Yes

No, it tackled the issues and ideas that were brought up a long time ago, but now are more evident than they were 20 years ago
Dominic Cooper
like?

No because anyone can do this and has done this throughout standard cyberpunk fare, because the themes are common talking points in the genre.
Chase Long
Well they predicted onions food

AI governance superseding the nation states, with a twist of AI being treated not as a tool, but ultimate power of judgement free of man's corruption
Corporations getting more real power than nations, without actually taking the laws or obligations of those nations
Classic man vs machine on multiple levels (non augs vs augs, nano augs vs augs, nano augs vs non augs)
Alligators in the sewers
etc yada yada
None of this really was brought up the first time in Deus Ex
Liam Nguyen
we've always had onions in food user
Ryan Jones
They were brought up for the first time in a video game.

Our reality is way worse

It turns out conspiracy theories are necessarily false
Kevin Gonzalez
They predicted the food that's been around for thousands of years and commercially available for decades!?!? My god man... that's unbelievable!

The writers gave free rein to their deepest fears and paranoia for the future.
Of course you have to keep your distance, but a lot of the dialogues in this game come close to realpolitik where the most vulnerable classes are preyed and milked upon.
Ayden Ramirez
No. It was based on conspiracy theories that were factually correct. Deus Ex wasn't prophetic, conspiracy theorists were just right.

Deus Ex? More like Deuce Sex, because this game is fucking shit.
I start the game, and some old guys are talking about some boring shit. Something about a plague, I guess. The only cool part was when they were talking about me being a supersoldier.
My hopes were dashed as soon as the game started. Considering I'm a "nano-aug" (what the fuck does that even mean?) the fact that I die in a handful of pistol shots is shitty.
Guns and melee in this game are both broken. It takes forever to line up a shot and bullets do laughable damage.
I couldn't even bear to finish playing the first level. Fuck this game, and fuck Yea Forums for calling this turd a great game.

Every idea in the game has been articulated more thoroughly in fiction earlier. Nothing in the game, setting-wise, is remotely original.

It is for a video game. Certainly does a much better job than that hack Kojima tried to do with MGS2.
