    “Even though it came out pre-9/11, Deux Ex has a skyline without the trade towers; the game’s backstory reveals that they were destroyed by terrorists. Let’s hope the developers weren’t as prescient with the game’s pandemic plot line.” - 2009

    I want them to make the worm gun better. In the original it worked about as well as you would expect firing worms at people would do…

    I mostly want them to fix spawning, so I don’t see when enemies spawn.

    Otherwise I never had any particular issues with bugs, and don’t expect major gameplay changes since it’s remaster not remake.
