just more proof that ion storm developers are all hype. I think its safe to say at this point, they got lucky on the first game.

 And despite what anyone else thinks, I think DX:IW will be plenty fun. Yeah, they made a few mistakes with the shipped version (since they didn't get criticism of the demo until AFTER the game went gold), but the patches will fix the minor problems. Sure, universal ammo is kinda dumb, but it's not the first time it's been done, and other games have managed to be fun with it (Star Trek: Elite Force was fine with it, though they had 2 types of ammo instead of just one). And besides, how much of the first DX was even spent in combat? Half? Maybe less if you took a less violent approach? This isn't just a First Person SHOOTER you know. Hell, noone complained about the combat system in Theif, even though it was very limited. I just find it a little odd that everyone's major gripe with the game is the combat system when the game is about so much more then that... |

I will say, however, that the success of Deus Ex wasn't a fluke. Warren Spector knows how to make a damned good game. After all, he was behind System Shock and the Thief series, among others....

this game was so bad that...
So Deus Ex 2 was hidden behind the other games on the back of the shelve. Have to wonder what could be done with some of these worse games. Take for example that disc shaped pile of crap Tomb Ho: Angel of Buginess that came out earlier this year. It would be found outside in a sealed garbage receptacle nowhere near the other games to avoid contaminating them with its complete suckiness.

Although IW is a bad sequel to DE, it's nevertheless a fun game when considering it as a stand-alone game and not trying to draw parallels between this game and the first game. Same thing for Unreal 2 (which the developper are now trying to revive with the help of the MP add-on); as a sequel itself it was pretty bad but the game was nevertheless fun if you just want to play through it quickly without thinking about it as a sequel to wonderful Unreal 1 experience. |
