What happened?
>>
Just sorta seemed rushed. I think they forgot that what makes Deus Ex so good is its engaging, overarching, plot, where even the sub-missions reveal different and complex shadow actors. The fun is the conspiracy, and MD's conspiracy just wasn't all that enticing.

Prague is a great hub though
>>
Oh right this exists
>>
The plot and overall pacing felt like it was half a game, by the end of the game, it seemed like you were just starting to unravel something bigger, which is usually when the game started getting good in both the original and Human Revolution.

Casuals hated it because it didn't cater to their ADHD.
It's an excellent game with a somewaht weak main plot, but the optinal content and exploration make more than up for it.
>>
Only one hub means that I was exploring places I wasn't supposed to almost right away and the game just ends at one point
>>
>>378233786
I loved Human Revolution, more than most people here, but that last level was pretty shit, desu. Definitely could've gone without the Zombies and "click for ending". I really wonder why these games are being so blatantly rushed
>>
Nothing. It was great. I enjoyed the Human Revolution and I enjoyed Mankind Divided just as much. If anything, they should have expanded Golem City into a full hub with side missions and made the whole section a bit longer. They also could have made the GARM facility bigger too, instead of two warehouses.
>>
>>378233919
I thought there were more hubs? Why do you use the train then?
>>
Theres many really easy marketing decisions SE couldve done to make it a semi-successfull launch.
>Dont use denuvo
>Abandon the half-assed online features and microtransactions
>Dont put out the expensive cg trailer before the game is within 6 months of launch
>Dont test some retarded pre-order schemes that are just a pr nightmare
>dont show horrid lipsync/facial animations at all, fix it before you show ingame footage

Those actions would've helped immensely regardless of the flaws in the game itself.
>>
>>378234017
I agree, that last level was shit, I don't think anyone sane will disagree with that. I think the only thing that stops it from being completely unbearable for me is the dialogue battle with Hugh Darrow.

I guess the locale looks kinda cool too if nothing else, but most of the game looks that way regardless.

I didn't say that at all, work on your reading comprehension.

they went full liberal rather than taking an objective stance, the level design sucked and a lot of gameplay choices were extremely dubious, and the story was stupid to the point I don't even remember if I finished the game or just stopped playing
>>
>>378234327
They're just different sections of Prague

Speaking of which, I wish the cyborg slum was used more extensively. It looked fucking dope, but then you leave after like 1 small mission and two easy side missions.

>>378234572
That's true, the Hugh Darrow dialogue part is one of my favorite parts of the game, I hope that sort of stuff is more prominent in the next game, as they're probably some of the most engaging parts of the new series, The talk with your former teammate at the police station too, that part was so fucking tight, actually had me caring for an otherwise totally useless NPC.

More than anything else, I just want more games where dialogue maneuvering makes up a substantial part of the game, that's why Deus Ex is Deus Ex, and seeing MD go for more action bits just rubbed me the wrong way. Diplomatic Deus Ex is best Deus Ex

The conspiracy stuff was barely uncovered and that's basically what makes the entire franchise. I still really like the game. The art design, side missions, and environmental storytelling were all some of the best I've ever played. It's really interesting to see things like ads profiting off the aug crisis.

Like a lot of people said, Square Enix put up some real stupid mandates (shit online, microtransactions, planned trilogy) and Eidos decided to just let the game end on act 1 to meet those plans.

We all know its just the developers adding it as a minimal effort sacrifice to the waifu fags so they complain less. They didnt even bother to model her or get her a voice actress.

It was a better polished HR, but it fixed none of the underlying issues had with it.
So if you didn't like HR in the first place, it was hard to like this one.

Then there's the cornucopia of small problems the games had from a marketing standpoint (forced multiplayer when your hame is unfinished, Denuvo, technical issues, DLC and P2W, etc) which individually amounted to probably little, but all added to a lot of lost sales..

I did enjoy it since it was basically a more refined HR, but I was disappointed with a lot of things at the same time.

Aria and Delara were absolute top tier QT3.14s.

it isn't, it feels like HR 1.5 at its best, it's been 5 years since HR and the focus on Prague is too much, there aren't enough places to explore and the game feels samey with repetitive environments.

