I first played deus ex 1 half way through last year. And I basically spent the rest of the year playing just deus ex 1. I have played through the game like 8 times now. I need help. I have an addiction.
I’m liking this new format a lot. That said, your personal perspective on things, and the emotions attached to that, is why I love your videos so much. Please don’t feel obligated to avoid them.
See that's part of why I'm doing this new series, so that when I make my normal videos every other week, I don't have to feel bad for straying away from the topic of video games. I absolutely *love* getting more personal, but I know a lot of my subs aren't here for that side of the channel
@@Leadhead is there a reason for you to think that? im also here because of how you talk about your emotional attachments to a game as it helps sort of relive/compare and contrast my own feelings about said game.... any old shmuck could do the "describe the game and its components" side of things
@@vafflin851 it's all in the numbers, look how many views something like my moving out video has compared to my recent half life video, which was particularly shallow by my standards. I still like to do both types of video, but I need a better balance, so that I don't keep messing up my momentum by making 4 emotional, hyper personal vids on a row
Hearing the UNATCO theme immediately puts me at ease. The game feels like coming home after a long day, it's just so comforting to me. It is very flawed, but it will always be perfect to me.
Years ago, I was screwing around in Deus Ex. I decided to mess with Walton Simons' interrogation of the NSF prisoners. I followed him into the room and threw a mine into the cell. What followed was a hilarious symphony of emergent gameplay. The prisoners' AI saw a mine and ran to the cell door to escape. The door's AI saw NPCs that wanted to pass, so it opened. The hallway guard's AI saw enemy NPCs, so he shot them to death. Then Simons turned to me and said: "Jesus Christ, Denton!"
pretty much. half life, mirrors edge, dishonored, deus EX, prey, and soon system shock 2 as well. ive been very slow to play the classics and this channel finally kicked me in the pants hard enough to play them.
Am not native speak, so sorry if I'm not making myself understood, but... I think Deus Ex has it's mystery. I do not know 'bout others but when I was playing it I didn't notice when and how I got goddamn huge interest about what do I see on the screen. I have been IMMERSED! I wanted to check every possible corner of these masterpiecefully designed locations. I felt myself like I was solving problems instead of just runnin' through the plot by clicking buttons on keyboard. So many times I've frowned by thinking how to enter the building, how to bypass guards (was playn' unlethally), or what to say to the character. Newspapers, books, articles from public access-terminals are fantastically written. I was spending 3-5 hours on every mission. When you give creative freedom and enough resources to talented crew with ideas and will to create something good... a brilliant borns. Not everytime, but Deus ex this "time"
Deus Ex is my favorite PC game of all time. Even though I first played it over a decade after it came out, I'll never forget how magical the experience of that first playthrough was.
Well, just the head. The problem comes with actually managing to hit it. Which as i can see, a lot of people struggle with, ending up calling the crossbow useless
The biggest thing that makes this game special is that it's like a literal TV series, with multiple seasons, and you play through each episode. It's not just a one-off experience like a movie, like how they seem to structure games nowadays. The story evolves and evolves again, and again, and relationships get more personal. The people you interact with seem like real people, with the exception of a few cheesy accents. All the other aspects of the game, although revolutionary at the time, have in most cases been largely improved apon and are a bit silly to go on about as some sort of special feature, except for the music which is phenomenal. The level design is another huge aspect too. Sewers and underground dwellings, secret labs, night clubs, offices, it's all very interesting and cleverly interconnected. The story, although excellent in hindsight, is a bit heavy and it isn't required that you understand half of it to enjoy the game. The gameplay is pretty ruthless but ultimately it serves to add weight and moments of relief/reward that would otherwise be lacking in a run out a kill everything (and be awesome) kind of game. I think the gaming industry made a BIG mistake not making a seroor study of this game and using it to help make better games. The problem is that it's not popular enough because most people judge it on face value for what they hope/expect it to be without giving it a chance to see how good it ultimately is.
