#DeusEx #4k - Hry
The NG Resonance AI is the most interesting character in the game. The way it's dialogue becomes increasingly intelligent and provocative the more you speak to it is a sign of good writing.
Really, that AI and Saman is the only well written dialogue in the entire game. Apart from those two and the voiceover during the endings this writing is a testament to how the developers underappreciate the players ability to comprehend information and narrative. Everything from stumbling into scientists who say they don't like you and doesn't call the guards but proceed to give you information that helps you, to Alex's apathic responses in every dialogue. It is plastered explanations comparable to a very bad anime.
Few games make me feel like my intelligence is insulted like this. And it is sad, because aside from mostly uninteresting factions and force fed alien plotline this is an OK story.
NG Resonance really predicted how Social Media would spy on consumers too
@@blacksebbeth l
NG Resonance is late stage when they apply a hologram to an Alexa and stick it everywhere in public.
I'm happy someone recorded this so I don't have to play it again XD
Exact same thoughts 😂😂
You didn't enjoy it? I was thinking of trying it uu
Oh come on, you could easily find better playthroughs of this game on CZcams, this one is worthless.
That dialogue with JC is really scary considering modern use of big data and ai, as that is exactly what they're trying to do.
It's really cool this game saw this coming years ago.
Video Game Movies and that, to me, is pure art. Capturing the essence of contemporary thoughts and movements in such a way, they'll turn out true.
I wish they had made that musical back then.
Lol no. JC's intentions are clearly good. And he's actually right. The reason the world sucks, is because humans are stupid and incapable of handling the power and responsibility of handling the world's problems. Human nature in its current form, corrupts everything.
An AI, knowledgeable of humanity and its issues, but devoid of human nature which restricts us from achieving full objectivity, would be a powerful tool in shaping the world for the better.
Real life silicon valley tech companies, are run by piece of shit humans who are becoming increasingly invasive of private data for no justifiable reason. Their intentions are not good lol.
What we really need is another Marcus Aurelius.
JC Denton is right. An AI that knows everything about everyone is no different form the traditional god. But people can't be told that, or they will never accept it, the need for mysticism is too great - never meet your heroes and all that.
Always a pleasure hearing voice actress Laura Bailey as Alex D again. What's also noteworthy is that other voice actors who worked on the American dub of Dragon Ball Z also voiced various characters in Deus Ex: Invisible War. For example, Chris Sabat-the voice of Vegeta-was male Alex D himself.
she also voice chun li from street fighter
@@Oldschool1943 That I also know. Now imagine female Alex D doing Spinning Bird Kicks after having one leg biomod too many.
It's terrible voice acting, you know that?
@@florianluo8131 Not as bad as "in the fresh," right?
@@tonyc.0451 as good you mean
3:29:44 wow, this convo with Leo moved me... we always knew he wasn't much of a brains, but boy, has he heart! Leo is such a good ole kid!
I know people don't like this game, but it has always been my favorite Deus Ex
mine too
yeah, my brothers a knob
The unique weapon thing is interesting. The heat bolt caster is a royal pain to get.
Problem is this was designed for consoles instead of pcs. In the end it it what it is. I do like that weapon mods don't take up general inventory space.
Chad Dumier is such a snake in this game. (Well, every member of the Illuminati in DX turns out being one.) JC and Paul helped him all the way in Deus Ex, putting their necks on the line. And now Chad simply called Paul a 'sworn terrorist'? How unabashed...
They follow different frameworks of organizational structures (one believes a small group can guide the rest of humanity, the other believes of true equality throught means of total control of people's minds by a benevolent tyrant, artificial intelligence).
To me they are all dreadful, as one of the endings adds a new "Dark Age" cycle, yet, allowing for new beginnings [restart button] but with the usual Fear system of a new enemy, tyranny and most basic pulsions of emotional intelligence & manipulations; as it has been since the dawn of humanity (Templar ending).
Another one is a Transhumanist/Eugenics/trader's wet dream in a slowly recovering, radioactive world (Omar ending) while their take is to maintain total control over people's Free Will into one Collective Hive-Mind (Marxist-Feminist ideology?), which makes humans become nothing else than machines, like the one that controls & regulate them.
The Dumier option in continuing with a pyramidal hierarchy of a small elite holding Control over all aspects of Society (similar to the Omar Administration), hoping their overall guidance (manipulation of the course to follow), will turn out to be better, with the next generation of pre-selected bred, educated into their own ideology, chosen leaders (Illuminati ending).
