Deus Ex: The Conspiracy Helios ending 

Or maybe it inherited the purposes of Icarus and Daedalus. Maybe Icarus knew it was to merge with Daedalus and become a world-ruling machine, while the Daedalus part didn't want to merge with Page.

Paul, what are you talking about? What do you mean by "it" ?

Paul I...I...I thought you were a GEP Gun.

Well considering it was born from the merge of an AI constructed to protect civilians from terrorist groups and protect liberty and another AI designed to help page rule the world as efficiently as possible with unlimited access to the internet it would make sense that helios would behave the way it did.

PROD WITH THE PROD!

+JC Denton ... _watashi wa L des_

I... I...

A gep gun

@@chrissy1045 i though you were a gep gun

WHO ARE YOU

No way accidental.

Too much vodka

@@cr4yv3n lots of orange.

Probably did.

DeMar DeGoatzan after all the shit in Area 51including alien clones i would need a new pant too

You try walking with a rocket launcher, an assault rifle, and 20 lockpicks in your pants.

@@GaelithWhitemane Thats very impossible.

His mind become augumented 🗿

LMAO

good blowie makes my day

+Prince Noah yeah.

I prefer the added robo voice effect on the PC version.

super old comment but I think they wanted to make it more clear for those playing on real hardware, since there are no subtitles and the overall audio quality was reduced

In my mind, it's his Humanity that's most important to his transformation to a supreme being.

@@TheJayson8899 Jesus is dead

​@@prempink12311Wake up. You're sleeping. He's more alive than you are.

Yup. And I'll be right there with ya, with the Dragon tooth sword. >: ) Eidos Montreal. You need to remake this game and give it all the care you gave Human Revolution (and a bit more. I don't want broken bosses in the first version this time, ok?). I will grab it day 1 if you do. Also, if they give it the Thief 4 treatment, I will...uhh...I can't think of anything actually bad enough to do to them to punish them if they do. XD

I will alongside u both with that little starter pistol that can one shot kill everyone XD

Release it for the New Generation. Plus it would attract new and late comers. And most importantly: ME!!! Only Played HR and IW. Would hands down spend full money on an HD remake of Deus Ex. :D

i would get it for sure

Pretty late to the party, but yeah seriously I would donate a good amount of money to a Kickstart campaign for a remake of Deus Ex.

A BOMB?

Oh my gawd JC a bomb!

GET OUTTA THERE

When jc won’t destroy Area 51 Tong: “fine I’ll do it myself”

@@jackakakreanxx5587 I already have some explosives.

damn this comment is 15 years old … but same after finishing the ps2 version I saw the coverart and suddenly it clicked that I might have chosen the intended ending

@@zoyboy1914 Yes, I think it's the ultimate expression of the themes of the text; Helios and the Dark Age are about acceptance or rejection of technology. The conspiracy ending just indicates that the player has failed to make any real choices at all.

@@JamesDuncan your words are poetic and I habe to agree. Rejecting technology will simply reset the clock and one day humanity will stand before the sa,e exact choice again, only that it might not be a well intentioned JC but a horrible illuminati member. For that reason I decided to choose the inevitable path of progress

Thanks to bring my ME3 trauma again

funny how all the helios defenders just assume the AI will be beneficial and benevolent when there’s zero indication that’s the case and nobody consulting humanity on wether they want a sentient machine governing every aspect of their existence. i’m a tongchad for life

@@bun197 100%. Freedom for humanity is the only good ending.

An all powerful machine god that is comprised of two a.i.s that were never your friend(one was just an ally of convenience because Daedalus didn't consider you to be part of a terrorist organization and would have dropped you the moment it seemed like someone else would be more useful like it did with Paul, and the other being more powerful than the first and constantly lied and manipulated you in order to create Helios), had already turned on your allies(remember how the Triad was your friend at that point and you had even drunk wine with the bosses), and despite claiming to not have an agenda or be ambitious wanted you specifically to interface with it instead of Page(who had likely spent years already preparing his mind to be melded thus giving him a greater chance at holding on to his individuality unlike JC). On the other hand you have the people who had been running the world decently enough before Page usurped and decimated them causing the world to be the mess that it is, who are willing to give you the keys to the kingdom by the end of the game, and we know for a fact from their ending that they manage to end the plague(Tracer Tong is walking around cured) and bring things back to relatively normal. I'll trust the Illuminati any day of the week before I let an a.i. take over my brain.

