Great video, great topic, and that voice made me think it was one of the actual Bloodlines voice actors narrating it at first.
I've been trying to gather my thoughts and start discussions about Bloodlines and Deus Ex because they are both games that are objectively TERRIBLE in similar ways: Wonky controls and action gameplay, underwhelming technical art direction, overall muddy production values. Still, they are two of the best PC games of all time and always incredibly captivating to play at any time. I don't like the word "timeless", but both these games are worth more than the sum of their parts, their individual failings (and they both have many) should not result in great games but they absolutely are. They far outshine more polished and objectively rich games and it is very hard to explain why that is.
I guess they both just struck a nerve, found a one in a million formula where everything comes together in the end. You see what appears to be a rather dull and unattractive woman, not expecting much, but in less than fifteen seconds of her touching you you feel that endless tugging sensation and FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU-
Err...
So yeah, these games are far better than all the evidence would suggest.