And finally the Denton (Light-transhumanism) ending: about human minds who can communicate with the HELIOS A.I., but, via means of forced chipped biomodifications, also the lack of privacy to your own thoughts, and the instantaneous democratic resolution by AI mediation, could turn into a big universal slavery system if the A.I. goes rogue (JC Denton Blue Beam uplink). Like in "I, Robot".
All alternatives are risky => Besides what was said for the Helios option: What if the Omar encounter a bio/cybervirus that kills em all? (like the cloned lizards who could die from 1 of them being sick). What if some or most of the Elite leaders become Dark Tryad archetypes (Psychopaths+Machiavellian+Narcissists)? and ditch their ancestors way of guiding (like what happened with Bob Page & Walton Simmons in Deus Ex 1). Same could happen with the Templar Ending or not.
@@City-Hunter "total control over people's Free Will into one Collective Hive-Mind (Marxist-Feminist ideology?)" - lol you're betraying a right wing bias with that
@@SaturnineXTS and that's just fine.
@@Jackson352 not at all, biases such as this lead to looking for patterns that aren't there
@@City-Hunter I think somewhere in the game JC implies people still maintain their individuality - they just know what everyone else is thinking. So it's more like brains interacting with a super-processor. I think the bigger moral question is if it's a violation of freedom to take away everybody's ability to lie and keep secrets or if like it was mentioned - it would be irrelevant.
Amazing Editing. This took a lot of work. Thanks!
At least as a movie, DX2 Invisible War is excellent (nice story). If it wasn't for the gameplay and the level designs, it would have been a great game.
They should never have designed the game with focus on releasing it on consoles. Severely hampered the overall design.
@@wikus2411 and the same can be said for Cyberpunk 2077 with the old gen consoles... but I guess, just like for Deus Ex 2, that would have make them lose too much money....
@@grognougnou The level design and gameplay in CP77 are still great though compared to Invisible War
difference being cyberpunks story is a real snoozefest compared to Deus Ex
Thanks. As a non English user, I had quite felt overwhelmed to the fast pacing and non repeated conversations.
Thanks so much for this. I've been trying to make it through this game for the 90th time and I just can't get into it. I freakin' PRE-ORDERED it and I've still to play it. This is a way better experience for me. :)
No it's not, this "cinematic playthrough" is one if not THE worst playthrough of this game available on CZcams, you miss MANY key moments and the player doesn't care about anything, makes me wonder why they even bothered recording a video if they care that little about this game, and they obviously play in easy mode which removes all challenge and tension from the game, but even so, this player sucks ass, they are bad at everything, this is plainly pathetic to watch.
im trying to get into it too and meh it just doesnt hit the same as the original or human revolution, i played those games to death
Did anyone else think the begging looked like a better fleshed out PS2 intro?
Thx for saving this memories.
Great stuff. Your annotated gameplay with cutscenes is the best editing for a game movie. Fantasy RPG next.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm currently working on a new video. And I will keep uploading more game movies.
Yo this is very cool! I've first encountered this concept by the name of "der Spiel-film", on a german youtube channel called BlackwolfGLM, and was really wishing more people would pick up the concept. Wish you all the good luck!
This is sort of next level iteration of a let's play, where you care a lot more about the athmosphere that the game can gift onto you.
>game is called "Invisible War"
>Game starts with huge bomb going off in public space
>Invisible War
done by gold-rich extremists.
Dum dum
I for one enjoyed playing this sequel.
That god damned Bud Pucket, again....
29:32 - remixed Kidneythieves so badass
I think the bassline is from Trickster - same key exactly
let's see:
gameplay - medium
atmosphere - weak
story - decent
Deus Ex 1:
gameplay - great
atmosphere - fantastic!!
story - This is what we're made for, isn't it? This is why we exist! All right! Let's do it!
Deus Ex II:
gameplay: mediocre
atmosphere: great
story: fantastic
Deus Ex I:
gameplay: fantastic
atmosphere: fantastic
story: fantastic
audio cuts out @46:58 doesn't reappear until 47:42
Yes that is because CZcams flagged that part for copyright. There is a song playing in the background.
