Is time multidimensional?

For ten different endings it is.

I don't understand. Why does a game need to be long in order to have multiple endings?

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #78 on:** February 16, 2007, 07:10:05 PM »

There's only so many facets of a story you can explore when it's only ten hours long.

Only game to date which has made me play through it multiple times is Eternal Darkness because I wanted the final ending.

Deus Ex is HIGHLY overrated...Oh wait, I never played it.

I used to have a copy of the game, but never got around to playing it. Frankly, the game gets so much hype I am afraid that it will kill it for me.

Deux Ex is very well done but it's no Half-Life.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #81 on:** February 16, 2007, 10:31:44 PM »

What? Half-Life doesn't even come close to Deus Ex's detailed world and open-ended gameplay.

Deus Ex isn't even the same genre as Half-Life. FPRG Vs. FPS.

mantidor · « **Reply #83 on:** February 17, 2007, 10:59:52 AM »

what is FPRG? I've always been interested in Deux Ex only because it has many developers in common with Thief and Thief II, which are one of best First Person games ever, although I'm not exactly crazy about the setting, I'll always pick steampunk over generic futuristic scifi.

Artimus · « **Reply #84 on:** February 17, 2007, 11:03:05 AM »

The whole Deus Ex thing as an RPG of any kind is silly. It's a FPS with some RPG elements (at best). Half-Life is far more engaging and interesting, RPG elements or not.

You say that as though being a pure RPG is somehow superior. Deus Ex is like an RPG minus all the crap that makes RPGs suck.

No, it's like an FPS with a bunch of RPG elements added that don't really change the core game that much. And the endings were a total let down, 3 of them or not. Right up there with the Mario 64 cake as "least satisfying finale" in history.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #87 on:** February 17, 2007, 06:52:56 PM »

I disagree completely. But this is getting off topic.

Deus Ex is more of an RPG than 95% of the games being labeled as RPGs nowadays.

And it's not an FPS with RPG elements. It's an RPG that happens to be first person, and have guns.

Silllllly. FPS is not a genre by those standards. Deux Ex is defined by it's shooting aspects. Take those away and it's not Deus Ex. Take the RPG elements away and it is. Same story, same gameplay, same experience. Just simpler and less unique.

Dammit, everytime I click on this thread I'm hoping that there actually is some "New Sadness info" but all it is, is more Deus Ex talk. I've never even heard of that game until this thread lol.

Arrrrrgg you guys tricked me!

I would disappointed if it was because it would show a lot of promises for the Wii and indie devs. It would be something if this was an elaborate joke, someone just decided to do this, and everynow and then they release a little info, another piece of art work, all the while laughing at our hopes and confusion.

Edit: I somehow managed to spell Deus Ex wrong

I don't know what game YOU were playing, but it obviously wasn't Deus Ex.

You mean except for the part where I can go through the entire game without ever using a gun?

The fact that your choices impact all three of those things is exactly what makes it an RPG. I've played the game through countless times, and never had the same experience twice, because each time I always made different choices in the game. And choices are the root of all RPGs.

Are you sure that you weren't playing Invisible War? Because it really sounds like you're talking about Invisible War.
