I got Deus Ex used and gave it up about three missions in. Largely because the PS(X|2? I can't remember.) port had hideous load time issues, but also because the whole thing kept frustrating my instinctive urge to sneak around - IIRC, it seemed to dole out a lot more of the tools you needed for shooting everything in sight than for sneaking around and not killing anyone.
(Plus, it was really, really, ugly compared to everything else I had on that machine.)
Oh, and as someone who took the console path back at the console/PC split, I think of PC gamers as either withered old fogeys with no reflexes who get off on tedious, fiddly simulations of running a convenience store chain or something, or as emotionally-retarded twelve-year-olds whose entire library is nothing but ugly FPSs. And both sets react with puzzlement or hostility to games with any sense of whimsey.