@@bun197 it boils down to three concepts, freedom, stability and order. Helios gives the world order at the cost of privacy and individual liberty. The dark age is the complete opposite, it gives humanity actual choice, the chance to rebuild and finally see the truth, but that truth comes with a period of chaos. The Illuminati keep the world as it was before ol' bobby page went apeshit, they are not ideal but the bastards really do believe they can guide humanity to a better tomorrow. Democracy may be a lie but the common folk can keep on living with their lives more or less intact, it meets the others halfway. none of the endings are correct, it's about what the player believes to be the right thing and the consequences that come with that decision.

+NeoSamuel and Wesker.

NYEH HEH HEH THE GREAT PAPYRUS STRIKES AGAIN!

That might not be a good idea cause a machine would look at the worlds problems with a clinical fashion it could decide that there is too many humans for resources and instead decide to allow half to die or even kill half of them.

@@SeizureGman you are literally citing wef agenda

​@@brainrainz it isn't pretty but it self evident there is too much superfluous spawning devoid of long term vision Too many unplanned organisms

merging yourself with something made by man, sacrificing who you are, a mistake.

​@@SeizureGmanwell then it would be no different than a human and we're back to square one

"If there were no insanity, it would be necessary to create it." -Catbag

Its basic psychology. There is no God, there never was one. But the human mind wanted there to be one.

"...and so, has set itself on the path toward one day evolving into its own God creation/creator" THERE is your paradox.

Well if he never existed, he would need to exist.

They needed a new one, so they killed the first

He will burn like a brightest star from all that butthurt.

@@caav56 He'll burn alright.

He’s listening to “oh yeah yeah” at full volume, causing him to achieve a psionic ascension.

It was 2000

I thought 0:54 was worse lol

I think it was a fine rendition.. however the original is better

Fact does not encompass everything. How do you use facts to move towards good if good has no ideological definition?

What is scientifically better, the color red or green? A dictator cannot be benevolent because by definition he is against consent and therefore against morality. Nothing immoral can be benevolent. The best ending would've been JC/Helios abolishing governments so that people can be free.

@@BlueSpawn _"What is scientifically better, the color red or green?"_ I understand your point about a dictator not having the right to decide matters of pure opinion, but funnily enough there is an answer to your question, situationally. "Red" is scientifically better than green when producing rear lights for automobiles because that wavelength produces less glare in the eyes of someone observing the car in the dark from behind. A benevolent dictator with those facts at hand could justify a decree that makes car rear lights being red instead of green mandatory, and that dictator would be objectively correct in that assessment. So, it's a bad example, but I see the point. Though your consent argument is still a bit flawed because it's not just a concept that covers everything. You can't withdraw consent from being treated fairly by the law. Justice is imposed upon you. Also, some groups can't give informed consent and things are decided for them, e.g. children.

Correction, my good sir: Wesker looks like JC.

@@AllardRT JC looks like Blade

Still better than IW's JC. He looks like Mel Gibson in that one.

Albert wesker got that virus in his body he teleports every where

This ending always came across as a sort of baptism allegory to me.

That is why they called him JC.

@@Sewblon JC Jay-cee Je-s-us Close Enough.

@@tremendousyeet3467 JC is an acronym for Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, Denton!

Oh man I know this comment if 5 years old but you don't want to see what the creators of the matrix are up to now. They went full left hand path.

@@tomryder3641 Don't fear change. Change is progress. Progress cannot be killed.

@@Akaedyson Except if it progress into a bad place. Then get out of the 'bad place'.

Nope, it's just that classic fps aren't meant to be played on a gamepad.

I think it was about the sound hardware/TV audio.

PS2 player : "Oh yeah yeah"
