Paul Denton isn’t supposed to pass out like that lmfao So usually when you help break him out he leaves the hotel on his own and thanks you Then he shows up in Hong Kong, and assists you as the game goes on
It was a success. This was a PC project, and at the time the game required a decent mid range gaming PC. Back then, although PC's were light years ahead of the consoles, they were still mainly an office / study machine that you did your emails with and possibly a bit of solitaire. Also we don't equate copies sold with quality. If we did, Katy Perry's "ROAR!" would be a masterpiece, while Mozarts Great Mass would be some pulp shit in comparison. Just cos Playstation and XBOX sell millions of copies of Tombraider 27, COD 74 and Battlefield 109 ... doesn't make them "good games".
Yep, I remember this being a thing on the PS2 version too. You had to fight off the guys coming into his apartment + the guys in the lobby then follow some dialog choices in a certain way iirc
it's tied specifically to whether or not you leave via the window, if you leave via the lobby, even if you leave some alive, he will survive. Even if you yourself get clapped he will survive. It sounds like Paul actually died in the fight in Charlatan, but he was showing as unconscious
Yup, it's literally just which door you leave through. Nothing else matters. Bring TNT from the hostage situation, kill everyone in the building, but leave through window: Paul dies. Cloak and run past all the attackers, walk through the front door: Paul lives. You can even just hide in the closet or the secret room and let Paul kill everyone his own damn self, he's still got plot armor.
Can we appreciate that warren spector also co-wrote what is considered one of, if not the best modules for paranoia to date. Also considering in paranoia you're called "troubleshooters" I can only imagine the game he had in mind had very similar concepts.
I literally have just been playign it, for the first time all the way through. It really is fantastic and actually kind of shocking how ahead of it's time it really was. If this came out now it could easily hold it's own as one of the top games of the year without even changing the core game.
thats not pauls body, you were carrying around the unconscious body of JoJo fine. (you knocked him out earlier saving gilbert and sandra renton). If you manage to clear the entire hotel lobby without paul dying he will thank you and tell you to go to the subway while he slips out with smuggler.
16:53 In the sequel (Deus Ex: Invisible War) they confirm that the entire machine was, in fact, fully stocked with lemon-lime. Gunther's conspiracy theory was right. That said, though, in certain emails you can find written by Gunther clearly show he's not very elegant with typing so he may have butter-fingered the lemon-lime button either way. > "Might I sugest agin, a skul-gun for my head."
lol, what are you talking about? That isn't Paul's body that is Jojo Fine. Paul is literally flagged as Invincible in the 'Ton hotel fight & you can win it. The real issue with that sequence is the flag which determines the outcome is based on the exit you use. You have to exit through the front door not the window for Paul to survive. Also, that isn't what a sequence break is, that is just the game not clearing what JC is carrying after loading, hell the game doesn't even clear your inventory until a second after you are placed in jail meaning you can drop everything & pick it up in prison without having to go pick it up from the MJ12 armoury, which is a sequence break. Which Deus Ex is full of, anytime you use a keycode from your own memory instead of finding it, that's a sequence break, the biggest being entering the restricted area of Versalife with the keycode you get from Tracer Tong before you have ever met him. The soundtrack is available with the GOG GOTY version in case anyone wants to find it. Even with these errors I was going to thumbs up the video but you didn't kill Louis Pan so gonna have to hit the thumbs down, what a shame.

I'll always remember 16yr old me doing the mission where you're sneaking round Dentons office, I was going in all the vents trying different ways not to get seen, going in every room including the ladies' toilets, looking for different paths, and finally doing it without raising the alarm. Then speaking with his superior and him telling me to "stop sneaking round the ladies' toilets"🤣 lol my mind was blown how does he know, that's just one of many things they really did think of everything amazing game deserves every bit of praise heaped on it. As do your videos keep up the great work
Sometimes it happens - Spec Ops: The Line for example. And while being a genuine piece of art, it didn't sell well, so I don't think it'll happen any time soon
The crossbow is great for a non lethal playthrough. You just have to be more patient early game when your skills are much lower. I've done so many non lethal playthroughs where I found d the crossbow pretty useful.
Deus Ex is still one of my favourite games to this day, it holds up unlike a lot of shit nowadays. Of course, engine limitations did span a lot of creativity back in the day, but I'm sure we'll see some aspects of the gaming industry make it back to what it was, and even more so.
One the greatest games of all time! I've put hundreds of hours into it and yet I've never regretted a single second. It's been installed on everyone of my systems since release, and always will. Just an absolute masterpiece!
It's interesting, that the cyberpunk genre very rarely shows up in all the different medias, and pretty much always destroys everything else. Take Deus Ex, Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner.
