SegaBits Plays: Deus Ex - Beginning 5th December JOIN US!
« on: November 26, 2014, 03:41:26 pm »
Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the Senator...

WHAT IS THIS?
Deus Ex is one of the greatest games ever made. With some members talking about it recently a few of us are going to play the game starting the same day and discuss our progress here. As Deus Ex is a game with a lot of freedom in play it should be very fun to see how each of us plays differently.
I'll update with more details about the game soonish if this actually gathers some interest.

CAN I PLAY TOO?

I would like as many people to join as possible! We start playing on the weekend beginning 5th December. Not strict on time, anytime around that weekend should be fine.

WHERE CAN I BUY IT? CAN I RUN THE GAME?

The game is old as the hills, so should run on most computers.
It can be purchased here (at time of writing it's only $3.89 CDN, 50% off on sale):

Great stuff. Well count me in i'll be ready on 5th december. I imagine for someone who likes the game so much you've already played it more than once?

I... actually don't think I have! I've played it a lot but I think I used to replay segments I liked and play with friends etc to show various levels. It's also been a long, long time since I last played, so I'm really looking forward to plaything through again :)


Not sure how I'll build my character though... I know I've played stealthy in DX and DXHR a lot, so I might try the opposite and go for guns blazing rootin' tootin' rocket launcher shootin'.

I'll figure whats best for me. The first time I played human revolution I did the same and ended up blazing guns shooting everyone like there's no tomorrow. 2nd time I went for the pacifist achievement. Fun on both occasions but stealthy took alooott longer to finish. I'm not even sure why I did it for the achievement when I dont even like them in the first place lol.

Surprised you finished it only once. What better time to do it again :afroman:

I told you! This game runs on Fred Flintstone's PC!

I installed it yesterday from GOG, it supports up to 1600x900 res. I might look for some FoV and other visual mod/updates, but if not this looks good enough already.

We all set for next weekend start? Aki-at might be joining us too!

While I don't have a problem with it, if Old Man Graphics (TM) are an issue, you can make it a little better with this high res texture mod:

Gameplay remains unchanged for that pure Deus Ex experience.

Installed the high-res texture pack and played around a bit in the starting area, this game is so much fun, and the high res textures look quite nice!

Looking forward to next Friday!

Very nice, I think I'll leave it as is. Netbook seemed to struggle a bit when I played it, haha.

Probably a good idea! The textures about 1.5GB (thats like 3 times the size of the vanilla game...)
