Part 1: No Exits - I talk about ways to justify examining the training mission, how the future looks, and a problem that plagued Deus Ex throughout. The post goes into a good deal more detail about that. Yet for this project I'll be playing it without any enhancements because the idea is to look at Deus Ex itself not someone else's version of Deus Ex.

On Newer Better Graphics and Original Text - Deus Ex is an old game, and even when it came out the graphics weren't exactly top of the line. First public knowledge world history, then secret history known to conspiracy groups and such, then the personal history that led the Main Character to be where he was. It was also renowned for its game-play and has been called the best game of all time, by multiple sources I believe.Īnyway, I'm going through it slowly and writing about the experience.Īn Introduction of sorts - In which I talk about Deus Ex, its game-play, and go off on a tangent about an inexplicable 'Teach the Controversy' style thing that seems to go on where some people say with no evidence to support them and plenty of evidence against them that there's a massive inconsistency about when the game takes place, and those who point out, 'No there isn't, it takes place in 2052,' are dismissed as star struck and believing that the developers could do no wrong (spoiler alert, they could.)īackstory - I go over the games backstory in three ways. (It's four bucks new.) It takes as its setting a the future of a world where the conspiracy theorists were right, and somehow manages to make that into a very deep and complex story and setting. At the time of writing this it's been several months since I had a Deus Ex post (That being Messy Beginnings) consider this a promise that there will be more to come.ĭeus Ex is a game from the year 2000 that I very much recommend you buy.
