And I feel this forum is mature enough that we can discuss these things here. Personally I'm quite curious about this because as a game designer I should probably know, but I'm too shy to actually try these games out :P
You can get 3d ones where you can control what's happening.

Not that I know.

All the main characters were seniors in high school, and the girl in question (there are three possible girls with three possible storylines) was a bullied girl and tortured by the rest of the class, so the storyline involved saving her, preventing her from committing suicide, and helping her conquer the troubles the rest of their peers give them. It ends with the main character and the girl dropping out of school and running away, essentially. The other characters involve drug abuse and other sorts of bad teenager situations. The sexual aspects of it were secondary to the story and artwork.
Wow that sounds pretty cool. What an amoral ending though, teaching the kids to drop out of high school! :lol:

Man I hate those kinds of games :D I'd prefer something like a Live action Larry. FUCK YEAH! that would rock. Why has no one made a Larry movie yet?!

What I would like to see in Deus Ex 3 is a musical intermezzo. All major characters line up and sing and dance.

Who would not buy a game that has that?!

Did "Giants" have a song and dance?

Best...and now that I think about it, only mix of FPS, RTS and Jet Ski Racing in a game ever.

I actually often think about how Deus Ex would be as an opera. Grand orchestral score, etc...I would pay for a ticket :-P.
But you should walk having internal dignity. Be a wonderful person who can dance pleasantly to the rhythm of the universe.

So let me get this straight - are you plain out suggesting **DEUS EX THE MUSCIAL!**

I can see the title in lights now! ...

Has anyone got Andrew Lloyd Webber's number??

Of course, Bob Page's death solo ("I will burn like the brightest star"), JC Denton and Morpheus in a duet about the nature of God and fame ("The Dream of Good Government"), and of course the audience favorite, the russian inspired chorus line of the Lucky Money Sailors ("I speel my drink!").

I'm just waiting for a certain person to say how that wouldn't be cyberpunk at all. More surrealist ;-)

Not Cyberpunk? It was never about the cyberpunk! It is about dance and music!
