well like every other dues ex fan joe bob i was looking forward to dx2 naturally I played to demo and declared it crap after playing for a couple hours... the fact that the phisics where laugh out loud bad the combat was snorearific and the rpg elements werent enough to save it from its impending doom

but would we all feel this way had there been no news of hl2, d3, stalker, farcry ect?? i mean dx2 promised nothing short of what it delivered in my opinion... but i didnt enjoy it as much because what it promised/deliverd what short of what i expect in any modern fps even if its also an rpg/mmo ect. I shoot down dx2 but I do so respectfully in the same manner I did savage and planetside

but my question is had we not been hyped by promises from major titles such as half-life 2 and id's doom III would we be so actively bashing dx2.... I doubt it b/c lets face it the fps industry is on the brink of revolution and ut2k3 technology no doubt shot it off dx2 looks nothing short of watered down crap can you sense the dissapointment in my voice?? heh i feel this way because deus ex was revolutionary and the series seems to be destroyed :bonce: maybe theyl make books about it b/c i loved the story it was orginal and amazeing another reason i feel a little dumbfounded with suck when i play the demo is the ad's that made it seem so damn great what side will you pick on the future war on terror? cmon what cheesey crap bag picked that line(jk?)... great advertiseing to the average american though I have to admit

Yes I would of, De2 as it stands now is a bad xbox port, that also has poor design gameplay wize, and as it happans I was not looking out for de2 at all, saw afew screenies and thats about it, I only got the demo cus I happaned to see it on fileplanet, so Im not one with the hype...

Theres no new demo...

I think he's talking about warez.

oic... i dont download warez..... unless its a game i already owned and lost or something
 
Um you shouldn't talk about illegal stuff or you'll probably get banned. as for Deus Ex 2, it sucks. I hated the demo. Generic game!
 
Hype didn't kill DX2 being a bad game killed DX2.
Having the developers lie in most interviews about the capabilities of DX2 doesn't bode well for hl2 tho.

Even if it came out a few days after ut2k3 without any prior notice it still would have been utterly abysmal.
 
it's unrealistic expectations that always ruins things like games and movies....people want more of the same when they like something.

it's what ruined matrix: revolutions and it's what ruined this sequel for a lot of people. of course the physics of invisible war look like crap compared to HL2 and some of the other titles with advanced physics.

but the thing is, deus ex #1 was a great game and it didn't need good physics to be excellent. it needed good gameplay, and it had that.

i haven't played the demo yet, but i plan to...and i'm gonna play it with no expectations other than it being a worthy sequel.

those of you who've played it: is the gameplay really that bad, or are you mostly bitching about the gameplay/engine?
 
I expect all new games to be good, not just sequels and games from well known developers. Just so happens about 90% of them blow. Such is life...
 
It can't be THAT bad.. it's getting solid reviews. IGN gave the PC version a 9.0..
 
LOL I accidently read the topics title as "Hyper machine destroyed DX:IW" and I was like "wtf have someone destroyed the game with a hyper x-ray laser machine?"

My eyes are playing tricks on me...
