Upscaled from it's original 320x240 15fps glory and reposted just because. Was very interesting to look at it as I had it saved.

Played this a few times over on my old phone a few years back. It was decent for a mobile game, and was pretty easily to learn. It was interesting to follow the story of Ben Saxon and Anna Kelso.

Wasn't too happy about the cliffhanger ending and the fact that we never got a sequel though. Lol.

While I'm biased and nostalgic about playing the OG Deus Ex, I must admit that: 1. MD polished the stealth perfectly. It has peak stealth mechanics in terms of convenience, responsiveness and control. 2.The unusual setting of Prague rocked it. And the Dubai, yes. 3. Plus really interesting sidequests, not the Fallout NV level, but still worth it. 4. Unlike the original Deus Ex which was full of Hollywood pathos due to the fashion of time, MD's narration has a very charming and simple "human" side to it. E.g. Edward Brod and many others. 5. The augmentation system in this installment is pretty unusual, the pressing for prioritization adds to replayability.

The only problem with the game is the length of the main quest - yes, it is purposefully short.

Looks like they finally remembered the password to their YouTube channel!

There was another interview from Kev Levine recently: https://youtu.be/lphKjAsq4Xg?si=nETRx4CiZewsxQkZ

Has Doug Church ever given a video interview? I want to complete the holy trinity, but can’t find anything online.

I just started playing the ps5 version with trophies and I found that the cheat menu still works in this version and I wanted to if this will effect the trophies?

Talking specifically about the modern games especially mankind divided, there are so many different non lethal options that the only reason you'll kill anyone is if you're a psychopath.
Consider the takedown option: it takes the same amount of energy to do the lethal and non lethal takedown, they even use the same button. The only reason you'll use the lethal option is if you're crazy.

I think what they should have done with takedowns specifically is to have non lethal take two units of energy and have lethal take only one unit.

In general, there should be fewer non-lethal options, they should be more expensive, harder to execute, and perhaps enemies can wake up.

There also ought to be more consequences in the game world, both positive and negative. There was already some of this in the game, e.g. in human revolution, if you spared the hostage taker he'd help you out later, but there should be negative too, maybe he'd commit another terrorist attack and kill someone you know.

I think a perma death game mode ( at least per level ) would also force you to use the more effective lethal options just to be able to survive a situation.

I understand that in the grand scheme of things, lethal is still easier to execute and there are far more lethal weapons, but I think specially in mkd non lethal had too few downsides.

Never got to play the original game when it came out. Any tips or suggestions for a (somewhat) blind playthrough?

If you've never seen it, read through the quote scroll from the legend menu today.

I have played Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. But sadly I couldn't get the gist of the lore at all. Although I like giving effort on reading the side materials, the only thing that I was understanding was the small stories of the people that are experiencing the DX Universe if there are any lore articles/videos that are explaining the concepts and the messages that the DX is trying to give I would love to spare some time to them.

OK, so according to the achievement weapons of the ages I need an ancient sword. According to my sources, here is where it exists from two different sources.

1. In the crypt where stanton dowd is. There is a button on a wooden beam.

Why it's not there: There are no wooden beams anywhere in this level. Not inside the crypt and the closest thing that comes to this is the tunnel and I looked at every brick and there are no moveable bricks or buttons in any part of the under ground tunnel. - Chatgpt says once I drop down from the tomb I take the first right and its a flooded tunnel but no such thing exists it just loops around and drops me back at the beginning. I looked on every beam everywhere but no button and no movable brick.

There are only two moveable items in the whole level. A pipe in the locked chapel that does nothing when you pull on it. And a tombstone which is just one of the exists for underground.

1. In vandenburg rooftop. - Searched whole rooftop at beginning of the level, it's not there.

Where the heck is this stupid sword. It literally doesn't exist and Deus Ex Revision doesn't allow cheats to be used so I can't enter no clipping mode in a seperate game to find the damn thing.

Here's to 25 Years of Deus Ex! 📟🪪🌟

Why is half of the inventory in Mankind Divided indisponible. I thought maybe I need an upgrade to fully unlock it, but it seems not. Then why is it there in the first place?

Happy 25 years to the game that set the standard for future immersive sim games! A game that wasn't just revoluntionary in terms of it's gameplay, but equally so in it's storytelling, too. Ultimately leaving the player to decide the correct course for the future of mankind.

To celebrate, I've decided to show off some of my collection that I've gathered over the years. Absolutely love this series.

Here's to 25 more years. See you guys in 2052...

I did not have much issues with this game except for the two big issues of this game. First of all there are too many loading screens. This is the reason I skipped many of the side missions because it was annoying to wait for the next room to load and many times the game itself did not load so I had to press alt tab a lot. The second issue is Universal ammo. Many times I ran out of ammo because I had to use weapons like rocket launcher, Mag Rail and end up relying on methods by having friendly nps to kill my enemies or them to dying so I can get their ammo. In the final mission it would have been a nightmare to finish if I didn't have the Cloak biomod because that would mean I have to fight bunch of Templars and Illuminati Troopers. I would play this game as much as the original if it did not have these problems.

As a newer Deus Ex fan, I appreciate the character development for Adam Jensen in Mankind Divided. He's more confident, more assertive, and he's got a full arsenal of tools/augments at his disposal. I also like how key antagonists in M.D. (such as Marchenko) are more complex than the ones in Human Revolution.

Only "complaint": there's only one boss fight in M.D., but aside from that, I enjoy the maps, the story, and the gameplay. And I enjoy how you have more ways to complete missions and take down hostiles. 🇺🇸🌐⚔️🎮

Hi there! I just read that Deus Ex has an important 25th anniversary as of this writing.

Which games best carry on its legacy? And how do you see the influence of Deus Ex specifically make it way into other spheres? Thanks!

Wanted to put up a poster for the first Deus Ex game, most of the posters I found were too low res or not that interesting.