Finished my first run a few weeks ago, one of the best experiences in gaming, even after 20 years it's still deserving of the title "Best PC games of all time."
I really like this new video idea I think. It adds more overall variety to the channel, while being somewhat less emotionally and mentally laborious for you to produce. And this was indeed a great start to the series too, I didn't realise just how intricate and clever this game could get! Great work. :D
I have a theory that the Tranq Darts were supposed to be Poison Darts and late into development they realized they didn’t have enough “non-lethal” methods.
2:55 The Spy Drone aug is mainly for use as an awesome airborne guided EMP grenade to take out even the largest of military bots. It's a weapon. I hardly ever used it for mere reconnaissance.
I love that you’re doing this, there’s a lot of games that you talk about that I skip the video for because I haven’t played/don’t want spoiled, so these videos really help me curate my tastes!
The coolest thing about games like DX2000 is that they are made like those movies from the 80s and 90s. Everything looks so simple, but so cinematic, from which the immersion only intensifies.
i played this game a long time ago, remember it being a good experience. biggest thing holding me back is how many controls there are. since i do prefer playing on controller when possible. for people who can enjoy things despite the outdated graphics. i'd definitely recommend this experience.
"Only" one of the greatest. But it is certainly the most realistic game every made when it comes to predict the course of history (the towers, the taxes rate, the pandemic, etc...).
Deus Ex is the greatest game I have ever played... I play through it every couple of years. I will add that the "Revision Mod" on Steam made me feel like I was playing through my favorite game for the first time all over again.
This was a game club choice for a Discord server I'm in back in February. I decided to finally dive in, and just wanted to find some spoiler free info about the game. You've entirely sold me over what I already was!
I'd say Ross Scott from Accursed Farms has THE BEST breakdown on what you deem "Not Smart Enough to say" as a Deus Ex review imo. He really digs into the political and social points and parallels to the real world masterfully, check it out sometime.
Fun fact: this game was developed by the same team behind Daikatana, Ion Storm. This is actually *the* game they made after that trainwreck, and after John Romero left.
I usually stop going completely non-lethal after being taken to the first MJ12 facility. The game doesn't seem to care much for non-lethal takedowns after that.
@@superplayerex2431 that also makes sense morally. Unatco troops dunno what are they doing. No idea of what's happening. Just that the most advanced agents turned to terrorism. Meanwhile MJ12 run experiments on innocent people like Dowd for example.
Hey Lead! I picked up Prey because of some of your videos and I just started playing it, and I wanted to say that you are easily one of my favorite entertainers on the platform keep it up
Deus Ex was an incredible game. One thing I still remember nearly a quarter century later is how in my efforts to see it all, I had killed an NPC and moved on, only to later have someone ask me to refrain from killing his staff in the future. This was at a time where consequences for your actions just wasn't really a thing in games, even today it's not so much a thing aside from locking out quests. Also the speech about how the wealthy are fighting a class war partly through regressive taxes (eg, you pay a higher rate than any billiionaire has) was an unexpected truthbomb.
Thank fo the video - Its a great idea for a series, also always looking for good games... hopefully I can find some good ones I havent played. I actually played pray because of your video and had a blast!!! good luck
I'm always figuring out new ways to play this. On my most recent run, when I came across the hostage situation in the subway station, I snuck around the back of the room using the vents, snuck up, stole the explosive crates by the hostages, and stashed them in the vent I came from (specifically, in a junction because there was no room otherwise). From there, I shot the remaining crates, killing a few NSF, and the remaining gunfight felt like it was equal parts John Wick and Benny Hill.
Deus Ex has one of the best crafted stories of any game ever developed. The world-building is excellent with an absolutely brilliant plot. Terrifying, but brilliant how its themes link and age better by the day to real world events.
