What does Yea Forums think of the modern Deus Ex games?

HR was okay and fun times were had when some of the devs shitposted with us when the journo demo leaked

Deus Ex > Invisible War > Dogshit > The prequels

Yea Forums would appreciate the fact that there is a big guy 4u joke in the director's commentary of deus ex hr.

HR was great
MD was okay

MD has the best gameplay.

did Sarif's VA Say it?

no, i just posted a picture of sarif.

it was one of the designers commenting on barrett, the first boss.

MD was fucking amazing taking into account that I bought it for 8 bucks

>Invisible War greater than anything
Opinion discarded

Human Revolution was excellent, I have yet to play Mankind Divided

Better mechanically and in terms of a detailed interactive world. The plot was shit but the gameplay was better.

I love seeing Yea Forums get triggered by the Aug Lives Matter shit in this game.

If you played it you'd know the story is about how the movement and all the social unrest around it are contrived by the elites to divide society as a means of control.

Exactly like what's happening in real life and exactly what every user who shitposts about the game's story without having played it falls into. Really activates my almonds.

both good games, while no where near the original they did still do it justice. Jensen is a great protagonist, MD is fantastic but too short

>story-focused game
>story's premise makes no sense whatsoever
garbage, utter garbage

you are mostly right but you should still go back to twitter or wherever the fuck

this, after finally playing the game I was shocked with how Yea Forums chimps out over the aug shit, yet in game they are just a platform by page and the Illuminati to further divide the society and regain control through other means

Shit story and setting. Shit characters in MD, too.
Excellent gameplay.

I'm of course referring to the entire populace going apeshit and rioting over... artificial limbs. Because if you buy a million-dollar arm you're stealing the job of cashiers and other lower class workers..? I don't know it makes zero sense

Born and raised here user. I wish I could leave.

P.S. not gonna stop using page breaks just because you faggots are obsessed with reddit or whatever the fuck

Does MD really that bad?
I liked DE1 and HR, IW was disappointing but not bad.

I'm talking about you referring to Yea Forums as a single entity and as if you're not here on this fucking website and are somehow different.

sure thing great gameplay

its another one of those "could have been great but devs got greedy" sort of games

it wasn't the devs

it's not like it's an organic Yea Forums thing
every time a game comes out with a plot like this, there's a propaganda campaign to convince us not to play it

i still remember the endless threads about Mirror's Edge 2, criticising gameplay like the whole thing was irredeemable trash
... then I played the game, and the parts all those *many* *many* threads were making out to represent the whole game, were actually a short linear section from the final level

meanwhile the story was mostly about how "corporations" are actually basically fronts with unlimited power run by aristocratic families pulling game of thrones shit because they think they're superior to the rest of us
:thinking:

MD is just an expansion pack for HR. If you know what you're in for, you'll probably enjoy it.

>but devs got greedy
But none of the microtransaction shit affects the game in any way unless you actively try to go out of your way and engage in it.

>:thinking:
jesus christ you fucking faggot

Then it was the producer's fault, communist frenchmen.

MD is by no means bad. Hell, it's even great and Prague is an absolute joy to explore. The problem is... it's half a game. It desperately needed an another Prague sized (or even slightly smaller) hub to explore plus the main story literally ends when you think it just gets going. Iirc then wanted to split Mankind Divided into two games but Squeenix resisted and thus MD ended up being released "unfinished".

Liking the game overall doesn't mean I liked every mechanic.

I don't trust companies so I have to assume the hardest difficulty is balanced around micro transactions.

don't forget when that nig chimped out and started shooting cops in texas

First nu-Deus Ex: fantastic
second one: never played it

It outed all of the fake Deus Ex fans on Yea Forums

>"oh my gawd guys I love Deus Ex!!"
>"Invisible War is so shit and casualized, right!?"
>HR comes out and they actually play one of the games for once
>"WOW! This is so great! Not as good as the OG but so good!"
>They continue to call IW casualized
>They fail to realize IW is less casualized than HR and MD

It is a very interesting scenario to see years of discussion suddenly be revealed to just be bullshit. I can guarantee you 90% of the people who complain about IW never beat it, and of the remaining 10% half of them probably didn't finish it or get any significant distance in the game. IW is actually a pretty good game. It is more complex and complicated, and with a better story, than HR and MD. Now, I really like both HR and MD, but I don't see how it is possible to hate IW with every fiber of your being but somehow jerk off to HR and MD. They're all so similar in features that were taken out, they just had different things removed or put back in, with IW having the clear edge in terms of being most similar to classic Deus Ex.

If you're one of the people who has never played IW and just says its crap I genuinely recommend you give the game a try. There are some easy to install fan patches/mods that restore some cut content and fix up some bugs. The game is much better than its reputation. If you like HR and MD you will most likely like IW.

