    Deus Ex is a stealth game. You aren't actually supposed to fight people until you get the lightsaber

      You can play it like a tactical shooter if you raise guns high enough

      Deus Ex is not hard is arguably one of the easiest immersive sims ever made.

        playing it that way is ultra lame with how awful the guns are. The GEP gun and Sniper rifle are the only ones that can hit the broad side of a barn and you don't need a single point of investment to make them worthwhile

      and you're supposed to use lockpicks on doors... until you get the lightsaber
      and you're supposed to use multitools on electronic doors... until you get the lightsaber
      and you're supposed to pick your fights carefully... until you get the lightsaber

    Deus Ex is painfully easy if you play it stealthy.

    Deus Ex is only hard for the first handful of hours or so when you are still learning and grappling with the controls. It gets even easier towards the end because it's still a RPG and like all RPGs you can easily get overpowered late game.

    I could see Battery Park being difficult if you have nothing to give the child you start next to, so he doesn't tell you about the back entrance or the code to it. You'd have to also not look around and not find the keypad which isn't very hidden.

    How is this game hard? The dragon sword and the fully modded silenced pistol is like a cheat code in deux ex.

      But Deus Ex is easy even on realistic. Just put 1 more level into pistols and you're effective even if you stupidly run and gun in a stealth rpg.
      The controls may seem weird to a zoomer but you can rebind everything to your liking.

      You can find more food in the shanty town, and even if you don't you can find a datacube inside the castle. Or just use one of your 20 hacking tools. Or use your lockpicks around the area and hope you find the second entrance.
      And even if you somehow managed to dump them all into the water in the previous level you can just skip that objective and head straight to the subway to continue.
      Skill issue.

      I didn't even realize you could sneak in the back. Just charged the subway manually by sniping the NSF agents. Don't remember how I got past the tripmines,

        Yeah, you can just go in through the sewers and massacre all the terrorists on the platform. Also, you can use EMP grenades (which the game gives you for this mission) to short out the tripwires and pass through.

      It's not unless you're a paint-drinking moron who charges at the NSF terrorists in the first level blasting with his 10mm.

    I'm starting to realize that either Ganker is dumb. Or I'm smarter than I thought with some of these responses.

    Don't think there was ever a single time I struggled in this game. But maybe it's because I'm the type of person to try and build a stack of blocks to get into the castle from above even though the front door was open (picrel)

    anyway the game is so easy and straightforward, that I would literally double back to take the other "option" sometimes just to see if I would get more loot. Explored everything as thoroughly as I cared for all the time, fought almost everything, and stealthed almost everything. I was maxed on all lockpics, multitools, LAMs, GEP rockets, pistol, shotgun, sniper ammo, fricking enough EMPs because I never used them for lasers, I'd just blow lasers up with a convenient TNT or barrel, or stack convenient blocks to get over them. I actually liked the game quite a bit until I was so overloaded on resources that I legit couldn't pick anything up, and exploring for rewards was the best part of the game, so it just died for me at that point.

    The game always conveniently gives you a decent amount of options. Even when it only gives you 1 or 2. It makes it super obvious what you have to do, by having a convenient set of blocks to stack or something. If the game was better balanced, it could indeed be one of the greatests for me. I just like that consistent way it constantly presents little obstacles for you to use your tools to overcome and progrss further.

      It is. Board is full of moronic third worlders now. In this case though I think OP was just getting a thread going. Nobody else really thinks it's hard.
