Meh. Valve has become nearly as underwhelming as id.

Guess you never played the original, or played PC games before the year 2003
Your comment wasn't directed at me, but I'm someone who has been playing games since the 80s, loved DX:HR, and the original Deus Ex has remained my favorite game of all-time since its release.
DX:HR kicked ass and I'm starving for more.
Modern systems should be able to handle this. I say that not knowing if they can, but they should. Maybe I'm just not playing enough modern games these days, but I feel that PC gaming hasn't had much of a leap in visual fidelity in a long time.
Looks gorgeous and terrifying. Can't wait.
Looks rather bland and soulless compared to the excellent series of Lego games from TT Games.
How disappointing. The same studio released the excellent Deus Ex: Human Revolution 2½ years ago, but a quick glance at the credits seems to indicate that the same leads did not work on Thief. What a shame.
On the positive side, that's probably because the DX:HR team is actively working on a sequel.

That's a pretty cool story. It must've been crushing to fail to get picked up by a publisher and then fail to get funded on Kickstarter. Good for them.
As someone who is a big fan of World of Xeen, the pre-release version of the game was a huge disappointment. As a result, I didn't spend more than a couple of hours with the game, but the first few hours were enough to turn me off.
Whoa, less than HALF of players spent more than 2 hours in the game. That sucks. I had fun with it, but I'm sure I spent less than 10 hours playing. I think I would've preferred a slower pace, but I realize that the franticity is key to the experience they wanted to create.
I've become very skeptical of MMOs in general, because I always end up disappointed. WoW is still the king, despite everything that has come since. With TES, though, I've gone from "meh" to "cautiously optimistic" (well, less-so after reading the comments here). I want in that beta.
More reminders of how fucking old I am. I remember downloading pre-release screenshots of Doom from a BBS. Good times.
Ooof, I was thinking that, as a vanilla backer, I would have access to the beta. It sounds like you have to pony up an extra $20 for the privilege, though.
I was really, super excited about GW2. I really pegged my hopes on it being the next evolution of MMOs. It's fine, but it completely failed to live up to my expectations. It definitely has some great innovations, but I still find myself going back to WoW rather than GW2.
My condolences, Blue.
Kind of sorrowful news. On the other hand, it's been a long time since id brought me any joy.
I am getting so old.

Hard to believe that this is the same company that created Baldur's Gate. Or KOTOR.
I signed up for the beta long ago, and have been in it for several weeks now. Super fun.
[EDIT] Upon seeing the video, this isn't an announcement for Hearthstone, but rather for something called Heroes of the Storm, which is a completely separate product.

Generic FPSs, just what the world needs.
