What the fuck were they thinking?
You fix the firewall yet?
>>337108481
I have no idea.
I'm offended that Square Enix decided to put a good game out that I had to play from start to finish
>>337108481
>"Why don't we make another Deus Ex game?"
Probably something like that. A risky move for sure after the catastrophe that was IW but it paid off.
>What the fuck were they thinking?
Let's hire Michael McCann to make one of the greatest Vidya OST's ever.

It's a falseflag OP to get us actually discussing HR rather than shit post about it.
Positive threads sink to the archives.
Shit posting threads stay up.
>>337109031
It's a great game?
>>337108481
They didnt want to fix the god damn firewall yo they think because im a swat i dont know shit fucking pritchard more like prickchard amiright megan
>>337108481
Fuckin' newfags who haven't played Invisible War don't know what a bad Deus Ex game looks like.
>>337108481
>So I told Eidos Montréal to make a great game and they did it, the absolute madmen!
>>337109341
I think Deus Ex: The Fall managed to top the legendary infamous Invisible War in terms of shittiness.
>>337109526
Well, The Fall is technically a mobile game, so it doesn't count. Calling a mobile game shitty would be redundant.
>>337108481
Hardly a bad game, but nothing compares to the original.

>>337109341
>I haven't played the game but I hate it because /v/ does
Fuck off, newfag. IW was fucking great. The only downside is small levels and simplified gameplay. Still it's plot was one of the best among deus ex games.
>>337109610
Plus if we're counting awful exports to non Mustard Race platforms as games, then Starcraft (N64) and Command & Conquer (PS1) are some of the worst games too.
What do I need to do to get a voice like Elias Toufexis? Do I need to get throat cancer? How many packs a day would achieve that?
>>337109031
I never played the original Deus Ex but loved the shit out of Human Revolution, what does that make me?
>>337109760
A retard that never played Deus Ex.
>>337109623
I hope we see the birth of him in MD
>>337109710
>IW was fucking great. .
lol
>>337109710
Well I mostly agree with you. I really liked the setting and storyline, but at the end of the day, people play videogames for the gameplay.
I wouldn't mind an Invisible War remake that used the HR engine. As long as the gameplay and level design was greatly improved.
>>337109760
Someone who is missing out on the greatest game of all time
>>337109623
I see I'm not alone
>>337108481
>hey let's make a better game than Deus Ex
and they did it the absolute frenchmen
human revolutions themes and ideas were too fucking simplistic and mankind divided seems to be simplistic too. why can't we have a deus ex game with the narrative depth that deus ex had.
also the facial animations are STILL dogshit in mankind divided.
they were designing a good game
>>337109882
Dude, just stop. Just fucking stop already. You and everyone else who keeps parroting this shit.
Yes, Deus Ex is a good game. Great in some aspects even, but it's nowhere near the best game of all time. For that to be true, it simply has way too many flaws and its strong points are massively exaggerated. You guys are strictly memeing at this point.
>inb4 butthurt
Just watch him attack anyone who doesn't join in the gospel with variations of "You haven't played it", "You're a newfag" or "You're a casual".

>reeee stop having a different opinion than me!!
>>337110143
if you haven't played it then why the fuck do you even have an opinion on it?
>>337110143
This, it's a great game, but the graphics was already dated for it's time. And everyone seems to conveniently forget the bad voiceacting in Hong Kong.
>>337109623
JC, you're not supposed to be in the women's bathroom.
>>337110143
Name me an WRPG that you consider is better than Deus Ex.
>>337110543

