Ripten reports: "Gametap has added Dues Ex to their list of free games, which now stands at 125 titles. If you happened to miss it the first time around in 2001, then this is the perfect opportunity for you to check it out now.
The download comes in at a very slim 151MB and is rated M (for Mature) so it's not one for the kids."
Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."
One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.
Some games endure despite the average player wishing they could skip that first hour - here are five annoying video game openings in otherwise classic titles.
I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …
First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …
Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.
I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.
Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.
@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D
A talented modder is creating an HD iteration of the classic Dues Ex (2000) experience in Unreal Engine 5. A new video reveals more details.
Cease and Desist DMCA imminent. All these fan projects get killed because they can't wait to show it off before it's complete.
Finish the mod/game then show it off and release it. If you announce it early then it can get taken down.
Fan-dilly-tastic game!
WTF!? Free?!
Now if anyone who hasn't bought the game in the past doesn't ge it, I'm gonna sue them!
But seriously, now people won't have any excuse for not having played this masterpiece, name THE best PC game of all time by PC Gamer or some other respect PC gaming mag. (My personal choice is StarCraft or Fallout 2 but Deus Ex is as excellent as those classics)
But I already have it for PS2. A FPS mixed with an RPG never felt so good.
Played it since it came out, really good game.
If Gametap supported 64 bit Windows.
