Deus Ex is buggy as Hell?

(1/6) > >>

Jackie Blue:
OK, so I got the GOTY edition of Deus Ex today, since apparently it was made by Jesus himself and I'd be an idiot to miss the nonstop orgasm that this game gives you.

Here's what I don't understand.  It has bugs.  Sometimes I can't unequip my weapon without dropping it on the ground.  Ammo won't stack unless I drop the weapons on the ground and pick them back up.  I restarted the beginning and somehow didn't get the map.

I've looked around and I definitely have the most recently patched version.  It's not a pirated copy, I actually bought it from Direct2Drive.  I can't find any information on how to fix these incredibly annoying bugs.  Or do you just have to deal with them?

It might just be D2D. I rebought mine on Steam when it became available and I have never had a problem with it.

Note, the game obviously wasn't made by Jesus. The FSM may have had his noodly appendages involved however. It is much more likely since after all, his noodliness actually existed.

I played Deus Ex a year or two ago and didn't really get what all the fuss was about. Maybe when I get a new AC charger so I can actually use my laptop again I'll download it off Steam and try again.

KvP:
Don't play Deus Ex on a laptop. The speed gets all out of whack and you have to fiddle with the config file every time you want to boot it up.

In fact, Deus Ex has on an old enough engine (seriously, look at it) that you might get those kinds of glitches with a fairly recent computer.

Deus Ex is revered because it has the best real-time non-poindexter "Action-RPG" system ever implemented and it presents multiple distinct ways of solving problems and playing the game better than any other game of its type and most games in general, whether it be playing as a tech-oriented character, a stealth character or a lethal force-averse character.  And the plot branching is really extensive. If a character dies in Deus Ex and they didn't attack you, it's because you didn't take the steps necessary to save the character.

Also, that is a mod too keep an eye on. Assuming it ever gets finished, the game will be much less of an eye sore.

My complaints about Dues Ex aren't numerous, but the ones I do have I think affect the gameplay experience. Like the fact it seems odd that you suck so very badly with weapons at the beginning of the game despite being a highly trained secret agent.





*SPOILERS*

Also the fact that you have all 3 ending choices no matter what you did throughout the rest of the game. You're actions had great effect on the game, and in the end they made no difference whatsoever in what happens. That bugged the shit out of me.
