hey hey people seth here today i will be covering an older game that at the time was considered the best conspiracy simulator on the market deus ex looking back now it was a scarily accurate prediction of a future despite being made a full year before the 9 11 attacks deus ex depicted our world in 30 years as an authoritarian dystopia in other words they were 30 years off in this bleak future there's only the super wealthy and the super [ __ ] poor the only food available is candy bars and soybeans the only safe drinking

water is orange soda and 10 packs of cigarettes are now strong enough to kill you instantly for this reason secondhand smoking is now the preferred method of postnatal abortion or if you care about the environment and want a more eco-friendly solution you could also try jabbing your ungrateful spawn with a cattle prod then put them up for adoption in the ocean deus ex is an amazing game and i'm glad people pushed me to replay it you appreciate it more in your man-child years anyway plot you play as

jc denton the jc stands for jesus christ denton you're one of two nano-augmented brothers trained from a young age to be elite agents of unatco the united nations anti-terror coalition which was founded after terrorists bombed the statue of liberty and as expected everybody thinks it was an inside job to justify increased surveillance and create a supernational entity that could operate outside and above the jurisdiction of individual countries this is nonsense the true purpose of unitco is to protect you and all free

citizens of the world from terror a war on terror if you will your job is to investigate arrest and kill terrorists across the world but not talk to them because that's how they get you they get in your head they start making you ask funny questions and before you know it bang you're a liberal if you shoot on sight and follow orders without question you'll go far in unatco also the world is suffering in outbreaks of infectious disease called the grey death and the only cure for it is a vaccine called ambrosia

well it's not really a vaccine a vaccine would treat you not temporarily halt progression for 48 hours did i mention there's not enough vaccine to go around but just enough to make sure the most important members of our society get it namely bureaucrats politicians and any person with wealth and influence that's quite a coincidence isn't it but don't think on it too much that's for philosophers don't be one of those greek homos problem is these terrorist groups keep stealing shipments of ambrosia and lord forbid

if ambrosia gets into the hands of a poor i'm gonna have a stroke it's not a pretty world jc but we all gotta make sacrifices some more than others a lot more than others anyway i won't spoil too much of a story for you but let's just say that in deus ex the ruling elite control all of the banking communications and biotech industries they were all in a happy agreement exploit and steal from everybody else it was harmony it was peace then one of them said we have an incurable virus why the [ __ ] do we need the rest of you and now they are no longer in a happy

agreement every secret society the illuminati the bilderbergs the rot shields the bogdanov's wu-tang clan they're all in complete turmoil and it's all a grand conspiracy for control of the modern world for enacting a new world order unfortunately you're caught up in the middle of all this and like it or not your choices and actions will shape the world don't think i won't report this for better or worse by the way denton stay out of the ladies restroom that

kind of activity embarrasses the agency more than it does you gameplay it's very good there's a [ __ ] ton of controls but they're very good controls in case you have lost your keyboard since the last video i recommend getting a new one the ui records absolutely everything it's fantastic you can even add your own notes skills are self-explanatory and as intelligent gamers you will receive no explanation throughout the game you get assigned to missions from unatco but each location is pretty open forcing you to investigate and fulfill side objectives

in order to progress the main story you get rewarded for exploration constantly so there's no reason not to do it strangely the npcs of deus ex have a habit of dropping ipads everywhere containing their banking details and not changing their recovery passwords throughout my playthrough i have encountered not a single person who gives a [ __ ] about their financial well-being leading me to believe that npcs in this game are actually quite realistic depictions of people living in the first world let's talk about setting most of your missions send you out to cities then you

head back to the unetco base on liberty island it's actually really nice to visit unatco headquarters in between missions this is pretty much your home you can talk with your boys break into closets hack everyone's computer and get sexual harassment charges from hr i've already reported you once you natco we only recruit the best of the best to keep you safe as denton you can use different tools to meet your objectives depending on whether you want a loud or stealthy entrance a trigger-happy or non-lethal solution at

