yeah i didn't really like it either. I just killed everyone I saw, no point sneaking around or bartering with people. most I did was hacking the cameras and even then it was kind of annoying. it's not like theres a system like the masquerade in vtmb, i don't think i ever got penalized for not killing civilians and the goons

The most first world of first world problems. I’m sure there is a shitty mod or something that changes the models…. I can’t even remember the website everyone uses and I’m to lazy to look at my bookmarks for you but u can just google it if ur at all serious.

Just play your current day slop zoomie.
No need to bother with unc games.

Uncslop just isn't worth it. Don't torture yourself, play what you enjoy and avoid whatever hurts your eyes.

Yes.

Those graphics are fine and you suck dicks with your arse!

I appreciate the dated graphics of yesterday over the AI slop of today.

Limitations always force artists to make better art.

>>12507470
maybe. but i'd wager people just forgot about the principles like classic themes and tropes. something like thief and how good it is has nothing to do with graphical and technical limitation but instead applying innovative systems along with a classic narrative trope. sure, you're right, and i enjoy pre-rendered backgrounds, but let's not pretend your comment isn't reductionist

>>12507383
It's not your fault zoomer. Your generation has been fried by tiktok and parents giving you ipads at 3. Yes old games will look dated sometimes, but its honestly something youll get used to and grow to appreciate when you factor in the limitations and times these games came out in. You have to learn to put your brain into that context when you see dated visuals.

>>12507383
Just install a texture pack retard. There are multiple graphical overhauls for this game. The game is from around the year 2000. What do you expect?

giving this comment a Like

deus ex got criticized for having meh graphics in 2000 so I don't really know what to tell you. the focus of the game was on interactivity and scale, really refined art assets just weren't in the cards for the project.

>>12507383
OP here.
deus ex graphics are fine. i was just looking at the mirror.

This applies to any game, or anything really.

Unreal1 engine was fine and peak.
Unreal2 was uncanny valley shit.

>>12507552
the thief games are much more aesthetically sound than deus ex, not really a good comparison.

>>12507546
disagree. deus ex might be technically superior in one way or another but hl has better lighting and composition which you would expect of a much more linear game.

You're supposed to play games from that era at 800x600, or 1024x748 at MOST
At modern resolution it's a given that you're gonna be seeing smeared ass textures and harsh polygons then you'll go on the internet and say "ew old 3d graphics are so crunchy"

>>12507576
that's either revision or the psx version

>>12507383
Deus Ex has some of the highest quality character texture painting in the history of the medium, the same artist went on to do the textures for Daikatana and Quake 3. I still have no idea how he achieve the look.

>>12507383
Play a good game. Even for 2000 this shit was fugly. Literal PS1 games had better graphics.

Here's an example from Daikatana (same texture artist) it's just a unique style that's like if someone took western comic book exaggeration, the hyper detailed maximization of Simon Bisley, and rendered it all by hand with ultra realistic digital painting... you get this really special look. It's a special blend of gritty masculinity and chunky industrial technology that made those early 2000's sci fi games stand out.

Video game art direction peaked in the Late 90's and early 00's.

Deus Ex has an extremely uneven visual quality. It looks pretty good in some parts but puke inducing in the others. The animations are also terrible. I guess you could blame it on the scope and the primitive engine and tools used. They also only had 14 people working on a game this size. Plus they didn't have the experience Rockstar and Bethesda had in making open world games.