It happened everywhere. There were niggers in st louis sneaking up behind officers and shooting them in the head

New DX feels more like a poor man's MGS. MD has amazing world design though

i didn't mention black lives matter; I just wanted to know what the fuck you were talking about

i don't remember the threads making that connection back then, but what I do remember was endless threads with the exact same out-of-context gameplay clips, deliberately misrepresenting them as the open world gameplay when they turned out to be from a single end-game setpiece

i don't remember any black lives matter stuff in the game either so this sounds like inflated idpol faggotry to me too, exactly the kind of thing I was talking about

MD and DLC is 6 bucks rn, gonna play after my other games

How can it be a poor man's MGS when it's better than MGS in every conceivable regard?

Mirror's edge 2 took a dump on everything that made 1 good. The artstyle is miles below 1, it's so fucking bad the game flat out looks uglier despite being a generation more technically advanced. You have a fucking "speed up instantly" button, making the entire fucking core gameplay loop irrelevant. And they gave up the godlike level design to try and suck up to ubishit players with their open world crap and rpg bloat. That's the entire fucking gameplay portion gone. Good levels, and satisfying movement. For what? Trying to turn a goddamn racing game into skyrim. Then there's the PR disaster of trying to cast fucking Ainsley as faith, or rebooting the series for no goddamn reason. The only positive from 1 left standing is the OST.

yeah, it's been fucking ages since I went over it. It is ugly. I need to properly annotate that shit, and make it modular or something. It's long, and some of it's kind of weighing down the more foolproof shit like the seething/cope spam etc.

Catalyst looks way better than 1, stop smoking crack

shut up boomer.
the writing is literall netflix tier fuming trash

I'm pretty sure they didn't even a fucking art director for 2. It looks horrendous. There's not one fucking trace of the style left. There's all of one area that doesn't provoke my gag reflex.

*zoomer

IW was literally a christmas cash grab and a bad game.

loved both games, although Mankind Divided ended too abruptly ofc

I played HR and like it somehow, my only regret is there never being any upper Hengsha missions.
I skipped MD, did I miss anything? How is it compared to HR? I really liked the feeling and atmosphere or HR.

>IW is actually a pretty good

Attached: 1545643614064.jpg (1340x874, 106K)

HR was obnoxious with the tired cliche plot of HURRR RELIGION BAD. Despite that, I was able to play the game and enjoy it, especially the director's cut with better boss fights. I drew the line at MD because I'm not paying to play some #blacklivesmatter #killwhitey garbage. Devs that pull that shit can eat a fat dick all the way to the unemployment office.

HR's yellow tint makes me nauseous desu.

Human revolution was based, the pissfilter was pretty cool too, shame they didnt just give you the option to change its color or turn it off.
Wish there was just more too the game, everytime at the first few levels you can max out the invisibility and the energy, shit lasts forever

They were fun enough, but they had nothing interesting or believable to say about the near future. People are not going to replace their limbs with expensive cybernetics to be better manual laborers, and there isn't going to be a populist backlash against it.

MD is a HR expansion pack.
Atmosphere isn't quite the same, story and characters suck too.
But the gameplay is there. It's about half as long but given how cheap the game is these days that shouldn't be a problem. It's mechanically better than HR, more viable approaches than before and more augs to choose from.

fucking hell I could go for another one of these games
MD is one of the only games I've ever felt compelled to replay
I never did finish that Prison DLC though, the NPC dialogue was pretty ridiculous, felt like I was talking to Fallout 3 NPCs.

>Atmosphere isn't quite the same, story and characters suck too.
Sad to hear that, I knew they changed Sarif's VA and that started the worrying train with me.
Eh, might give it a go,at least for the mechanics. Thanks user.

>I never did finish that Prison DLC though
You should have. The ending is pure kino.

Sarif only appears in one side quest. Pritchard's only in one of the DLCs, and it sucks. It really does play best if you pretend it's a HR expansion pack that somehow got a standalone release.

>immediately picks up the phone
I kekked.

Because they've been getting pumped with propaganda since they were children. Hell this generation's is so bad because they were completely raised by facebook.

I liked them both. Hr was better, but md was good too. No kill and steath only playthroughs are always extremely comfy. FFS RELEASE NEW DEUS EX ALREADY

Nobody really knows why anything happens.

HR is good but not as much as MD which is kino. Prague is objectively best hub in the whole franchise.

Both are great games and manages to be relatively faithful to the original while also feeling modern. Pacing in both games could be better, MD especially gets really boring by the end since you get fucking sick of the Prague hub. It's a shame, MD could be a masterpiece if it was better.

I'm really, really sad they aren't making more of them and that Eidos is now stuck making soulless junk like nu-tomb raider and capeshit. It's clear that Eidos was in their element when making Deus Ex. The games were by no means flawless but damn if I didn't thoroughly enjoy them.

