In other news some person has pulled off a speedrun. It's hilarious how much stuff they skip over.

Perhaps in Hong Kong, there could be an arms dealer in the canal, as I found that the canal doesn't have much use in Deus Ex. How many times have you played DX? There are 2 sellers in that level, plus items gained through exploration. The canal level is really meant to slow the game down, much like...

The most important underlying point of the videos for me was that the given the limitations of any engine, it is the task of the developer to not aim for complete aesthetic similarity to the real world, but rather use the engine to create a visual language that correlates with and highlights the imp...

I thought the issues raised in the 'vivisection' videos were all valid. I think we should be responding constructively to such critiques instead of attacking people's character.

I'm have some free time so I don't mind testing either.

: D

I'm not advocating writing stupid messages in the comments and giving the mod 0/10, although any intelligent person knows not to take user reviews super seriously. Yet they do indicate that something is wrong, and they do stand as a way for players to express dissatisfaction - and I broadly defend t...

They did a shady deal with a big publisher, ended up making their mod steam exclusive, inducing people to buy extra copies of the game, all of the proceeds of which go to Valve and Square Enix. So people should be ashamed of criticising that? The developer was not communicative or transparent and ac...

I appreciate that you're generally pro-developer Jonas but it is still exploitative to induce people into purchasing an additional copy of the game so that they can play a mod. The fact is that nobody buying the game for this reason will be playing the original content, so they are essentially selli...

Squeenix probably approached them and said do a deal with us or we shut the project down. There's really no other explanation for the fact that there's no retail installer. There's no reason why you can't synch retail version patches with Steam patches either. Even if you can install it for the reta...

Steam exclusive means I'm not playing. What an absolute sellout. Hopefully I can get the files from the installer to use for the retail version. I'll bet you they had to sign a NDA with Squeenix too.

Implying I was gonna buy the game anyway, haha.

I know how you feel, I disagreed with someone on the internet once, it was horrible.

I...I...

I do think there is a fair bit of 'history' to be explored in the secession of certain states from the Union, and the 'SoCal disaster' that triggered it. I definitely got a sense of the story being embedded in the history of the various settings, and this definitely makes the story more ripe for ext...
