o/
preloaded already.
probably a mistake that i should get yelled at but... fuck it, i like deus ex so i bought it! if you don't like that reddit you can sue me!
-
@accalia I kinda felt bad because if I didn't preload it I wouldn't get to play it til Wednesday, but I am really anti preorder. But most of the game reviews have been decent.
-
... what is this?
-
Game being released tomorrow.
-
@lucas1 I got that much. But what are they doing to the holiest of PC gaming properties?
-
@Weng Releasing a sequel to the prequel. The last one was faithful by flawed but a decent game (it wasn't the original I understand), this one seems to be the same.
-
@lucas1 I played the prequel until I hit a save-breaking bug (critical NPC managed to get into inaccessible space). It wasn't bad.
-
@lucas1 said in Deus EX: MD:

Absolutely. (Odd, I heard the word spoken in my head straight from SC1)
@Weng said in Deus EX: MD:

So you're saying you never asked for this?
-
Wait. Which one is this a sequel to? I just remembered there was another one that I literally blocked out of my memory.
Human Revolution = This is acceptable.
Whatever the other one was = You cannot make sequels to that which does not exist.
-
@Weng You are thinking about the tablet game that got ported back to PC that was awful.
-
@lucas1 This predates tablets. Invisible War?
-
@Weng No there was shitty tablet game that was after HR, dunno what it was called but it was shite.
-
@Weng To the best of my knowledge, the timeline is something like:
Human Revolution -> tablet game -> Mankind Divided -> Deus Ex -> The Fail War
-
Le sigh. I guess I need to play HR.
-
@Weng said in Deus EX: MD:

Invisible war was the crappy one. Human revolution was good. This is a sequel to human revolution. AFAIK it still plays before the original.
-
Likely to buy it, but will wait for reviews saying it's not crap, and for any serious bugs to be fixed. Depending on how bad my backlog is, might wait for a GOTY edition with the DLC included.
-
@Weng Tablets weren't a thing during the IW release time. It was an xbox port and it was obvious.
-
@Kian most have said good things so far apart of polygon ..
-
@lucas1 Sure, but until the game releases, that's marketing. I'd rather wait for actual users to say it didn't constantly crash or had other obvious performance or stability issues.
-
@Kian Depends who are reviewing it
The Guardian gave it a 3 out of 5 which means they probably means it is sexist or racist in some sort of obscure way. So a 5 out of 5 for normal people.
@tufty like making obscure racist remarks. So he should either love it or hate it ... I ain't sure.
-
@lucas1 said in Deus EX: MD:

That's expected, since the main character is male and carries guns.
-
- If it is male it is sexist
- If it is a male with a gun it is very sexist
- if it is a women it is okay
- if it is a woman with a gun they are just a dude with boobs and thus sexist.
PROOF all men just want to rape ..
-
@lucas1 Shh, Yami might show up and make gross generalizations, painting you in the worst possible light, and then mute this thread!
-
-
-
@Magus Nor for me.
-
@lucas1 said in Deus EX: MD:
@Magus Oh noes !!!
No need to paint you in any way. You're doing just fine on your own.

Why would cyborgs need Markdown? Can't they use a more efficient markup language?
-
@ben_lubar better yet, just store a compressed version of the target text, no need for markup
-
Deus EX: MD
I think Deus Ex is more about hurting people than healing people, so that title isn't really appropriate

They released a video titled "The Mechanical Apartheid", since the game is about people with augmentations being discriminated and segregated. Some idiot wrote a rant about "you can't call it apartheid because apartheid was a south-African thing and these guys are not south-African they're not even black like OMG!!!!" Then someone released a promotional art piece for the game where there was a sign with "Augs Lives Matter" on it, and things just went apeshit.
Anyway, if it's at least as good as Human Revolution, I'll be playing the shit out of it.
-
Preloaded it yesterday.
-
Apparently the game uses the term "SJW" during an in-game discussion on cyborgs

FTFY.

Hey we just made this game about discrimination and how bad it is!
Wrong kind of discrimination.
Bu— wha— aw forget this, next game will just be super sexist and racist, I'm done trying.
-
So, game is nice. Has some issues, though.
For instance, I was using the "V" menu to bring up quick access to items and, out of habit, hit "Esc" to get out of this menu (which of course, brought up Options instead). Upon exiting the Options menu, I couldn't dismiss the quick access menu, effectly requiring me to quit to the main menu.
And Breach just had a CTD upon trying to modify a weapon. Interesting game mode, though - has a very strong Cyberpunk / Shadowrun vibe.
-
@anonymous234 I am stuck and I think it maybe a problem with the bloody game. At train station they won't let me pass, I spent my Praxis points on evertthing hacking and I can't fight my way past (just can't) and the only other path requires a rebreather ... not great.
-
*sticks fingers in ears*
I can't hear you, blah blah blah!
-
Argh, I worked out a hacky way to get past them. I just lead them round corners and used the quick take down. HR didn't make you do shit like this.
-
Was trying to play stealth and at some points is seems impossible to do that. Nice one guys, the first one was the template ... we just want the first one again with better everything.
-
Audio acting is ace if it syncs up ... it doesn't always.
My rig btw for anyone thinking of buying this is a 960GTX (forget the manufacturer), i7, 32gb of ram and 2 SSDs (one of OS an the other for games) and 2 traditional HDD drives (data, code).
Running on High with tesselation. Their "in game skype" that the game uses looks a bit shit but I think that is intentional, as the same models on the loading screens look ace.
Honestly not sure if I like it yet. I really liked HR in the first few minutes.
-
So far, I like the game. It feels like Human Revolution did, and that's a very good thing.
That said, I'm still very early in the game, so it could easily take a nosedive from here. I hate that they've introduced pay-to-win elements, though.
-
I think I already figured out how to cheese the AI on a stealth/pacifist run.
Throw object at wall, wait for dumbass to investigate, hit on head, drag to pile, rinse, repeat.

You can buy credits, levels, health, ammo; whatever you need, with real money.
What a coincidence, the game is now much more curmudgeonly with these things than its predecessor.

:-(
Oh, well, as long as it's playable & fun without buying extra stuff. (I don't really have time to get into a new game anyway, so who knows, maybe it will be on sale in a month or two.)

Well, the AI in human revolution wasn't exactly genius either.

My inventory was full by the time I reached MC-kun's house, and then I opened the wall chest and pressed escape, which made it so only escape was a valid button from then on. I gave up for the night.
