Deus Ex - still good!

[The Night Shade]

is one of the best games ever made

Additionally, nobody can defend the animation in that game.

I can defend it by reminding you it was made using the first iteration of the Unreal Engine, which didn't support all the fancy animated crap you see in games today.

I'm not saying that it's not reasonable or explainable. I'm saying that it looks fucking terrible.

Actually, I've found that people that didn't play it within a few years of its release tend to have a bit of a difficult time getting into it. The technology hasn't aged well - it doesn't play nicely with multi-core CPUs, which are of course standard by now, and not everyone has the technical knowledge to get around that easily. Additionally, nobody can defend the animation in that game.

I think I'm one of the exceptions to this, then. I only picked it up about a year ago, and after a little frustration on the first mission - for some reason I could never quite manage to knock somebody out in one hit with the baton - I was hooked. I've played it through twice since, and tried a number of different mods. A brilliant game.

Then again, I still play UT99 online...

I just recently installed the game also, and was blown away by how good it is. It truly is a gem, and defently falls into the catogory of games that no one thought existed that is "Truly timeless". In other news Deus Ex 3 is rumered to come out this year, but my source on that may be wrong.

I've been reading these forums for a while now, and this is the first Deus Ex love-fest that i've seen. This makes me happy inside.

Deus Ex is one of those games that never really found its way off my hard drive, every now and then i give it a whirl and get completely absorbed in it all over again - its the closest thing to gaming perfection that i've found.

Deus Ex 2: It's better than you remember!

<--- I chuckled at this, i think it would have been a perfectly good sci-fi shooter if it hadn't had the massive and inevitably disastrous responsibility of being a sequel to something quite special.

And yet now games like HALO and Gears of war are held up as examples of the perfect game, where did we go wrong?

I recently took up the title so I could get familiar with Warren Spector's work for Epic Mickey. The game is absolutley astounding. They did so much more than many modern games do with so much less.
