JC Denton's voice acting adds so much to his character because people usually defend it by saying it's meant to indicate his altered state of humanity or make him sound like a badass, but the way I've been reading his tone is "This guy has no idea how to talk to people. He's just fucked up, why is he like this." it makes him endlessly entertaining
He’s 24 years old guy that was made into a perfect killing machine, all he did was training and preparing to become a supercop for hidden elites. He sounds like a kid that got superpowers and tries to say something cool because he IS a kid who got superpowers and tries to say something cool.
"Since that makes you my new boss, take a long look at manderley's dead body, consider that my resignation. I don't have time to write a letter" Broooo that was brutal
JC actually had a personality and it worked, Jensen is just too impartial, nothing really changes for him. JC was a loyal and proud agent, he knew his nano augs put him leagues ahead of his adversaries, and his training made him exceptional even without his nano augs, as a result he was smug, tossed one liners around with unwavering confidence, it fit his character. Even past that, he cares about his brothers, and despise not questioning UNATCO before, he was willing to listen to reason and is capable of giving a shit about something other than being a professional, or he is someone who is willing to do what has to be done to finish the job. Jensen is just a grumpy prick who cant even enjoy his augmentations.
JC, wears glasses because his eyes glow super bright, actually knows whats going and talks to people and not at them. Actually hears people out and doesn't just shout one liners and has a character. Brash, arrogant and 100% right, and loves it, also actually asked for this. Down to earth and also mono tone. Mr "Didn't ask for it" wears sunglasses because the people who made him think it's cool, whines and acts edgey because... Is a one note character with nothing to say, cant even hear people out, doesn't know shit, shouts out at criticism that he "didn't ask for this," also has mono tone, and yet sounds whinny. Both have, high level of training, state of the art tech, marge backing, and likely criminal backgrounds. (JC steals everything in sight) Also JC blows up the internet, and kills a evil AI and foils some shit, Mr "Didn't ask for" it joins the evil guys.
Jensen was too much of a hollywood hero, he wasnt grounded enough as a person to be believable, he was modeled too much after a silent protagonist even though he isnt. JC was a character of his own, his character arc wasn't massive or elaborate, but subtle and believable enough for a stoic but smug badass. They tried to make Jensen more human by giving him a romance interest, but he goes about it in such an unoriginal way he seems even more of a cardboard cutout anti-hero wanna be. JC was a more likable character because his reactions and perspective on the situation really wasnt purely evil or paragon of humanity, his abilities might be augmented, but his conscience is still at a human level. And through dialogue this change is made obvious enough to make the choices at the end seem believable for him to make.
I think I can some Jensen (thanks for saying his name, I actually forgot it) with this, Tall dark and brooding and filled with angst. 100% of his character.
JC is like that guy that wins all his arguments by smiling and nodding his head till he finds the one big crack in the argument, then demolishes that shit with one nonchalant quip.
A lot of people rag on JC Denton's voice actor as being bad and emotionless. They miss the point. They told the VA to play it flat. One, so that the player can project whatever personality on him they want, and Two, so that deadpan delivery of these perfect lines makes even the most jaded of beatcops in media look like pushovers.
Yeah I’m pretty sure the flat delivery is intentional; at the end of the Training mission, Jamie will comment on the holograms of people, and when you get to Paul’s hologram he says something like “You and your brother Paul couldn’t smile, even for a picture”
I really miss JC's witty comments in the newer games. I mean Adam does well with the snide and sarcastic comments, but JC just talks shit to people just to fuck with them. The only one that stuck to my head from Adam was the one at the beginning of The Missing Link 'Are you the cruise director? Cuz I've got a complaint.' That was exactly what JC did all the time haha.
GG M8 Haha indeed, that one was funny as well. He did really well in The Missing Link when it came to these types of comments, better than the main game.
Just wipe out the rooks, then talk to El Rey. If you accept the LAM and have no inventory space, JC will say he has to drop something and laugh for the only time in game
I love Jensen's constant dry sarcasm and mockery but man JC Denton's literal unhinged sociopathy is entertainingly unique. The dude has as little regard for human life as the weapons he uses and enjoys it twice as much.
I'm not sure if he's sociopathic-- at least, if you don't _play_ him like one (i.e pacifist run instead). He seems genuinely concerned for Jock and (especially) Paul's welfare at points. Though, being in a government Swiss school for like 10+ years can make anybody weird, I'm sure

You had to be a nerd to take the time to learn and program a game in the 90's and early 2000, now "gamedev" students are being churned out by the thousand at universities, and all the passion and creativity is completely gone.
You left out the best quotation. The one where in the sewers (same area as the Drug Dealer) where the junkie threatens to kill JC Denton with a LAM. *_"A grenade is a poor choice for close range combat."_* (JC's smartass reply to the Chinese newsstand woman bragging about the Dragon's Tooth sword being invented with "How do you invent a sword?" is also worth mentioning.)
Caught that mechanic my first time playing this game. He seemed suspicious so I knocked him out and lo and behold he had ulterior motives. That's why the original was so good, at that point in the game it's taught you to be suspicious of everyone's intentions, even some random mechanic, and it pays off.
I saw the dead body in the corner as I was looking around and paused and thought about the whole situation for a second and talked to the guy then shot him in the face.... his responses weren't right, dead body, rambly guy not saying the right thing and sounding nervous, blaam best decision ever..... I tried it the other way [leaving the mechanic alone] and Jock blows up in Area 51 after he drops you off.....also in Human Revolution I did everything I could to save Malik, I killed ALL the Belltower mercs after that as well....not just the ones attacking the landing pad but in the city too....F them guys man.....
I did too lol. I also took out the gatekeeper at Dowds hideout on first try, I didn't even bother with that security panel, noticed the bookshelf right away and cut it to peaces with the sword.