If I remember properly it is possible without Paul being unconscious to rescue him, try like I did saving as many of the mine/grenades as possible, plant them across the hallway outside the door at a guesstimated six feet apart, make sure to also put obstacles in Paul's way, things like chairs and potted plants, after the initial assault throw all remaining down the stairs and do as you typically do on your current run, like if you're trained in rifles go guns blazing into the last few soldiers left, once it's over talk to Paul :3
That was not Paul lol, but yeah fighting and killing all the mib in the hotel doesn't help you save Paul, best thing to do if I remember correctly was to choose the option to stay and fight but then immediately leave through the bedroom window
Started playing this again a couple of weeks ago. Calling this one of the best games ever really isn't an exaggeration, but it's kind of like calling Psycho one of the best films ever. If you watch it now so many parts will seem familiar to you because so many other movies were inspired by it. Deus Ex is the same. The story, dialogue, level design, quest progression, skill system and the style, and the way it handles player choice have been used in so many other later things. None of the have quite managed to do it justice though. In truth Deus Ex didn't invent most of those things, it's just the first example I can think of that put them all together so well.
Oooh boy, first the Deus Ex vid, and now the info that you're going to make a video about E.Y.E. - I friggin loved that game! Take care Charl and thank you for awesome vids!
Played it when it first came out, when PC gaming was more niche than it is now. Was an amazing experience, I had a non-gamer friend used to come over mine & we'd play through it like a movie, with him making all the decisions, he loved it. Really cool experience.
... That's not Paul :D having said that the bug i encountered was, fight through the 'Ton with Paul and clear it, but obviously i don't want to leave via the main entrance as that would be suicide without a stealth aug or camo vest, so i head back up and out Pauls apartment window, except that flips the trigger that makes the game think I abandoned Paul so he's now considered dead :D back to the save file :D
The way I got rid of Chow was to get to the top of the hotel by hacking an elevator, shooting with the pistol once to break the skylight, and shooting a second time to deliver a headshot. I didn't even talk to her.
You actually can save Paul. The firefight is a bit bugged, so he might die sometimes, but if you defeat all the enemies he runs away and appears later on.
Nah. If anything that's a huge compliment because the PC has tonnes of great genre defining titles. Deus ex and system shock 2 are so influential that to this day many games including console exclusive AAA titles use RPG mechanics. Of course they don't do it right most of the time
I was not that bummed about the third of the sequels getting canned. I consider them OK games, but not good Deus Ex games. Way too safe in their themes, bit too absurd in some of their stylistic choices, the second one got ravaged by corporates. If they were called, better "Mass Effect" though... Also, still better than abomination "Invisible War" was.

Up until recently that port was the only way for me to play it and i never felt I missed out on anything. From the moment I first played it I was hooked. The game is a masterpiece.

I was shocked while watching this about halfway through when I realized I'm learning new shit about this game! Impressive stuff, and much appreciated that you put in the work to make this vid it's own thing to stand out!
If you kill all the bad guys without letting Paul off of your fov he'll get to the entrance of the building, say goodbye to you and go away This doesn't appear to change anything else though
The original was arguably the most immersive. No bs. No tailoring to cod fanboys or anything. It’s like half-life. Timeless. From the sneaking to going full guns blaze it. It had the perfect style and blend of the two. The areas you go we’re both open and enclosed rewarding both types of gameplay. The original actual made you think about where you’re spending your points on levels and such. What weapons you’ll take. How you solve this puzzle or that puzzle. It was a very strategic and difficult game on the higher levels, but rewarding.
Last I checked the J.C. actually stands for Jesus Christ as Denton was the name of one of the friends of a dev and whenever he would do something odd the dev would say 'Jesus Christ, Denton' and thats how his name came about.
I am just doing another playthrough. I tazed Sandra Renton cause she was pissing me off, and it was written she is unconscious. Next I talk to Vinny the soldier in the bar before the shipyard level and... He says she is dead😆 I guess I broke DX 😁
good review, but you missed a few things like: - guards seeing you through walls - guards instantly knowing where you from 50 miles away because you peaked out of cover for 0.0001 seconds - guards instntly knowing where you are for no fucking reason at all - inconsistant damage - the fact that some lasers will be activated if a crate blocks them while others won't - camera alert sounds not playing causing me to be detected - sometimes the game crashes and deletes all your saves - the weapons feel like shit and and stealth is incredibly simplistic and buggy - skills vary in usefulness widely, this is emphasized by the scarcity of exp wich means that only a few skills are usefull (those being locpick, electronics, rifle, pistol, heavy weapons, and computer, medicine and meele at level1 but not above that so only 2/3 of skills are worth picking)
I played this game when I was like seven years old and it was actually a demo that I thought was the whole game then when I became an adult I refound this game on steam and bought it to relive playing the greatest game I ever played as a child and found out that there was a ridiculous amount more of the game. It is the greatest game ever made.
let be honest, it was a master piece of the era but it didn't really aged that gracefully apart from the story who's like fine wine. it was already an acquired taste back then, and it's perk system was more likely to screw you than allow different style playthrough. would most defenetly deserve a remake ala Black Mesa, keeping the spirit and the best part of it but improving both the visuals and the gameplay to more refined standards.
