The excitement of fanboy gamers is a double-edged sword; when
disappointed they can be
the harshest critics.
Deus Ex
is one of the best PC games ever, cleverly fusing FPS and RPG elements
into an open ended game with a great story.
There's a lot of anticipation for
Deus Ex 2, coming out
next week (already gold).
Alas, the demo of DX:IW disappoints. Fans are up in arms that the game is dumbed down for consoles, lacks the subtlety that made the first game great. I found the demo unplayably laggy until Warren Spector posted some fixes. Even then it only seemed OK; nice visuals, boring gameplay, stupid UI. Kind of a shame: instead of building excitement the demo seems to have made me worried about whether this game is up to snuff. |
