I noticed after I posted. Master is a lot of time, like enough to read leisurely but I obviously do not always read throughly. So it probably is just a lot of time to me.

It's the worst main Deus Ex game, but I don't think it's bad per se. I replayed it not too long ago and didn't regret it.

I still love I War. Make sure to grab the “Visible Upgrade” mod. Adds native widescreen support, fixes the minimizing loading area issue, adds in the HD mods (optional) and even has FOV and other fixes. I play it on 21x9 and it still works a treat thanks to this mod.

That reminds mesite posted:I'm planning on trying invisible war for the first time after i wrap up dx1. I've already grabbed some unofficial patches recommended by pcgamingwiki, are there any tips gameplay/mission wise? side stuff easily missed and the like If you play, feel free to gently caress around trying out augs, even if they seem like they might not be good, same with weapon mods. Unlike DX, there are way more augs and mods than you can use, and if you don't like the one you chose, you can replace it later.

Finished the last DLC,not sure how i feel about it,forgettable plot but very open ended levels and i thought the therapist angle was strong,but the objectives were unclear and i frequently got lost. Best bits : entering a supermax prison and the first thing i do is snoop around every single cell,acquire booze,drink it directly in front of a guard and face no repercussions. 3 minutes later and i’m armed with every gun and tool in the prison not to mention the praxis stuffed down my pants and i’ve stun gunned practically every guard and hacked every camera i possibly can.

If anyone feels like giftbombing their friends Deus Ex GOTY, it's under a buck on Steam again right now. What did the goty designation even add btw? Just the patches and multiplayer? I'm certain there was never new content.

Correct, it was normal at the time to release a goty version with the final patch. Downloading a several hundred mb patch was a struggle for a lot of people around 2001, it made sense to release a definite version. Also patch cycles were short, virtually no game received more than a couple of patches, most receiving none.

It seems like there are three popular mods now that modernize the game/restore cut content: GDMX v9, GDMX v10 and Revision. Which one should I play? I played vanilla multiple times. e: there's also Shifter and Biomod but they seem quite old?

Biomod is just vanilla rebalanced. It basically makes shifter obsolete.

One thing I always found interesting... if you had a  copy and therefore couldn't leave Liberty Island, you got exactly as much gameplay as the demo. I'm wondering whether the programmers anticipated that people would do what they did and programmed it accordingly.

Revision changes all the levels around. It's worth a play through if you've played the game 30 times and just want something different. I don't think it really improves anything, but it's fun to at least have a sort of new experience.

GMDX uses the New Vision mod to make the game look better, but it’s still true to the original. Most of the changes are gameplay related, and are pretty subtle at that. The main reason I like GMDX the best is that it makes the gun play a lot more fun.

There's one feature Shifter has that I like but Biomod leaves out, but I can't remember what it is. I need to play the PS2 version of this game. I hunted it down specifically and I even bought the official strategy guide because I stumbled on it for $5 at a FLGS, but it's going to be tough playing with no mouse for aiming and a controller on a game clearly designed for a keyboard. I think Easy difficulty for my first run.

Better than that. There was no crash. You would talk to the boat driver at the correct time and the subtitle would say "hop in" or whatever and then nothing would happen. No crash, just apparently a cue to get on the boat somehow, but there was no way to do so. This would cause people to ask on forums "how do I get on the boat?" thus outing themselves as having pirated the game. edit: for more context, the pirated copy lacked ALL voice lines to keep the size down - they didn't just remove the boat driver's line only. You had to play to the end of the Liberty Island mission to even get to that part, so the pirates testing it must have only played a bit to make sure it still worked (which for most things did) and said "good enough" BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Jul 30, 2021 |

Apparently arkham asylum developers made sure that pirated copies of the game would remove gliding or the ability to hang off ledges,like was said before people would go on forums asking why this was happening and outing themselves. GTA IV had permanent drunk physics and cars that would instantly explode.

True but one of my favorite GTA 4 moments was trying to outrun the cops on that one long street that has the not-Washington Arch on it. Tried to hang a left, failed because every car understeered in that game, hit the waist height wall fast enough to eject from the car, and landed clear of the cop radius. Hell yeah! *limps to nearest hospital*
