Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

So much to explore... the wolrd truly feels alive

Das Spiel startet scheinbar normal. Ich klicke mich durch die Voreinstellungen...dann stürzt es ab. Der nächste Veruch im abgesicherten Modus setzt sämtliche Settings zurück, es öffnet sich ein lächerlich kleines Fenster, in dem irgendwann der Zeiger einfach an einer Stelle hängen bleibt und nichts mehr funktioniert. Somit ein Fehlkauf.

This was the first computer game I didn't get from my older sibling or father when it was out in CD. A friend had it and I wanted it, eventually got it as a gift. I am happy to get to play it now to this day. The graphics can get janky but the soundtrack and voice acting is still top notch. Limited character skins, if that matters and can only play as a male character. Getting to decide if you are going to sneak, or shoot your way through everyone is fun. Be aware the save files are rather large and syncing up with GOG will limit how many different save files you can have. Originally having 3 endings seemed like a great thing when I was used to 1 ending games. Now the endings are a little bit of a letdown, nothing matters until the last chapter. I still wish there was an option to stay with your initial employer to the end. Hunt down your traitor brother and his friends. That is not the story being told though. Some of the dialogue can get really weird. The game has a number of lethal and non-lethal weaponry. When you are given the task to kill people if you use the non-lethal weaponry to get them "unconscious" everyone acts as if you killed them. Same goes if they want you to take arrest someone alive, making them unconscious is treated as if you killed them. Getting to use the different augmentations is fun. Of the various binary choices some are more obvious to other regardless of how you choose to play. Others are dependent on how you want to play. You don’t necessarily know until you have gone through a couple of playthroughs.

Great old game, being able to get the revision mod in the launcher as well actually makes it playable without having to fight with settings and mods to get a playable version!

First playthrough, its a lot of fun thus far!
