Deus Ex is one of my favourite games of all time, but it wasnt that influential simply because there arent many games like Deus Ex around now, its probably influenced the RPG genre more than the shooter one,
so while it was stellar it wasnt that influential IMO
influenced the use of full orchestral scores in FPS's (I cant think of any FPS before halo that had this), grenades on the fly, melee on the fly, recharging health/shield (this tripod gameplay mechanic has changed the way shooters implement grenades, melee and health) Halo's use of vivid colours, (the amount of FPS's before Halo that were post-apocalyptic greys and browns was insane), actually limiting your arsenal to 2 weapons forcing you to think of weapon combinations (how man...
dl ing this now, really looing forward to playing it when it gets dark
yeah nice one jaosobno very original argument, we are all brainwashed by Microsoft coporate subliminal messaging. its all a conspiracy, reviewers get sent cash in brown envelopes to give high scores...........grow up
yeah it simply is one of the most influential on any system, people saying only on xbox or console are kidding themselves
look at shooter today on any system Halo influences can be seen in every FPS these days, console or PC, sorry but thats the way it is
it is a very influential shooter up there with the Dooms and half life's of this world
the only reaosn I still play PC games is for the Indie games like this, im a big horror fan and loved the Penumbra series, will dl this tommorrow
Braid is the best Xbox live Arcade title, I say so and so does metacritic, a close 2nd would be Shadow Complex, Limbo or Rez HD,
really looking foward to Hydrophobia also
Braid really is the masterpiece people say it is, if you have a PS3, xbox or PC get it
cant wait for this
Lol how can you not mention Braid, Limbo and REZ HD
Shadow Complex used to be my favourite xbox live arcade game, until I played Braid, which is now my favourite and one of the top ten game I have ever played
Gamesmaster are the most consistent reviewers out there, I give more credance to its scores than EDGE's or gamesTM's
after 20 years of gaming this is my favourite game of all time, I will never forget playing this on Christmas day ten years ago
2nd favourite GOTY after Mass effect 2, and yes ive played RDR, GOW3, Alan Wake, Heavy Rain, Bayonetta etc
I agree alot, Uncharted 2, Limbo for example has some awesome animation, but by and large Japanese are the best at it
good mention for REZ HD, still one of Xbox live Arcade's finest
I completely agree big_silky, I will try it but its all about the campaign and coop campaign for me
this is the way im going lately though, I mean im looking forward to COD:BO SP and MOH SP but not the MP's, MP's are starting to bore me a bit
well I think bad positioned checkpoints are just as bad a 'save whenever you want'
it takes suspense away from a game knowing you saved 1 minutes earlier, also in a shooter you can just reload a previous save straight after an enemy encounter with the knowledge of enemies position
one of the great 2D games ever made,
been waiting for 5 years now,
yes I wouldnt pirate an indie game like this, I would feel too guilty,
