/v/ - Video Games

Poorly optimized as shit, microtransactions to "boost your character", the pre-order tiers bullshit, they stopped supporting the game when it was a failure, even though it's still poorly optimized and buggy.

Rushed ending. They fucking rushed the game. The game is even more "don't like to play stealth? FUCK YOU!" and it tries to force you to go sneaky now.

>Poorly optimized as shit

aka "my toaster froze trying to run it"

the game isn't great, but never listen to muh optimization niggas, they can't even play the game

>>15055427

The only good things are the Eliza quest and the serial killer with brain implant quest.

>>15055427

For $5, I'm gonna give it a chance. I'll know if it's worth keeping within 2 hours.

I heard the main game was mediocre but DLCs were pretty good but never played it myself. Isn't this game cracked anyway?

>>15055453

I can second anyone saying it's poorly optimized - I've got a strong PC and parts of DEMD positively chug.

>>15055481

For $5, I'd say it's worth it. The plot is even more garbage than usual, but the art design and architecture are 10/10 and worth the price of admission.

>buying any sqeenix game in current year

>>15055487

I mean the plot can't possibly be worse than Human Revolution, right?

>paying for vidya

The pre-order jewry they tried to pull off is reason enough to not support the game OP. Just pirate it instead. Even for only $5 there are other games that deserve that more than this shit if you wanna go down that route.

>>15055495

HR's plot was mostly competent, but incredibly rushed; especially toward the end.

MD's is the same, except not competent, infinitely more boring, and full of holes.

>>15055503

In Eidos-Montreal's defense, those kind of decisions were made by Square-Enix Europe. And those people are some of the stupidest motherfuckers to ever walk the earth.

>>15055427

It's alright. Feels pointless since Jensen's story was pretty much over at the end of Human Revolution, but the gameplay is solid, the graphics are nice and the art design is even better than the last game.

Also, Bob Page is back with his original VA, that's kind of cool.

So yeah, go for it. Doesn't matter if you pirate it or anything, especially at this point. I'd just say it's worth playing at least once.

>>15055545

If nothing else, it can be used for stress testing overclocks.

Rushed but good. The game has been 5 euros on CD key sites for the past year. Worth playing, but it really was rushed because the pre order numbers probably were not as high as Square Enix expected. Just focus on the side content because it's the best.

I got it and all the dlc for like 8 to 10 bucks a year ago. Still haven't even bothered installing it.

>>15055427

If you liked DXHR and want more of that, then MD is that, just be aware it's inferior in story and it's about half the game it should be.

It's worth it, best game of 2016.

>>15055439

>Poorly optimized

Dude, you're full of shit.

>>15055453

>niggas

nigger, leave

Maybe. If its really cheap, like a few dollars then probably go for it. You could also just pirate it. Its a real mixed bag, very rushed (the ending literally just comes from nowhere), lots of shitty token characters, only one hub (although it is really good), bias for stealth yet again, ridiculous plot about augmented people being segregated and treated like second class citizens. However, its also got a lot of good in there too, more weapon variety, customization, bonus augments, better level design, qt waifu in the agency you work for. Shame it was rushed to fuck and had a stupid "muh racism" plot, could have been pretty good otherwise.

>Does anon think it's worth buying?

>/v/ is one person

Buying? No.

Pirating? Yes.

>>15055427

Even ignoring the long ass load times and praxis kit microtransactions, the game has Mas Effect 2 Syndrome, which is to say it's worse than HR. It's only reason for existing is to bridge the gap between the HR and the third game in the Adam Jensen trilogy. Pirate it if you really like Deus Ex or want to keep up with the plot. Otherwise, don't bother.

it's objectively worse than human revolution, and that one was already arguably worse than invisible war

do you really want to buy something that promoted augmented pre-orders?

>>15055440

It's playable without stealth, dude. Sounds like you need to get gud.

.t someone that finished it by killing everything on the highest difficulty

How good does this and HR play? If the gameplay is good I might gloss over the piss filter or the story not being as engaging as the original.

>>15056017

Finally another sane anon in this thread.

>>15055614

>>15056017

>>15056029

Thanks for you answers. I was also on the fence thinking about buying mankind divided. I played HR a little bit years ago, but I never finished it and don't remember much about it. Is it poozed as well?

It's short above mediocre but not too awesome single player game. Just pirate it. Level design sucks now in comparison to its predecessor, it's very linear now. Good for speed runs and patching up stupid ending of HR, not much else.