false
>>337110401
I bet you don't even see the irony of your statement.
>>337110531
>having reading comprehension this bad
>>337110543
Not to mention it ran like shit on contemporary machines, had tons of useless augs, the art design is straight up trash and an the dialoge had an awfully written script. Plus, the opportunities levels gave you were massively overblown by fanboys.
>DUDE I CAN HACK THE DOOR OR GET IN THROUGH THE VENT SHAFT THIS GAME IS DEEP
>>337110595
Fallout.
>>337110823
>the graphics was already dated for it's time
True.
Contemporary reviewers and players noted that while Deus Ex used one of the hottest engines at the time, the graphics looked blocky and textures lacked details.
>>337110143
What was your favorite ending ?
Mine was Helios.
>Adam's new augmentations make entire JC's arsenal look like some fucking unreliable toys
>>337111015
My dumb younger self chose the Dark Age ending, but today I'd prefer the Helios ending too.
>>337111131
Don't worry, a full-on Deus Ex remake by Eidos Montréal will come eventually and get rid of the inconsistencies.
>>337111015
The objectively best ending is to let Bob Page win. He did literally nothing wrong.
>>337110989
deus ex came out the same year metal gear solid did, am i supposed to believe any of the games released that year looked better than deus ex? in fact how many games were doing what deus ex was?
>>337111248
Is it sad that I am not opposed to this?
>>337110989
Why does people loving Deus Ex make you so mad? Where did Warren Spector touch you?
>>337111482
>deus ex came out the same year metal gear solid did
what? MGS1 came out in 98, Deus Ex was 2000
>>337111482
Where do you get your info from, dude? MGS came out two years prior to Deus Ex. By that time, the new idTech engine blew the Unreal engine out of the water in practically every regard and even on its own terms Deus Ex didn't make better use of it than most games using the engine.
>in fact how many games were doing what deus ex was?
A couple, most notably System shock.
>>337111721
Counter-question: Why does someone not liking Deus Ex to the same extent as you trigger you so much?
>>337111570
Absolutely not. I'm convinced Eidos Montréal will do a good job.
>they bring back JC's voice actor like they did with Bob Page's
>he took acting lessons in the meantime
>>337110989
>DUDE I CAN HACK THE DOOR OR GET IN THROUGH THE VENT SHAFT THIS GAME IS DEEP
What bothers me is how few modern games even try to reach the exceedingly low standard Deus Ex set. Like, it's not that hard to create several options on how to enter a building. Or to write and record five minutes of extra dialogue for the second bossfight you get by bypassing the first one. I get that there are reasons for games to be linear, but would it bankrupt the devs to give me some leg room on the path they set?
I finished HR recently and hated the entire ending sequence.
It felt like things ended way to soon, and each of the ending was terrible and didn't even reflect on choices made during the game aside what button you pressed.
Why did Mass Effect 3 get shit on for its terrible endings but not HR?
>dat "binnnng" when you select something in the title menu
>>337112673
HR got a lot of shit for the endings here, what are you talking about?
>>337112792
I've never heard anything bad about it aside from to much orange.
Great soundtrack and voice acting
Shame about the press x for awesome takedowns
>>337112869
It was trashed on a lot anon. Even some fans brought it up at a conference for mankind divided asking them not to use it again, even comparing it to ME3.
I'm currently playing Human Revolution and holy fuck is the pacifist run annoying as shit.
>>337113067
Just get multi-take down, invisiblity, and silent running.
Is the new game still in piss filter mode or are there so more colours but gold and black this time?

Also, it doesn't make any sense in the context of the mission.

Nice meme. The entire game gives you options like this. It's not just dude hack the vent lmao. I fucking wish modern games had as much effort put into options you're given.

What the hell is supposed to make sense here? You do a thing. Game follows up on your actions.
>>337108481

>>337113754
>The entire game gives you options like this.
Nah.
>Game follows up on your actions.
If only. An agent fails to do his job, a high-profile mission and runs back to his employer while the latter only does as much as rolling his eyes? Yeah, that seems reasonable and totally believable.
>>337109152

That´s a funny way to spell "I".
Don´t speak for anyone but yourself.
>>337113348
>too bad you allocated your points wrong, the game is now almost impossibly difficult
Sad fact: the source of problems you seem to be having with the game is located in front of the screen, not on it.
You can play Deus Ex on realistic without a single implant or skill.
It is not really enjoyable except for the satisfaction of managing it, but you can.
>>337113739
such is life, realizing that the other person is ourselves reflected
good on you, anon. but next time, feel free to go in and go in and go in and go in like the us marshalls
>>337113969
>runs back to his employer while the latter only does as much as rolling his eyes?