@@VideoGameMovies85 so yt hires people to stare and watch every second of every ones video to make sure theres no copyright..wow that's overkill yt is to strict
@@victorc8804 No, they use a fuckhuge database consisting of advanced artificial intelligence (likely DeepMind) alongside heuristics and transient-detection software to cut that middleman out by detecting tonal similarities, metadata and the possibility of noise profiling using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform, a mathematically complex equation). The strict hardasses (because even a small, low quality sample is violation of copyright to them) when they take part in copyright claims when phonorecord companies like BMI/Musical socieities come to see it matches music in their database contact Google (you can do this yourself if its truly a mistake). That being said, having the inability to contest this gives you two choices: get rid of the audio by muting that section (which if its throughout the entire video, it fucks many music videos or fan videos) or get rid of the video (most often happens with the refusal being a copyright strike and/or forced removal. Very draconian but dificult to resolve for Musicians, end-users and Google.)
Personally, my belief is to reinvent the entire copyright law like Helios.
Many thanks for compiling the cutscenes from this obscure video game. Although this game isn't everyone's favourite Deus Ex game, Invisible War still remains relevant, mostly thanks to its predictions about today's heavy use of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technology. Heck, most of the voiced dialogue sound as if it was AI-generated!
Thank you for this. IW may have mediocre gameplay mechanics but its plot is nice and a proper conclusion to the DX storyline. Also i'm glad you picked Female Alex voiced by the great voice actress Laura Bailey
Glad that there are others who know that female Alex D was voiced by Laura Bailey, who was originally Kid Trunks in Dragon Ball Z. Hope that you also know that Chris Sabat voiced male Alex D himself. He's Vegeta, for crying out loud.
Laura Bailey, a great voice actor? Really! I beg to differ. 3:15:14
I never played with the female protagonist, so it's interesting to see that option here. The male protagonist's voice actor was quite bad in my opinion, though.
no , its awful ... its so simple. You take an adult take on future tech and power and then add cartoon personality to it. Theres "dumbing down" mechanics, this is dumbing down dialogue. Very rare, Im guessing there were different writers or the writers were heavily paid to do something different.
@@mikevidzdev I agree, IW was an inferior game in every aspect. That's why I never got around to play with the second protagonist option. Actually I didn't even bother to achieve the different endings, I just skimmed through the cutscenes, because I was just fed up and insulted with this game.
my favorite deus ex game - make this film please hollywood
I always enjoyed the rocket launcher with its user guided secondary fire mode. Slap on a range mod and you can hit everything in a level from one position...almost. In the last area, I hop over the wall on the outside, aim up and fire. Sometimes I can get partially into the aquinus building. At least 30 seconds of flight time.
Nice rocket dodging at the end of there by the way :D
3:14:09 - UNATCO music reminisces :) sweeet :)
46:57 On my end the audio takes a total dive, for the entire length of the conversation (between the citizen and the Order Seeker, next to the couch). Audio comes back about forty seconds later. Anyone else get this issue?
I’m guessing the music got claimed
I could listen to the Omar all night
3:24:21 your hidden aggression is unsettling
The Templars stand in the way of progress.

Love the sniper rifle in this game was so satisfying to critical hit them in the noggin
3:15:48 - 3:20:55
4:01:47 - 4:03:16
Good parts. (in my opinion)
Not a perfect game but unique in its way.
Good Story continuation of of its precessor.
LEO JANKWOSKI, NO IDEA YOU WANTED TO PLAY A GAME
WOW - I forgot how good that talk with JC is. Yep, a loving consciousness that connected rather than assimilating all beings and which had perfect empathetic insight into each person's experiences would be a freedom-maintaining facilitator of World Peace, a true utopia. It would also be optimal to allow individuals to choose to not be integrated. Integrated individuals would just need to make time in their lives to interact with these tribes of the disconnected, and perhaps to offer them free resources, ensuring that across generations, however the non-integrated might breed like crazy and form new societies far and wide, they would continue to see the integrated peoples not as a threat. That's kind of the principal the parliament of the world's religions and some other groups use: making time for regular *humanizing* interactions between diverse peoples.
Your solution would either create an underclass or outright destroy the integrated humans because either JC-Helios is smart enough to predict non-integrated people (which would render them not integrating moot) OR non-integrated people would have the power of deceit and easily destroy everything.
Tell Carth Onassi that we found Bastila...
The stun prod was definitely better in the first game.
