Paul Denton isn’t supposed to pass out like that lmfao So usually when you help break him out he leaves the hotel on his own and thanks you Then he shows up in Hong Kong, and assists you as the game goes on
It was a success. This was a PC project, and at the time the game required a decent mid range gaming PC. Back then, although PC's were light years ahead of the consoles, they were still mainly an office / study machine that you did your emails with and possibly a bit of solitaire. Also we don't equate copies sold with quality. If we did, Katy Perry's "ROAR!" would be a masterpiece, while Mozarts Great Mass would be some pulp shit in comparison. Just cos Playstation and XBOX sell millions of copies of Tombraider 27, COD 74 and Battlefield 109 ... doesn't make them "good games".
16:53 In the sequel (Deus Ex: Invisible War) they confirm that the entire machine was, in fact, fully stocked with lemon-lime. Gunther's conspiracy theory was right. That said, though, in certain emails you can find written by Gunther clearly show he's not very elegant with typing so he may have butter-fingered the lemon-lime button either way. > "Might I sugest agin, a skul-gun for my head."
Yep, I remember this being a thing on the PS2 version too. You had to fight off the guys coming into his apartment + the guys in the lobby then follow some dialog choices in a certain way iirc
it's tied specifically to whether or not you leave via the window, if you leave via the lobby, even if you leave some alive, he will survive. Even if you yourself get clapped he will survive. It sounds like Paul actually died in the fight in Charlatan, but he was showing as unconscious
Yup, it's literally just which door you leave through. Nothing else matters. Bring TNT from the hostage situation, kill everyone in the building, but leave through window: Paul dies. Cloak and run past all the attackers, walk through the front door: Paul lives. You can even just hide in the closet or the secret room and let Paul kill everyone his own damn self, he's still got plot armor.
Can we appreciate that warren spector also co-wrote what is considered one of, if not the best modules for paranoia to date. Also considering in paranoia you're called "troubleshooters" I can only imagine the game he had in mind had very similar concepts.
I literally have just been playign it, for the first time all the way through. It really is fantastic and actually kind of shocking how ahead of it's time it really was. If this came out now it could easily hold it's own as one of the top games of the year without even changing the core game.
thats not pauls body, you were carrying around the unconscious body of JoJo fine. (you knocked him out earlier saving gilbert and sandra renton). If you manage to clear the entire hotel lobby without paul dying he will thank you and tell you to go to the subway while he slips out with smuggler.
lol, what are you talking about? That isn't Paul's body that is Jojo Fine. Paul is literally flagged as Invincible in the 'Ton hotel fight & you can win it. The real issue with that sequence is the flag which determines the outcome is based on the exit you use. You have to exit through the front door not the window for Paul to survive. Also, that isn't what a sequence break is, that is just the game not clearing what JC is carrying after loading, hell the game doesn't even clear your inventory until a second after you are placed in jail meaning you can drop everything & pick it up in prison without having to go pick it up from the MJ12 armoury, which is a sequence break. Which Deus Ex is full of, anytime you use a keycode from your own memory instead of finding it, that's a sequence break, the biggest being entering the restricted area of Versalife with the keycode you get from Tracer Tong before you have ever met him. The soundtrack is available with the GOG GOTY version in case anyone wants to find it. Even with these errors I was going to thumbs up the video but you didn't kill Louis Pan so gonna have to hit the thumbs down, what a shame.
The crossbow is great for a non lethal playthrough. You just have to be more patient early game when your skills are much lower. I've done so many non lethal playthroughs where I found d the crossbow pretty useful.
I'll always remember 16yr old me doing the mission where you're sneaking round Dentons office, I was going in all the vents trying different ways not to get seen, going in every room including the ladies' toilets, looking for different paths, and finally doing it without raising the alarm. Then speaking with his superior and him telling me to "stop sneaking round the ladies' toilets"🤣 lol my mind was blown how does he know, that's just one of many things they really did think of everything amazing game deserves every bit of praise heaped on it. As do your videos keep up the great work
Deus Ex is still one of my favourite games to this day, it holds up unlike a lot of shit nowadays. Of course, engine limitations did span a lot of creativity back in the day, but I'm sure we'll see some aspects of the gaming industry make it back to what it was, and even more so.
Sometimes it happens - Spec Ops: The Line for example. And while being a genuine piece of art, it didn't sell well, so I don't think it'll happen any time soon
It's interesting, that the cyberpunk genre very rarely shows up in all the different medias, and pretty much always destroys everything else. Take Deus Ex, Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner.
... That's not Paul :D having said that the bug i encountered was, fight through the 'Ton with Paul and clear it, but obviously i don't want to leave via the main entrance as that would be suicide without a stealth aug or camo vest, so i head back up and out Pauls apartment window, except that flips the trigger that makes the game think I abandoned Paul so he's now considered dead :D back to the save file :D
Oooh boy, first the Deus Ex vid, and now the info that you're going to make a video about E.Y.E. - I friggin loved that game! Take care Charl and thank you for awesome vids!
One the greatest games of all time! I've put hundreds of hours into it and yet I've never regretted a single second. It's been installed on everyone of my systems since release, and always will. Just an absolute masterpiece!
Played it when it first came out, when PC gaming was more niche than it is now. Was an amazing experience, I had a non-gamer friend used to come over mine & we'd play through it like a movie, with him making all the decisions, he loved it. Really cool experience.
