Can we finaly admit it was better than HR? Sure the story was weaker but everything else was better.

HR augs were absolute trash. Going from being able to run around invisible at the speed of light while hopping rooftops in the original deus ex to the utter garbage that was HR and "le context sensitive breakable walls for le takedowns and le three point landing electric shock" was one of the biggest disappointments in gaming, up there with Bioshock being a "spiritual successor" to SS2.
detroit > prague
>>724232859It was better, yes
Human Revolution was always the least deus ex deus ex game. After mankind divided came it made it seem laughable that people ever though HR was a faithful entry and they were just lying to themselves about being a return to form from Invisible war when it was more like invisible war than any other entry
>>724233045>worse characters>worse music>worse atmosphere>worse side questsWRONG>stupid gimmicky powersA staple of the franchise, or do you mean to tell me that JC canonically building a drone from scratch in the back of his neck is not stupid?
>>724233045One of the best FPBP I've seen in a while.
>>724233045>worse storyHR didn't have a good story either. By the time you first leave Detroit you can see the seams left by them rushing the game out the door. Coincidences, contrivances, people acting out-of-character to keep the plot moving, etc.>worse charactersTrue>worse music>worse atmosphere>worse side quests>stupid gimmicky powersNope>only one hubPrague competes with Hong Kong as the best Deus Ex hub
>>724232859They're too similar for me to really care about rating one over the other

>>724232859It was terrible. It had one of the worst environment design I've ever seen. If someone designed a game like that set in America they would be mocked by reviewers and it would affect review scores.
>>724238196>It had one of the worst environment design I've ever seenElaborate
i hate when a game pushed female love interests in your face. MD literally gives you three flavors of waifu in the first half hour and its actually offensive that they think it will appease you somehow
>>724238345Anon, the cashiers and waitresses aren't flirting with you. They are being friendly as part of their job.
>>724238345let me guess you are transgender
>>724238345The first half hour of the game is spent infiltrating a ruined hotel in Dubai occupied by terrorists doing an arms deal. No female characters are introduced until after this is over
>>724232859no because HR is a full length game, this game, while good for what it is, is more like a fun size deus ex.
>>724232859With games like this I often remember one interview CliffyB was doing about Gears 2.In it, he was asking how can Gears of Wars 2 get a lower score than the first game, how is it possible, since he put more game, more enemies, more mechanics, had better graphics, put more thought into the story, more dialogue, you get it. How can a game that it's "more" in every way than the previous one not be better.I think it applies to MD a bit too. The graphics are "better", its has more content, more dialogue, more story, better thought out guns, more augments. Yet I still rather replay HR.One big problem is that Prague is amazing the first time you explore it all, pretty good the 2nd one, and then its worse and worse every replay. But it's such an integral part of the game.
>>724232859Smiley is so luckyhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/xngBF-sWsLgturns out he's Adam irl
>>724232859As much as I like this game I can't forgive it for removing cool takedown animations and replacing them with simple punches or chokes
>>724232859The story is woke trash. They falsely equate discrimination against augs as the same as discrimination against dumb violent 3rd world invaders. It's textbook propaganda and I'm glad the series is dead.
>>724233045fpbpand no sovlfvl piss filter, HR is superior in every way
>>724241338You know, I'm kinda glad the series is canned for good, they can't ruin Adam Jensen with modern politics anymoreSame thing applies to another game series, Titanfall, which was abandoned in favor of liveservice BRslop, Respawn can't ruin Jack Cooper and BT anymore because they will never return to the series again
>>724241338I mean the augs just like immigration are problems created by the elite.
>>724241687I'm glad the "Adam Jensen is a clone" shit will never happen
>>724233045>worse side questslol
>>724241338>segregating dangerous augs who killed millions in a crazed frenzy is like segregating black peopleHuh, what did they mean by this??
>>724235257>>724241443First post bait post.>inb4 whining about "ERMM EVERYTHING IS LE BAIT"*brapppppp*
>>724233045>woke>he doesnt know the devs implied blm was a load of bullshit
DEGENERATE SHIT!
Did people just turn their brains off when playing this game? Its not woke at all. Its the exact opposite. Its chud core. It criticises shit like blm as a tool of globohomo to distract people from worse shit being done.
>>724238247Old buildings in Prague don't look like that. They just put in some generic pseudo-European buildings in the game that look like they were made by someone who has never even visited Europe. Those buildings don't make sense historically, architectonically or physics-wise. These walls wouldn't even be able to hold the roof. Interirors are generic American interiors that don't exist in old apartments Europe.The names of the streets are word by word google-translated at the time when google translation didn't even use AI. For example, there is an area in the city that should be called "Barrier", but in reality it's called "Hindrance". The store that they meant to call "Hobbies & Toys", which also doesn't exist in Europe, was called "Little Horses & Female Players". And then came a writer/designer who just thought those are the names of the people, who own the store, so he named the character "Michael Little Horses". Every sign or graffiti on the walls are in broken Czech with wrong diacritics, featuring letters that don't even exist in Czech. The Czech flag was upside down with wrong proportions and cut in half.
>>724242184Interesting, didn't know all that. It's disappointing when movies or games can't even bother hiring a local. Montreal is very multicultural so they can't pretend they couldn't find a single Czech person.
>>724232859>much shorter game>unoptimized as shit>plot ends immediately as it starts ramping upkinda forgettable
SEX WITH DELARA
>>724242181>It criticises shit like blm as a tool of globohomo to distract people from worse shit being done.not at all. Ultimately the main villain of the game is a big pro-aug extremist that killed the moderate They may or may not have had another angle, but we didn't get a sequel to flesh it out
>>724242184>Old buildings in Prague don't look like that.t. has never been to prague
>>724243339NTA I've never been to Prague. Is it true that buildings there defy physics? Got some pics?
