Holy poo poo you guys! Been playing this game since release and never used the GEP gun until now! Started a new play through and just walked right in the Liberty statue front door blowing poo poo up and rescuing Gunther. Later Paul was like " you killed a lot of dudes..."

So I'm playing thru revision with the "biomod" option enabled. Shouldn't certain augs like the "lift heavy poo poo" aug be passive and always on? Cuz it isn't. Am I doing something wrong or was that changed?

For those not in the know, there is finally an unofficial patch/mod for invisible war that gets rid of the minimizing between loading screens issue, adds widescreen support (including ultra wide) and the texture pack mods included. If this is a game you actually enjoy minus those inconveniences: this is for you. It's called the "visibility patch" or something like that.

Almost finished with my Steam Revision playthrough and I don't get the hate. I wasn't stuck or confused anywhere, have tons of augs and am super enjoying it.

I actually just finished my Revision playthrough at 34 hours. I remember buying this game in 2000 because it was PC Gamers Goty that year beating both Baldurs Gate 2 and Diablo 2.

It's weird having finished Revision and loving it, then seeing tons of hate for it on YouTube and in this thread. I'm playing thru with GMDX now so we'll see how that goes.

I finished liberty island with GMDX and am going back to work on new game plus with Revision. I immediately didn't like how things felt, like the super fast crouch walking speed and the idea that stealth should be a skill to pump points into. This'll be my 9th play thru since the game was released. Such a classic!

Deus Ex was goty and BG2 was rpg of the year if memory serves. That review there is the reason I bought the game back then.

I still super enjoyed my run of Revision. It gets poo poo for having confusing and annoying level layouts but I loved the graphics updates that put it more inline with actually being a sequel to Human Revolution.

Xander77 posted:Wasn't there some sort of reward for sneaking near people and letting them live? Yes there is and the game gives you plenty of praxis points regardless of approach so you can still play how you want and be rewarded. If you’re a min maxer that’s a different issue.

aniviron posted:To my knowledge, no. I haven't played Thief 3 so I can't say for sure if it does this, but DXIW is programmed to destroy the process and relaunch the game between every level, and I assume that this was done because of serious problems with how the game was made, i.e. there are probably horrible memory leaks that went unfixed. Not sure if it would even be feasible to make DXIW have larger levels without fixing this. Google “invisible war visible upgrade.” Its a mod that fixes this issue along with offering widescreen support and hi res textures. It’s good and no one seems to be talking about it.

E.g. a piece of paper on a table only has half of it visible depending on what angle you look from I play in 21x9 Ultrawide with no issues, but at 2560x1080. maybe lowering the res to that, or switching to DX9 or 10 thru the launcher, whichever is a different one to what you’re currently using.

e.g. the soldier lying down during tutorial is partially cut off. Is this a known issue or am I missing some obvious setting?

aniviron posted:I'm not gonna go on a big rant but killing/knockouts shouldn't give you XP either. DX1 gave you XP for completing tasks and exploring, and that's about it. As a result, if you found a fast, efficient way to get past everyone, you were rewarded for being clever and not having to subdue everyone. In the new DX games if you want to get your upgrades quickly though, you have to go out of your way to play badly, taking down people who are not in your way. On one hand that is mathematically true. On the other hand, no matter how you play you’ll have all your favorite abilities maxed by mid game regardless.

Kontradaz posted:What's the newest hotness with the DX mods? Haven't really ever played non-vanilla DX1, wanted to try something out that's as polished. Also may attempt the Nameless Mod for the 5th time, probs still won't get over the internet culture references. I’ve played both revision and Gem Dicks (gmdx) and both are quite good. Revision is more of an extreme makeover while GMDX is more like “deus ex +” but I highly enjoyed both.

Reverse should obviously be "back" on the joystick. You also look up at the same time. This way Deus Ex can control like the flight sim it was originally planned to be.

Ever since Morrowind, I always use Shift to run, because I prefer to have auto-run OFF in all my games so I can walk like the good lord intended. I like walking in all the Deus Ex games and soaking in the atmosphere.

Also, xbox 360 controller works surprisingly well for 6DOF. I wish I could find a good bind for old school Deus Ex on the PC, but the game uses so drat many keys i'm afraid i'll miss something.

Look Sir Droids posted:Oh, apologies for murdering that one dude then. I tried an EMP grenade but it wore off. Didn't realize I could punch him. Get the "Visible Upgrade" mod. It allows for Widescreen resolutions and fixes the bug where the game minimized on level load, along with some other graphical enhancements. It's pretty much the worst Deus Ex game, but I still really like it. It's got some good ideas and some bad ideas. But it's also the shortest game so it wouldn't take a huge time commitment to burn through.

Shame about the art dude leaving. I liked Jensen a lot as a protag, and really felt that HR captured what made the original game so great. The only thing missing were the conspiracy theory inspired writing, but overall I really enjoyed HR and MD. I also loved their art styles.

Deus Ex might not belong, as a name, to that dude who left Eidos, but the aesthetics, many of the characters, much of the writing and world design absolutely do. I think Deus Ex HR is just about as good as the original game and was a fantastic comeback. It's just as much of a reboot as it is a prequel. If I worked on it for years and years and invested tons of my time into making one of my favorite franchises make a return, I'd consider it my baby also. That doesn't have to take away with anything Warren Spector/Ion Storm accomplished with the original games.

I don't play horror games in general. I've played Doom 3 and Bioshock, which have horror elements, but that's about it. But I can say for certain the most scared I ever got in a game was the original Deus Ex, sneaking around some vents somewhere (maybe versalife?) and I got shot in the face with acid by a greasal who was just past my range of vision. Just trying to sneak, and sitting perfectly still always had my heart throbbing also. I honestly wish when the game came out that I had a better general knowledge of the conspiracies like Illuminati or M12. I was 20 when it came out, but had never studied any of that poo poo or watched X-Files. So I didn't realize that a lot of the stuff was based on real world theories. Except Roswell. I knew about that because Hangar 18 I know too muuuuuch.

Look Sir Droids posted:Yeah, augs for the working class in HR were treated as career training. Aug your workers so you get automated productivity and keep them compliant relying on you for a paycheck and aug drugs. Not to mention the quest where augments were being pushed onto prostitutes by their pimps.

The thing I want most out of the series right now is the sequel we were promised before HR ever came out: the game that would actually show the Liberty Island attack and the forming of the NSF and Unatco. It feels like MD was moving toward that direction, so I hope it comes out one day. I'd especially love an "in-universe" explanation for why the world went backwards technically. I get the real reason is processing power, but I'd like to see it explained in the story.

Gunther is that guy in your office building whose been there since the company was a startup but no longer has any relevant skills in the fast moving world of technology. He's canned right before being able to collect retirement because HR is "curtailing redundancies in the work force".

I actually really enjoyed Revision and after playing it I was surprised how many people disliked it. Even the exploration didn’t bother me because I’d imagine that if it were real life that loot wouldn’t be found in every corner off-the-beaten path. I also appreciated that it made the game appear more “futuristic” inline with what I’d imagine a sequel to HR/MD would look.

I’m picking back up my playthrough of Gem Dicks 9.0 and I might still be on the side of the fence that prefers Revision. That said I still adore this game and can’t believe how well it still pays for being almost 20 years old. I remember when this Baldurs Gate 2, and Diablo 2 came out the same year. Was there ever a better year for gaming?
