I also find it odd that he chose not to focus on the Definitive Edition (he said he wanted to do a different video on that) which almost makes this video kind of dated even though its come out over a decade after the game did.Īll that said, I like listening to his thoughts, he's a smart dude and puts his thoughts together well in this video as he usually does so still a good watch. That isn't necessarily a problem but the video is 3 hours long so it would've been nice to hear something a bit more fresh. He has some good points in there but I honestly don't think he necessarily says anything that hasn't already been said by most fans of the Deus Ex series - being that the game is totally a good game but when compared to the original Deus Ex it's a fair bit more limited gameplay wise and the story isn't quite as intriguing. I enjoy hbomberguys videos, even when I don't necessarily agree with some of his points (or conclusions) like in his Dark Souls 2 and Fallout 3 essays. Genuinely fine games but ultimately kind of only "passable" at best to the shoes they're filling in. It's in that stack where you'd find Fallout 3, XCOM, Halo 4, Torment: Tides of Numeria, etc. And a lot of that fault doesn't lie with studio so much as the atmosphere around AAA gaming space doesn't allow them to recreate the conditions that birthed their progenitor titles. It's like telling a someone who was 5 when they first saw the prequel trilogy that "it's actually really not very good for the genre, particularly compared to Star Wars"ĭeus Ex HR exists in that same bracket of games where a dormant franchise was activated by a new studio largely unrelated to the original and while they made a genuinely good game they also made kind of a noticeably lesser game. Strongly agree that he's right on the money on this and I feel like this will cause a level of dissent and agitation among people who watch it and in general only became familiar with Deus Ex or ImSims with HR rather than the original.
