>>740035067Bizarre full scifi moment for a cyberpunk series
>>740035321This is one of those classic scenarios where the prequel set in the past ends up looking more advanced than the original because they have more fancy computer graphics tech.
>>740035441like the star wars movies. Or the Alien movies.
>>740035259Jensen got rizz tho
2027 is next year bros.... Deus Ex didn't set their timeline far enough into the future
>>740036382atleast we will all get our eliza AI gf
>>740036563>It's another video game sets its story in the future so you can imagine how cool the real future will actually be when playing>You get to the actual date and it's the gayest shit imaginable IRLI hate this fucking timeline
>>740036628I mean, if it was presented as gay and lame as it is now would you even have bothered to play it back then?
Official ranking of Deus Ex hubs:Hong Kong = Prague >> Hengsha > Paris > Detroit > Hell's Kitchen
>>740036628Bro the game predicted pure nightmarish dystopia
>>740037067Anything cool and interesting was stripped from it and replaced with gay and lame.
For me, it's the Omega Ranch biotech labshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_OuyN8sj4I
>>740039767Impressive, very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's favorite Ambient theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNG8i0orX-A
>>740035441>because they have more fancy computer graphics tech.No it happened because Eidos didn't give a shit about the OG and just did whatever the fuck they wanted. It isn't hard to follow an established art direction.
>>740035067At least it was before I fucked everything up
>>740040325The big excuse is that the world went to shit in the 2030s and 2040's after the MJ12 took over from the Illuminati because of major man made disasters, war and diseases and was a complete shithole in 2050 by the time the original took place and regressed except for the super rich who orchestrated it all. That's why HR is represented as the golden age for humanity.
>>740035067God, Hengsha is such a vibe, bros...
>>740035441I like to think that the future to Deus Ex's timeline became 2000s retro futuristic instead of modern from the newer nano tech
>>740040720Honestly not far off from where we are now how are the tech companies are sucking up the the resources for data centers and we average consumers get scraps and have to pay a premium for it. I wanna upgrade my pc.
>>740035491Talk shit all you want about them but the Star Wars prequel planets/aliens/factions/cities were kino
>>740036269Why is that woman not Malik?
>>740036269Jensen is a complete empath putting others over himself while JC is a sociopath
>>740041289>tech companies are sucking up the the resources for data centersthe water that comes out of data centers is just as clean as water everywhere else, and the reason that data centers cause brownouts is because the jewish power grid is designed to cause brownouts amongst the goyimIf you really think the west is the cause of environmental destruction, you are either a shabbos cattle goyim or of the jew pushing the propaganda
>>740041571>Jensen is a complete simp while JC is a gigachad
>>740041713total indian depopulation would help the earth and environment unironically
>>740035491In terms of technological advancement, Old Republic (4000 years before movies) -> prequel -> sequel>but they had more time to advance tech!They were at such a tech level that a few factories getting destroyed or the sith destroying an entire planet destroyed technology and all knowledge of how it worked and how to produce it. After most of the current stock of what was produced is gone and without serious investment to reverse engineer, it's just fucking gone. After the major galactic war and the purges between ep 3 and 4 tech regressed.
>>740041713I'm not talking about the water, I'm talking about how it gobbles up all the technology and the resources that make them. Fuck paying 500 bucks for a pair of ram sticks. It's also causing the consoles to raise in prices. A steam deck to get a 300 dollar price increase. All that shit. The consumer is getting priced out of the market because they're slurping everything up. People are still gonna be on 1060's in a decade. Luckily I got a 5080 for 899 before the price went up. (less than a steam deck now lol)
>>740042119If you bought a console or a steam deck you deserve to get ripped off
>>740042220What about paying 500 bucks for 32gb of ram for a pc? or is that a good deal?
>>740042119>People are still gonna be on 1060that is literally how it should be. That is game development, not slapping gayLSS onto UE5 slop written by pajeets and demanding a RTXXXXTREME 9090 TI!!!!!!!11!!!11111!!!!!!oneone
>>740041920Total indian subcontinent nuclear incineration is the only viable solution because nuclear incineration is the only solution to indian landfill overflow.
>>740039997God I love upper hengsha>hub never
>>740042337Yeah but I was kind of making my point to >>740040720How technology irl is also regressing for the average person because they will be getting priced out of it so it will probably stagnate or people will regress to using older technology. Kinda like the original deus ex compared to the HR timeline where the average person lives in a shithole with a CRT in 2050 meanwhile they got nano tech and AI for the super rich.
>>740035067Legit question, why did they build this quasi-Midgar again? Like the in-game lore reason, not just the devs deciding "a city stacked upon another city is cool af".
>>740035067I would shit from the top level onto the lower level several times a day. Then I would post on /hensha general/ about that asshole that keeps pooping on our favela and get them really riled up about it, but unable to stop it from happening.
>>740035067>Want to play an immersive sim>Remember the hacking minigame>Urge goes awayThis applies to many games.
>>740043057Just blow the doors up and save the auto hacking items for things that you can't blow up
>>740042720>surrounded by water>no more room to build and expand>stack another city on top of it>corpos and rich live ontop>poors and workers live at the bottomThat's pretty much it
>>740042720Well you see... uh...
>>740041571*smack lips* What a shame.
>>740042527>upper hengsha hub scrapped>montreal hub scrappedIt could be worse I guess, they could've scrapped the entire second half of the game for a sequel that'll never come out like Game Divided.
>>740035067Can't believe we'll have near full body replacement parts by next year. What are you getting bros? Fuckers from Detroit are lucky now that it's back to being one of the world's top industrial centres.
>>740043354Stop...
>>740043057I sympathize with that. I used hacking skip mods for several games over the years, including HR.
>>740042720When I get to this point in the dev's commentary I will tell you.
>>740041571Doesn't that depend on how you play the game?
>>740035067Wait a moment...
>>740043354But Squeenix was okay dishing out 100M for Forspoken.
Are there any other games where you travel around the world doing corporate espionage and uncover global conspiracies?
>>740043810Wait a moment this coming out from an elevator into a white monochrome room is just like Squeenix's hit game Nier Automata! There's even a "doll" robot lying there.
>>740035067How does it not collapse under its own weight?
>>740044362Ask your mom
>>740044415lol gottem
Narratively, it only makes sense to do a pacifist run, and you should be ghosting as much as possible. You're a corporate agent. You basically play as the equivalent of Elon Musk's personal glowie. Sarif is powerful and can pull some strings, but there are limits. You can't just go around genociding security guards.
>>740036382I remember when 2027 felt so far away
>>740041571That's only how JC starts, because he is so confident in the system that he believes the people it intentionally sabotages should just git gud. He starts behaving more compassionately pretty quickly.
Lower Hengsha is probably my favorite hub of all time. I love the music and Alice Garden Pods.
>>740035067>>740035321>>740035441Deus Ex Invisible War had upper and lower Seattle, and the Cairo Arcology surrounded by the Cairo slums, but they didn't bother to make a cutscene showing it from a distance so you just had to imagine the implications when you went through the different loading screens
>>740036887Another DX1 Hong Kong loverI also find the NYC levels drag on a bit too much, especially since you don't have as many tools at the start of the game
>>740044137Alpha Protocol except you're a government glowie, not a corporate spyInvisible Inc, sort of?
>>740044137Syphon Filter is the closest I can think of and even that is kinda reaching.
The saddest part is that the neo renaissance aesthetic never became a thing in our world.
