Do Human Revolution or Mankind Divided have any interesting political insights like the original Deus Ex?
nah. The transhumanism thing was cool in HR but the meme identity politics were shit in MD. Neither hold a candle to the global conspiracy stuff from the first one
are we done here

/thread, they're shite op

Haven't played MD yet but HR approached the transhumanism meme with a few interesting angles outside of the typical "It's not God's will!" cliches
No, HR was corporate shit all over
>>383741570
No, they were written by nobodies with nothing to say. They're still OK games, especially HR.

No it just uses 'muh robotic arms' as a retarded stand in for anything that could be a topical point.
HR
>augmentation represents social class
MD
>it's also racism btw
>>383742501
So they downgraded it from worldwide conspiracy to "The corporations are evul"?

The game that gets closest to interesting political insight is Invisible War. The original Deus Ex is just typical cyberpunk fantasy rhetoric, there's not really much of value there.
HR is more about humanity and morality than politics. Never played MD.
So the Deus Ex series went from an actual redpilled series to regular liberal drivel with HR? Shit, now I regret ever buying it, guess I won't play it either. I really liked the first game.

Its not really liberal. Just using this made up issue the writers came up with to seem political and thoughtful while basically saying nothing

The plot was literally Internet Conspiracy Theories: The Game. Warren Spector said so.

No, because it was never a "redpilled" series and HR is not liberal drivel. In fact, the ultimate villain of HR is arguably a "liberal drivalist".
