Original Deus Ex worth playing?!?

Hello PC gamers

i just finished Deus Ex: HR and wow!

an amazing game that is no doubt!

im thinking of picking up the original Deus Ex for £4 from the playstation store

i ask you PC gamers because you have the most exp playing the DeusEx franchise....so

is it worth buying? is it any good? would it be like Human Revolution ofcourse minus the graphics?

please give me some advise before making my decision.

thanks.

Pretty much this.

It's clunkier, but it offers a much deeper experience than HR - there are more options, more augments, more cities, more difficult decisions to make, more...everything. I think the original has a stronger story, too.

Word of warning though: the opening mission is...slow. You start the game with very few skills or tools, so you'll kind of suck at everything for a while.

Check the blog in my sig. if you want better graphics and better AI. As a friendly advice though, you should first play it as it is until you have a good view, and if you don't like it, apply the mods mentioned.

i duno, the game just looks too clunky, especailly after playing HumanRevolution.

The original Deus Ex is literally my favorite game of all time. Its beyond worth buying.

I just recently finished playing Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, is it similar to that in any way?ArchonOver

Deus Ex is probably the most similar game to Vampire Bloodlines that I can think of.

There's much more shooting than there is melee combat (and it certainly isn't as smooth), but other than that...they both place a very strong emphasis on allowing players to sneak/hack/shoot/explode/climb/persuade their way through missions.

its only £4 on the pns store!

Yes. Nothing has happened in the last 12 years that reverses the appeal of the original game. Unless of course technically, where you may have trouble gettting this older game to run on newer specs. But I am sure there are workarounds available. And while playing it, it will likely make you ponder why "modern" games are no longer as ambitious, or as large.

It's just 4 bucks, go get it :) Ofcourse you won't get the cover system or slowmotion takedowns from HR but the game is absolutely great if you can handle some dated graphics. Takes some getting used to, but once you're in you won't get out.

Deus Ex is one of those games that everyone who's interested in RPGs/Sci-Fi should give a try. Also, I'd reccommend picking it up on PC rather than getting the PS2 version off PSN.

It's on Steam for $6, too. A million times better than the console version.

Awesome, I just bought it and wanted to mod it. Thanks!

IMHO, Deus Ex is one of the worst games ever. It joins System Shock, Thief, Half Life as heralding the end of pc gaming. Don't play it, it's not

worth it. Terrible story, short and boring missions. The whole thing is over in about 3 hours. You start the game out waiting for your brother

at the Statue of Liberty. You were supposed to go on a double date with two hot chicks from the UNATCO sorority. Neither of them shows up. Instead, your

brother gives you a BFG (GEP in the game). You're so angry, you go psycho and start shooting up the joint. Later a German cyborg dude shows up. Things go downhill from there.

Seriously, don't bother.

I've played it for a couple of hours, and I just couldn't get past the bad graphics and levels. Coming from someone who has played it quite recently. For what it's worth, it isn't because it's old. I've finished Half Life last year, and I loved it.

overrated series.

I'd say the original is better. There's more choice, and that's what the whole franchise is about.

Same thread from a few weeks ago. Should be helpful for the OP.

As stated above, seems to be one of these every so often. And for good reason I might add. Deux Ex is my favorite pc game ever, and one of the best pc ever games made imo.

The original Deus Ex is the only Deus Ex in my opinion. I have played it many times and I expect I shall play it many times more.famicommander

I felt Deus Ex: Human Revolution did a really good job of rebooting the series, you should try it out when you get the chance.

It's definitely worth it, though it's more RPG orientated than Deus Ex Human Revolution.

I personally think you can live without playing the orignal Deus Ex. I don't think the presentation, the shooting, the graphics(heh), and the overall game hold up all that well at all.

There are some mods out there that can greatly improve the graphics if you aren't satisfied with it's current visuals.

It can look this good and still be an awesome game:http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GLFP-JxsmhY/TkmKVYHq-gI/AAAAAAAABj4/WfHpcO3eg1A/s1600/Deus%2BEx%2BNew%2BVision%2BGraphics%2BTextures%2BModification%2BPack.jpg

Human Revolution, in my opinion, is a success to it's predecssors and worth playing as well.

You may not like it, but you owe it to yourself as a gamer to try it.

Lol, You are the only person in the world who thinks that.

Ha, no, I was just messing with the guy's head. But, seriously, there is a thread every week started by someone asking whether Deus Ex is worth playing.

The crazy physics alone make it worth playing even today.
