Eagarly anticipating 8.1...

This is the only way to play Deus Ex now, impossible to go back.

Couldn't seem to reply unless logged in!

If only the genre name 'Immersive Sim' was as ubiquitous as 'FPS'! And if only more games had writers like Sheldon Pacotti!

But rest assured I am telling anyone who will listen about the mod, and hope that it receives the recognition it deserves. Even playing v7 compared to the previous GMDX version is like a fresh game, so I am glad there is a v8 to look forward to at some point after I complete this playthrough!(The difficulty makes the game last so much longer too) If only more games were designed like this; as simulations at heart which truly immerse players in a virtual world, rather than rehashing the same old 'gamey' conventions!

So far through the playthrough (I am currently at Brooklyn Naval Shipyard - health running low, having to watch every bullet/lockpick/biocell...loving it!) I noticed very little in the way of bugs/issues, but perhaps it would be of use to point out the few I found? (Apologies if this is not the preferred forum for this)

- Minor graphical issue where some textures (sides of some vents mainly)appear pixelated green/purple. Only saw this happen once though.

- Got stuck in the vent/ladder facing the troop barracks, near the lab with MiB and after downloading the Dragon Tooth ROM in Versalife

- After blowing up the UC in Versalife, the spiderbots do not always come out of their vents. Sometimes they seem to get stuck inside and not attack the player.

- At the old NSF Warehouse level after sending the NSF signal, I found I had wandered off the map area - as in, I seemed to have walked through a wall and was outside of the intended playable area and was walking about the 'background' area of the map.

- No fight between NSF and UNATCO outside the Ton during first Hell's Kitchen level. Think there was one NSF troop near the park.

-When MJ12 attack the Lucky Money, the seem to appear inside the club immediatly rather than arriving from the mall - ie they do not fight the Military Police patrolling the mall but instead appear directly inside.

I only point these observations out hoping they will be of some use, not as criticism! Having played Deus Ex, I went through System Shock 2, Vampire Bloodlines, Thief, and STALKER - the only games I've found that come close to the Deus Ex experience imho - only to find no other games in existence with the same kind of design philosophy evident in their gameplay. I had given up on finding more, until I discovered GMDX!
