Admittedly though Hobie does have an issue. He happens to be one of only a handful of people in the world who have played and didn't care for Deus Ex. That's not to say that his opinion is wrong, but instead I wish to point out that no matter where he airs his opinion, he's going to get a ton of flak over it due to the game's massive popularity and general prestige. It's like Final Fantasy 7, only on a magnified scale(as FF7 in general has more detractors than Deus Ex...at least, that's been my experience).Xeogred wrote:Man you've got some beef against Deus Ex.
Don't touch System Shock 2.
In short, Hobie disliked the game. He's justified in that, he had valid complaints. But when he mentions these complaints, people generally become hostile immediately, to which he's taken a more hostile view of the series as a response.
And that's perfectly normal. I'm urging Hobie to try the game not because I think it will force him to change his mind or because I'm being hostile to his anti-Deus Ex opinion, but because I'd rather he give it a try and find out first hand if he really does not enjoy it instead of being turned off because of the fan reaction to the first game. Hopefully he can give it an honest try and isnt too far gone on his conclusion based on reviews, gameplay footage, and his aggravation over the fan worship. Maybe once he gets into it, he'll enjoy it. Maybe not. But I'd rather he manage to form an honest opinion, just as I'd like to form one of it. Then we can compare notes and see what we think without hostility.
