I remember really enjoying the original, it came along just as I was getting into PC gaming, so was pretty much one of the first purchases I had made for my own PC. Remember having fun throwing crates around once you get the super strength.
Not sure I'd want to play it again.

gotta get on the frog fractions bandwagon. it's my elementary school's fault for not having mario teaches typing T_T
yeah it's hard to say, half life had been released two years before, deus ex looked and played clunky for its time already, but level and game design if well done can be timeless.
kinda like doom really.

c'mon son.
I'm in Switzerland, I know where Austria and Australia are. Thanks for killing my joke.
My Oblivion save(5 hrs.) get a bug, i guess is Realistic leveling mod because the game crush when I level up(yes after 5 hr I'm still level 1) if I disable the mod just don't level up and the bar keep in 100%..
I love RPGs I even replay some of them(3 times The Witcher for example) but I don't want to replay this 5 hrs. , the game have good moments and I have fun sometimes but are big gaps of boring moments.
I feel like obligate to finish it.. I just can't get into the character feel like a doll in a big world
Any advice for the bug? (already google)
Continue?
The game get better?
Is my first Elder Scroll... I start with Obscure Oblivion Overhaul, unofficial patch, realistic leveling and visual mods

I liked Half-Life better than Deus Ex.
I really liked what Deus Ex was trying to do, but it felt clunky and was ugly even at the time. Also I thought that the upgrades strained my immersion. Some of them came off as super goofy.
The black sunglasses, trenchcoats, and monotone delivery didn't help either.
All in all I liked Deus Ex, but do not get why it is so beloved. I honestly enjoyed Deus Ex 3 much more than Deus Ex 1.
I liked System Shock 2 better than Deus Ex as well.

It's ok I laughed, I also read system as 'force.' Such is life.

It is the same until the end. Rinse and repeat for Skyrim. If you are not enjoying it now bail out and play something else.

I wish the "indie" label would die. Whether they're kickstarted or fully marketed by Activision, games are games. I understand why people hate the indie scene, just as I understand why people hate kickstarter, and it comes down to this:
You get a handful of games like Braid or Bastion that were made without a publisher's backing and they're received as creative or brilliant or whatever. Then you get a handful of games that "would never get published under a traditional model" and they get crazy successful kickstarters. So, two points of data right here showing that, somehow, "publishers are bad and they stifle creativity."
But then the indie scene is chock full of puzzle platformers and tower defense, and kickstarter is full ofremakes of homages to games from the 90s. Which, you know, whatever, but then you have the indie fans acting like hipsters and, seriously, get off my lawn.
All of this ignores the independent game developers who have been developing since before the indie "genre" existed, like Wadjet Eye and stuff.
How is this indie?

So... hold on. Umineko, as in Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, or "When the Seagulls Cry"? As in, the visual novel from the people who made Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni ("When the Cicadas Cry")? That was pretty popular in Japan and had its own anime series and stuff?
How is this indie?

It is almost information-free at this point. All it seems to mean anymore is "lower budget"
edit: are people actually acting like hipsters about indie games? I haven't seen this yet.

Oh shit, watch out Glass Rebel 'bout to murk a motherfucker:
Ahahahah. Seriously though ever heard of the Swiss motherfuckin Guard?
don't hate the genre because of hipsters. what difference does it make in your life that some dumbass dude with a bad haircut and thick glasses thinks he's better than you because he likes puzzle platformers?
just play games because they're good games, indie or mainstream, new or old, and live easy.
I mean at least I get it when derrick's mad about dishonored because it's a lost opportunity.
I dunno, it was bundled up with my indie games. it isn't?

I was going to post a picture of my Victorinox 10" Chefs knife because I straight-up love the thing.

How much experience do people have with steam detecting your video drivers?
I've never really used it much, but it says I'm up to date even though I'm fairly certain I'm not.

Indeed. I've said negative things about mechanics in games like Hotline Miami and you would think I've had a go at somebodies mum. It doesn't really worry me at all.
I'd rather people be over positive about games they love than constantly negative about games they hate (but still buy anyway making the complaining completely pointless).
Generally pretty good for AMD.

Imagine having that in your pocket though. You'd be pimp steppin' all over the place.

Ouch son. That hurts.
A friend of mine keeps trying to get me to buy a Korin for whatever reason. Shit is mad expensive though.
Cool. I'll just trust it then.

I can't, my pockets are filled with chocolate, cheese and the best wristwatches in the world.
rofl oh shit
You might have missed it, then, but there was a lot of attitude at least when Braid came out
I don't hate it, it's not even a genre, just a meaningless label.
Is it about some guy named Battler having a battle of wits with a witch named Beatrice?
I dunno haven't played it
My GOD is XCOM buggy. It starts off fine but as you research more tech and unlock deeper mechanics stuff goes to shit and suddenly enemy turns are happening in the middle of your turns and the game pulls down all your satellites and pretends like you just reached the satellite limit. Sometimes it just crashes to desktop too but that's not nearly as confusing.
Those were made by a bunch of guys in their spare time and self-published on PC. Ended up being popular and gotten other companies to port and publish for them on other platforms, but it's not like those publishers tell them what games to make. And they license out their stuff for merchandise, manga, anime, etc. They're still their own boss, rather than someone else telling them what to do. Independent developers can strike it rich, and still be independent - see Mojang/Minecraft.

I feel blessed not to have encountered a single issue in the 9 hours I pumped into it between yesterday and today.
The first one, which came out on 2001.
Nah, I'm dead serious. With the exception of graphics, it doesn't play worse than many modern games. It may not have great shooting mechanics, but it really doesn't need to. I enjoyed it more than any other game I played lately, except Arkham Asylum maybe (please don't make me choose one). It'd totally be my GOTY had it been released this year.
I'm at 14 between yesterday and today, of which maybe two hours were bug-filled pain hours, so it's probably possible to not have encountered anything in nine, sure.
See? Half-Life I played for the first time 3 years ago (I had played some of Blue Shift before, but pretty much hated it), and didn't like it. It's not a bad game, but it felt extremely old and clunky, totally not fun to play.
Deus Ex blew my mind from the very beginning. It's something I felt invested in, I wanted to know what would happen next, and had a fucking great time with it. So yeah, I believe it's timeless indeed.
I suppose that technically makes it "indie." I suppose it technically also makes Valve indie.
I played for 50+ hours and never encountered some of the bugs I hear about. *shrug*

Why couldn't it be Dirt 2 instead of 3???????
Is Dirt 3....bad or something?

wow condemned is pretty creepy! Just beat the first chapter
Maybe it's because there was a give away for Dirt 3 keys so everyone has it already? Dunno, I haven't played either.
what
that's a private address and is specific to an internal network. We each have a different private address. You would need to replace "192.168.2.5" by whatever your private address is.

Derrick,

Disappointed is a word I would use for my reaction to Bioshock 1...if I was writing the clean version without expletives. I have 0 expectations for Infinite and the people who have written their post-game impressions have helped me stay that way.
96/100, 130 press goty awards incoming.