>>15056053

It's not pozzed, but in the sense that the subject matter is handled properly instead of being a hamfisted allegory to racism. Augmented people are judged by others, but theirs is one of many view points, and the discussion is more centered around if augmenting people is playing god. It also drifts into Ship of Theseus territory, where people wonder if replacing pieces of yourself with machinery makes you lose some of your humanity.

Its 15% of 3 different games there were planned to be a start for a MCU style shared universe of games, whatever that means when game spinoffs already exist, and they put the remains together into one thing.

Ever try RE6? same thing, different IP.

It's fucking trash.

Not really worth pirating, through if you want some freshier but crappy stealth - pirate it.

>>15055427

They released it with Denuvo, so fuck this game.

>>15056017

ackshually they aren't police they're crime guys who basically paid for stolen uniforms.

>>15055427

The game has its problems but it's decent, get the DLC cuz it's quite good

>>15056017

>you NEED to do this to get past the checkpoint

You can bribe the police or just sneak around, it's a sidequest.

>>15055427

The gameplay is better than Human Revolution but the story is shit and the ending is rushed.

>>15055427

As a game its entirely mediocre with an awful politically charged story behind it. It is not nearly as good as human revolution ultimate edition. They went deep with the microtransactions, which won't help you too much because this game is much easier to stealth through than HR was, except for a few parts. I have not played the DLCs but I heard one of them was good at least.

Not worth a buy, ever and at all.

It really is poorly optimized dogshit, which is no excuse considering there are better looking games that are way less taxing on hardware compared to MD. The UI by default is also a hideous cluttered mess full of tutorial and microtranscation bullshit.

>>15056665

>Razorcuck

Kill yourself tomorrow.

>>15056015

>How good does this and HR play?

They're like Deus Ex for dummies. I can say having finished HR it's not bad but it's no where as open ended as DX it's even inferior to IW in some parts, namely its physics and environment interaction. It also has a Mass Effect 3-esque "pick your end cutscene" button.

Both games also have retarded enemy takedown cutscenes when doing melee attacks, which are fucking stupid considering the context in how they play out. Even dumber is that the games reward you for "expediency" even though they take more time to perform in place of just sniping enemies from across a room.

Imagine if HR had a sizeable DLC that made cyborgs an allegory for niggers in order to masturbate over a US racial politics analogy.

>>15059366

drop the pretense that any of the deus ex games are for big brained autists. they're all highly streamlined.

(((OP))) is trying to shill the game by making a shill thread and then samefagging to defend the game. Don't fall for it.

>buying it

Just pirate the game if you're so damn curious.

>>15055427

If you liked HR it's worth a shot.

>>15055427

Sorry, but it's really not worth any time or money. I was really optimistic, and I loved Human Revolution, I even bought that stupid Deus Ex GO game for the hype, but MD just pales in comparison. The short of it is that Square Enix was and is still really getting off on "episodic releases" (see Hitman, the FFVII remake, etc.), and they wanted to release the "base game", then sell DLC story missions over time. I've never played any of the DLC missions, but as a result of their decision, the base game just isn't complete. It is ridiculously half-assed, and almost every frame of footage in the early trailers are of cut story content that got rewritten to never exist.

Chasing down the train station bomber, confronting gun-arm guy in his broadcast studio, none of this actually happens. It's just not worth your time, dude.

>>15074331

>The devs are a bunch of fucking jews.

The sympathetic girl characters have Jewish names. Blonde characters are evil because Hollywood hates blondes. US Marine Corps is presented in a somewhat unbelievable light regarding the female Marine. Black female pilot and black male pilot have unrealistic levels of skills. It is clearly politically correct. And yet I enjoyed it, so the p.c. poz wasn't heavy enough to really put me off my lunch. Just don't pay for it.

MD should have been an expansion pack for HR.

>>15055427

no , its not

their not going to make more games and he game ended with a cliff hanger

>>15055427

DE:MK is a singleplayer game with MICROTRANSACTIONS. Why the fuck would you want to support that cancer?

I also haven't kept track of that shit at all after it launched, but on launch it ran like absolute shit. Do not even bother pirating the game without looking at some benchmarks first. Don't listen to the fucking shills pretending otherwise.

>>15055453

The game continually crashed to desktop in the same place right before the end of the prison dlc. Only game i haven't been able to beat because of that. Kys nigger

>>15055440

>implying there is an ending at all

When the credits started rolling after the London mission, i realized i've wasted bandwidth by pirating this game.

>>15055427

It's a 5-dollars-or-less game or just torrent it

The game has really good environment and level design. The gameplay is okay too. The writing is noticeably worse than previous titles.

