  A few things to point out:<br>1. The Baton is never mentioned and it is a very effective tool to one hit knock out bad guys. <br>2. There is a tutorial level in Deus Ex called &quot;Training.&quot; This gives the player a good idea what is to come and how to complete objectives, test some weapons, etc.

  Every time you mention Deus Ex someone reinstalls it.

  While Liberty Island may be one of the best introduction levels that FPS gaming has ever seen, the tutorial level is also one of the best FPS gaming has seen. It&apos;s very comprehensive and I think the first level was designed with it in mind (but still playable without).

  One thing;<br>You say enviro training is useless than go on to say the hazmat suit had no effect on the electrical beams in the garage;<br>Couple of things about that:<br>Environmental training is one of the cheapest skills in the game the only one that i think is cheaper is swimming;<br>At high or max rank things like Hazmat suits and other consumable suits like the Thermoptic camo <br>(A throw back to Ghost in the Shell) and the Ballistic vest become extremely powerful and in some ways down right broken.<br><br>Normally you would need a Aug to cut poison rad and electric damage but with a Hazmat with a cheap investment you get extremely high resistances for a quite a long time at max rank. (I think its 85% flat reduction at max)<br><br>The ballistic vest cuts bullet damage and bladed damage down by a similar amount and again has very high duration while being a rather common pickup in the game along with the hazmat.<br><br>Therm Camo gives you not only cloak but radar cloak as well making you totally invisible to all enemy types at once for a short period of time (Like 20s) While not common you come across a few in the game and don&apos;t have to burn energy extremely fast like the cloak does.<br><br>The rebreather with max rank negates the need for aqualung and swimming entirely. <br><br>On Hard/Realistic difficulty&apos;s the vests are actually extremely strong Ballistic protection aug actually stacks with the vest, Along with Hazmat and Environmental resistance aug netting you a insane 92% damage reduction. Even in realistic with 200% more damage dealt by enemies these combined with regen aug and Aggressive defence system makes you almost invulnerable.<br><br>By the end of the game JC can literally be super fast near invulnerable DPS god that can take out tens of enemy&apos;s at once with ease.<br><br>The suits are vastly underestimated in how good they really are, And down right broken in some circumstances. <br>With that setup you can facetank a Bot and melee it to death on realistic difficulty. <br><br>Just another added layer in DX and playstyle overall, There&apos;s a reason its widely regarded as one of the best games ever made.<br><br>PS20 does actually suck though :) It&apos;s almost a troll weapon.

  You forgot another tactic that is presented later in the game:<br><br>Come on and LAM!

  People complaining about Deus Ex not having a tutorial? They actually have a good one where you do several courses in your base. You learn how to use several weapons, have to successfully complete a stealth course, hack objects, lockpick things, etc. Then it all culminates in a final challenge that&apos;s potentially lethal where you put all the above skills to use in whichever way you prefer, handholding off.

  &quot;Both participants said they wanted a tutorial&quot;<br><br>This is why Deus Ex has one of the most elaborate tutorials of any video game. Did you miss it? It&apos;s accessible from the main menu.<br><br>&quot;This is a difference between a sandbox and an open world&quot;.<br><br>Deus Ex isn&apos;t an open world. That&apos;s not what that term means. Open world refers to a lack of loading screens and distinct cut-off levels. Deus Ex uses a nonlinear, multiple-approach style of level design.

  A few years ago at Comic-Con I was waiting for Line H to file into the building when my friend pointed out Warren Spector standing nearby. Very classy man. I apologized for bothering him and geeking out, he said not to because he had plenty of things to geek out over as well. I remember telling him about how when I was looking for the game years ago a clerk thought I had said &quot;Day Sex.&quot; Spector had actually considered this before the title came out and had been amused at the thought of that very thing happening.

  Sad how the game didn&apos;t run properly on your computer, you could then have played the tutorial level that explains a lot about how the game works. For example, the Hazmat suit only reduces the damage from environmental hazards such as electricity or toxic gas. In order for it to provide better protection, a player has to invest in the environmental skill. The tutorial also has a very good stealth-based corridor segment where you can experiment the different ways to sneak past enemies without even touching them. I don&apos;t think the game was made so that players are directly thrown into the first level without prior explanation.
