[PC] Reccomend-a-Game (and proper spelling)

Recommendation for anyone:

-Deus Ex-
__________________________

This is, IMO, the best game ever made, and here's why...

For starters, it's a shooter, but not just any type of shooter, and RPG/Shooter. This means that you can upgrade your skill points and bioaugmentations as you progress through the game, gaining new skills, and getting better at wielding certain classes of guns, melee weapons, or picking locks/hacking computers/using medpacks/etc... Another thing that makes this game amazing is it's endless replayability. Because of the RPG influences the game is wide open, lots of side missions to do, lots of free roaming, PLENTY of places to explore, hundreds of ways to tackle certain obstacles, the works. You can play stealthily, cockily(word?), be conservative, or very liberal in the way you play. There are a ton of weapons, and the way the inventory works is that you have a certain number of squares that you can fill up, certain weapons are bigger, and take up more room, meaning you have to plan what you use carefully.

The main thing that makes this game so amazing, however, is the atmosphere. It's kind of an industrial-cyber-punk atmosphere, in the year 2057, with realistic insights into the near future. Large corporations and factions at play, and terrorism actually a threat to the masses. Also, the way the game is set up, there is a lot of referencing to things you will never see in the game, meaning that the world feels a lot bigger than your average video game, giving you the feeling of being only a small part in the world.

The game is also really long, and travels to many different destinations, such as Hong Kong, New York, Paris, and even Area 51. This also gives you a feeling of a large world, and adds to the atmosphere. The music in the game is also great, with very appropriate music for the settings you are in, and changing music when combat ensues(sp?).

The characters are also very easy to get attached to, and the game really pulls you in, involving you emotionally(another RPG trait). The way the game unfolds really gets you caring for certain characters and absolutely despising(sp?) others. It's great...

All in all, I'd suggest this game for fans of shooters and rpgs alike. It can be found for like 10 bucks in the bargain section of most game stores, and if you are going to get it, look for the GOTY edition, because it comes with multiplayer, which is really unique and fun for this game.

That's my two cents of recommendation...

How ya doing, buddy?

OMG, I'm so sorry, can I get you some medicine or something?:aargh: Another one struck down by Invisible War...a shame...

That game is an absolute DISGRACE to the series, and ultimately led to the bankruptcy of ion storm, one of the parent companies. IW is NOTHING like the original Deus Ex, and I suggest that if you played Invisible War, and hated it, play Deus Ex and forget everything that you ever did in IW.

Eughhhh...It gives me the shivers...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If anyone's looking for a simple, but addicting, top-down space fighter game, check out Continuum, also known as SubSpace. It's free for download and to play, it's awesome, and there are tons of different arenas with TONS of people playing it.

Continuum/Subspace

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
