What's your favourite level OP?
I love Paris except for the catacombs, I fucking loved the martial-law-feel of it.
Adam Brooks
Hong Kong section is my favourite, its where it really opens up and the music is great.
Cooper Myers
not OP but my favorite level is hell's kitchen when you need to help Paul escape
Landon Powell
Not op, but Honk Kong

Next Deus Ex should be set in a different universe, so there's a new conspiracy to discover.

The studio that made Mankind Divided is set to some capeshit garbage games for the next couple of years. Don't think we will see another Deus Ex game for years.

I've been playing Revision and apart from the obvious music downgrade its pretty great, why do a lot of purists hate it? GMDX obviously has the best gameplay but .jk...m,lp[k,.;.;'p/

Austin Cruz
The second one started the trend. And I still never really enjoyed HR. The takedowns just made the game much more trivial. I liked the improved weapon handling, but everything else felt like a downgrade.
Just finished a replay of the new GMDX. jesus christ that was hard but satisfying.
Luke Parker
I love how enemies killed by flamethrower are also one hit away from gib. You can shoot a flamed corpse with a crossbow dart and they'll turn to fucking mince meat.
Jaxon Sanders
Why is it always dead with you people? Can't you just let shit lie?
Grayson Jenkins

I tried playing hr recently, and holy shit who thought "press button to stealth" was a good idea.
Not only that, but if you don't use it, then you can't even hide when going up/down stairs.
But if you don't use takedowns you miss exp for no reason, yet even director's cut you still have to kill the bosses so get fucked if you didn't gain some levels to stealthcheese them or get combat stats.

Justin Davis
Dont kid yourself, would just be some cucked 'das racist' shit about augs. Maybe just scrap the second game from the canon, and make a new sequel. Use the HELIOS fusion ending. Doubt the NSF/MJ12 are going to just bow down. Would like to see a game about an NSF operative fighting remnants of police/mj12/unatco and whatever JC uses to enact his will. Let the themes deal with gov vs private control, censhorship, individual vs community, etc.
Brandon Anderson
Deus Ex has been dead since the remake retard
David Watson
I hate it. It pulls you out of the game. and makes stealth too easy. I love how its never mentioned that melee -> lower back is an instant knockout, but makes the riot prod go from kinda useless to really strong. HR just stealth button to takedown button.
Chase Baker
>remake
>using a joke video to prove a point
We get it, you're a contrarian that doesn't enjoy anything made past 2007. HR, MD and even (unfortunately) IW are Deus Ex games.
Luke White
IW is genuinely better than HR and MD.
Liam Wood
>I love how its never mentioned that melee -> lower back is an instant knockout, but makes the riot prod go from kinda useless to really strong.
Even though it is much weaker without the lower back targeting, the real fun part of the prod is forcing NPCs to watch a LAM explode right before them, or setting them up in the position for a GEP gun throw kill.
Nolan Gray

Carter Garcia
Mankind Divided was so meh, I'm glad actually the series is dead. I don't want SE to milk the franchise anymore with shitty mobile games and forgettable AAA games.

You know, now that I see it, a proper Deus Ex version of HR might actually be pretty good.
Gabriel Perez
I didn't think there was any way the fall could possibly be as bad as people said. But it was even worse.
It's almost scary that someone can spend millions of dollars to make a game that shoddy, and still have enough left over to pay off reviewers to praise and 5/5 it.
Bentley Nguyen

Parker Morales
Show me ONE 5/5 review for Deus Ex: The Fall
Dylan Young
I don't think they spent millions on The Fall.
Bentley Ortiz
You mean 1886 but no, it's actually a game calling itself Deus Ex.
Charles Wood
Unironically holding this opinion should be punishable by death.
Cameron Lopez
Have you even played IW or are you just parroting what you read on the internet without understanding how it earned that reputation?
Logan Gray
Yes, I've played every game in the Deus Ex series and apart from the Fall its the worst game in the series.
>pretends that all three possible endings from the first game happened at once, leading to an incredibly disjointed story that forgoes players choices (a staple of the first game)
>universal ammo, negating ammo management from the first game and being generally silly (I don't care how far in the future you are, a rocket launcher and pistol will not use the same thing to fire)
>incredibly small levels with loading times in between that take upwards of over 20 seconds even on modern rigs due to terrible optimization
>janky as fuck gameplay
Luke Davis
You forgot
>Dumbed down inventory management
>Dumbed down combat
>Dumbed down conversations
David Bell
Yes, it was bashed for being simplified, consolized and dumbed down.
Now let's take a look at HR
>press x for cutscene in place of melee
>3rd person cover shooting
>no lean
>cinematic ladders
>no skills
The levels in IW were actually decently designed except for being cut into parts.
Writing is bad in both so that's not an argument for either game, same for inventory management.
Janky as fuck gameplay is a staple of the series, and seriously please name one actual gameplay mechanic (what's left of them) that HR did better than IW. Combat in HR is a joke, you can stand in a room, aim a pistol at the door at head height and cut down the entire building as they run into your crosshair one by one.
HR was a logical continuation of IW, perfectly predicted in a funny picture years before it was even conceived. Except in the meantime video games became so bad that even this piece of mediocrity stood out above the average, while IW was a noticeable step down below the current trend (or so we thought back then).
Jordan Torres
No retort?
Matthew Miller
we were left speechless by your demolishing rhetoric
Evan Thomas
>(I don't care how far in the future you are, a rocket launcher and pistol will not use the same thing to fire)
Dude nanomachines lmao
To be fair though I kinda hated how nanotechnology was basically magic in IW but this really wasn't the most implausible part of it considering universal constructor technology was already an established part of the universe.
Jose Lewis
I also agree with this
The story and characters are more engaging in IW, even though it is a bad game overall.
Andrew Cox
did hr even have animals to kill?
William Miller
>I can't believe the Deus Ex series is fucking dead (again).
Why would this be surprising to you? With IW, The Fall and MD it has more bad or disappointing games in the series than actually good ones
Austin Wood
Thank came out of nowhere during my first play-through, I stuck around the night club area for a long time talking to the party goers in Hong-Kong and Paris. But I'm not a huge fan for Nevada, it felt empty to me.

