Check out the thread in RPG discussion.

I love how the image is of a game he didn't work on. And in true style he tells us nothing at all other than blind optimism.

No idea if this has been mentioned on thread.

Isn't that just every day life of the average worker across the globe?

 

[Spukrian]

Interesting...

It's multiplayer only though, I probably won't play it.

This is a combination of Dark Souls and an immersive sim.

For fans of the original Deus Ex check out The Nameless Mod, a total conversion, stories a bit goofy but the game is solid and the closest think DX has to a true sequal.

I couldn't get into this, it felt like a big in-joke that I didn't get.

I found turning off the voice acting helped remove the goofiness... just play the game as a series of quests without paying much attention to the story. The quests are still excellent, and are typical DX stuff like sneaking into top secret bases. Many parts of the mod exceed DX, hacking for example... each terminal has multiple logins and lengthy emails to search and feels much more involved that DX. Another note is that each building is built fully to scale... even if just the quest specific parts are in one small part, the devs still built the entire rest of the building for cohesion. It also has 2 main quests, the good or bad side, and each differ significantly. The story does begin to make sense after a while... it basically revolves around the forum politics of the devs who created the mod, but again it's not all that relevant if you just take each quest as it comes.

"Deepest Fear combines Metroidvania level design in the context of a classic FPS immersive sim"

I managed to get into it at my third attempt. The story and setting are completely retarded, filled with jokes and references from a forum that no longer even exists, so you can't even go and look up what all that shit refers to. You just have to ignore how stupid it all is and roll with it, enjoy it for the gameplay.

The level design is quite excellent and I honestly consider it the best designed Deus Ex total conversion mod out there. Which just makes the forum in-joke story more bizarre, being attached to such a high quality game.

The Nameless Mod is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. It's insanely expansive, well-designed, filled with quality music and even the voice acting is surprisingly solid (I recall the Scara B character being particularly impressive), but everything revolves around a completely bonkers premise that just keeps being riffed on and on.

I have no idea how the core team managed to keep the production chugging along. Legions and legions of more coherent and less ambitious mods have never made it anywhere near to a full release. Here's the ModDB page btw.

Oh, the ModDB link is to The Nameless Mod 2.0. From 2023. Which means that they've grinded out an enhanced version of a 14-year old niche mod to an 25 year old game. Damn.

I'm just going to tip my hat to this kind of commitment and download it for a new playthrough. Maybe I'll see it to the end this time.

 

[kangaxx]

Well maybe I need to give it another shot then. Thanks for the info, fellow gaymers.

It's ok, inputting 451 will make the game fire a minigun at your head so it's "self-aware" or whatever.
