Are you sure you installed the right Visual C++ Runtimes? From the fixer website: quote:Make sure you've got the Visual C++ 2012 runtimes (if the application gives an error about 'MSVCRT110.DLL' missing) download here. Note that this 32 bit version is also right for 64 bit operating systems, as the game is a 32 bit executable. This update is required even for Windows 8!

McDowell posted:What are you talking about? In Area 51 you have a choice of objectives leading to each ending. Button pressing is involved yes, but it was much better than HR where you defeat the boss and just have three buttons to choose. I'd argue that both of them hosed up because both gave you choices of which ending you wanted, instead of letting your past actions dictate your available endings. This is more forgiving in the first game than the third, but it still would be a good way around the CYOA style endings that derail a character.

The Deus Ex: Nihilum mod was just released yesterday. It's set in DX's universe, and comes with full voice acting (and a great soundtrack too) I played it yesterday and really enjoyed my time with it - it's not exactly the same as DX but similar enough that I got crazy-immersed in it. Definitly give it a go if you want more Deus Ex mods (And man voice acting does make a huge difference)

It's been a while since I've played but how are Page and Simons able to be nano-augmented? The game explains that anyone without compatible genes would die if augmentation were attempted on them. And I somehow doubt Page and Simons just so happen to have the right genes. Did they have to do gene therapy or something?

Agent P is almsot certainly based on Page's DNA. It's not so much that your DNA is tailored to accept nanoaugs, but nanoaugs are tailored to accept your DNA.

Simons being a clone makes sense, though that still doesn't explain Page's situation. And I don't think the nano augs could be tailored to fit any individuals DNA at that time. That was a major plot point in invisible war: being able to create biomods that could rewrite an individuals DNA so anyone could be augmented with them. If you could could have done that by the time of Deus Ex then you would have expected more of UNATCO's agents to be augmented besides just the Dentons. It would have been expensive, sure, but Page has money to spare.

According to the Deus Ex bible Simons had his immune system replaced to deal with the nanites; which resulted in the facial scarring that he has. When Page goes fully into nanoaugs to prepare for Helios the same thing happens to him.

Oh, I must be getting confused with some other game or film that deals with the same subject then, because I could have sworn that Page hi-jacks the Illuminati's nano projects, stealing formula for the Grey Death and using it to author nano augs and agents based on his own DNA. In the room at area 51 with the clone tanks, isn't Page listed as the DNA source for the empty JC and Paul tanks? The facial scarring I just attributed to the same kind of visibible augmentation JC and Paul have, just a slightly older/more comprehensive setup.

No, Paul was never A clone. Only JC was, of Paul. Here's the full text for the chamber where you find your tank (ignoring Alex Denton's completely erroneous info considering DX:IW's plotline).

I think there was an oversight there. In the first conversation with Paul, I think he remarks that JC and Paul Denton are code names, but they were happy to at least have the same fake surname.

The character creation screen has an option for JC's real name, it's just also JC Denton by default. If you change it, Paul will call you by your real first name in emails.

Paul isn't exactly a clone, but he was created from a tube and birthed from his mother. The research done on Adam made it possible to create babies like that, so it's almost more like Adam is Paul's father.

Fuzz posted:I thought the implication in HR is that Paul was a clone of Adam Jensen? Paul was already born by the time HR rolls around, he was 9. Whether he was a product of genetic engineering or random happenstance is up for debate since Adam was modified by White Helix, one of the many subsidiaries of Versalife. There's nothing so far from any of the games to indicate that he wasn't just incredibly lucky genetically though. There is some stuff in the DX bible about how many clones were made of Paul besides JC to help further nanoaugs but they were all destroyed prior to your placement at Unatco.

There's also the question of Adam's origins, as I believe at some point in HR you encounter an elderly woman who worked at the gene clinic at which Adam was "treated", and she seems to have some confusion about the year of his birth. Some people just dismissed this as an old woman misremembering, but I just assumed that the baby that was "treated" at the clinic likely died, and Adam was a replacement clone with his genes rejigged to accept augmentation. Whether or not his parents were complicit was another issue.