Started playing this again a couple of weeks ago. Calling this one of the best games ever really isn't an exaggeration, but it's kind of like calling Psycho one of the best films ever. If you watch it now so many parts will seem familiar to you because so many other movies were inspired by it. Deus Ex is the same. The story, dialogue, level design, quest progression, skill system and the style, and the way it handles player choice have been used in so many other later things. None of the have quite managed to do it justice though. In truth Deus Ex didn't invent most of those things, it's just the first example I can think of that put them all together so well.
If I remember properly it is possible without Paul being unconscious to rescue him, try like I did saving as many of the mine/grenades as possible, plant them across the hallway outside the door at a guesstimated six feet apart, make sure to also put obstacles in Paul's way, things like chairs and potted plants, after the initial assault throw all remaining down the stairs and do as you typically do on your current run, like if you're trained in rifles go guns blazing into the last few soldiers left, once it's over talk to Paul :3
I've seen a few other vids discussing this game, yet somehow you managed to present information that was brand new to me! I was shocked while watching this about halfway through when I realized I'm learning new shit about this game! Impressive stuff, and much appreciated that you put in the work to make this vid it's own thing to stand out!
@@hannibalcase1100 dont forget all the updated textures and lighting in the ps2 version. Interestingly half life on ps2 also got updated models and lighting.
@@nathanielhaven3453 I still think it's a shame that nobody has modded those gorgeous prerendered cutscenes into the PC version. The intro in particular is downright chilling in the PS2 version. I played the PS2 port of Half-Life, but I always got killer headaches playing it. Something about the way it renders angles is just... off, I dunno.
That mask joke was hilarious xD Your channel is incredible I'm a huge fan of immersive sim games and deus ex series in particular. keep up the good work! Ali from Iran :)
That was not Paul lol, but yeah fighting and killing all the mib in the hotel doesn't help you save Paul, best thing to do if I remember correctly was to choose the option to stay and fight but then immediately leave through the bedroom window
You actually can save Paul. The firefight is a bit bugged, so he might die sometimes, but if you defeat all the enemies he runs away and appears later on.
www.humblebundle.com/store/deus-ex-game-of-the-year-edition?partner=charlatan if you somehow don't own Deus Ex already, it's a dollar and change on the humble store right now (affiliate link BTW)
Consoles, casuals, and the publishers following the money caused a major halt in game design. It's been getting dumbed down and over simplified since around 2003.
I hope you revisit this game in the future, OG Deus Ex seems like a bit of a darling on this channel and I'd love to see it get the same kind of deep dive that Human Revolution got
LMAO dude, I found ur channel because of youtube stories and thought like "Why the fuck you show me some cooking channel?!" But turned out you put out some real good content. Continue your work.
I am just doing another playthrough. I tazed Sandra Renton cause she was pissing me off, and it was written she is unconscious. Next I talk to Vinny the soldier in the bar before the shipyard level and... He says she is dead😆 I guess I broke DX 😁
Great video - thanks. My personal favourite PC game. I play it on average, once every 2 years since its release. However, I have found the GMDX (Give Me Deus Ex) mod by Totalitarian to massively improve an already, genuinely incredible game. I highly recommend a replay of Deus Ex with GMDX installed and played on Realistic. It's an exceptional experience. I too find it frustrating that the music is not on Spotify. That said, 3 separate artists were involved including Michiel Van Den Bos, Alexander Brandon and Dan Gardopee so perhaps that makes it awkward to publish as an album. You are correct that this is quite a prophetic game these days, the only game I know that as time goes by, becomes more relevant.
I was not that bummed about the third of the sequels getting canned. I consider them OK games, but not good Deus Ex games. Way too safe in their themes, bit too absurd in some of their stylistic choices, the second one got ravaged by corporates. If they were called, better "Mass Effect" though... Also, still better than abomination "Invisible War" was.
It isnt a subjective opinion either...Dues Ex IS ACTUALLY THE BEST PC GAME EVER MADE...PERIOD. EDIT: As people have said you can save Paul. Done it on a playthrough..
1:46 INCORRECT! It is not the greatest PC game.... It is the greatest game of all time across all platforms! 😁👍 Seriously though. A lot of people overlook the PS2 port, which is a same. Up until recently that port was the only way for me to play it and i never felt I missed out on anything. From the moment I first played it I was hooked. The game is a masterpiece.
I played this game when I was like seven years old and it was actually a demo that I thought was the whole game then when I became an adult I refound this game on steam and bought it to relive playing the greatest game I ever played as a child and found out that there was a ridiculous amount more of the game. It is the greatest game ever made.
The way I got rid of Chow was to get to the top of the hotel by hacking an elevator, shooting with the pistol once to break the skylight, and shooting a second time to deliver a headshot. I didn't even talk to her.
Nah. If anything that's a huge compliment because the PC has tonnes of great genre defining titles. Deus ex and system shock 2 are so influential that to this day many games including console exclusive AAA titles use RPG mechanics. Of course they don't do it right most of the time
I like this game for what it is as someone who started with Human Revolution, but my god there’s so many things that have not aged well that some people I’ve seen are too blinded my nostalgia to accept as bad.
like what? i want to get into it but im worried the plot doesnt hold up to a person in 2020 and this video said "trust me the plot is so good you have to play it i promise"
@@bigfrogs4207 Game balancing is broken, most of the augmentations aren’t even worth using and sneaking that doesn’t even work most of the time. The plot’s fine though.

