Deus Ex Children's Crusade #1
Anyone?
Anothe cover
I wonder how many lines from the first game will get spouted off in this thread?
>>79767469
Oh yes! Most certainly.
>>79767453
>Adam shooting his arm blades
That's not a thing that got added to Mankind Divided, is it
>>79767469
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
>>79767453
Is this new? Only Deus Ex comic I heard of with Jensen was when the third game came out.
>>79767500
Yes they explode and shit
>>79767491
we may not be able to contain it
>>79767509
How silly
>>79767508
Just released. It's a prequel story of Mankind Devided.
>>79767453
Deus Ex was dead the moment they turned it into a "franchise"
>>79767525
HR was pretty good.

It's decent but focuses too much on "muh H+"
The original is a tongue-in-cheek conspiracy nut's cyberpunk wetdream with the central theme of "power and security vs freedom"
While Transhumanism was one of the themes the original game touched, it was never at the core of it.

>Jensen's hack augs/software being that low
Unless there's some bullshit "but all his augs got wiped by almost drowning somehow" thing, he should be maxed out in everything after HR

I'm being triggered
>>79767686
Pushing the classical mythological allusions a little hard, aren't we
>>79767719
hehehe rofl :)
>>79767562
godawful if you wanted to do a stealth playthrough
>>79767672
these make the MGS4 ads looks subtle.
>>79767755
Par for the course after what happened at the end of Human Revolution
>>79767629
Exactly. It also abandoned whatever subtlety the original game had with its political theme, and kept throwing "symbolism" at you in the most obnoxious way possible. Because Darrow is Daedalus, humanity is Icarus, and Tai Yang is the Sun, geddit?
Of course this wouldn't matter that much if the gameplay was better, but it was only acceptable.
>>79767601
She wants the D
>>79767511
Why contain it?S'cool.
Yeah RIP
>>79768616
What a shame. It was a good thread, what a horrible way to die.
This is a good read, like the bond comics.
>>79767629
Same. I love DX because it's so crazy, it's like if /x/ made a video game. HR was great and probably the best we could ask for a DX game in todays market but I don't give a shit about augmentation and I'm anxious about MD since it seems to be more of the same.
>>79767578
How can you kill someone just because they want to be able to walk again? What the fuck.
>>79767655
>They didn't ask for this.
A lot better than I thought to be honest lads.
I have a big boner for the DX-verse.
>>79767453
Got a mega link?
>>79767666
>No Malik
Fucking mad.
>>79771634
but anon, Malikdied :^)
>>79771733
Only if you were bad.
This thread needs to last another four hours so I can talk about Invisible War and those two people who are only in spinoff material when I get back.
>>79771927
Well, here's a bump for you.
UNATCO?
>>79771927
I'll stick around to discuss IW with you, then.
>>79767525
anon is tsunedere for a video game, how cute
>>79771927
Funny story, if you kill everyone in the final mission of Invisible War, the OMAR take over and the world becomes a desert wasteland.
Reminder that this is what Eidos Montreal considers good writing:
"The Illuminati see themselves as an intellectual elite. If we are Icarus, they think of themselves as Daedalus, his father. The guiding hand of the parent. The creator and mentor."
Anna's lip curled. "I studied Greek mythology in college, and I remember that Daedalus was an arrogant bastard. The man built a maze of
death, and killed his nephew when he thought he might be smarter than him."
"And the Illuminati have killed, and worse. But the truth is, what you have seen is only one thread in the whole. What is taking place right
now, the assassinations that claimed the life of your friend and all the others, these things are only the precursor. This is just one battle in a greater campaign they plan to win. At any cost."
Her mouth went dry as the scope of that statement settled in her thoughts. "What do you mean?"
When Janus replied, she felt a stab of fear deep in her gut. "Would you like me to show you, Anna? I've been building a model of all the potentials. It is incomplete, but there is truth there. You could consider it... a glimpse of our tomorrows."
And then she heard herself answering. "Show me."
The hacker Janus did as Anna asked. The screen rippled, and the cascade of images returned—but this time they were almost too fast for her to
register, a barrage of light and color and sound that washed over her with hypnotic force. She couldn't look away, and across her scalp she felt her skin crawl. The image-storm stuttered and blinked like an old analog television signal, hazing as it tried to tune itself into her. Anna suddenly became aware of the augmented optics in her eye sockets, for the first time feeling them as if they were spheres of hard, heavy steel.Something was happening; Janus's images were moving in synchrony with the digital processors built into her artificial eyes. It was like a switch flipping inside her mind; and she saw—
>>79774518
—the skyline of a city made of tiers, fires raging, and weapons discharges sparkling in the twilight, chaos, and disorder rising like a tide—
—crowds of panicked people desperately trying to flee hordes of crazed rioters, all of them augmented, all of them mad with wild fury—
—a wall of video screens filled with a storm of screaming, hissing static, and before them an enhancile woman collapsing to her knees,
tearing at herself in crazed agony—
—orbiting above the Earth, a communications satellite shutting down, lights dimming, dish antenna retracting. Then video screens,
holograms, advertising billboards, cell phones, televisions, computer monitors, all of them showing the same message in bright red letters—
-NO SIGNAL NO SIGNAL NO SIGNAL—
—a field of crosses, made from machine parts and cybernetic limbs, behind a sunrise over barren grassland. In the distance, a string of fallen
power lines— —a ghost town of fallen buildings and empty streets— —a dead future
Bumping for >>79771927
Well that was alright, but it didn't feel really Deus Ex-ish. And I still wish Ben and Anna would get some more screentime.
>>79767666
>Not Malik
Fuck that.
>>79776163
You can stop I've read it already.
