why is the greatest game ever made?
-GREAT story
-awesome main character
-different paths to take
-can finish the game withoutkilling anyone (even the bosses)
-this game grounds yyou with realism and events that happened for real or will happen in the future, and that is why i think this is a unique game
-AWESOME OST, one of the best out there
-interesting side characters
-different ways to appoach the mission (stealth through different tunnels or rampage)
-the graphics still look good for a 17 year old game
-difficult choice in the end
-there a 3 sides (or factions) and all 3 have different and interesting ideologies about this world
-good dialogue system
-grid system for the inventory
-you feel like a cyborg
-you can pick up bodies instead of dragging them like DE:HR and DE:MD
-theres no map (it can be given in certain missions) so you have to use your notes
-all computers can be accessed without hacking them but by finding clue or notes in hidden spots-
Huge maps to explore

GMDX or Deus Ex Revision should do the trick. I'm currently playing them in parallel with the original.

5 minutes lol. Impossible? There are many games with pixel graphics nowadays and Deus Ex looks better than all of them :P

Seriously I don't think it's that bad even today, compared to Quake 1-2 or (Half Life 1 for example). Unreal engine 1 was a miracle back then and it aged well.
But come on, this game is a classic, you can't miss it.

Mmmm, may I suggest something that might help?

Well, this video (possible spoilers, I don't remember tbh) convinced me to finally play that game. The graphics and the gameplay both scared me off a few times, but once you get used to them, they (for me at least) start looking kind of cool actually :D

The man's got a good quality channel. He's also made videos on the other Deus Ex games (other than Mankind Divided).

this guide is pretty good https://steamcommunity.com/app/6910/discussions/0/613936673444809191/
you will still need to install manually and search for some stuff.

sweetfx or reshade are also a nice extra for graphics.

Have you tried Deus Ex: Revision by any chance? As someone who never played the original Deus Ex, I'm wondering if I should mod the GOTY version or just go with the Revision.

You may want to consider going with GMDX first, see https://www.reddit.com/r/Deusex/comments/5lur5v/gmdx_vs_deus_ex_revision/

GMDX -- complete overhaul with the intention of staying true to the design philosophy of the original.

Thanks, I didn't know of it. GMDX seems closer to what I was looking for.

installed and uninstalled, just like gmdx. i didn't like how they changed maps by adding gates and fences for example. <_<

So GMDX does that also, I guess there is no easy way.

Playing it at the moment for the very first time with GMDX mod. For some reason I've missed the franchise in my childhood and told myself I can't play Human revolution without giving the classic a try before. Sio far it's quite good, still at the beginning. Feels fair in difficulty and the variety how to approach things is kinda enjoyable. Reminds me of my first Thief playthroughs. I can imagine how much of an impact it had when it was released. And honestly graphics look way better than expected.

Btw. your question confused me at first, saying the game is 'worth less than a Dollar' with 'HELL YES!!' as positive answer sounded like a kind of an insult. Then I got it ^^ Sure it's a diamond!

I admit I only ever put much time into the PS2 version of the original (keyboard controls can be painful with my joints) which had some changes and enhancements, but I do think this is a great game even now.

Shame I don't own IW for XBox so I can play that (as poorly rated as it is).

Well.. I might be too young to enjoy game like this..
I do enjoy playing some of the old games I played when I was kid that had horrible graphics..
But for me, at this point in my life, graphics are as important to me as is storyline and physics..

is it worth less than a Dollar?

That question can be understood in a lot of ways. For example, people who think the game is worthless would also, quite literally, think it is worth 'less than a dollar'. While you probably mean if it's worth to buy when the price is already less than a dollar.
I bet many people who like the game would say 'no, it's worth more than a dollar'.

Tried it. Don't care about the graphics (damn, I still play PS1 games). I couldn't get into it. Maybe I don't have time to invest. Maybe it isn't my type of game. Don't know. Will probably give it one more shot at some time.

I was the same. Tried it a few years ago. Couldn't... Just couldn't... But I've learned that I should give a second chance to games/movies, especially if I initially tried them out/watched them while being tired.

Oh, the original Deus Ex :) I see a lot of commenters think it's a shitty game, that genuinely surprises me O.o In my opinion, it might be the best game in the DE series (although yes, it has its flaws).

Still, Deus Ex remains a masterpiece in every way you see it :P

Deus Ex shipped over a year before 9-11 and opened with the towers not just being attacked but completely leveled.

Print media mocked it as 'internet paranoia' as a game.

I remeber there was also something similar in a Uncle Scrooge comics in the 90s, where the flying deposit crushed two giant scryscrapers right in the middle.