"Listen, JC. About your augmentations. You know they're preparing to roll out the technology worldwide, right?" "As long as I don't turn green and grow a pair of antennas as I understand it."
@@meyr1992 It's correct. The context to that dialogue is that he killed a coworker and the man JC is speaking to is warning JC that he will be killed for what he did. In response to this, JC says "neither did I!" in reference to the nature of how he stopped his coworker's heart from beating.
Writing for this game was better than for most modern ones, even though it was long before belief that games are art caught on. Really ahead of its time.
Thief is not anywhere close to Deus Ex in writing. There's really not much to Thief's story at all, though it succeeds at what it attempts to do (which has little to do with story). A better response would be to mention Planescape: Torment which came out a year earlier, but that doesn't make Deus Ex not ahead of its time regardless.
I think Thief's writing was pretty great where it needed to be - the guards' banter and conversations, Garrett's little quips and remarks as well as the intros before each mission were pretty great across the board. I don't really consider that those games were "ahead" of their time either, since Deus Ex, Planescape Torment, Soul Reaver, Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines etc. have writing that blows 99% of today's games out of the water.
I've probably spent over a couple thousand hours in Deus Ex over the years since it came out, and there's still something new to find every time... one of the things to adore most about it. Just the sheer scope and the non-linear nature of so much of it; it's not just picking a conversation option like an RPG, but actually doing different things and going places you wouldn't normally think of last time.
It is truly staggering the amount of voice recording they did for the first Deus Ex game, soo much content in that game. .....and now I want to play it all over again
In case you don't get the one at 3:50, it's funny because you just paid over a hundred credits to watch her dance and then immediately turn around and express your disbelief in her dream by stiffing her the cash at the end
That guy......just telling information for 20 credits and ask 20 credits all the time. The moment when she asked credits from 3rd time i REALLY wanted to headshot her but i didnt want to mess with the guards -_-.
1/4 Jewish and that is a huge problem Deus Ex is a good meme. That guy who sent you said Deus Ex is great. And it is. He just haven't showed you why, all it's great memes.
The original is eternal, but I liked Human Revolution. I never played Invisible War. I started Mankind Divided but I lost interest pretty quickly and never finished it. Of course, it could just be that I changed as I grew older, as I rarely play computer games anymore.
Yeah, he's a bit more developed than JC, which is expected for a modern game, but he doesn't come close to JC, or Original Deus Ex characters for that matter.

The protagonists of Deus Ex games are brilliant because of stuff like this. These little bits of weirdness make them feel real- like, they seem like traditional badass action heroes, but as the games go on it becomes clear that they're sort of faking it, trying their best.
Priceless video, I rewatch it every few days or whenever I need to cheer up. It's sad that Jay Anthony Franke is out of business and there are no characters quite like JC, neither in Deus Ex universe, nor just about anywhere else.
Luis Sánchez i'd have done the same thing. JC is the only man realizing the scaling absurdity of his journey, and Helios probably thought the same; that somehow, crappy world needed a reminder, someone calling the peeps in power out for their egotistical bullshit.
"My vision is augmented" is still the best excuse for wearing sunglasses inside.

..eye drops hidden in all that leather?
it should be “neither will I” i dont get how so many people miss this
@@meyr1992 It's correct. The context to that dialogue is that he killed a coworker and the man JC is speaking to is warning JC that he will be killed for what he did. In response to this, JC says "neither did I!" in reference to the nature of how he stopped his coworker's heart from beating.
- How are the drinks around here?
- Great if you like rat piss

"Bravery is not a function of firepower" - JC Denton, on behalf of Frederick Nietchze.
f (x) =/= bravery, where x = firepower.
Bravery'(firepower)=0.
@@Alknix That's a function actually
Unless your trying to kill the predator
The other Deus Ex's were never able to have as good dialogue as this. Meaningful, badass, cyberpunk, and a bit of corniness thrown in.
They fell into the trap of taking themselves too seriously after tasting success, IMO
What a shame

How unprofessional

"Bravery is not a function of firepower" - JC Denton.
Oh yeah yeah
Writing for this game was better than for most modern ones, even though it was long before belief that games are art caught on. Really ahead of its time.
Yeah, and it released just one year after another game that was so far ahead of its time for similar reasons: Planescape: Torment.
Legacy of Kain:Soul Reaver and Thief were already out. Great writing in both.
Thief is not anywhere close to Deus Ex in writing. There's really not much to Thief's story at all, though it succeeds at what it attempts to do (which has little to do with story). A better response would be to mention Planescape: Torment which came out a year earlier, but that doesn't make Deus Ex not ahead of its time regardless.
I think Thief's writing was pretty great where it needed to be - the guards' banter and conversations, Garrett's little quips and remarks as well as the intros before each mission were pretty great across the board. I don't really consider that those games were "ahead" of their time either, since Deus Ex, Planescape Torment, Soul Reaver, Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines etc. have writing that blows 99% of today's games out of the water.
I can't disagree with anything you said.
I love this game so much. JC's lines are priceless!

