because they are either niggers or afraid to get arrested by jews

>spend time stealing things out of parked cars, jumping up to second story windows to break into people's apartments

But that is what they do most of the time, interrogating people that know you, spying you, and breaking into your place or your car to see if they can find evidence for whatever they are following you

>>14407359

Yeah, it feels more like the world is designed for the player than a world constructed for plot. It's a little lame.

>>14407359

Because it would add nothing to the game if they would, it's either totally inconsequential and just annoying or so heavy handed that it cripples exploration.

Also: Jensen is a walking tank and NPCs do acknowledge that

>>14407359

Those examples are fine. The game-breaking LND is when you can murder an entire police department, and its business as usual for Adam with no consequences.

Adam did nothing wrong

>>14408357

I haven't thought about this before, but officers of the law make great criminals. They know every nook and cranny of the police and how to avoid it. Not that what Adam is doing requires a career in law. It's kinda funny how a former head of security would resort to petty theft.

>>14407806

Manderley telling JC to stay out ladies restroom adds "nothing" too. Impressions matter.

Pee pee

Poo poo

Nouveau Deux Sex is a bad game

>muh anti-rowbutt reycism

>ablobloblo cops are evul and reycis

>daytime super jump break-ins and theft in front of cops with no repercussions

>>14407359

>Guy dragging around 4000 pound dumpsters like its nothing

>I am going to go tell that guy not to do it I sure he is reasonable and wont do anything to me

Anon if I see a guy literally moving around tons without much effort you better believe I am leaving him alone.

>>14407378

>But that is what they do most of the time

Stop being so blatantly obvious and the cops will leave you alone Paco.

>>14407359

>Human Revolution

>Game tells me I'm former police now working as a counter-terrorist agent at Interpol

Way to get your sequels and prequels mixed up OP.

Should I get the gaemu + all the DLCs for 10 dollary doos? I liked the first game well enough although it felt like various features were missing it seemed like.

I heard that the game shoehorns microtransactions into the single player. Is it ignorable or is pretty (((JEWED)))?

>>14423236

Why the fuck would you want to waste your time and money on an unfinished game that ends on a cliffhanger?

>>14423247

>Bad guy kills double-agent and bombs a train-station

>You kill bad guy in the end

How is that a cliffhanger?

>>14423247

didn't the first game end on a cliff hanger as well?

>>14423274

don't tell me you bought that shit too

>>14423394

HR and MD are fun as long as you completely ignore the plot.

>>14423394

you could replay it with shifter mod

then there is also The nameless mod which is impressive in its scope but a time capsule of early to mid 2000s internet.

>>14423402

Don't listen to this faggot. None of the "new" games are worth playing.

>>14423409

They are fun, bite me.

>>14423394

If you want to be disappointed, then play all the other games. If you don't, just replay DX like I do. I've already played it 24 times since 2001.

>>14407806

>Because it would add nothing to the game if they would,

Horse shit. One of the best moments of DX1 is when Icarus comments on you breaking in and stealing shit, basically saying you might as well join them if you're the type to just take what you want.

>>14423254

TBH the entire pacing feels wrong, like you're just getting into the real plot when it ends. Like if HR ended when you got back from the FEMA facility.

>>14423558

>Icarus comments on you breaking in and stealing shit

Although I've played it numerous times, I don't remember this at all. Does it happen if you break into some apartment in Paris?

>>14407378

> feels more like the world is designed for the player than a world constructed for plot

HR sucks but I can guaran-fucking-tee if the opposite was true, that the world was 'constructed for plot' and not gameplay you faggots would be up in arms about

>i'm a superpowered cyborg and you mean i have to get a fucking warrant before the game lets me enter people's houses??

>game locks you into 20min unskippable reprimand session if you unlock other people's offices wtf

shit thread

>>14423394

Actually, I've liked Invisible War. It is more linear and "causalized" but the augmentations - you know, the whole point of DX - are handled much better IMO. You won't waste bioenergy on light since it is free. In DX, it seemed to me like I could only really get to enjoy augmentations in the endgame. In IW it's an integral part of gameplay since the beginning pretty much.

>>14423609

>that the world was 'constructed for plot' and not gameplay you faggots would be up in arms about

Have you even played Deus Ex you retarded faggot?