the start of the game you can even choose a starting weapon of course the only correct option is the get gun for silent takedowns you can equip yourself with whatever you can get your hands on some examples are cattle prods pepper sprays and chinese nano blades that refold themselves a thousand times each second just to flex on the japanese you get most of your weaponry by stealing [ __ ] from other people you are a bionic superhuman they can't stop you sometimes you'll be forced to pay for certain items or services this

is rarely a problem since you can get most of your credits by hacking atm machines shooting in deus ex isn't so much about speed it's about waiting in a corner for your aiming reticle to shrink small enough to actually hit your targets without training this takes about a year with training this still takes about a year for this reason the stealthy approach is much more satisfying you peek out behind corners and then you shoot people with tranquilizer darts and then you run away as they scream and pass out by the way did you see what happened to

the soldier we sent into the statue it turned up unconscious no sir friendly fire not so friendly i'm afraid i have opened an investigation dismissed just be careful because sound travels in this game and if you accidentally drop a soy packet on the ground the seismic tremors it creates will set off every alarm on the level for more lethal solutions you could just use a gun and but what's the fun in that as a nano augmented god you can crush people

by the sheer weight of your thighs jc thick dentin fills his victims with terror in their last breathing moments there's plenty of other augmentations you can install which take up mutually exclusive slots on the body no matter what you pick they're all pretty useful and upgrading them only makes their powers more ridiculous throughout the story you go to a variety of locations and speak to a huge number of people even unimportant side characters usually have several lines each and the dialogue itself is fantastic i heard that he was a frequent visitor this compound

you know him the rumors part is close to wallows jc's perpetual autism also adds to the mood of a game he's so deadpan and emotionless but he turns serious conversation into unintentional black god comedy what a shame he can't really be there must be something we can do he was a good man what a rotten way to die as the story develops and unatco gradually gets infiltrated by clandestine organizations you can

uncover a lot more about the plot by being inquisitive there's a huge [ __ ] ton of lore spread throughout minor characters computer terminals newspapers and books as you learn more you can start putting the pieces together find out who's pulling the strings and practice your latin also this game predicted nuclear war between india and pakistan they're only one year away from becoming a superpower lord help us all real talk searching carefully and reading everything pays off big it can even let you completely bypass some of the hardest fights in the game

by modern standards deus ex has the graphical fidelity of blurry vintage pornography but it is completely functional however if it's still an eyesore for you you can try gmdx or the deus ex revision mod they both make it very pretty the sound design is great everything sounds clear and crisp which makes the world feel genuine and authentic are you sure you press the right button i do not make mistakes of that kind your hand might have slipped no i wanted orange it gave me lemon lime

the machine would not make a mistake it's the maintenance man he knows i like orange so you think the staff has some kind of plot yes they do that on purpose the music tracks are nice too i sometimes keep the unetco conversation theme playing when i'm calling with the shareholders i want big giant [ __ ] deus ex is wonderful and it doesn't take too long to finish it may very well be the definition of a perfect game i give it an excellent out of however many children i taste during my play fruit my dad says

you can't get anywhere if you can't keep a secret so please give it a shot it's very cheap and it still goes on sale from time to time it's not for everyone and by that i mean if you are an illiterate sub-human troglodyte and you've somehow managed to evade the special needs wrangler long enough to watch this video well firstly that's actually very impressive good job but you might not enjoy this game as much but if you are capable of having an attention span you'll find a plot that captivates you from start to finish with

moral and ethical questions raised that leave you in a slightly higher state of being of course deus ex takes a very extreme view of a future but you must remember that with each day we do not question or challenge our leaders extreme becomes absurd absurd becomes implausible and implausible becomes a reality what is it mister i'm really hungry you don't look that bad tell me what you know about the nsf i knew it someday the nsf is going to win and i'm going to give them your description with your stupid shades

and they're going to kick your ass as always more videos to come so stay tuned it will also be much more upbeat don't worry a warm thanks to the many members of a merchant's guild generously funding and bankrolling these videos you're all truly wonderful have a good one [Music]

oh how are the drinks here great if you like never tried it
