Hafe-life 2 Vs Deus Ex 2

[MAZA-51]

Do you think that HALF-LIFE 2 will be better than DEUS EX 2, an give reason why?

They are both BIG populer games.

 

[Shuzer]

..one's a FPS RPG, the other's a FPS, you can't really compare them.

However, on the sequel side of things, I'm thinking HL2 will be a much better sequel than DX2 was

 

[Cutey_Kaite]

Half life 2 will own Deus Ex 2 just for the fact that it has a better mod community and because of story,better physics, and MUCH better AI. Deus Ex was a joke

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

HL2, very little contest in my opinion.

(I was horrified by DX2. They ruined my number two game of all time!)

 

[Cutey_Kaite]

Take DX2 as an example of what happens when you release a game that is unfinished, DX2 is what HL2 could have been if they released it at sep 30th

 

[Neutrino]

DX2 was horrible in my opinion. No comparison really.

 

[jimbones]

total 0wnage on HL2's side since it will scale down to weaker systems as DX2 was just a CPU-power-whore..

 

[jimbones]

and don't get me started on the rest..

 

[Sprafa]

Whe don't know.
That the point.
DX2 was expected to be a great game and IS blew it. Valve could do the same thing to HL2.

We can't be sure until it comes out.

I've been playing through DX², and although I've reconciled myself to the bizarre ammo system, the circular interface and the spartan inventory, I find it dissappointing on number of levels. The story is interesting enough, but the levels are fairly pedestrian both in size, appearance and atmosphere. I can't help but recall the Hong Kong levels of the original and feel that DX² just doesn't match upto them in any shape or form.

Also I hate the fact that aside from patrolling, none of the NPCs seem to do anything aside from stand around waiting for you to either shoot them or talk to them. Somehow it just seems a bit pointless to model up toilets in all of the apartments and buildings in the game for the sake of realism, when a sense of realism clearly hasn't been applied to the NPCs.

 

[Sprafa]

And the fact no organization gets pissed and stops messaging sucks.
Even in KOTOR when you piss ppl off they stop talking/selling to you.

 

[Sui]

errr.... for the answer all u have to do is look in the "what have u ppl been smoking" thread. it is obvios that although my hardest efforts as a deus ex fan, i have failed to convince even the breadcrumbs on my table deus ex IW isnt a "pile of shit".
its impossible- every1 i talk to either hates it or loathes it...

 

[Dedalus]

hey! i'm the biggest Deus Ex fan out there!! it's my second favourite game of all time. first fave being Civilzation, second being Deus Ex, third being Half-Life. but the fact of the matter is that you haven't played DX:IW so you're not in the same position, as someone like me who has played it, to comment on the game.

HL2 vs. DX2...no contest. even though HL2 isn't out yet, from what i've seen in the vids and screens i'd say it's already beaten DX:IW.

here's to the xbox lowering standards across the world :cheers:

 

[frances_farmer]

Deus Ex IW sucks Deus Ex however is pure genius and i rate it above Half-Life just

 

[Fat Tony!]

^ yea i agree

 

[Sui]

sigh here we go again. Not a compliment to DE:IW... But u do have a point- i dont own the game. But although i think HL2 0wns DEIW, i have to say DEIW is getting a hard time from... ohhh, just about everyone and u have to feel sorry for him. or is it a she. or an it. sigh. i need to go to bed.

Deus Ex 2 gets it hard because it didn’t live up to Deus Ex 1 as a sequel. I am afraid ION will screw up with Thief III (actually it’s called Thief: Deadly Shadows now, yes without #3).

 

[qckbeam]

DE:IW deserves every piece of criticism it gets. It was a crappy game technically, and, well, from a gameplay perspective, it sucked. Having a thread like this trying to pit them head to head is just ludicrous. Half-Life 2 would have to be utterly horrible to be beaten by DX2. It would have to suck on such an unbelievable level to be beaten by the steaming pile of shit that is DX2 that...well it just won't happen. Valve knows how to play this game. They won't drop the ball.

 

[TH-555]

my two cents:

I heard DE:IW sucks.

 

[Kakihara]

I really liked the original Deus Ex but it really shocked me just how shite IW is. The graphics were annoying, very little had improve in terms of gamplay and working with objects, and it was seems so much more FPS then Roleplaying. I'll probably play it on X-Box though, keep me busy til halo2, Half life2 n Fable r out.

 

[nw909]

Well, I think Half-Life 2 might be better than Hafe-Life 2

Well they've figured up the most tackyest of names for it. So here's expecting the game to be terrible. I really hope I'm wrong.

 

[Jackal hit]

i really like dx:iw. i don't care what you all say about it, i enjoy it... but i DO believe that hl2 will be much much MUCH better.

 

[Jhahn2k4]

Oh, yeah. HL2 is much better.. I've been playing it for like 15 hours.. I bought mine at Gamestop yesterday..

*cough*

Excuse me.

 

[qckbeam]

I think they should rename it to someting a little more intimidating, perhaps Thief: Scary Shadows?

 

[Mr.Reak]

Ah, what about Thief : Dark Corners? Oh, maybe to attract some CS fans, they can name it TH3lF.

 

[qckbeam]

haha, now Thief can be just as "l33t" as DRIV3R is

 

[OCybrManO]

I think they originally wanted to call it "One Who Takes The Property Of Another Without Right Or Permission: Areas That Cause One To Cease To Be Alive That Are Not Or Are Only Partially Illuminated Because Of The Interception Of Radiation By An Opaque Object Between The Area And The Source Of Radiation"... but they thought it was a bit wordy so they shortened it to "Thief: Deadly Shadows"

 

[qckbeam]

I love the Thief: Deadly Shadows (just typing that is torture) catch phrase "all that is yours shall soon be mine"............actually, scratch that, I hate it

read that from gamespot OCybrManO

 

[Mr.Reak]

"What side will you choose in Medieval war on terror?"

 

[Dedalus]

no, the reason they attached 'Deadly Shadows' is so they can pass it off on xbox as a new and original game. think how the poor xbox fans would feel if they got a sequel (a PC sequel no less), called Thief III. that would just be too much for their tiny brains to comprehend, and in the end they would end up not buying it. so they dropped the III and attached the 'Deadly Shadows', hence Thief: Deadly Shadows, which is much easier on your poor little xboxers brain. they did the same with Deus Ex for gods sake.

i wonder if they'll ruin System Shock III as well. 'System Shock: Computer Virus' anyone?

EDIT: can't remember off the top of my head if Ion Storm are developing System Shock III, any help?
