I have played, moded & loved Half-Life ever since it wos released.
I have read all teh reviews of Deux Ex saying how good it is but is it a big a milestone as Half-Life was.
In short if I buy will I be dissapointed.

Deus Ex and No One Lives Forever are pretty good games... although there is more emphasis on stealth in Deus Ex (like System Shock 2) and a more frustating time like when you're out of ammo... if you can bear with that, the game's great

I dont know why, i was disapointed with deusEx , and the weird thing is, i loved system shock2 and thief.
I CANT get in the damn game, i dont know if its the ambience, but i cant play deus ex more than 1 hour before im sick of it. And god knows how many times i've tried to like it.

imo (READ IMO) half life kick its ass anytime.

I own and love Deus Ex, but sadly it will NEVER be the next Half-Life. There is one big reason:

NO MULTIPLAYER.

WTF? really, a First Person Shooter without multiplayer mode? And to think, i'ts based on Unreal? True, the single player experieince rocked. Also true, the replay value is better than most games, but without multiplayer, how good can it truely be? Especially when the game lends itself to soo many muliplay posibilites.

Also, D3d mode sux ass big time, but OGL (in this one, isloted incident) is worse. The patch helps, but it still needs work.

Deus X is a great game. It's a bit tought on your computer because it doesn't support OpenGl taht well (or at all ?), so it ither uses Glide or direct3D. Other than that it's an awsome game. You build up your skills as you play, the story is very well developed, and it doesn't get stupid like 1/2 Life after you get to some planet with weird landscape and shoot some aliens (what a bull!). I don't suggest you start playing Deus X if you are in school now, it gets pretty addictive to the point when you are not doing your h/w anymore

Kinda like these forums, eh?

And I thought running around on Zen in Half Life was a blast!

It's about the next whatever-you-want. You can play the game with just about any style you like. Some are more successful than others but it's very cutomizable. If you've ever played System Shock, you've got a pretty good idea.

but theif 1,2 and sys2 didn't have m/player.....dues ex is one of the best games but it can't be compared with half life as its an action/rpg not a shooter.....the two are almost completely different games.......if you want to know what dues ex is like imagine sys2 (if you can't then imagine theif1,2 with big guns) but with more world interaction and interaction with npcs (non player chareters) and the fact that there are literally hundereds of ways to playe the game where in half-life you were led by the hand throught out the game......sort of like a rail shooter there was only ever one way to go to get past something when in dues ex you can do what you want

If you liked Half Life, Deus Ex is a must have. You can either sneek around, run and gun or both and the role playing elements
take it beyond Half Life. It doesn't have multi-player but the single player is quite lengthy and it has three different endings. Deus Ex is a resource hog but I didn't mind playing at lower resolutions because of the fun factor. The plot is very good too although a bit involved. Try Star Trek Voyager Elite Force also. It has alot of scripted events which really move the game along. I played it through twice and it never crashed. Crib.

i've got Deus Ex and can positively say its ONE of the best games i've played. Its got a great atmosphere and will work great on your system. Buy it and lose any social life you have!! The end movie (if u can call it that is crap no matter which of the 3 u take) If the worst part of it and really lets it down though.

phat boy? hehe, some day you will become a phat man... til then, I am the one and only phatman!
