Deus Ex is a terrible game. It's a game embraced by faux pseudo intellectuals who think they're in on some big secret but they're not. Deus Ex has is the gaming equivalent of a Dan Brown novel.
So from your point of view, everyone playing Quake1 are senseless bunnyhopping serial-killers.
Good job IronHead!
Fact is, people play it because it has a storyline...

It also fails on the level of a FPS as the actual combat elements of the game were substandard.
You play it from a 1st person angle! You shoot stuff! Thus it's an fps!
Where you went wrong here, I don't want to know...

System Shock 2 suffers from the same syndrome but manages to claw back some credibility due to rose tinted glasses syndrome.
Again with the "syndrome" accusation. Once again, according to your own view, people playing this game really think that rogue AI's are creating semi-sentient species...
SO, according to your view of the universe, we should all praise Jack Thompson and give him an award for being a genious...
You really don't like games that have a different story than "save earth from invading stuff", do you?!
But then again, you rarely like anything, like that poor kid at INA who made a spaceship - you know, the kid you flamed because his spaceship "had wings"!

with plenty of testosterone soaked weaponary.
More like testosterone-lacking side-comments - The weaponry in Duke3D was lacking too.. Liked the laser-mines and pipe bombs though!
No seriously, I like the bubblegum comment, but the "rip your head off" killed the game for me...
