Community for CRPG and other RPG discussions. Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.


Rules (Click to Expand):

  1. Follow the Lemmy.world Rules - https://mastodon.world/about

  2. Be kind. No bullying, harassment, racism, sexism etc. against other users.

  3. No spam, illegal content, or NSFW content (no games with NSFW images/video).

  4. Please stay on topic, cRPG adjacent games or even JRPGs are fine. Try to include topics / games that have a strong roleplaying component to them.

Having played Deus Ex probably ~10 times since the 2000s, I would have to agree.

There are clearly political themes in Deus Ex, but it seems they are there more their for entertainment. The political elements are almost tongue in cheek ("new world order" type organization, black helicopters).

Yes, I agree.

It's kind of ironic how back then this was seen as a fairly generic dystopian future, and yet here we are living in the beginning stages of said generic dystopian future...

Indeed, insane Irony that a borderline jokey dystopian future is becoming reality a quarter or a century later.
