is the sequel going to suck?

Of course it is.

Fuckwhy was the 2011 game so good minus boss fights?fuck its been 5 years
Who /sarifending/ here?
>>344151393
Everybody with a brain. Good Sarif ending is objectively the best ending.
>>344151393
Sarif did nothing wrong.
Number one..
>>344151512
wellhe did replace all of Adam's limbs when only one needed replacing- but it's an upgrade anyway
>>344151224
>is the sequel going to suck?
based on the footage that's out: yes.
hope Eidos leak a demo here again.
>Malik dying is canon
fucking consolefags
>>344150935
jesus...
I don't remember the graphics being that bad
>>344152124
why do people care so much about Malik?
I'd understand if she were hot, but she's a literal roodypoo, her voice isn't sexy, doesn't have a particularly attractive face or body. What's the matter?
>>344152124
>canon
Provide proof.
>>344151224
Yup.
>>344151393
Taggart or self destruct.
Is that you, Namir?
How come Deus Ex predicted the future while going all out into the overblown conspiracy wankfest and HR is just about how tough it is to be an unstoppable superman with metal limbs? I want conspiracies and predictions, not racism against richer people.
>>344152351
>>344152729
And who tells you HR doesn't predict the future?
Transhumanism is very real.
>>344152729
To be fair anon, genetic modification and augmented limbs are going to be common things in a couple decades.
>>344152729
HR is a soulless game made by completely different people who had the license to cash-in on the name

Am I the only one who's like this? It just felt more Deus Exy than pissfilter angsty mechanoman simulator

Human Revolution railroads the player by giving you a complete tosser of a protagonist who is supposed to be cold and emotionless but just comes off as annoying. You're meant to sympathize with his plight of being given augmentations against his will and having his love interest go missing, and if you can't then you're left with jack shit. The beauty of the first game was that JC was the perfect vessel for the player to experience the story, which was far more interesting than HR too.
>>344152593
Could you kill this whore?
Played through the game years ago when it first came out so I don't remember.
>>344150935

There, I just listed the only redeeming qualities of this game.
>>344151274
What a shame.
when the fuck is the new deux ex ip gonna catch up to j.c's time? literally the only thing i'm looking forward to
>>344153530
No. She's alive at the end, and in MD.
Jensen was too beta to kill her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPJCzMIsNt4
>>344153835
I actually couldn't believe that was Bob Page's voice actor. In the sense that I can't believe his voice has stayed the exact same for 20 years. He doesn't sound any different than he did in 2000.
>>344152039
A lot of people thought Human Revolution was going to suck too before release. Fag.
Although no Pritchard, no Malik and no Sarif VA does raise some concerns.
But I'm optimistic. The new characters can be as likeable as well.
>>344154417
Yeah, but did they show Jensen in a big room with 2 "squad mates" on the radio asking for protection while they do something and Jensen has to clear out waves of enemies?
I don't recall any segment like that in HR's presentations.
Also I'm REALLY hoping the fucking tagging/wallhacking is just an augment and not there by default. And that they didn't do away with the 1-9 inventory bar and square inventory management on PC
ARE YA WINNING, SON?

Inventory and augmentation menus seem very similar to the Human Revolution's.
It looks like they even added a crafting and a codex menu of some sorts.
I like it.
>>344152729

Now I want a cyberpunk game where you play as a cyborg who gets stranded from civilization and has to fight against nature while trying to upkeep his demanding cybernetics and stay alive. The way Jensen's augments are portrayed in the games seem like they're better than regular arms but I imagine they require constant maintenance and it would be neat if you had to deal with the consequences of not being able to care for your prosthetics.
About your thing about both game's narratives, the answer is obvious. Eidos Montreal just has worse writers, and designers who didn't know at all how to implement a narrative into their games. I don't know what to say. It's just so bad. HR's setting is more familiar than DX1's yet it spoonfeeds you everything so dumbly. Every stupid word that climbs out of a character's mouth clobbers you with the theme so tactlessly you can feel the writer's smug grin as they tapped out the high-school level dialogue. The bulk of lines feel very unnatural. Things get slightly better when you enter a "dialogue tree" until you remember that Jensen is as interesting as a piece of wood and as compelling as a wet cardboard bag. At no point in playing HR did I lavish the opportunity to hear Jensen talk about things. The game goes out of its way to remind you that you are not Adam Jensen by the way all the third person crap operates, and for its credit I am glad. I wouldn't want to be immersed into his character anyway. The only reason people remember him is because of his visual design and his voice acting. Good job to those departments. They probably had triple the manpower and ten times the budget Deus Ex's did.
>>344153152
I can't get it to run at a playable framerate the last time I tried. I think it only uses one core.

