Notorious b.s.d. posted:dx:iw is so badly compromised on a technology level that it's not fun to play idk oblivion never gave me much issue, while morrowind at launch was a known dog due to drm and an issue with the engine. both benefit from years of hardware improvements and an active community of modders fixing issues, while iw basically just exists some googling shows there is a fan patch to fix a lot of iw issues about a year ago so maybe its a bit nicer with it, but i last tried to play it before the patch

the bits and pieces that you hear about the dx:iw development are always great like for instance they basically had a radium on their team who worked by himself and was supposed to be in charge of extending the unreal engine as required for the game, but instead of implementing any of the features they needed, he spent like literal years just rewriting all the lighting code from scratch and then quit, leaving them with a really good but entirely undocumented dynamic shadow renderer and nothing else that worked

to be fair to invisible war though a lot of the disappointment is just that it had to live up to The Best PC Game Ever Made, something that none of the sequels have been able to pull off and probably never will it was an average to decent game for 2003 and if it hadn't had the words "Deus Ex" in the title it probably would have been remembered much more fondly

hobbesmaster posted:it was pretty “meh” and forgettable the theory behind the unified ammo was that it would improve player agency: you wouldn't have the situation where you get to some spot and go "dang, the mag rail would be perfect here, but they didn't put in any mag rail ammo for the last three levels, guess i'll have to play a different way." you'd always have the tools to play the way you wanted. in reality of course it ended up as you described, and had even dumber side effects too -- like you would have to decide whether you wanted to fire one rocket or twenty pistol shots. the better way is the vending machine/auto-recycler model where you can break down ammo you don't want and turn it into ammo you do need at a penalty.

The most redeeming factor of DX:IW is that your strength mod lets you throw objects farther, and it was one of the first games to implement both reasonable ragdoll physics and the ability to carry downed enemies fireman style and then hurl them. This was pre hl2 and it did a pretty good job overall. As a quest to murder everyone on a level and then try to fling their corpses into the lighting fixtures, the game was actually quite fun.

today i rode home through silicon valley, ripping past multi-million-dollar gated enclaves and sterile corporate office complexes on my beat-up old motorcycle, the electroluminescent amber glow of my instrument cluster flickering under a rapidly darkening sky, and i saw: - a billboard ad urging me to reserve my flying car today; - a billboard ad implying that i'd "be happy" if i used their videophone software; - the decrepit blue husk of the AMPEX sign, left behind when their tubes were obsoleted by newer and faster computers; - an ad for the world's lightest and sharpest VR deck; - and ads from three separate companies extolling the power and functionality of their artificial intelligences, including one with the prototypical "Creation of Adam but one hand is human and one is a robot" imagery. and for a moment i felt a genuine excited giddiness for the cyberpunk future that's coming true right now until i remembered that all of those things are just a pack of goddamned lies.
