Oh. Well that's a drag. No wonder people don't like this game as much.
And also they made it mostly for consoles, so forget about body based health there. Also, because they wanted to have shiniest graphics possible, they didn´t have much hardware resources left for other things and thus turned this game into corridor shooter, where every map (even hub maps, like Cairo and Seattle) is just a set of tiny corridors, unlike first game, in which were big maps.
And it´s so badly programmed, that each time you change map (enter in another location, start new game or load saved game), the entire game restarts due to bad memory management. But this one stuff was made due to publisher Eidos rushing the game release and not giving devs the time to repair bugs like this.
So yes, I´d say if you play this game as corridor shooter, you may have a fun with it (but prepare for lots of loading screens due tiny maps). But if you try to play it as Deus ex, you will be dissapointed alot.
And fun fact: Deus ex invisible war isn´t the only game which Warren Spector ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, he also ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up (with another veteran devs) Underworld: Ascendant, which was supposed to be spiritual successor of Ultima underworld, another old good game.
Also, the patch is here.
And in my opinion, if you are looking for something that expanded Deus Ex formula, you may check The nameless mod for first Deus Ex. It isn´t so serious like the vanilla game, takes place in just "virtual reality" (internet forum) unlike vanilla game, which took place in real world, but it really took the things which were great and made it much better, like actual way to choose for which faction you will be working for with real consenquences, etc.
Also it's not at all a bad game, it's different in that there was a deliberate effort to make it more accessible than Deus Ex was, which might or might not make it more fun for you, depending on your preferences. Either way, I think it's fair to say that it got an unreasonable amount of hate from neckbearded purists such as Reginald who think roleplaying as a nanoaugmented super agent who needs to stack boxes to jump over waist high fences was the peak of videogaming.
Deus Ex 1 doesn't "support" mods either, i.e. there's no public API, documentation and developer support for modders, and yet there are a bunch of mods for it.
But seeing your comment, you seem as one of those casual idiots, who just like dumbed down games and don´t even know what are they are supposed to be about. Because this game was stripped of everything that made the first game great and also you get augmentations in the FIRST locations, unlike first game, where you actually had to earn it.
But yeah, go playing back your dumbed down games for idiots, with no challenge.
EDIT: Also learn how to read English language properly. You don´t even get point of previous post, because it isn´t just about RPG features that were removed.
Yep, unless topic creator needs help with something more or actually discuss something, I´m outta here, because this topic goes nowhere and only attract trolls.
Also, if you don´t like something, you can again change it by mods. So for example people could make more bigger maps instead of tiny ones, change gameplay to be on par with first Deus ex, etc. and this game could them maybe become much popular than it is now, if the modding would allow that.
And also, in case of some bugged games, like games from Bethesda, modding is neccessary because in this case people can even fix bugs, which developers weren´t able to fix. And thus make the game actually playlable.
I've got almost 500 hours on the original game. Only about 100 hours are with mods.
The point is anyway that the main criticisms people had with Invisible War were not with a lack of mod support. I severely doubt you're going to find that anywhere when you look at Invisible War bashing threads. Would it have been nice? Sure. It's not like it's totally devoid of mod support anyway, it just has a crappy engine and hasn't been half as popular as the original so it barely has a modding community.