FRUITFLIES ADAM
>>344155565
To be fair, I thought Denton was just as stale and uninteresting as Adam.
But I liked Dentons voice and looks better, so he's still superior.
>>344155325
At first I was angry about the crafting, but then I saw you could make multitools.
>>344156754
It seems like the crafting is limited to some consumables only.
No reason to get angry.
>>344151341
Because it was pretty much streamlined and polished original.
>>344152253
She was a friend.
>>344151393
>Kill yourself and everyone else
>Stop humanity's progress and hand it over to the jews
>help a psychopath who's salty for not being able to have augments
>bend the truth to ensure a smooth progress and evolution for all mankind, provided they're not a welfare leech and can afford augments
Anyone with a functioning brain would choose Sarif
>>344156357
>Denton was just as stale and uninteresting as Adam.
No way. Denton had flavor. Denton was fantastically deadpan. His world was crashing down around him and he would roll his eyes and quip out a goofy "Suuure." He would outright mock people. When a character would engage with him, he would spit philosophy and talk politics surprisingly smooth. He was motivated purely by the desire to see what kind of weird thing the chaos of all the conspiracy would throw him next. He was hilariously blasé about it all. He was a perfect avatar for the player and was written and performed in a way that made the player genuinely excited to get into dialogue that very few games do, and with choice.
>>344157578
I guess you're right, I'm only at the ship level so far so he might have more in store.
>>344152593
>>344152593
If this bitch isn't reported as dead in the sequel I'd probably not buy it.
Fuck her.
>>344158110
She obviously isn't dead.
She's still alive at the end, working for Page.I mean, Page definitely kills her before dude sex, but who knows? she's problably still alive in the new game.
>>344158174
>>344158174
Oooh those motherfuckers.
>>344157770
Be sure to get the optional conversations. The best ones in the game aren't mandatory, since the game prefers to keep the mandatory stuff brief so it doesn't seem overbearing, and since the necessary stuff is linear there's obviously less choice.
>>344158174
Dude what if Malik is Anna Navarre lmao
>>344150935
Wow, Adam looks weird without augs.
The game will be okay. Not bad, but not to the point people will overhype it up to be
>>344157578
>He was hilariously blasé about it all
I want to say that that was because of some augments that controlled emotional responses, you know, to stop him freaking out/panicking, but that makes no sense when you compare him to Paul who are supposed to have identical augments.
But yeah, it was fucking hilarious.
>he would roll his eyes and quip out a goofy "Suuure."
I can totally imagine this, his shades not hiding his glowing pupils rolling around.
Been years since I last played DX. Any good mods/conversions out there? Something to make the game different enough from the original to warrant a playthrough.
>>344151393
Who cares? The endings were easily the weakest part of the game.
>LEL, PRESS A BUTTON 2 CHOOSE UR ENDING! :D:DD BRILLIANT
I can't even remember what I chose initially. I think I just reloaded and watched every single ending in sequence. It's not like they were much different from one another.
>>344152729
>HR is just about how tough it is to be an unstoppable superman with metal limbs
Yeah, I wish they'd go for something more interesting than "people are raci- I mean discriminatory against people who are different! Like people with awesome robot limbs for example" The whole 'mechanical apartheid' idea sounds dumb as fuck. Go more in the direction of GITS or the original Deus Ex than this sophomoric "discrimination is bad, m'kay" drivel.
>>344152253
I don't give a fuck about her, but I do give a fuck about developers pissing away player choices and making my badass rampage around the downed chopper become non-existant through shitty retcons.
>>344153386
>You're meant to sympathize with his plight of being given augmentations against his will
Pretty much. As much as it's a meme, the whole game is predicated on the player going "I never asked for this".
The game doesn't convey the disadvantages of being a cyborg properly. For example, having sex might be awkward, but it's never brought up. Instead, they just force this "everyone hates cyborgs" idea that seems completely baseless.
>>344155325
>batman vision
>see guards through walls by default
that's it
>>344153689
It's never gonna happen. They'd have to address the first game's plot and JC's decisions, and that's too hard for them. Besides, they want to keep their silly "neo-Renaissance" art style and piss filter. The original's art style is too down-to-earth and "boring" for modern audiences.
>>344154882
>BUT AAAAADAAAAAAAM....!
>>344155565
>The way Jensen's augments are portrayed in the games seem like they're better than regular arms but I imagine they require constant maintenance and it would be neat if you had to deal with the consequences of not being able to care for your prosthetics.
I like how GITS deals with this. It's not the main focus of the story, but full-body cyborgs are essentially forced to work for a company or government, because the maintenance itself is so expensive. Unless you're already rich as fuck, you NEED a sponsor to just keep functioning at that level.
But again, it's not the main focus, so it doesn't descent into this WAAAH, I'M A TERMINATOR NOW, POOR ME idiocy that you correctly said HR constantly beats you over the head with.
>>344158386
>Dude what if Malik is Anna Navarre lmao
Nah, different look, different accent, plus if her death is canon, then there wouldn't be much of her left to rebuild, considering she dies in an explosion.
>>344158535
I think it has more to do with the fact that they removed his mustache.
>>344159121
It seems like games these days trend to converge into these basic genres that all feel exactly the same. All shooters follow the CoD formula, so eventually all shooters will be exactly like that. All "open-world" games follow Ass Creed/Bamham, so they all need Batman vision and stupid collectibles. It's a shame.
>>344158839
Base game: GMDX
New campaigns: Malkavian, The Nameless Mod.
>>344159119
that exact point gets brought up in an optional conversation though
>>344161585
Sure, and that's all it should be regulated to. Instead, nearly every conversation is about how oppressed the poor augs are and they even had to put in the whole Neuropozyne thing to drive the point home that augs = oppression. It's boring and shallow.
Why does Jensen look so Venom Snake full revenge mode in MD?
>>344155325
>that 7:25

is Eidos real?
The reaction of the guy playing IMMEDIATELY going to the menu hoping no one noticed.

it's like someone raped his daughter or something

Haha, that's hilarious. Still, that's a minor issue for a game that isn't released yet. Still embarrassing.

Sell me on DE HR.
I've tried to start it a couple of times but I get bored very early on. When does it get better and ... what exactly is the game good at ?

>actually better than two previous games
now you have a reason