Where the fuck is Malik? She has not shown up yet. Who is this dumb bitch with the blonde and brown hair and why should I give a shit? Did they make Malik's death canon? Why doesn't anyone ever comment on the Hydron project and how the player's choice from the last game might've influenced the world going forward? Why is James Woods playing David Sarif? This is all pretty gay if you ask me.

>>15090038

She's alive, at one point in the game Jensen gets himself some cereals and there's a message from her on a piece of paper. She doesn't appear though.

>>15055614

You can just kill her. That's what I did.

>>15055440

it's the best game in the series if you want to take a combat approach, it's made to play like a shooter if you want to. The game is fun to play just for the AUG's alone.

A pretty mediocre game. And even worse attempt at being a "Deus Ex" game.

>>15090038

>Where the fuck is Malik?

The studio wanted an ugly female character who is strong and independent. It's quite ironic that this random city from Eastern Europe has more niggers than Detroit in DE:HR.

>Why doesn't anyone ever comment on the Hydron project and how the player's choice from the last game might've influenced the world going forward?

Your choice didn't matter. They were too lazy to make 2 different stories based on the endings of the previous game.

>Why is James Woods playing David Sarif?

The original voice actor wanted to be paid the same as the other people so they fired him. The official narrative is that the guy went insane.

>>15091315

>James Woods

Yo are you serious because if so I am installing right now.

>>15091415

It's not James Woods.

>>15091444

2/10 shit game

RIP Tong Si Hung https://twitter.com/DeusEx/status/1013461525498138624

I bought it dirt cheap too and put it down early into the game. The "le dead child throwaway NPC, please feel sad! ;(" bit invoked my Mass Effect 3 memories and gave me the impression that the rest of the story would be shitty melodrama if I pushed forward.

>>15055487

Ghost Master.

Be sure to also install this:

>http://ghostmaster.proboards.com/thread/2293/any-ghost-level-mod

"AllGhosts" Mod, which allows you to use Haunters you unlock in future levels on replays of previous levels

Optionally, you can also use this:

>http://ghostmaster.proboards.com/thread/3013/ghost-master-rejected-ghosts-mod

The "RejectedGhosts" mod, which adds back 4 of the cut Haunters into the game, though it gives you them at the start of the game and all 4 of them are really powerful for the early game, so its a bit unbalanced.

Both mods only work on a new game, so decide if you want them or not before you start playing.

>>15055427

SJW game.

>muh augs r jus liek wimminz n peeple o color

What hamfisted nonsense. If you're a nigger, it's not really your fault that you're a nigger. You were just born a nigger, you lost the genetic lottery. Tough shit. On the other hand, most 'augs' chose to become augmented, while Jensen is an outlier because he was met with extreme circumstances. As a result, the analogy falls flat on its face. Aside from that, the whole "aug incident" only happened because some privatized corporation, that put its own interests before that of the general public, used its influence to force a large majority of the population to receive an implant that made them susceptible to the whims of a single person's control in the first place. The point being, if you're a citizen in this world and you're smarter than a fucking goldfish, then you should be able to come to the conclusion that A) most of the 'augs' acted against their will and B) the whole thing was orchestrated by very powerful people who wanted more control than they were prepared to manage. This makes the issue one of corporate malpractice more than anything else.

The game's theme is a weak attempt at addressing the supposed "sudden resurgence" of racism in contemporary Western society, but the analogy is so fucking thin that you could spread a thimble of mustard on five loaves of bread and it'd be thicker.

Went on a marathon of Deus Ex in the last week, currently playing Human Revolution after the first two.

Have to say, i do really like it even if it does lack the freedom of movement you had in the first one and in most cases it lacks the subtly of Deus Ex (it does have some nice touches,like the displacement of Nation State for the creation of a "Corporation nation" and things like that thrown around in email/ebooks) and it has to slap you in the face with its commentary.

I would say that maybe without the name Deus Ex it would have been received better, even if Invisible War ( a thing i found interesting is how many more female characters were in this if you consider that in the first one,of memorable, there was only Anna Navarre and DuClare) wasn't that great. I'll probably try Mankind Divided, even if,for what i read, the characters are even less subtle and 2 dimensional and i fear my GPU will not be able to handle it.

>>15055427

Pirate, don't buy. Shitty business practices like >>15055439 says.

It's fun but honestly, just get the first game if you haven't already. It should be like a singular dollar maybe two.

>>15074275

>Also got invisible war with it, but who really cares.

Invisible War is better than both HR and MD.