The story is pure garbage and new characters are crap, they game just feels half assed really, it's hard to care about anyone even Adam in MD.

Adam and the new things in HR felt new, yet MD reuses the same main character and to make it even more boring, it brings a lot of the old foes from Deus Ex such as Bob Page. This might seem positive because hey look kids there's your nostalgia, but this is a bad thing for many reasons. First it limits the scope of the game, you know no matter how Adam's story with Page ends, you know Bob is alive and kicking in Deus Ex so at best you'll do a minor setback to his plans, how exciting. This also means less expanding the universe, HR worked because despite being inferior to DX in writing, the story had pretty much all new characters, it expanded the universe and didn't have to walk around limitations of the DX universe. Developing a game around existing material and characters limits what can be done without ruining shit, I mean what's going to happen with Bob Page? We either get unsatisfactory ending or they'll have to invent some retarded bullshit like Adam & co kill Page but then Page clones himself and that's the one JC eliminates. Either way it's a bad proposition.

They still have all kinds of annoying shit in the game like the cinematic takedowns that break the pace of the game to show those repetitive animations over and over, THIS SHIT AIN'T GOOD EIDOS.

The aug crisis employs segregation, but you're an idiot if you think it's allegorical. The game actively shows you that augs are a threat for their own reasons, and the free market gaining access to them + the backstory in HR makes it a unique interpretation.
It's also hilarious that a game where a fit white male named Adam who can kill every person he sees on a foreign country with his bare hands is seen as "SJW" in a cosmic sort of way.

The problem isnt a specific political issue, its that they think inserting current events into a deux ex game is a good idea.
I dont look to a cyberpunk game to experience news topics from couple years ago.

>>378242337
Alex straight up uses the word racism in the game. It's pretty obvious what they wanted to do, and the lead writer said she wanted to make a game about parallels with refugees and shit. The charade is over, it is pretty obvious what they wanted to do. I could go on how comparing a mechanical arm to a genetic difference between people or race, something you're BORN with, is all kinds of retarded, but whatever I don't feel like writing lengthy posts about everything that is wrong with this game.

Adam also defends muslims from the accusation of terrorism like a good little left wing drone does today. No wonder this cancer is oozing from it, the game was made in Canada, after all.

What "current events" are you speaking of? Like I said, the issue of segregation and augmented discrimination is a unique problem. In HR it's proven that they can be violent at the touch of a button. In MD they're being exploited and put down at every turn because of it.

>Adam also defends muslims from the accusation of terrorism like a good little left wing drone does today
This is how I know you haven't played the game and are looking at articles or /v/ posts. All Adam does is say "these particular terrorists can't be Muslims as they shun augmentation, and the terrorists were augmented" That's not only not defending Muslims, but damn good writing too and I was surprised they even thought of ruling that out in the game.

>>378242545
It is a logical continuation of the HR storyline right after the panchea incident which made people aware that augmentations can't be controlled, thus making augmented people into ticking timebombs and treating them as second rate citizens because of that.
How in the FUCK does that have to do with current events?
You faggots are the new SJW who try to twist the narrative into what you think instead of the objective truth.

I'm fully aware of that, I want to know exactly why a cop would dismiss a line of investigation over this flimsy claim. I never heard about any Sharia rule of the kind that forbids technology, got any citation of the Koran or Hadith to back up this invented islamic law of theirs? Muslims employ all kinds of shit in jihad I'm not sure at all this is factual.

Sounds like made up bullshit to defend Islam.

For all MD's flaws it had some great sidequests. That final fight through the streets with the Samizdat crew and Helene was funner than anything in the main storyline

So it doesnt touch blm issues with "aug lives matter" marketing
It doesnt touch gay marriage and adoption issues with the pictures of gay couple having children. Its just innocently placed there just so everyone knows the devs political views.
It doesnt force niggers down your throat by a eastern EU city with <1% black population in reality suddenly having 30% black population in the game. (also alex vega originally being latino)
Police brutality is a hot topic in US and what do you know dx has oppressive law enforcement being mean to nig- I mean augs.

