Deus Ex - What a game!
Options

24-12-2002 7:33pm#1I picked up Deus Ex (now on budget) and my what a game! I have only started to play this for Christmas and my first impressions is a cross between half-life and thief. "Thief" because of the sneak element to it. The story line has me snared and it won't let go. Heeelp!
Anyways, just one quickie before I head back into it: Is there any real way to gauge how well the enemy can spot you? ie how close or how bright must it be before they spot you (if your crouched and by a wall lets say)? I must confess I love the covert approach to the game!
How this I miss this gem? 0

Dunno bout visibily, I always used my silenced pistol (I had my pistol upgraded to the last - loved that wee thing) and pop em in the back of the head before they looked in my direction
Its a classic game aye, the best single player FPS I've played, dunno about multiplayer though, never really tried it properly. How you went for so long without having to pick it up is a mystery tho, once it went down to 10 yoyo's it had to be mine 0 -

I'm really getting into this and I'm now at Hell's Kitchen NY. The story is gripping as hell. And I'm trying (wish to) to take out the NSF with non-lethal methods but it's proving tricky even on 1 to 1 basis at times.
How did ye manage this? Well, I have tried using riot control gas (damages me slightly) but I get to knock 'em out. Sometimes I use fire extinguishers and then knock them out.
The prod stunner is good but limited ammo. Using the baton is risky and rarely works at "trained". Is it worth going for "master" with low-tech weapons.
I like the silenced pistol but seems unfair! 0 -
having master on low tech weapons is very handy later on
it's a great game, and really u can play it whatever way u want to, aug's, weapons, stealth, brute etc. I tried to take a balanced approach, but always sniped when possible, following up with the assault rifle, seemed to stead me well throughout.
Game was brilliant to play through though, esp. the way the story unfolds, single handedly rescued ion storm after the daikatana debacle. Still been meaning to play through it using cheats was only able to snipe with a steady aim for last 10% of the game, rest of the time was compensating all the time 0 -

well you're on track, cause the creators of deus ex brought us thief, the founders or founder behind the magic of thief went onto create deus ex, and a gem in it's own right!

Ah.. almost forgot. In Deus Ex, do fags have any benefit? I tried them out and my chest area just suffers as you'd expect but I thought that from reading elsewhere that the ciggies help you restore bio-energy. Maybe you can distract the enemy by leaving a packet on the ground ala Commandos? Also what is it about the flares!!! I have 18 of these guys and really haven't found a good use for these yet. I tried using them as a distraction.. kinda works but not worth carrying around for.
Now I gotta go back to Hell's Kitchen again and deal with that hostage situation at Ton's Hotel. 0 -

Actually I was thinking about System Shock 2. I read a lot of it online - and one thing that a lot of folk pointed out was it - fanastic intelligent game but... hit by a lot of un-necessary bugs? Is this true, did any of the patches help? If so, I will definitely come back to that. I loved their earlier work - put into Ultima Underworld I & II.
Better late than never... this Deus Ex story is taking some twists! Off to Asia now but my pilot is locked down at the moment. 0 -
Yeah System Shock 2 won't run on my machine, it's windows 2000 professional, service pack 3. It gives me a message saying that it won't work with a version of directx below 6.1, although I have version 9. I don't know if theres any patch for it either.
Other than that though, it supposedly works well enough in Win 9x machines. In Win XP, you can play the game in compatibility mode, so I think it's a problem with any Windows computer based on Win NT.
As for Deus Ex, great game. Silenced pistol is great up close, but once you master the sniper rifle, picking off targets become childs play. It's especially fun if you see them running around miles away when you shoot one of them, while you're at your vantage point just decimating them with a few shots .
If you're concerned with taking people down without killing them (pffft :P) then you should use the crossbow with tranquiliser rounds. Just be sure to stay out of their way once they're hit, as they run around for a little time afterwards until the tranquiliser takes effect. Also an effective distraction is throwing objects at or near the enemy, he will always turn in the direction of the noise for a few seconds.0 -
