Actually he is talking about DX: HR

It has no number, it's the first game in the series.

Do you guys consider it a spin-off or deus ex 3? which would be better and why?

Your ignore list.
The best thing is to consider it the first in the series and pretend the original games never existed, thus giving developers more freedom to do their magic.

What? Human Revolution and Deus Ex 1 are very similar in terms of gameplay and design, Human Revolution was just modernized and had things changed around in it but at it's core it's still the same.
People actually believe this.


I also hate it how nowadays everyone just says "Deus Ex" for DX: HR.

It doesn't matter if the is talking about HR, the guys is a retard for thinking that ME is more of an RPG. Even HR is more of an RPG, even though it has been dumbed down since DE1.

its not that i dont like new vegas because i love fnv and i have beat the game and done a ton of side quests and ive played most the dlc's too. I just think it didnt really fit the fallout series and it didnt have that post apocalyptic fallout feeling to it. I know if bethesda would have made new vegas it would have been much better and darker like fallout 1, 2, and 3. BTW I LOVE FALLOUT 1, AND 2.

Actually he is kinda right that New Vegas was more post-post-apocalyptic than post-apocalyptic.

Still fits better in the series story and setting-wise than Fallout 3 or even Fallout 2.

I seriously don't think he was reaching that far.

Also, I managed to convince a friend to not get Skyrim and get New Vegas instead.

On the other hand, Fallout 3 felt like a fucking amusement park.

I can't see any difference between ME and DXHR apart from pretend-o-stealth in the latter

ME is more of RPG because EA has more expensive marketing campaigns. Whoever pours the most money into gaming ads telling you that this is RPG has the rights to the genre.

Yeah it had ancient romans, tribals, glamourous mutants and christian ghouls

The first time I encountered one was when you first meet the companions, and they are attacking one, so I jumped in to help.

This kind of set the tone, along with all of the 'Jack and the Beanstalk' propaganda we are fed as children. Giants were dangers to be annihilated at every opportunity. Plus their campsites usually had some sweet loot.

So after taking out about 4 of them, and their mammoth herds, and reaping much reward both in experience and gold, I began to notice that giants didn't actually aggro on me until I either got real close, or attacked them.

Otherwise, they kind of just stood there bellowing, shaking their massive clubs, a warning gesture.

I found this out when I stumbled upon one of their camps low on health, mana, and potions and decided to stealth through to all of the goodies.

As I was stealing all of his Mammoth cheese and a dwarven warhammer, I noticed the eyeball get big, I had been detected. Any other creature would immediately attack me for daring to take their possessions.

Instead the giant just faced me, an inscrutable look on his face. I sheathed my weapons and approached him. As I edged closer he raised his club and bellowed, yet did not attack.

The realization hit me like a hammer blow to the chest.

These weren't the angry aggressive monsters of story, they were herders protecting their flock.

Then I remember a few kills back, when I had managed to down a giant before finishing off his mammoth herd. After he dropped, the mammoths stopped attacking me. They all gathered over around the fallen body of their herder. Ignoring me, right in charging distance and shooting them with freezing arrows, they all lifted their trunks and trumpeted. It was so... mournful... so pain-filled...

At the time, my callous gamer heart ignored their lament and I actually thought 'bonus, now I don't have to keep dodging them'.

I killed them, all of them.

I chopped off their snouts, the instrument through which they voiced their pain. I harvested their tusks to give to some woman so she could prove herself to the Khajiit.

I mutilated the giant's body for potion ingredients and a pittance in gold.

I know now that it was I who was the monster, not them.

This is why I no longer hunt giants...

sounds engaging to me
and sadly bethesda forums are slow as fuck for me right now so there will be no reaping of inspiring quotes at the moment since more than 3 million roleplayers are telling each other their adventures