vandenberg is the best level
Charles Fisher
It's been a while since I've last played the game, but Vandenberg felt like the last non-linear level in the game.
Dylan Scott
i actually liked HR's aesthetic and I thought the whole game was a good enough prequel to the original, even if lacking in some parts (boss fights, skills being merged with augs, AUGS AUGS AUGS)
it didn't really activate my almonds the same way the original did but it was fun
on another note, i haven't played mankind divided yet. is it worth it?

If you had fun with HR, you're likely to enjoy MD too, just don't pay full price for it.

Best combat music in the game by far.
Levi Walker
Jaxon Brooks
Just finished deus ex recently using Revision and still dont understand the hate for it besides the original music and slight change in art direction in some levels. you can change the models back and keep the classic soundtrack on so whats the bother?
pic related being morpheus looking a lot better
Samuel Martin
Tough question because legit every level in the game is fantastic, but I really enjoyed breaking out of the MJ12 base and realizing it's UNATCO, had some of the games best music as well
Julian Hall
for me mods that visibly tamper with art direction or "vanilla feel" are a no no. GMDX mod is far superior imho.
Connor Wright
but I mean it mostly just enhanced it in places or made it visually more engaging to look at in some places. Hell it even highlighted some areas with a lighting effect that the original did not. I would say that is considered legitimate good art direction. I mean most of them are esentially ported HDPI from what I know anyway, like gun models and optional character models.
I mean it isnt as bad as something like FakeFactory to Half life 2, but damn the reputation it gets is pretty sad for a love effort mod.
Joshua Price
Two things.
The first is bugs. I understand it's not a monetary product so I do give it some leeway there, but last I checked there was some keypad lock in UNATCO that would crash the game or simply not work, so they disabled it.
Second is consistency. Some textures are detailed, clearcut, and others are pixilated and onedimensional. I feel like that shouldn't be something a mod should leave lowquality like that.
I do use it myself, and enjoyed the patches they were pushing out, but it seems they're either done or don't know how to change the rest, so I can understand some people not wanting to use it.
Eli Torres
Its just HR 2.0. like the other user said. And being HR 2.0, the story wasn't good. Not only that, you only really get to explore one city which sucks. Let me correct myself, it's HR 2.0 with even more cut content.
Jaxon Garcia
none of your criticisms are shown from most of the bandwagon hate the mod got to be quite honest. A lot of things like "muh classic music" and "muh classic gun looks" was all simply by not looking in the options of the game and reverting it back if it pained them so much. The rest of it is generally quite consistent, I only finished it a week ago, and can tell you outright most of its criticisms are fixed besides the occasional crash. Pretty certain Deus Ex on modern systems would crash at some points anyway.
Daniel Jackson
From what I've heard, it's mechanically very enjoyable, but thematically empty.
Colton Butler
>Pretty certain Deus Ex on modern systems would crash at some points anyway.
I don't think I ever have stability problems with old games, but I have to go to great lengths to get them launch. I wonder which is more common.
Benjamin Turner
>had a dream last night you could skip the MJ12 Base in Hong Kong somehow
>spend all morning in bed halfway wondering if you could
Christian Cox
Rooftop sniping outside of the NSF base in New York was primo. La Guardia container hopping was bueno. Doing the mission impossible in Vandenberg was maximo. Hong Kong was like chino.
IW was mechanically flawed, but thematically and aesthetically on point. It was the Snow Crash to DX's Burning Chrome. Was fun and disappointing in alternating, equal measure.

Revision is just kind of pointless. The only things it changes are things that don't really need changing. Now that I think about it I have no idea why I was hyped for it for years
Brody Collins
The new levels looked neat in previews, it's really amazing how badly it all turned to shit at release.
Carson Fisher
Please stop, I've replayed the game last month for the umpteenth time. I have other games to get to, anons.
