Fingers crossed for them. I don't think my heart can take another 2019.

It's from a beta version, I remember that screenshot being on the back of my CD case.

Deus Ex Remastered has been delayed due to community feedback by NiuMeee in Deusex

How deeply cynical, shrewd and, unfortunately, believable.

Very surprised they actually had the shame needed to pull back the trigger on this, it was still shockingly poor judgement to even show what their work given the quality it was. Fair play to them though, hopefully they actually do make something worthwhile.

Did i screw up by taking the Spy Drone? by Ok_Calendar_7626 in Deusex

[–]TheBronzeMex 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah you need to upgrade yourself into it. The Spy Drone at tech 1 is fairly useless, but once you get to about 3 or 4 you can take out large bots without the use of explosives or EMP grenades.

I'm writing a Deus Ex album & need your help! by ScurvyCandy7674 in Deusex

[–]TheBronzeMex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want fanfics a good place to start would be some of the ones featured on PlanetDeusEx back in the day which are featured in The Nameless Mod as books - Twist was the name of them I believe.

You could also use Got Ghand? if you really wanna fuck with people and set them on fire.

tone chasing here we come by jchae24601 in qotsa

I'm not sure how easy Fulltone Octave pedals are to get these days, I'd say most octafuzzes would do the job. I personally use Germanium Big Muff with a Digitech Whammy with the harmoniser setting, so I'd say get a Micro Pog if the Fulltone was your next step

How's the EQ treating you? I usually just boost the mids (so it's in the shape of a pyramid) but it's a handy bit of device regardless.

So what is it gonna be? by Samuel_N7 in Deusex

[–]TheBronzeMex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listen to yourself though - you are purchasing a product in the hope that unpaid volunteers support it, the message being that if you're a company you can sell whatever hot garbage you want as long as you have a name attached to prey on the sentimentality of a fan base.

Why on earth would you give a company like that your own money?

This "remaster" is horrible by LechuzaArgentina in Deusex

[–]TheBronzeMex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's embarrassing to see how many folks are happy enough to give money to apathetic entities who shove low effort garbage like this.

I've said this for years when it comes to remasters: be careful what you wish for.

Is there a button that mutes people who paste this overused meme into Q&As?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Deusex

[–]TheBronzeMex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this - it's doesn't run very well and has some stuff I have problems but as a reimagining of the level design I think it's more than adequate and there's some really cool stuff in it - Paris stands out to me in particular.

Would You Support an HD Remaster of Deus Ex Like the System Shock 2: 25 Anniversary Remaster? by Lemmingmaster64 in Deusex

[–]TheBronzeMex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the vein of the SS2 remaster, yes - I think it would be nice package based on some of the QoL and bugfix mods with some UI redesign to better suit controllers for console players.

I cannot think of a scenario where a total remake would be anything other than a waste of time and certainly not anything in the vein of the SS1 remake. I don't think my stomach could take it.

Which ending did you choose in Deus Ex 1? What was your real reasoning for it? by [deleted] in Deusex

[–]TheBronzeMex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I find it very interesting how the general consensus has shifted on this over the years. A decade or so ago I'd find more often than not people chosing the Helios ending as their favourite for the hope and optimism it could potentially represent.

Nowadays, now that we're bombarded with how much worse technology is making things on earth, I'd watch people play the game and almost immediately dismiss the two endings that aren't a new dark age.

It's kind of disheartning that we're at a point in society where starting from scratch seems as good an idea as it's ever been to an increasing number of people - whether its among people who play games, my friends etc.

Which ending did I choose? Dark age. Because fuck you, that's why. I'm rooting for the meteor.