One of the good things about Deus Ex is that your "real" name is very rarely used, so set it to something really stupid. You'll forget what you did until about halfway through the game, when you read an email starting "Be on the lookout for JC Denton, aka Chesney Bumflakes..." or whatever.

I recalled from a while ago there were a couple of Deus Ex mods being made and went looking today. Decent timing because 3 days ago one actually got finished. http://www.moddb.com/mods/nihilum Downloaded it and the recommended New Vision game augmentation and I'm now ready to give it a go.  Anyone else seen/played this?

I've played HR too many times because I love the atmosphere and all that, but replaying it has made me hyper critical of the flaws. I'm replaying Deus Ex for the first time in a long time-some of the areas are taking me by surprise-and the difference in quality in some aspects is really striking. The writing in DX is yards above HR. the conspiracy unravels in a really organic way; I don't remember as much ambiguity as I'm discovering now, whereas in HR I felt like it was "illuminati bad sarif good". Level design is way better, which is especially obvious when you look at the work in Dishonored which was closer to DX than HR was in terms of design. Levels are smaller but it doesn't matter because there's so much more to the game's length as well as more little secrets to discover. I think one of the most pleasant things about DX are how well mouse and keyboard work with the UI. If you're comfortable using a PC, it feels very natural and making it feel natural just makes it that much more immersive. It's an amazing game, and playing it after maybe ten years has just added a new layer to my rose colored lenses. I just got HR for PC so I'm looking forward to trying that next and seeing how it feels vs. PS3.

Poppleganger posted:Good stuff Deus Ex is still the better game, don't get me wrong. The size and detail of its levels, the amazing amount of reaction to the player, and the combination of augs and skills makes each run a whole new experience. That's what makes it so goddamned replayable (besides being fun as hell). HR, even though it has its faults (seriously, you get tired real fast of ransacking drawers for candy bars like some fatty with appetite augmentations) is, I think, just about as good as its predecessor. I absolutely love the feel of the game--it feels like a mystery you're unraveling (which it is)--and the amount of work put into the world and the backstory just pulls me in. And it nails the fear and worry of the late 2000's just as well as DX nailed the X-Files/conspiracy feeling of the 1990's. I kinda waffle on which one I like more. But when I do I just play through both again!

I don't even care which was "better" in any sense; they were both well-written and extremely fun. It's kind of like the original Star Wars movies. When I was a kid, ROTJ was my favorite. As I got older, ESB took the lead. The only wrong answer to which was greatest is any of the prequels. (Likewise, Invisible War....)

I was dying from laughter at the briefing from the chief and when you keep talking to him he says a bunch of useful stuff but man... There's no dialogue choices at all  Kinda bums me out but even tho you don't get to pick your witty remarks, the default talk is still hella funny. And the world the guy made seriously reminds me of HR's downtown. It certainly looks very good. Ingram asks the chief if he should get to a chopper to get to the mission area and the guy just gets increasingly angrier in speech and basically tells you that they blew the helicopter budget already and you'll be brought there by van. Doesn't stop Ingram from being a smug motherfucker. After that i was exploring and some vendor mentions he can get you a key to the underground subway or something and you can buy it or trade him an ambrosia vial for it. I walk around and loot some dudes apartment and accidentally find a vial at random. Nice. Then i spend 3 hours getting lost in the city. Still looking for the first contacts in order to start the mission proper but hey.. It looks nice!

Ingrams voice seems to change slightly with each conversation. Most of the voice acting thus par has been pretty poor, but thats the only real complaint. For an amateur project this is fantastic so far. Also I just noticed lamp has a mustache. Was that in DE too?  Edit: And a face on the base. If you look at it as a whole its a robot face with an extending mustache.

I really should get back to playing this. I'm really early on, at the point where I'm at Paul's apartment and have been declared a traitor to Unatco, so I must flee the city. I've defeated the bunch that storms the apartment, but there's a ton of them in the lobby. I've tried fighting them, but it's not very effective, even though Paul comes out to join in the fighting. If I die, I wake up in a cell, so I guess it's not exactly game over. Is it worth trying to kill all the people in the lobby? Will Paul be okay later on if I get caught (killed) in the lobby of the Ton?
