Is it just me or is the opening cut-scene of this game terrible? The exposition is really confusing. Like why is a UNATCO agent explaining to the UNATCO director what UNATCO is? It made me think that UNATCO was a separate organization than the one that you work for. Who the fuck are these "old men"? Whats FEMA?

Fuck the writers of this game.

>Whats FEMA?
wew lad

Ok, I just googled FEMA and realized I'm a massive fucking retard. BUT THE SHIT I SAID ABOUT UNATCO STILL STANDS

UNATCO?

Too late motherfucker.


>Whats FEMA?

I've already discussed the matter with the senator.

t. American

>Whats FEMA?

OP confirmed for islamo-fascist reptilian mason agent provocateur, put your masks on, he probably has bioweapons

>Who the fuck are these "old men"?
The Illuminati

I take it he was agreeable?

>Whats FEMA?

>>Fuck the writers of this game.

Oh yes. When I mentioned we could put him on the express list for the vaccine he was so willing it was almost pathetic.

>BUT THE SHIT I SAID ABOUT UNATCO STILL STANDS
Not it doesn't you dickhead, Bob Page and Walter Simons has nothing to do with UNATCO (Simons is the director of FEMA), the old men comment is a reference to the Illuminati remnants you wouldn't know about until you near the end of the game.

How the shit do you not know about FEMA

U-unatco?

Wait the guy in the beginning isnt Denton? Wtf?

he's talking about this cutscene, clearly

No. Savage.

...

No. Within six months.

Desperate.

I think the government made the plague on purpose.

The two men talking are Bob Page, owner of VersaLife, and Walton Simons, newly appointed director of FEMA. FEMA corresponds to the real-life Federal Emergency Management Agency, while VersaLife is an in-universe biotech corporation. UNATCO is a UN-funded anti-terrorist organization, led by Joseph Manderley, who doesn't speak in the intro. The "old men" refer to the pld order of the Illuminati, whom you don't meet until later in the game.

How the fuck did you not know what FEMA was?

Although you think it's bad for wrong reasons, it is not a very good cutscene. It makes a lot of sense on a replay, but on your first run of the game it would have made more sense if it was more connected to JC and liberty isle.

please tell me you aren't this stupid.

DESPERATE.
Your turn.

Oh yes

>buy game
>it crashes on startup
>install the Kentie Windows 7 and DX11 shit
>game still crashes on startup

Fuck Steam.

pc master race

Get the hell out of here, Denton.

>these are the kind of people who badmouth DX
jesus christ
lemme guess, W10?

Opening is intentionally confusing. You're not supposed to really understand it on the first playthrough. You pick up that these guys are sinister, there's a virus, civil unrest, terrorism, and some threat to their power by another group, and all with the backdrop of the big hand in the MJ12 labs at Versalife.

The PS2 version cuts out the line about UNATCO (among others), removing the weirdness of the people behind the conspiracy explaining to one another what it is.

No I'm trying to run it on Windows 7.

Careful he's some kind of mech1

A personal appeal from Bob Page, founder of VersaLife.

>Fantastic opening cut-scene
>boring game afterwards
Anybody else have this feel

>What's FEMA?

Man, even the most braindead motherfucker would have at least heard of FEMA on the news or something, holy shit.

>boring game
>Deus Ex

I'm glad I don't know what it feels like to be a pleb.

the electronic old men and their flexibility

GOG man.

Always use GOG.

Works fine for me.

I have windows 7 and it runs fine for me user

I had the same issue with this user, I played for a few hours and was bored.
So I didn't play it for like a few months cause I just didn't have the urge to play it.

But after a few months I decided to back to it since I had no other game to play. Once I picked it up again it's been really fun and just can't stop playing.

i hope not and you just gotta cope with the fact you're a fag

Why didn't UNATCO posting take off like Baneposting? They're the equivalent of their respective media.

re-installing it to check then.
I know, I know.

mystical city on the hills

Because OUR bio-chem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience!

normies don't like playing older games where you have to somewhat think about things.
normies do like big box office movies.

>He doesn't know about the secret illuminati funded UNATCO posting enacted by old men

Finally someone else who's played the PS2 version. I played that one first because I didn't know better. Still blew my mind. You could imagine how fucking different and weird everything was when I finally got around to playing the PC version.

