Stealth is so fucking hard in this game

How so? I think lighting has an effect on how visible you are.

Been playing through this again, never finished it back when I was a teen (on my PS2 lmao) and I feel now is a better time to appreciate it, currently running around NYC before Hong Kong, I think that was where I stopped playing last time.

One odd thing that happened when I was playing was that when Paul joins the NSF and you go back to UNATCO, the music didn't play correctly. It felt like a channel was missing and it sounded really cool, wish I could replicate it but it sounded a lot different and I'm still not sure if it was on purpose or a glitch.

I'm surprised the game doesn't have any rewards for being non-lethal. I was using the crossbow and baton during the first mission but just stopped when I found out there's no real reason to do it even though I feel Denton would. Once I found the silencer for my Glock it's all I've been using.

Carter gives you some shit in the beginning for being a good boy, but yeah other than that the whole design is really meant to be completing objectives in whatever way you feel like.

>zoomers getting filtered

Just appreciate the music of the game

Take the loud and lethal pill.

Did you play GMDX, or Revision?

it's not, it's literally the same as mgs with a different camera, same range of detection, everything.

your brain is incapable of adapting? thanks for telling us, you're like people who start to play a multiplayer shooter all their friends are playing, got rekt, and then go on here saying it's bad to everyone out of frustration while their friends have fun without them

Nah like every other stealth-like game from that era it's incredibly easy to exploit the enemy AI because it's so basic. Once you figure it out stealth becomes a joke.

the only time i went lethal was to protect paul in the hotel room, after that i went non-lethal except for the guys in the suits who put up both their arms and shoot at you, I wanted to get to the end and free as many people as possible from the grasp of assholes, although I saved and picked all three endings, I prefer the computer one

Yeah but it's not really necessary. The game is too easy for you to want to do stealth run anyway. If being outnumbered would get you fucked up, maybe then there was a reason to try to sneak around.

Nah.

Remember when back in 2011, people were so starved for non-shit first person games, they tricked themselves into thinking HR was a return to form for Deus Ex? Shit, IW is more faithful to the original than HR, despite all it's flaws.

I played it for the first time last month and I loved it

If you use the Shifter mod (included with Revision), you are rewarded for going non-lethal (a better baton) or full lethal (explosive pistol ammo).

You think HR is bad? Well, it could be far worse: Project Snowblind was supposed to be Deus Ex 3.

What's the ideal way of playing this game? Do I install the Revision mod or the Nameless mod or GDMX? How much does revision change the game?

GMDX is a tasteful subtle improvement, play that first. Revision brings greater changes, play that second to see what they've changed. Nameless mod is *completely* different with new plot, levels, and characters.

I hate that stealth needs you to hit a specific spot

no, kys

stop larping zoomer

the 2010s were a truly dark times for video games so anything that was even remotely close to an actual good game was a breath of fresh air back then

The only thing that's dated about Deus Ex is how conspiracy is structured. We now see that MGS 2 was right and that everything is controlled simulation. Deus Ex seems naively optimistic in retrospect. In reality, UNATCO already won and is just creating Ambrosia narrative and the revolutionaries as a pleb filter / distraction fodder.

the actual gameplay is shit, what makes it fun is the amount of options available to the player

The AI is braindead, use it to your advantage