I'm wondering, though, what parts of Eidos do what? What happened to the faggots who made Thiaf? Those can fuck off and make mobile games for all I care.

Fuck off with your dead channel, peedor.

>basic bugs
youtube.com/watch?v=kUrtNiU-WJQ

Both of them were pretty damn meh but still alright. The kind of games that are fun to play once and never touch again. Seriously, the tedium of just the loading screens involved in moving around Prague is enough to make you never want to redo side quests on a second playthrough.

youtube.com/watch?v=pVHCPPZRa48

All I remember was getting to the end and teaming up with the mercs cause they made killing everyone sound like a lot of fun.

>the tedium of just the loading screens
I honestly had zero issues with that. Just have to alt-tab and wait a few times, not that big of a deal. What sucked more was passing the same patrols several times back and forth during curfew. As if a certain 2004 game wasn't a good enough example of how it's not taffing fun.

>You have a fucking "speed up instantly" button, making the entire fucking core gameplay loop irrelevant
>he never used the sideboost in 1
thanks for outing yourself as a fucking casual/consolefag

There was none of that in the game though.

Or did it just go over my head because MD is a mess?

One and a half godly game

His acting really ascended right there.

I still don't even want to play MD. Human Revolution was really good, even if it could've just used more. Being able to come up with creative solutions to everything was really nice. I brought a hacked turret up into the boss area where you fight the last of those merc cyborgs. I didn't even have to find him. Also, even though the ending you got was a pick your end nonsense thing, it still felt really well capped off. Bringing back Adam, flipping the world back, and ruining the art direction makes me hate the sequel.

>ruining the art direction
I agree, should have been pink and white.

>augs go mad and literally murder and rape several million people enmasse
>NO FEEL BAD FOR THEM GOYIM THEY ARE OPPRESSED UNJUSTLY
Yeah fuck off. I don't even get the option in game to call out people for their bullshit considering these people were ripping the heads off babies a year ago.

Fuck Eidos for not keeping it in the main game, it would've been great if you could come into it with all your skills and items but starting from scratch for such a ridiculously short DLC was fucking stupid

Here's another

>Eidos
It's all squeenix.

>HR's yellow tint
They fixed it in the Director's Cut edition at least.

I meant the design philosophy that built up the world in the first game. They were playing up the renaissance idea. We got a cyber victorian theme with some of the fashion trends coming out of the ridiculous fashion shows of the 50s and 60s. That, was in turn mashed against the hard utilitarian reality of people who have to make do. Having the two hubs really played well into this. Not to mention going from filthy streets of industrially revitalized Detroit, to pent houses and sanitized manufacturing facilities. I might actually go back and replay this. My point was that flipping the story and ignoring that part of the art feels wrong. The second should have had a different feel, and different protag.

>fixed
the games graphics got downgraded and the yellow tint was replaced with a grey tint that sucked ass

For real? Fuck sake, why do all remasters/re-releases fuck the aethetics/graphics all the time? Is there any exception to this?

The plot was already shit in HR

>for real?
How can you not notice that its the downgraded version? everything looks like total ass. the made the DC for the WiiU and just ported it to other systems, this caused more bugs and issues than the OG version as awell as running far worse while looking much shitter at high settings

Good games, not so good Deus Ex games

>How can you not notice that its the downgraded version?
I didn't actually play the Director's Cut, only the original. I just saw that they removed the yellow tint so I assumed it was better.

the problem is that the yellow visuals weren't just achieved with a filter, every asset had yellow textures, so they couldn't just simply remove the piss filter

The ending is a really anticlimactic “to be continued”, Malik is replaced by a random btitish black guy, and the politics get heavy handed at times, but I enjoyed it more than HR. Also it has some great music.

Why do I recall this as being pasta?

The atmosphere is great. It's just different, very depressing. Works well.

human arm is weaker and gets tired, aug arm is stronger and doesn't

how do you think that has nothing to do with jobs?

Human Revolution was great, Mankind Divided not so much. Not cuz of the gameplay or graphics, but because it takes place mostly in the eastern bloc, which is uninteresting as fuck and everyone looks potatofaced.

But the damn augmentation would cost a goddamn fortune in the first place. It will never pay itself off.

I've no clue. I wrote it just now, maybe someone just shared similar sentiments.

If there's anything it didn't desperately need, it's that. Prague is fucking packed.
It wasn't ever split into two games, the story was split to make two full games. That was retarded, but still, that's what they did, and MD is a full game of content if you don't rush through it.
The worst thing about it is that a sequel is overdue.

Are you kidding me

You do realize that the Aug Rights hubabub was just a ploy for the Illuminati to divide and conquer, right? GOSH, THAT'S JUST LIKE WHAT JEWS DO IRL BUT VEE TOLD ME THAT DEUS EX IS BLUEPILLED!

Mankind divided has pinko commies. I rest my case