Welcome to the coalition, PROD.
I've had this game since release and have played it who knows how many times. Yet there are still voice lines I've never heard in this video.
I've probably spent over a couple thousand hours in Deus Ex over the years since it came out, and there's still something new to find every time... one of the things to adore most about it. Just the sheer scope and the non-linear nature of so much of it; it's not just picking a conversation option like an RPG, but actually doing different things and going places you wouldn't normally think of last time.
It is truly staggering the amount of voice recording they did for the first Deus Ex game, soo much content in that game. .....and now I want to play it all over again
don't forget the mods
Same for me, the amount of work they put into this game is amazing.
Like attacking the guard that comes up to the top of the liberty statue (even tranqing him) - manderley actually asks you what happened to him.
"Is that God you're talking about or just a bunch of new age crap?" Hilarious.
Unfortunatelly we dont get this level of writing in games anymore.
What a shame.
You came all the way to Paris to tell me that?
Oh yeah yeah

In case you don't get the one at 3:50, it's funny because you just paid over a hundred credits to watch her dance and then immediately turn around and express your disbelief in her dream by stiffing her the cash at the end
That guy......just telling information for 20 credits and ask 20 credits all the time. The moment when she asked credits from 3rd time i REALLY wanted to headshot her but i didnt want to mess with the guards -_-.
@Someguy136 idk it may look a bit bad but I like putting punctuation.

Deus Ex is a good meme. That guy who sent you said Deus Ex is great. And it is. He just haven't showed you why, all it's great memes.
Forgot how good some of these were. He's like an evil Batman.
You can play him as Batman straight up, but it much more fun to be evil Batman
The writing in the first Deus Ex is so much better than the sequels.
I'm very curious to play this game. Altough it seems to have suffered in its sequels the "Fallout effect", unfortunately.

Fallout 3, New Vegas, 4 > Human revolution, mankind divided 😁
+Amadeus Eisenberg
Yeah, Deus Ex seems to have gone really quiet now. Guess the Adam Jensen thing failed.
The original is eternal, but I liked Human Revolution. I never played Invisible War. I started Mankind Divided but I lost interest pretty quickly and never finished it. Of course, it could just be that I changed as I grew older, as I rarely play computer games anymore.
@@jewishparasite100 3 and 4 are worse than Human Revolution without mods.
The ultimate state of not giving a fuck.
Jensen wishes he could be like JC.
Yeah, he's a bit more developed than JC, which is expected for a modern game, but he doesn't come close to JC, or Original Deus Ex characters for that matter.
samurailv1 This shit made me reinstall DX again... there goes another 30 hours of my life.
He never asked for this.
But he never asked for this!
Jensen is lame. He may be "well developed" but he's boring and predictable.
I found this game really depressing. This game came out in 2000 and look at the industry now. That shit _hurts_ .
A bit ironic, right? It's not depressing as much because of its content, as how its design demonstrates modern games' bad design!
@@HunterShows tbh i can't think of a single modern game that comes even close to deus ex's level design

“Oh my god, JC, a bomb!”
“A bomb.”
This game was a Bomb back then. Fact is it still is.
Possibly the greatest game of all time. JC will always be the best protagonist ever.

The protagonists of Deus Ex games are brilliant because of stuff like this. These little bits of weirdness make them feel real- like, they seem like traditional badass action heroes, but as the games go on it becomes clear that they're sort of faking it, trying their best.
This is why this game is so memorable...best protagonist of all time
I always lose it when JC clicks his tongue between "What a shame. What a rotten way to die." Priceless.
Wheres the "BITCH I AIN'T GOIN BACK TO JAIL!" From the drug dealer? That was also pretty good.
God MaximilianMus ruined this guy
"Bravery is not a function of fire power." That's legit funny and badass at the same time.
Priceless video, I rewatch it every few days or whenever I need to cheer up.
It's sad that Jay Anthony Franke is out of business and there are no characters quite like JC, neither in Deus Ex universe, nor just about anywhere else.
This is the man Helios chosed to become cyber Jesus Christ
Luis Sánchez i'd have done the same thing.
JC is the only man realizing the scaling absurdity of his journey, and Helios probably thought the same; that somehow, crappy world needed a reminder, someone calling the peeps in power out for their egotistical bullshit.
Which is funny because the Helios merge was cannon and because of that the end of the world happened...
You can play as pacafist JC or psycho JC. Pycho JC would be hilarious for helios.
@Афанасий Сырков huh, I thought the global uplink was untouched during the Helios/JC merge... I did not know that...
