If anyone wants to play it again, dont forget the amazing mods available: https://www.moddb.com/games/deus-ex/mods

New renderers, new engines, The Purist Mod, GMDX, The Nameless Mod...

My favourite ever games journalism quote:

"There's a tendency among the press to attribute the creation of a game to a single person," says Warren Spector, creator of Thief and Deus Ex.

I had a subscription to PC Gamer and saw it was named Game of the Year. I got it from Wal Mart, a beautiful shiny box, and inside was a fake newsletter about events in the game world, I think the paper that Joe Greene, an in-game character, wrote for.

I had no idea what I was in for, and as a 15 year old, I felt twists and surprises, and organic game reactions to things I did that blow my mind even today, and imo still haven't been matched. And leveling and skills truly mattered and were tied into the game. Inventory management and ammo was interesting, the interface was perfect. It also had a kind of intellectual curiosity in the dialog that I only ever felt in, say, Alpha Centauri and later, Disco Elysium. It's still the best PC game ever imo.

One thing that bugs me is the article explains the twin towers missing from the skyline as "rendering engine couldn’t handle any more polygons", but it turns out... it's way more complicated than that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpi5xUXPqok .

I'm working to make open-source the webgl port in a few days! I love this game.

Finally sat down and played this a few years ago. I didn’t think I’d be able to get into such an old game but it was one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

First, GMDX it's amazing.

Second, there's Open Deus EX (I think not GMDX compatible yet) and DX-Rust, which it is.

I still play to that game, and it's my favourite among Slashem and some few interactive fiction ones.

The background behind the text makes it hard to read. Getting a bunch of horizontal lines that intersect whole lines of text

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

what a great game! *nostalgic tears dropped*

Deus Ex was an amazing game. My only regret is that the more we see the real world impacts of late stage capitalism and technology enthusiasm, I've spent more time wondering if the Tracer Tong ending was the better choice for the world