As a third party here, I've played DX once per year at least for quite a while, and I must be using another definition of the word "real" here, because I don't see what you're getting at.

That being said, without wanting to defend MD's writing and plotting - I don't think it was particularly good - I can't but help thinking a lot to the rejection from its attempts at cyberpunk has mostly to do with the middle to lower-middle classes people that could at least fancy themselves the heroes of 80s cyberpunk not stomaching the realization that they're victims at best in the cyberpunk narrative, but more likely willing cogs in the monstrous machine.

The problem with HR that is greatly exacerbated in MD is how absolutely petty the main dilemma feels like in comparison to the one in DE.

It's practically a 'have' vs 'have-not' with augs that is then viewed in a 'racist' way.

I mean, what the fuck, couldn't they come up with anything better? The whole thing feels so contrived. The original game didn't need to rely on some forced issue and instead took present-day issues and turned them up to eleven, that's how it feels so relevant even today.

It's clearly something that's actually happened in their world. Obviously the Islamic world would have had a position on augmentations and in their universe they've outlawed it.
>Sounds like made up bullshit to defend Islam.
Hahah from what? The threat that they'd be cyborg murderers? Oh yeah dude, I'm sure they're straight up celebrating that Deus Ex cleared them of cyborg terrorism. Great service.
>>378243586

Did you see the screencap I posted where they mention that it had nothing to do with BLM?
>with the pictures of gay couple having children
Oh no, what a travesty
I'd respond in full but I have to go. Jeez man, if this is the way you actually look at Deus Ex I don't think this series or entertainment at large is for you.

Islam exists in our world and I'm asking you to back their claim that augs are outlawed in Islam. This is a flimsy way to deflect the reality that there is a doctrine of violence of Islam: see "JIHAD" and "waging jihad against unbelievers and hypocrites". Adam is investigating an act of terror but suddenly doesn't want to even tolerate a line of investigation that includes jihad as the cause. Yeah right totally sensible, in Canada maybe.

>>378244042
Nope. Human Revolution doesn't mention those at all, and is focused on shitty racism parallels. MD has nothing on those

In fact MD's world is hilariously one dimensional. Everything in it is about augs augs augs augs. People don't discuss sports anymore, now it's AUG UFC. When you stumble into people talking, they're always talking about aug this aug that. Deus Ex didn't give a shit about augs at all, they were just a backdrop in a much bigger world.

This whole shit is retarded as fuck and was clearly written by hacks.

>>378244813
People in Mankind Divided and Human Revolution don't even sound like real people, who talk about mundane shit about how they liked watching something the other day or about how shitty the weather is or someone's big round ass or whatever, the characters in MD/HR exist solely to deliver exposition related to augs. In MD they'd talk about how the new movie Augterminator is out and how that augmented throat makes it better to drink booze or whatever.

In Deus Ex you had a bartender in Hell's Kitchen who was decked with mechanical augs, and people reacted normally. Sometimes you had those bouncer types who were clearly augmented, and people weren't all DUDE AUGS LOL as they are in MD/HR.

I get it, augs are a new thing, but people eventually talk about another subject, which is a detail the total hacks at Eidos Montreal clearly don't understand.

I'm Muslim myself and I have to agree with you. Indeed, getting any sort of body modifications like plastic surgery or even tattoos are prohibited in Islam so I doubt getting augs would be any different. Plastic surgery is only permitted if, say, you'd been in an accident that messed your physical appearance to a point that it gets in the way of your life and how others treat you.

That said, if we're talking about terrorists, why the fuck would they even give a shit about these prohibitions in the first place? The thing about Jihad that non-Muslims (and even some Muslims) don't understand is that it is severely regulated if you're actually following the tenets in the Quran. ISIS and Al Qaeda claim that they're waging Jihad but don't give a shit about these regulations and prohibitions, they basically shit on the Quran worse than 'infidels' do. If a group resorts to terrorism or cyber-terrorism, as happened in MD, you can bet your ass that they don't give a shit about any of the things that are outlawed in Islam. Hand-waiving that the way they did in MD was cringey as fuck. Even I would suspect it could be a Jihadist group if I were in Adam's shoes.