>>14423622

That much is true and the ragdoll physics make it a lot more fun. It's just the consolitis that really kills most of the enjoynment out of IW, the small areas and loading zones everywhere, the retarded UI, uinversal ammo etc. I think they did a decent enough job on combining the three endings from the original, a nice feat. Honestly I can't even remember how they did that in MD.

>>14423573

>Does it happen if you break into some apartment in Paris?

Yes. But it's more a warning about getting law enforcement on your ass because he needs you for a larger goal.

>>14409525

Try not looking like a bitch and cops will fuck with you all the time.

>>14423394

HR is okay. It shits itself at the end, but up until there it's fun enough. MD is pure cancer, don't even pirate it.

>>14425291

What was so bad about MD? the gameplay is basically HR's and both of them have plots not worth caring about.

>>14425368

The PC port had performance issues. It was handled by Nixxes, the same people who gave us the dumb boss fights in HR. It had an in game shop where you could spend real money for in game items. It had a stupid game mode called breach. The game was shorter than HR and the story wasn't as good even without the stupid shit HR had at the end.

MD also really overplayed the "augmented apartheid" angle. The game was littered with stupid social justice shit.

>>14425499

>It had a stupid game mode called breach.

What? I mean I pirated it and enjoyed it, however brief it was, cause I just wanted more HR gameplay. Though the fact it had a NG+ mode and I didn't bother is pretty telling.

>>14409517

Oh, it's one of THESE retards. The ones that attempt to apply real life logic to games to justify weird NPC behavior, without giving it any thought whatsoever. Tell me, do the NPCs act just like usual, or do they actually give any sort of indication that they're trying to avoid upsetting the machine man? Do they try to avoid eye contact or something, or maybe walk out of view and call the police? No? Then you're a fucking retard.

>game attempts to have a believable world, clearly set in a fictional future reality

>NPCs don't react to shit they clearly should be reacting to

>"b-b-b-b-but they're just pretending to not notice"

No you gigantic faggot, the devs just didn't make them notice. If they actually reacted to shit they would fucking do so in an some way. If you see a guy stacking refrigerators to get into the second floor balcony to steal shit, you don't talk to him in the same relaxed way you would talk to a random person on the street, even if you pretend to for the sake of not angering the guy.

>>14425549

wrong thread?

>>14425499

I'll just say, I played Mankind Divided on xbone and it just made me slightly sad. Even on a controller it played decently well mechanically. It had so many little things it worked in that COULD have made it work out smoother and better than HR, and sometimes even managed to… and then fucked everything up by just being gay.

No inspired level design, way more streamlining, and so much SJW shit like you noted. HR might have gone overboard in its own way, with fucking megacities apparently funded, constructed, and populated by Next Sunday (tm), and the renaissance fashion, yet it not only provided fun gameplay but seemed like the dev team genuinely loved what they were doing. Sure, it does appear as though they'd have rather made a game that wasn't quite deus ex, but they were having fun with what they were doing and they even made sure to have a nice balance of pure-theory conspiracy and real shit.

Just sucks seeing the series so bastardized, I mean how's it even happen so badly AFTER they'd already managed to make DX3 not-shit?

Jensen is an ubermensch and anyone who fucks with him gets stabbed or shot. Would you comment on Adam Jensen breaking into your apartment to steal candy bars, or would you just shut the fuck up and let him raid your garbage?

>>14407359

Ssssh.

It's part of his investigation.

That urban family apartment is really an illuminati front

>>14423394

>IW

Captures the atmosphere and world of DX but game is full of consolitis. Play it to complete the JC/Paul saga

>HR

Good effort though its more splinter cell, with gamey looking map design. But lacks the conspiracy/paranoia atmosphere of the first

>MD

This one plays most like DX. Captures some of the original's sprawling, organic level design and exploration but a boring set of characters/world building. The story starts interesting but never elevates and leaves you bored af

>>14432875

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but is that shitty-looking "The Fall" game worth a pirate?

>>14435136

Nope

Its bad even by mobile game standards.

>>14425514

>dystopian transhumanist future

>almost every human has artificial limbs and organs and are depended on it

>they could inject things into the humans body to make it more docile and to avoid the police

HUR DUR some npc isnt being a busy body and telling me off about stacking 5000 pound objects in the street!

>>14423394

Play IW, don't go in expecting greatness it has its moments.

>>14407359

dunno what you're complaining about that's pretty much how cops work in america

i mean sure they can't jump to a second story window because they're all like 350 pounds but aside from that