3:15:00 The level of voice acting is just horrendous in spots
It was worse in the original.
If this game could be redesigned with aspects from the first game for a pc...
Far worse than the original but that isn't saying much given how extraordinary the original was. I think this game still raised a few interesting existential questions which is what DX is really all about. The combat felt a bit lackluster and the characters were a bit weak but all in all still an alright game. It's just bad by comparison.
I feel they did the opposite of what Ubisoft did with Assassin's Creed. Assassins Creed II murdered the soul of the original, but greatly improved gameplay, so almost everyone loved it. Deus Ex: IW respected the soul of the original but murdered its gamplay, so almost everyone hated it.
Nice work, the game itself ruined both my mood and my hopes for enjoying this game. This satisfied my gnawing need to "complete" the game. Sadly still the weakest entry of all four games.
Ka-Booom!!!!
still better story than Twilight
3:16:28
Amazing soundtrack, incredibly atmospheric levels, great story, lots of freedom. This game was raw, unabashed win in almost every conceivable way except for the most important one: gameplay. That was just okay.
"amazing soundtrack"? This game barely has any music! 😧
I'm glad you chose the female option I don't know the male guy always bothered me like he put all his skills his hair
1:55:02 - same could be said about normal human being, only scale is a bit different
3:42:09 wut ?
Good night 🤳🏻
Thank you🙏🏻
why do they stand like that thou
So wait, which was the good ending?
I put them all in there so the viewer can decide which one.
This is Deus Ex, not Dungeons and Dragons.
This is like the Mass effect andromeda of Deus Ex.
At least this game has good and charismatic characters.
Andromeda had none, and the story was extremely weak
Not at all a fair comparison. Having played both, DX2 felt like an over-anticipated but functional and reasonably entertaining 8/10 whereas ME Andromeda felt like a lazy, buggy, preening vanity project by a studio which had the world at it's feet after three wildly-successful games and chose to piss it's time and money away instead. DX2 felt like a console-friendly letdown compared to DX1. ME:A felt like pre-paying for a 10/10 hooker who's actually 5/10 and steals your wallet on the way out the door. DX2 was "this franchise is too niche; we want more people to like this franchise". ME:A was "we're now popular enough to where we can start pimping this franchise out for minimal effort and maximum cash."
Also, not for nothin', but how can you throw shade on a game that's literally 15 years behind the thing it's being compared to? A much better comparison would be between DX2 and ME2, and I'd argue they are similarly dumbed down and console-ified versions of superior games.
@@jasoncarswell7458 In my opinion this game just felt awkward.
@@elbashar7589 I don't disagree. A real letdown in many ways, for sure. What I'm willing to waste the time to argue AGAINST is the idea that it was anywhere nearly as cynical, greedy and lazy as Mass Effect: Andromeda.
@@jasoncarswell7458 I just feel like it doesnt feel like deus ex the only way I can justify myself Is by saying mass effect had a good thing going till the sequel.
The pacing for the beginning is sooooo bad
I feel like Invisible War was the polar opposite of Human Revolution. Human Revolution perfectly brought back the gameplay of the original, but lacked everything else (mediocre soundtrack, NPCs who feel more like background noise than individuals, corny instead of plausible near future universe, etc.). Deus Ex Invisible War brought back everything that was great about the original, except its gameplay.
Lol Deus Ex Human Revolution is the superior OST of all deus ex games. You are just strung up on nostalgia
for the successor to deus ex.... they didn't try very hard.... and that unexpressive robotic voice acting...
I hope Invisible War gets descanonized, It doesn't age very well comparing to the Original and Human Revolution.
That was done on purpose by game writers
Yeah, because DX1's voice dialog was flawless and emotional, right? Jeeeeesus christ, you kids have short memories.
Really disappointing, I loved this game however so much has been skipped that this must be a speed run!
Actually the gameplay for this game is rather fun when you play it, worth finishing once. But the story is... just laughably and unabashedly inferior to Deus Ex. Try thinking about it as a stand-alone game simply called 'Invisible War' and it's a good one-off in my opinion.
A truly crappy game. Thanks for the shortcut to just the story bits. Hard to sit through. It has none of the atmosphere and the interesting levels of the first one.
Looks ultimate boring ^^ Dx1 is better
Why did you subject yourself to this game
What an absolute disgrace of a game