Deuxs Ex has always been that game in my steam library that I played the tutorial of, stopped my session somewhere in the tutorial, and never ended up playing more. Definitely going to be put back on my radar of ever growing must-plays. I really love the idea of this series because so many times i'll want to watch a video but will be nervous about spoilers, excited to be introduced into more games spoiler free this way. Also have you ever heard of The Travelers Online? The community is really small and I've always thought it was underrated. If you'd be interested in an obscure post apocalyptic html game it might be your style
3:57 This shit is why I had to switch to full murderbot in my playthrough, and why I hold the stealth/non-lethal playstyle with high regard in Invisible War. Those mechanics are actually competent in the sequel. Police baton and Boltcaster damage can be massively improved with damage/strength mods, and with a headshot. Being able to hide in the shadows is a good bonus.
Even though I'm already a fan of the game, this is a great video. But just saying I would very much enjoy a longer length more in-depth video about your personal feeling on Deus Ex. Honestly I feel like there aren't enough of those videos for this game, I'll always watch a new one.
One thing I really love and respect about the first game is that it isn't some partisan hack take on politics. There are characters from many different parts of the political spectrum, some who are clearly more unethical than others, but all of them have valid reasons for thinking the way they do. The game lets you make up your own opinions from each exchange of dialogue rather than spoon-feeding the player.
The video "Unatco" that has Delay Lama singing this game's soundtrack is what made me start playing it not so long ago and the menu music made me stay.
I love that kind of unique experience everyone is having with this game. I am playing the game now and I’m at the beginning. Terrorists occupying metro station. My solution: - get into a shaft - sneak from behind and place gas grenade on a wall - get back and throw a garbage bag to draw attention - grenade explodes, terrorists stunned - pun on hazmat suit - stun them all with a baton Felt like a ninja and I believe hardly anyone had the same experience as I had.
At th start of the pandemic, a friend of mine bought the game for me so I wouldn't go crazy during quarantine. It has been one of my favorite games ever since, crazy to think that was a year ago!
Yo, try The Nameless Mod. I evangelize this total conversion because it's professionally voice acted, lots of replayability, and has fully realized level design that closely follows DX1, and then augments it with new twists.
Well here I am pretty much year later probably like a 50th person mentioning it, but if you headshot with poison darts, it will knock regular soldiers right away. Either way, love that there are still folks recommending this absolute master piece.
II always take the GEP gun. Sometimes you've gotta make a silent takedown. PROTIP: Swimming is an invaluable skill. Also, a tip: you can go through *all* of this game non-lethally. Yes, even the code word kills.
characters, ambience, scenario, conspiracy theories and amazing music. Some of the elements that make this game legendary. Also, the predictions about the future, Gray Death = Corona Virus, illuminati, one world state, the rise of AI, The possibility that the real terrorist is actually the state itself. And the remarkable words said by some NSF terrorists, such as the words of the NSF leader on Liberty Island and the words of the terrorists in the interrogation room, were quite remarkable.. etcetera etcetera, that make this game different from others.
There are two ways to design a game like this. Option A: Design combat, and then side activities. Option B: Design tools, and design obstacles. Deus Ex is B. And I love it for that fact. I positively adore the utility items in this game. The armours, the grenades, the lockpicks, the multitools, the icebreaker and so on. The LAM is a HE grenade, it is also a mine, and also a breaching charge. When I replay the game I will lean even harder into demolitions and environmental training. And try to use the riot prod more, fantastic little weapon. Perhaps I can figure out the crossbow as well. Nifty little thing.
I am eagerly, EAGERLY waiting for the day that you do a video on Pathologic and it’s sequel. It’s trafficking in so many intriguing and literary ideas that I think your take on it would be interesting.
Every time someone mentions Deus Ex, a new playthrough happens
I finished it like maybe 2 times but i cant tell you hom many times i booted up that game just to try something new on the first few misions.
Well it's been a couple years, the time has probably come again.
I first played deus ex 1 half way through last year. And I basically spent the rest of the year playing just deus ex 1. I have played through the game like 8 times now. I need help. I have an addiction.

