Mass Effect 2
Alex C:
I guess what I'm saying is that even Deus Ex is really fuckin' old for a video game these days, and so it has led to some alarming conversations for me lately.

in the interests of full disclosure i kept getting my ass kicked in dr. wily's fortress and stopped trying but up until that point it was a very fun and not actually all that trying experience, and the game isn't as sadistically difficult as system shock 2 is from like fifteen minutes in. basically the first second you encounter a robot firing rockets and silently hoping for your death you are fucked mister, fucked to death

There's articles like this though, and while I assume that the writer is likely familiar with games such as Deus Ex and System Shock, many of their readers won't be, or at least many of them will only be passingly familiar with their existence via the success of Bioshock. You definitely run into forums and conversations where people are divided into camps that believe Mass Effect 2 to be a somewhat logical extension of steps developers were already experimenting with and those who view the whole thing as akin to a virgin birth.

well outside of the really broad definition of "shooty game with talky bits" they are really different games, and certainly ME2 doesn't have a lot of similar stuff in its idiom. even previous action-y bioware games are in a different category - outside of "shooty game with talky bits starring commander shepard and featuring the storyline wheel" there's honestly not even that much in common between the first and second games in the ME series.
deus ex did things in its idiom that were audacious, thrilling and new, and mass effect 2 is doing the same thing. it's not the first fully-realized shooty-talky but its particular kind of shooty-talky hasn't really seen a game quite like it.
