I was in highschool, and this game actually was the first PC game I ever played. Amazing story, such great gameplay and indepth story. Who else thinks that this is quite possibly one of the best story driven games ever?
Deus Ex
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Jun 22, 2000
A celebrated cyberpunk-themed first-person role-playing game, Deus Ex puts players behind the shades of JC Denton--an operative thrust into a world of byzantine global conspiracies.
This was what got me started....
For me it's the best PC game I have ever played. There are a lot of great PC games, but Deus Ex was the one that has stuck with me the most throughout the years. The sequel wasn't the sequel I hoped for, but it was still a good game in my eyes and I'm happy to hear they're making a third. I am a bit nervous though because of the fact that Warren Spector isn't working on the project :(
I agree totally. I remember playing this game and thinking "wow if i ever made a game, this is what it would be! ". Absolutely awesome.
I remember being amazed by the different paths you could take to achieve you goals.
I also think it had one of the smartest skill / mod systems I've ever seen. Rather than being a stat-based system, each skill or modification actually had an in-game effect. The loader mod made the loading animation faster, the accuracy mod steadied the crosshair as it improved.
I hope Deus Ex 3 moves back toward the first game; the second game was a little too streamlined for me.

me too i didn't like the 2nd game as much i just wasn't as good
"I didnt have a decent pc at the time of its release unfortunately. Always wanted to know what the fuss was about..
Does this game show its age badly? still considering a purchase on steam, not sure if the graphics are to dated for me to enjoy it.
"
unfortunately it does show its age poorly but theres a hd texture mod to reduce the eye pain no offense its a great game its just old
I loved this game. I even liked the sequel.
Deus Ex is still one of the best gameplay-story blends I've ever played. There are better games regarding each component, but Deus Ex really drew me in like few other games have. I still have amazing memories of trying to decide what to do, who to trust.
When I play Deus Ex and stare down my pistol at an enemy, I think "I have a choice whether to kill... their life is in my hands... and my choice may well have consequences for me too." Maybe this was partly thanks to it catching me at the right time, but still, I think it's a sad statement on "shooters" that few others have evoked this. I like my mindless Locust/Ganado/etc. killing as much as the next gamer, but I'd like some thoughtful games, too.

Graphics show age. As does the shooter element of gameplay - bodies sticking out at a right angle to stairs, etc. Of course, if you can put up with this, I think you'll find the RPG element to be just as good as most RPG-shooter hybrids. Better shooter physics are one thing, but I have yet to see anything surpass Deus Ex' skill and augmentation systems for leveling up a character.