WARNING

WARNING

>Whats FEMA?

A BOM

...

Number 1: that's terror

Don't tell me. It's on its way back to the people.

>what's FEMA

ahaha lol

Because that one autist ran it into the ground shortly after DXMD came out.

>The bum angrily yells at you.

Now maybe you can calm down for a second and tell me where to find the mole people.

I heard they're in the women's bathroom

No

don't know if you did this but it took 2 seconds of googling

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings -> Data Execution Prevention

and add the DeusEx.exe file (...\Steam\steamapps\common\deus ex\System)!

DAMN

Give me a chopper and friendly fire and I'll handle it

Dude...

Weed...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWNNNNNN


Seriously, what happened to the good baits of old that were subtle and believable and thus made you angry?

could you be any more of an obvious troll?

Gonna play Deus Ex for the first time, any tips for a scrub?

max swimming

save often but don't be a savescumming cunt who doesn't roll with the punches

Welcome to the force. might as well start doing coke
just in case though, we're police

Sneaking is good, most of the time you're outgunned.
Do not train swimming
Put one level into computer skill to allow you to hack anything in the game
You can untrain your pistol skill at the beginning if you're not planning to use pistols.

no spoilers, yet there is a spoilered line

Purple UI best UI.

real talk, I just bought and played deus ex for the first time last year, and it has become one of my favorite games ever.
I don't understand those people that make threads about this game just to talk shit about it.

The prod is the best way to make a silent takedown.

me too, but I played on normal and savescummed sometimes
sorry for being a faggot and a pleb guys but at least I'm playing the god tier games

Ditto, I played it for the first time ever just 2 years ago. The graphics are derpy lego blocks tier but in terms of game mechanics and scope there still hasn't been a more complex game to ever have been made since.

Most people use spoilers for emphasis because there's no bold or italics

Hope your first day goes ok user

The game is still really good even today.

People on Sup Forums just like to make others angry rather than talk about games they enjoy.

Filling the OP with bait is the most efficient way of starting a thread on Sup Forums.

Hacking is God Tier.
Lockpicking close second.
Choose early on if you're gonna specialize in small guns or rifles (I'd suggest rifles which are stronger and include the sniper rifle which is absurd lategame, but small guns have the crossbow which is loads of fun).
Ignore Swimming and Environmental Hazards.
Electronics is good but not as good as lockpicking and hacking.
Heavy Guns are big, take loads of inventory space and require lots of ammo and also alert everyone of your presence, I wouldn't recommend them.
Sneaking and exploring the environment is key in this game, lots and lots and lots of hidden passages and shortcuts towards the objective.
Talk to everyone. Multiple times.
Aim for the head/neck when doing melee from behind, higher chance of insta-K.O'eing them.
When you get your first augs, the one that lets you lift higher weights is much better than the other options. Also the Self-Healing aug is incredible.
Most npc's are killable when you wouldn't expect them to be (even allies) and the game acknowledges your choice.

Don't exit by the window.

welp

Lurk moar newfag.

there's spoilered sections in your post even though there are no spoilers in it

meme bait thread but I've got something to say anyway
Fuck opening cutscene, Deus Ex has great plot but the fucking cutscene gives everything away, you see Walton Simmons after completing like 1 mission for UNATCO so you know they are fucking evil. I guess it was supposed to be the point but they should be more subtle, the player should make the choice to leave UNATCO himself, and with that bullshit he is ready to do so right off the bat

>he doesn't take the GEP gun

¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not really, if it's your first time playing the game by the time you meet WS in person you've already long forgotten the details of the intro.

Lurk moar newfag

One point in computers and the rest in pistol at the beginning. Then go with pistol all the way through. Then IDK. Pistol is god-tier. Put all the upgrades in your pistol.

Straight-up wrong. Not everyone has ADHD.

>Do not train swimming
Don't listen to this faggot. He doesn't want you doing the patrician JC Dolphin playthrough.

JC ITS A BOMB

Factually correct rather. You only talk like that because you finished the game multiple times and so the intro feels spoiler like to you. It really isn't.

>do not train swimming
fuck off reddit trollo

This desu fampai. The GEP gun, while huge, has great utility throughout the entire game. It's a lot better than fiddling around with LAMs or LAWs.
