Brads merged Deus Ex discussion : Othor Games

Deus Ex was actually on sale on Steam just last week, so yeah, as Xetirox said, it will probably take a while until it happens again.

Well, that sure is a pain in the a$$. GOG is good, but I can think of better things to spend ten bucks on.

You only say that because you haven't played it yet. I personally, cannot think of a better use for $10.

Only because you haven't played it before...

EDIT: Dammit, Wolf!

Donating to charity? No, but in all seriousness, I don't really want to spend anything on it because I have already brought it - just foolishly on the wrong platform which doesn't allow me to mod it. I mean, I'm sure the game is good, but the graphics are so bad! I mean, even for 2000, the textures are like 32-bit?

Don't waste any more money on this game Brad.

If you really want to play it, play the copy you have because that your cheapest option. If you want to mod it just for graphics (which is a pretty lame excuse imho) then you will just have to fork over $10+.

I purposely brought the Augmented Edition of Human Revolution, which includes the original for free, with the intention of playing it after finishing the new prequel game. However, the graphics are really bad - even for the year of 2000. There is a mod that upgrades the graphics, but it only works if you actually have the game installed (something OnLive being a cloud-gaming service doesn't offer). So, how can I get this game cheaply? What is the cheapest way to buy it or is it now free or are there some give-away contests for it or anything?

Look for it on E-Bay. I bought it for like 2 bucks + 3 shipping several years ago, and it was in original box in mint condition at that.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Deus-Ex-PC-/261097883231?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item3ccaa5865f .99 cents, $4 shipping, no bids on it, less then 2 days left on it. Just the disc and jewel case, but that's all you need!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Deus-Ex-PC-2000-/140852444541?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item20cb75bd7d .01 cent, $5.20 shipping, can't tell(generic pic), but may come with original box and inserts as it states "Like New". 5 Days+ on it, so some wait is required.

The http://www.steamgifts.com/ you say...

If you're lucky anyway

I got it for like $3 on steam a month or 2 ago. I'd wait for a sale on steam.

After finally finishing Human Revolution, which in my opinion was just amazing both in storyline and gameplay aspects, I decided to playthrough the original Deus Ex since my OnLive Augmented Edition of Human Revolution came bundled with it. However, not only are the graphics ridiculously bad (even for the year of 2000), but the controls are so awkward. I mean, how the hell do you play it?

» Fri Sep 21, 2012 6:26 pm

Anyone care to explain?

» Fri Sep 21, 2012 11:03 am

Controls are pretty standard. WASD for movement, space for jump and C for crouch. Dunno what the problem is....

» Fri Sep 21, 2012 10:14 am

Try looking at the manual: http://gamecontentgreen.yummy.net/deusixdemo/doc/Deusixmanual.pdf

edit: based on your most recent post, you may need to change your keybindings.

No, it isn't? The default keys are bound as left-mouse for quick save, X for crouch?

» Fri Sep 21, 2012 6:19 pm

Why don't you try the tutorial?

For the demo I played it was. Besides why not, you know, change the controls?

» Fri Sep 21, 2012 8:58 am

I know the controls, but they are literally all really dodgy. As I said, left-mouse button is quick save and X is crouch! I know I could rebind them, but that will take forever.

» Fri Sep 21, 2012 2:13 pm

So do it then. At most it'll take like 2 minutes.

That's probably an issue with OnLive, not Deus Ex.

Yeah all you need to do is fix the key bindings, a job which really wont take long (print out a list of the default ones for reference?), and then you can enjoy one of the best shooters ever made...

That is odd. The controls on mine were pretty standard. It must be OnLive or something. Re-binding controls won't take that long.

Yes, but the mouse lags in the menus and changing it is so awkward! Curse you Onlive for non-standard controls! They probably re-bound them because some keyboard keys such as Alt+O are used for OnLive's navigation. I don't know. Probably just give the game a miss now...

It will take minutes to go through and return them all to default keybindings, even if you do it manually. if you map them back to default then you don't even really have to think about it.

It's obviously unplayable as your controls are messed up, it's nothing to do with the game or gameplay itself, the solution is simple if you want to play it...
