This is coming out next week and there's no thread for it so I figured I'd start one. The first Deus Ex is the best game ever made IMO, which makes Deus Ex 2 my most anticipated game by far. However, I'm really concerned about the sequel. Apparantly Ion Storm gave the WRONG guy control of DE2, and reaction to the game has been overwhelmingly negative so far.
Some of the stuff I'm not too concerned about, such as them "selling out" for console gamers. I plan to get this on the Xbox anyway. However, it also seems like they've taken some of the best parts of the first game and totally gutted them. The first Deus Ex had a long and epic quest, whereas this one is supposedly about 1/3 as long. All weapons use the same ammo, something that really has me scratching my head. Furthermore, I hear that headshots aren't any more damaging to enemies than pinky toe shots. The experience system is also gone, which was one of my favorite parts in the first game. Anyone play the demo of the PC version yet? Is it as awful as everyone says?
