Last I checked there was a full fitgirl repack with all the AUGMENT YOUR PREORDER bonus shit and DLC built in so I don't have to worry about that, but from what I remember being discussed it's still a half finished game after the 2nd act and then of course there's the pozz.

But since I didn't ever play it and ignored most of the threads about it when it released I don't have a clear picture on it, besides Page actually being a relevant character in the main storyline which could win me over since I'm a sucker for continuity with the original. Anyone that bothered to play it want to give me the rundown if it's worth the time?

He's not really. He shows up for a little bit but he's not present for a good 90%. Otherwise the game is just like HR but with a little better gameplay and a little worse story. It's also pretty fucking short. I think it only took me twelve hours. Which is a shame cause it actually comes with NG+ this time to you can start again with all your augments, but it's too short to make that option fun.

You did it in 12 or so hours? It took me 80 to complete the main game and Jensen stories.

Maybe I am just retarded.

ON THE LAST EPISODE OF DRAGON BALL ZEE

>Hugh Darrow activated a kill switch that turned all the augs into zombies!

>Goku and friends traveled to the south pole to shut it down, only to be confronted by the ultimate life form!

>The ultimate tournament for the fate of mankind was held at the bottom of the sea floor!

>With one final energy blast, Goku defeated the Hyron Project and saved the day!

>Three years have passed since that fateful confrontation, and winds of change blow for the ZEE FIGHTERS

>Can our hero Goku manage to adapt to civilian life, now that the war is over?

FIND OUT NOW, ON DRAGON BALL ZEE

But seriously, DXMD's story is vague and nonsensical. From what I gather, Jensen has moved on from Sarif Industries, which is new defunct, and operates as a field agent for an anti-terrorist organization. He's assigned to watch over an arms deal that is taking place in the ruins of a resort complex that was never completed, and that involves an asian criminal syndicate who're trying to offload some hot aug products to motherfucking ISIS. Everything is fine, until it isn't, and the deal is crashed by a group of elite mercenaries in gold masks who storm the place and attempt to make off with the product.

Shit goes sour, but ol' Adam saves the day. A few months later, while en route back to his new headquarters in Prague, a local train station gets bombed and a bunch of people die. Now, we've got two plot threads going on at the same time. The game hints that there's something more substantial going on with the masked mercs, but you never follow up on that lead and are instead sent to investigate the recent bombing. You meet some faggot anarcho-punk in a bookstore who explains why all your augs are missing. You meet a bunch of other secondary characters at the headquarters, including a psychologist who is later revealed as one of Page's agents who was sent to keep tabs on Jensen.

Aside from this, the whole bombing story thread leads Jensen to uncover some kind of conspiracy that is happening between local gang members that have ties to a terrorist organization, which itself culminates in a final confrontation with one of the terror group's more radicalized members, who attempts to set off a series of bombs in order to destroy a set of buildings as some kind of hamfisted assassination attempt, or perhaps a really bad Joker impression.

All in all, the side quests in the game shine, but the main storyline isn't anything to write home about. As for "pozz", there's nothing overtly unpalatable, aside from the flimsy allegory that attempts to impose the idea that undue prejudice of augmented people is equivalent to racism. This is retarded merely because people in this universe have just cause to be suspicious of augmented individuals. In the previous game, Ty Yong Medical, the corporation that finances the LIMB clinics, manufactured a kill switch that was distributed en masse to all the world's "hanzers", which itself allowed the CEO of Ty Yong to make everyone who had it installed lose their sanity, and at the flip of a switch. You'd be scared too if you lived in a world with mechanical half-humans walking around who might start going on a killing spree at any given moment.

If you liked the previous game, you might like this one.

>Page actually being a relevant character in the main storyline

They already made references like this in the previous game. It was implied that Manderly of UNATCO forced the Detroit Police Station to cover up the incident that happened at Sarif Industries, in which Jensen nearly lost his life. At the end of the game, it's implied that Bob Page is a member of the illuminati, the group who financed the Hyron Project and who allowed Megan Reed to discover the secret of Jensen's DNA, which is apparently incredibly compatible with augmentation technology. In this game, Page is reeling from his failure in the previous game, and has attempted to keep a shorter leash on Jensen by forcing Sarif Industries to go under, and by appointing him to the aforementioned anti-organization. I guess Page is secretly financing the not-UNATCO so he can keep Jensen busy with bullshit while some other and more important shit happens behind the scenes that we never fully get to see.

I didn't finish Human Revolution because it was piss easy, and incoherent. The silenced pistol is the most overpowered gun in any game ever. An why the fuck can't I punch a guy without using a battery?

If MD isn't any better than that, then it's not worth playing. I certainly wouldn't play it for the writing when "muh bigotry" appears to be the centerpiece of the narrative.