Yea right
@@cutehunter9659 Elon musk literally just commented this today
always has been, the veil we’ve had over our eyes has just been lifted

The thief series is that for me (yes even thief DS).
Aren't you the guy I see on the Deus Ex soundtrack vids?

Im super excited to play though this!
All hail the mighty cyber algorithm that decides what we view! I am SO engaged in this channel!
seems like an obscure little gem, ill have to check it out some time
I've had Deus Ex in the back of my mind for literally a decade, this video is what finally got me to buy it on steam.
Deus Ex's original story concept was, what if every conspiracy theory you've ever heard was true
Imma need a leadhead dusk video asap
Holy shite, I've been trying to look for a game like this for a while now! I've gotta play this soon, this game looks like it kicks ass
Keep up the good videos man, whatever you’re method is keep at it as long as it’s not hurting you
I respect the hell out of you for admitting you don't know enough about politics to effectively talk about this game. Keep it up man
OH thank goodness the video came back up. Tried to watch it last night
I've played Deus Ex for the first time just a month ago. It truly is an amazing game, it definitely deserves more recognition these days.
I remember playing it and Half Life back to back.
The world of gaming was changed forever.
Almost 28 years of age. Played so many great video games.

Yeah, Daikatana was made by the Dallas team, Deus Ex was made in Austin.
Well, I stand corrected then! Good to know!
a big problem with when I first played deus ex is that I tried too hard to non lethal, I'll probably try to play again and not lock myself down
would you consider hacking turrets to fire on its allies considered breaking the non lethal rule book?
I usually stop going completely non-lethal after being taken to the first MJ12 facility. The game doesn't seem to care much for non-lethal takedowns after that.
I stopped after getting the dragon tooth sword, because it's a cool ass nano sword and its blasphemous to not use it.
@@superplayerex2431 that also makes sense morally. Unatco troops dunno what are they doing. No idea of what's happening. Just that the most advanced agents turned to terrorism. Meanwhile MJ12 run experiments on innocent people like Dowd for example.

- get into a shaft
- sneak from behind and place gas grenade on a wall

- grenade explodes, terrorists stunned
- pun on hazmat suit
- stun them all with a baton
Felt like a ninja and I believe hardly anyone had the same experience as I had.
At th start of the pandemic, a friend of mine bought the game for me so I wouldn't go crazy during quarantine. It has been one of my favorite games ever since, crazy to think that was a year ago!
I have close to three hundred hours on this game. One of my all time faves.
I never even heard of this game... Might as well try it out! Thanks for recommending this!

Me: What a shame.
Maybe you should try getting a job
@@felipeterranova2452 They could've made this comment in their spare time though.

I'm into it, this is a good format
You explained it good, this game is unique
this is a very pleasant video, thank you for this experience.
no better feeling then finding out theres a new leadhead upload you missed
This game with a from the ground up remake similar to the recent Resident Evil ones would be awesome
Real conspiracies. And they mean it.
I love your videos man, never stop doing what you do!
Well that's exactly what I'm gonna do now. Thanks leadhead
Just finished the game fucking loved it
Yo, try The Nameless Mod. I evangelize this total conversion because it's professionally voice acted, lots of replayability, and has fully realized level design that closely follows DX1, and then augments it with new twists.
Well here I am pretty much year later probably like a 50th person mentioning it, but if you headshot with poison darts, it will knock regular soldiers right away. Either way, love that there are still folks recommending this absolute master piece.
Thanks for the wisdom on ``less lethal weapons aka tranq + peppa´´!
II always take the GEP gun. Sometimes you've gotta make a silent takedown.
PROTIP: Swimming is an invaluable skill.
Also, a tip: you can go through *all* of this game non-lethally. Yes, even the code word kills.
ahhh perfect timing. im in the middle of my playthrough!
characters, ambience, scenario, conspiracy theories and amazing music. Some of the elements that make this game legendary. Also, the predictions about the future, Gray Death = Corona Virus, illuminati, one world state, the rise of AI, The possibility that the real terrorist is actually the state itself. And the remarkable words said by some NSF terrorists, such as the words of the NSF leader on Liberty Island and the words of the terrorists in the interrogation room, were quite remarkable.. etcetera etcetera, that make this game different from others.
There are two ways to design a game like this.
Option A: Design combat, and then side activities.
Option B: Design tools, and design obstacles.
Deus Ex is B. And I love it for that fact. I positively adore the utility items in this game. The armours, the grenades, the lockpicks, the multitools, the icebreaker and so on.
The LAM is a HE grenade, it is also a mine, and also a breaching charge.
When I replay the game I will lean even harder into demolitions and environmental training. And try to use the riot prod more, fantastic little weapon.
Perhaps I can figure out the crossbow as well. Nifty little thing.
That vand den burg level keypad.. infinite xp
I am eagerly, EAGERLY waiting for the day that you do a video on Pathologic and it’s sequel.
It’s trafficking in so many intriguing and literary ideas that I think your take on it would be interesting.