Consoles, casuals, and the publishers following the money caused a major halt in game design. It's been getting dumbed down and over simplified since around 2003.
I remember someone saying that they had only just played Red Dead Redemption 2, and that now no game would ever live up to it. I told them that I was envious if that was the best game they had ever played, since I had played the original Deus Ex when I was a kid, and still hadn't found something that was anywhere as good. Needless to say, that person was very unhappy that I had the gall to say that a game that released in the year 2000, could be better than a game that came out in 2018 with a budget that's probably ten times higher. I know it's kind of like comparing apples and oranges, but I'm serious when I say that Deus Ex is the best game I've ever played. It's not my favourite game of all time, but it's definitely the best game of all time.

Was that a Llamas with hats reference?
I’m really curious actually why this game is as acclaimed as it is. I’ve familiar with the sequels, but this one I just happen to know nothing of.
The original was arguably the most immersive. No bs. No tailoring to cod fanboys or anything. It’s like half-life. Timeless. From the sneaking to going full guns blaze it. It had the perfect style and blend of the two. The areas you go we’re both open and enclosed rewarding both types of gameplay. The original actual made you think about where you’re spending your points on levels and such. What weapons you’ll take. How you solve this puzzle or that puzzle. It was a very strategic and difficult game on the higher levels, but rewarding.
Untill you play it, you'll never know.
Last I checked the J.C. actually stands for Jesus Christ as Denton was the name of one of the friends of a dev and whenever he would do something odd the dev would say 'Jesus Christ, Denton' and thats how his name came about.
I am just doing another playthrough. I tazed Sandra Renton cause she was pissing me off, and it was written she is unconscious. Next I talk to Vinny the soldier in the bar before the shipyard level and... He says she is dead😆 I guess I broke DX 😁
good review, but you missed a few things like: - guards seeing you through walls
- guards instantly knowing where you from 50 miles away because you peaked out of cover for 0.0001 seconds
- guards instntly knowing where you are for no fucking reason at all
- inconsistant damage
- the fact that some lasers will be activated if a crate blocks them while others won't
- camera alert sounds not playing causing me to be detected
- sometimes the game crashes and deletes all your saves
- the weapons feel like shit and and stealth is incredibly simplistic and buggy
- skills vary in usefulness widely, this is emphasized by the scarcity of exp wich means that only a few skills are usefull (those being locpick,
electronics, rifle, pistol, heavy weapons, and computer, medicine and meele at level1 but not above that so only 2/3 of skills are worth picking)
Dude the Paul scene I fought all them mib and got to bottom lobby but never seen him dead that's news but I did get to the holding cell.
TIL Charlton Wonder is late-era John Lenon
Amazing Llamas With Hats reference, subtle, 10/10. All it needs is a ridiculous amount of baby hands.
this thumbnail is so fucking good, man
Im sitting at the steam page right now. Your video will decide if I buy the bundle pack.
I played this game when I was like seven years old and it was actually a demo that I thought was the whole game then when I became an adult I refound this game on steam and bought it to relive playing the greatest game I ever played as a child and found out that there was a ridiculous amount more of the game. It is the greatest game ever made.
I've never gotten the chance to play deus ex, and from the videos I saw, I missed some good shit.
i just got this game and this pops up
let be honest, it was a master piece of the era but it didn't really aged that gracefully apart from the story who's like fine wine.
it was already an acquired taste back then, and it's perk system was more likely to screw you than allow different style playthrough.
would most defenetly deserve a remake ala Black Mesa, keeping the spirit and the best part of it but improving both the visuals and the gameplay to more refined standards.
Man OG Deus Ex was... IS such a good game,
The modern DXs are ok, more like DX lite. Like Bioshock to System Shock, fun but shallow
Consoles, casuals, and the publishers following the money caused a major halt in game design. It's been getting dumbed down and over simplified since around 2003.
@@abstr4cted496 unfortunately you can't blame them, that's why i've almost entirely migrated to indie games :)
This game really should be used for inspiraton by other studios. Just looks how much it accomplishes!
I remember someone saying that they had only just played Red Dead Redemption 2, and that now no game would ever live up to it.
I told them that I was envious if that was the best game they had ever played, since I had played the original Deus Ex when I was a kid, and still hadn't found something that was anywhere as good.
Needless to say, that person was very unhappy that I had the gall to say that a game that released in the year 2000, could be better than a game that came out in 2018 with a budget that's probably ten times higher.
I know it's kind of like comparing apples and oranges, but I'm serious when I say that Deus Ex is the best game I've ever played. It's not my favourite game of all time, but it's definitely the best game of all time.