>>724241887calm down OP, no need to shit your baby diapers
>>724241904>devs implied>implying leafcucks could ever go against their government, even in a videogamelmao
>>724243810>implying leafcucks could ever go against their government, even in a videogameWhy not? This isn't the United States so we've still got freedom of speech.
>>724233045>wokeMD is the ultimate pleb filter, holy shit.Unfortunately, you can never know if someone saying shit like this played the game and didn't pay attention, or if they didn't even play the game.
>>724241904>the devs implied blm was a load of bullshitNo they didn't. If you mean, ARC they were portrayed as a peaceful humanitarian organization with a handful of traitors working for the Illuminati.
It has always been better than HR, the real difference is unlike HR, MD doesn't explicitly spell out to you what is going on and requires the player to explore and read what they find. This did in fact filter a huge amount of anons.
>>724241904>>724244409The devs didn't imply it, it was stated outright that the ALM movement is just idiots being used to further the Illuminati agendaBut yeah, most people talking about MD didn't play MD.
>>724232859I liked Prague but it gets old quickly when you don't really get other hubsMaybe it's just me but level design, exploration and variety of solutions to them were better in HRAlso it ends on a cliffhanger
>>724233045>guaranteed replies
>>724232859how is the level design? HR level design was bad and enemies always had the same path behavior
>>724245630pretty much the same
>>724237714>HR didn't have a good story either.Yes it did.>Coincidences, contrivances, people acting out-of-character to keep the plot moving, etc.There was none of that.
>had to make an entire dlc with a "twist" ending just because brainlets missed the exact same thing ion the main game
>>724232859Deus Ex literally died again because of the piece of shit game.Human Revolution is leaps and bounds better than this slop. Now fuck off, contrarian faggot.
>>724245630Much worse. It is substantially more linear in Mankind Divided.
>>724245630Much better, don't listen to the retard above. Palisade Bank alone btfos anything from HR.
>>724233045FPBP OP is faggot.
>>724246494based buzzword poster
>>724245630Literally everything is worse in Mankind Divided. Only the graphics are better.
>anons in this moment are eurphoric as they are enlightened by their intelligence>plays a game designed to filter brainlets>gets filtered>REEEEEEEEEEE GAME IS WORSE THAN THE PREVIOUS ONES WHICH TELL ME ALL THE STORY WITHOUT ME NEEDING TO THINKnever change /v/, never change.
>>724246494Deus Ex died not because of the game itself, but because of AUGMENT YOUR PREORDER
>>724232859I keep telling this since the release of game. Its my favorite DeusEx game.
>>724233045What a low iq reply lol
Reinstalled HR a couple of months ago and got bored pretty fast.The world is bland, the story is bland, the characters are bland.Pure corpo-AA(A) slop
>>724248061As I like to say, it's like every bad early 2010s idea rolled into one game. Dialogue wheel, piss filter, preanimated takedowns, stamina meter, hacking minigame, cover shooting with no cool movement mechanics, movie game interactive cutscene into etc etc ad nauseum
>>724242725They had an external translator who they only hired to translate ambient NPC lines. He urged them multiple times that their google translation of signs and other stuff is terrrible and sent them correction of the biggest errors. They just didn't care. He felt terrible, because his name was still in the credits as the translator.
I never played mankind divided and only played HR but from all the footage and screenshots of MD it looked like the art style took a massive hit and it doesnt really look like it own game and looks more like a generic title. can’t explain it but never played it for that reason. Going to go back and play HR one day. Luckily I have it on disc with intact piss filter which is also why I never played the directors cut. It just works.
>>724232859MD was so pointlessly conservative in terms of writing and overall misguided I really can't give it anything. It really felt like the first episode of a 12 episode season they thought they were writing. I'm sure it cost a completely outlandish amount and they had no plan for what they'd do when it had mediocre sales. How am I supposed to give that any credit for making the gunplay like 12% better or whatever.
>>724250054Corporate work is always like this, no one has the slightest care for anything they aren't explicitly responsible for because they know they're going to be job hopping when it goes gold anyway and the success or failure of the overall work means nothing.
>>724232859nah it felt shorter so not better>>724242896yeah get me some of that illumipussy
>entire game is DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR LIES>anon believes the lies>"wow, what a woke game! such trash!"
>>724245630Its quite improved. I couldnt finish HR because it was so linear but MD on other hand is improved in every possible way.
>>724243339I literally live in Prague. If you can't see the difference between the buildings in the game and IRL buildings, you might be American. There's a reason why gothic buildings have arched ceilings.This tower is not even gothic or neogothic. It's just what a Canadian imagines when he hears "gothic". The building doesn't make any sense. You don't even need an architecture degree to know that.This is like when Bioware makes a castle and puts in a stone tower, that's standing on the top of the building.
Yes. The gameplay was top notch. Actually kinda felt like I was playing the original game.
>>724232859Looking back, I don't think I like either one that much
>>724250906Midquel writing for the trilogy that never came to be
>>724248061
>>724241338You didn't pay attention. The ARC / BLM parallel is about the riots and terrorism, not about the supposed legitimacy of the movement. How many woke outlets covered the fact that the mainstream media glazed BLM and made it swell in numbers until it started cultivating extremism? Would a woke story point out that you can exploit a grievance to create a race war so that the people can't rise up and fight their actual enemies?
