Nostalgia and You

So I have no clue why- maybe it was the four hours it took me to get bioshock running (turns out the game's audio engine doesn't work with the weird creative audio usb sound card I was using- stupid me, and also doesn't work with realtek sound if another game installs a virtual driver on your computer- like Dirt3 does) or maybe it is the summertime, but I've reinstalled Deus Ex.

So I have no clue why- maybe it was the four hours it took me to get bioshock running (turns out the game's audio engine doesn't work with the weird creative audio usb sound card I was using- stupid me, and also doesn't work with realtek sound if another game installs a virtual driver on your computer- like Dirt3 does) or maybe it is the summertime, but I've reinstalled Deus Ex.
I've applied the HTDP, New Vision Mod, that enb thing and a dx9 renderer, played with my config settings so they all work nice and have it going. Of course, every so often the graphics model crashes and I have to alt+enter to windowed mode to restart the graphics driver- but that's only a minor headache considering Deus Ex in modded form looks actually pretty good. By comparison- there are small effects in Deus Ex (Unreal 1 tech) that actually match the effects in DNF- not that DNF is a great looking game, but that's more to point out when that game should have come out.
If you don't believe me find a waterfountain in each game. No way they should both look the same- but they do.
Anyways- I love Deus Ex. THat's really the point- playing this game reminds me of the many times I have played the game- reminds me of the many times I have re-installed the game. Also reminds me of the crazy things the story does to you the first time you play. And so, 12 year old spoilers ahoy!
Anyways- now I tend to do all the things I know to do in every level- instead of slacking off on exploring. So when you first get to hell's kitchen, I always visit the MJ12 facility- something you can do on your second visit, which is a really cool experience- especially how there are different goings on each time. And, of course, ironically so, a mission played out totally different this current playthrough than ever before. So yeah, this game is pretty damn good. And with all the mods written for the game's look, it holds up relatively well. So I guess some of you will go re-install the game .... again, but if you do- take the time to play it and upgrade the look. it's totally worth the while and for me, brings me back to the depth games can have.
Makes me excited and worried about DXHR all the same- I mean i'm hearing this game might be pretty crap or pretty much like Dx2, which would suck alot...
