The game has a huge amount of stutters on current hardware. I'm so sick and tired of PC gaming nowadays. You pay money for a product which you don't have the opportunity to enjoy after a few years. This is crazy! Developers, Publishers, stop killing your legacy games and PC gaming industry! STOP KILLING GAMES!

15 years later I still think about this game. Nothing else quite captures the same feeling as Human Revolution. The atmosphere, music and aesthetic are top tier and the gameplay is enough fun for me to replay. One of my favorite games of all time

At this point, I believe everyone already knows this game is undeniably legendary. It builds upon the lore and story of the first one so well and has many easter eggs and references throughout the whole game. Also, Jensen is such a great, mysterious and fleshed out character with a complex and interesting backstory. I loved the gameplay, though I have to say it's a bit too punishing if you want to go full-on …

this game really walked so cyberpunk 2077 could run. runs incredibly well on the steamdeck, i personally love the graphics. there's actually things i think this game does better than most modern video games. the story is engaging, the level design is so much fun to explore, the skill progression feels satisfying, and sneaky gameplay is my favvvv. unique world design and aesthetic, i have literally been playing this …

I would describe it as a shining gem hidden inside a dark cave. This stealth game feels inspired by Metal Gear Solid 4, especially with its stealth system and the smooth transition between first‑person and third‑person perspectives, which is excellent. The story and narrative are rather dark, but they reflect reality and borrow the RPG‑style dialogue system reminiscent of Mass Effect. It’s a great series that has …

60 of 506 · most liked firstMy son works for this company here in the U.K. It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer. Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.
positive · AI labelView post →More serious journalists need to play video games so they can connect the dots between Elon Musk’s obsession with Deus Ex (he keeps a fake gun from the game by his bed), and his obsession with a malevolent AI killing everyone if he doesn’t make it first to placate it.
neutral · AI labelView post →DK Bananza is a superb videogame, damn. Proves my thesis that the Mario team is the true carrier of the Deus Ex torch. The scale, verticality, the THREE DIMENSIONALITY of this game is so far beyond everyone else. I have no idea how their toolkit looks, how they MAKE these things???
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about it, the original Deus Ex may be the king of choice in a game with a story, because your choices are significant, linked to gameplay and unforced. From the very start, for instance, whether you use or avoid lethal force against the “terrorists” determines something about you.

neutral · AI labelView post →With how much hacking, stealth, espionage, and dystopian politics there are in Ghost in the Shell, it stanks that every game based on it is "shoot the bad guys" instead of something similar to Deus Ex Ghost in the Shell im-sim would be a dream come true
neutral · AI labelView post →to put it this way: it's pretty cool to be the person to tell someone about Deus Ex, because it's a really weird and interesting game, but also if you're covering Elon Musk you have to know about Deus Ex, it should not be on me to tell you.
neutral · AI labelView post →Deus Ex turns 26! (Officially tomorrow, I think.) So many memories. Connecting with a huge number of people due to this game development. Eternally grateful.
positive · AI labelView post →Everyone knows Deus Ex is one of the most important games ever, so I'll use its 25th anniversary to highlight another game: CyberMage: Darklight Awakening. It's a 1995 immersive sim led by David Bradley (Wizardry V-VII), Warren Spector & Harvey Smith - a forgotten stepping stone towards Deus Ex!
neutral · AI labelView post →I would also take a pittance of my money, a mere PITTANCE and fully fund a new Deus Ex game every year and give it away for free. Instead of retweeting Ian Miles Cheong sweating I’d be like hey ask me for the new Deus Ex game and I’ll give it to you on Steam, it’s free, please like me

positive · AI labelView post →With every game I play, I keep thinking back to Deus Ex, and the lessons that weren't learned. Deus Ex has no minimap, no objective markers; it drops you into an environment and tells you to find something or someone. Which forces you to engage with the world, and to think, to deduce.
neutral · AI labelView post →Y'all ever play this game Deus Ex Seems pretty great so far Never played it before, not sure many know about it
positive · AI labelView post →Omgawd, Kit and I are just watching the State of Play and seen the Deus Ex Remastered spotlight. It looks awful. ;o; Console players and the game itself deserve so much better. So, going to give the Revision community overhaul another boost - now includes the Lay D Denton mod too.

I want to run Linux and host things like Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Navidrome, maybe Plex (I currently host it off my Mac desktop but would move it to a dedicated server). I know you *can* host Plex et al on something like a Raspberry Pi, but I want a bit more power. I want something that can push at least 2-3 4K streams. I'm considering…

neutral · AI labelView post →Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a game with a vision, just not a very good one. Many parts are subpar but it is greater than the sum. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the video equivalent of a dissociative episode. Nothing fits, everything is an inch to the left, and it makes my teeth itch.
neutral · AI labelView post →Something I'd add is that Spector is one of the best guys ever to hear TALKING about video games. Hearing his lecture about the development of Deus Ex both gave me a greater appreciation for him and for the game (idk why the thumbnail below is from human revolution) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tffX...

Publishers believe 'Deus Ex' is too niche at this point or aren’t willing to take on the financial risk. insider-gaming.com/exclusive-ne...

neutral · AI labelView post →7. Deus Ex - this game more than anything else got me interested in cyberpunk as a genre, just an incredible atmosphere even if its graphics don't hold up at all today 8. SWTOR - the only MMO I've ever played (and I still do), the class stories are a genuinely incredible accomplishment
positive · AI labelView post →Our game is obviously inspired by: - Deus Ex - Fallout New Vegas - Dishonored - Metro
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally played through Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a game I bounced off a couple times over the years. I played a strict no-kill game. I genuinely enjoyed the fantasy of roleplaying an unstoppable cynic who refuses to compromise his principles. The game allows that to be his strength in the story.

neutral · AI labelView post →(Review for Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Directors Cut) This is literally a Wii-U port of Deus Ex: HR with all the paid DLC stitched back into the main game. There is no point in buying this version of the game unless you really want to play TWO extra missions and hack turrets to shoot at the bosses. The original Deus Ex: HR is the definitive version to play because it doesn't have the traversal stutters and broken VFX of the "Director's Cut". Now you don't have to waste 40 hours of your life…

She lost both of her arms as a child, so, as a young child, she was made the face of a company called Open Bionics as they partnered with the makers of the video game *Deus Ex: Human Revolution*, in which people replace perfectly good limbs with mechanical ones, and the social fallout from that.