Yeah this was an odd part in the video since you can totally win that fight and it can work fine / not bug out like it did in his playthrough.
13:53 Dude... That isn't Paul. That is JoJo. They don't look even remotely similar. This whole segment of the video is just wrong
I Was looking for this comment
Back when 200.000 sold copies in half a year was considered a success.

I believe you can actually save Paul if you die before him when you get apprehended. If you do, he really will be waiting for you in Hong Kong
@Jonny B Yes, don't exit the window else he dies
Paul dying despite you fighting of the attackers sounds like a bug. I have saved Paul in the past and he thanks you and it changes parts of the story.

Deus Ex is the best game of all time. It's not just a game to play, it's an experience to live.
I have never thought about it before but I now believe with the fervour of a religious fanatic that Postal 2 is an immersive sim.
It is, though. Starting gunfights by peeing on strangers never ceases to amaze me.

@@saisameer8771 Or one could interpret it as saying nothing as good has come out on pc since.
@@tyrongkojy PC always had has best games before and after Deus Ex.
Great review!

Is noone going to mention the fact ambrosia is a custard making company
Why do you think Ambrosia are so called? Etymology is your friend.
@@Pragnantweggyboard honestly I have no idea, I always thought it was a brand name
@@ImperiumofRat Now you know!
this is weird, i enjoy the ads on my video, gj charlatan very funny!
Right now its 0.97 EUR on steam :)
I like this game for what it is as someone who started with Human Revolution, but my god there’s so many things that have not aged well that some people I’ve seen are too blinded my nostalgia to accept as bad.
like what? i want to get into it but im worried the plot doesnt hold up to a person in 2020 and this video said "trust me the plot is so good you have to play it i promise"
@@bigfrogs4207 Game balancing is broken, most of the augmentations aren’t even worth using and sneaking that doesn’t even work most of the time.
The plot’s fine though.
Ikcatcher ohhhhhhhh ok gotcha. thanks thats interesting
>game balancing is broken
In a game that has to account for multiple playstyles, it's pretty much a given that some things will work better than others, and it's not just Deus Ex, plenty of games from that era have this issue
>sneaking doesn't work
It does, you just need to get good
"Only" One of the greatests. Because you know, tastes... :)
That said, top notch story, a revolutionary gameplay (when it was published) and amazing BGM and dialogues.
