#Deus ex vs system shock 2 Pc#

By the end of the game, you're actually overwhelmed by a deep sense of nostalgia as you encounter every single important NPC from the original game and find out what they've been up to the last 20 years, which almost redeems the game's many flaws until you get to the endings. About halfway through it stops sucking and starts being more like Deus Ex 1, and you can almost forgive it for being Xboxified.

It's a mediocre sequel to one of the best PC FPS's of all time. You run around shooting Karkians and those little green bastards, enter a few keypad codes or press some buttons, run upstairs and read how you're responsible for one of three (in my case) endings.ДX:IW channels the original WRT short, unsatisfying multiple endings. No final boss or, for that matter, anything halfway challenging. In the case of Deus Ex, though, the endings sucked ass. Spoiler in case there's one more person that hasn't finished Deus Ex. I'm not quite sure what my point is, but there ya go. In addition, the times that I played both games were under less than God-box conditions and forced me to make certain graphical compromises that no longer apply.ДЄs such, much like someone hearing Hendrix for the first time twenty years later, I was able to appreciate the art far removed from the initial prejudices and any unwarranted praise. Baldur's Gate II took me 300+ hours due to going back and choosing a different route during branches in the game. I'm the kind of guy that has to explore everything. With Deus Ex, it lost my attention around Hong Kong (admittedly, certain substances injested during that chapter of my life had temporarily decreased my attention span) and I was intimidated by all the canals that I would have to explore and the limited air with which I had to explore them. Just recently has my life settled enough for me to invest the time and attention this game deserved. In the case of System Shock 2, I was initally playing it under certain conditions in 2000 that ended before I finished the game. I finally finished each of these classics.