If you had half a brain you could have observed that the two share the surname, and tighten up your bluff.
>>337114327
>Manderley has no clue what his augmented supersoldier is doing even though fucking cops wear cameras in 2016
Such a thought-out and detailed vision of the future, I can't help but be immersed. Deus Ex truly is a game for the ages.
>>337108814
I replayed it few days ago, besides few tracks I can barely remember any
>>337113969
>Nah.
You sure showed me.
>high-profile mission
Hardly. Quoting, "textbook assault". It was a test. Interrogating was only a part of it. He did secure the statue at least. Hell, Paul "messed up an assassination attempt" right before that.
>his employer
He's not.
HR doesn't carry the same appeal as the original. Its gameplay emphasizes routes and sneaking over the emergent scenarios which makes the original so interesting, not that the original didn't also have clear paths.
>>337114536
Mistake 1: "A good track needs to be memorable."
Mistake 2: "I am an authority on music."
Mistake 3: "My memory and my taste is worth shit."
>>337114782
For some reason I found HR incredibly forgettable. But Deus Ex is so fucking memorable. I remember almost every level in that game.
>>337114747
>You sure showed me.
You sure showed me.
>Hardly.
He's an augmented agent tasked with capturing the terrorist leader, among other things. He simply ran away. That's a failure.
>He's not.
My bad, I was mistaking greyed Paul for Manderley at first. The point still stands.
Surprisingly good for a modernized Deus Ex game, this could have been bad but it is now accepted as a part of the franchise even by the snobbiest DX fans.
That being said I'm sad that MD is just HR 2 instead of a new character and everything.
>>337114792
The soundtrack is ok, it did a good job at setting the atmosphere, but nothing more
Alexander Brandon did a better job in my opinion
>>337114519
Assuming all of your arguments at their strongest, you've meant Manderlay as employer implicitly from the start. Assuming you have any idea of what his reaction is, you've either done that senseless approach yourself, or infer that the game won't end with J.C. getting fired after that clip. The thing is, J.C. is much more than a disposable employee. What am I missing?
>>337115171
>You sure showed me.
I did. An example.
>tasked with capturing
Not the case.
>He simply ran away. That's a failure.
As much of a failure as killing him or simply failing to interrogate. And, again, it was only a part of the mission.
>>337115205
>That being said I'm sad that MD is just HR 2 instead of a new character and everything.
Same, I didn't really want any more of this yellow cyberpunk. But I feel like it can still pay off, since it's closer to the first game in the timeline, and shit starts going down.
>>337109031
>Suddenly
>>337115904
how can you not like this nigga
>>337115904
>since it's closer to the first game in the timeline, and shit starts going down.
that just means there's more 'poetry'. bet the game ends with the statue of liberty getting blown up
>>337116014
I do like this but I still prefer color-neutral cyberpunk, or at least blue.
>>337116254
The game does seem to be more neutral than Human Revolution.
>>337109760
Underage.
>>337113905
you can jump in HR though
Never played the first one, enjoyed this even though i never finished, i think DaS2 came out and i dropped, which was a mistake.
It was kind of hard for me to play it though, the feeling of "i definitely missed lots of things" kept scratching my head.
I do remember having a good kek with #chan guy, and the hidden room with a laptop and a dildo.
But it's the closest i've felt to Blde Runner.
>>337108481
>What the fuck were they thinking?
"Don't fuck it up" is what they were thinking.
You can read that quote from the lead writer in the debug menu.
>>337108481
I loved this game, basically ran 2 or 3 all nighters in a row at uni playing it. Slept during the day.
Ruined my sleep pattern and my work schedule, but damn was it worth it.
I still have fond memories of those hours today, some of the most fun I've had in vidya and I didn't even expect to like it.
That OST too...
![deus-ex-human-revolution_conceptart_lowerhengsha1[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/F5hdadQ.jpg "deus-ex-human-revolution_conceptart_lowerhengsha1[1].jpg")
It was good, but had so much more potential.
Hopefully 2077 learns a thing or two from it.
![3400x1600_444014_[www.ArtFile.ru][1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/1yTkga8.jpg "3400x1600_444014_[www.ArtFile.ru][1].jpg")
I wish more time was spent lounging around dirty hitech apartments.
>>337114792
Guy here who's a relatively succesful dj/producer - you can make all the fancy fucking sounds and noises you want, but a track needs to be memorable or catchy to resonate with a crowd. Yes even in fucking progressive metal or whatever avant-garde shit you listen to (I know I have).
A lot of the music on that soundtrack is soundscaping but I'm not sure I'd say it's always going somewhere. Sure it can be the right chords and the right scale, but in my opinion that does not always mean it's flowing towards the cohesive whole.
>not doing pacifist stealth run
Batman playthrough best playthrough
>>337119064
It's not meant to go somewhere all the time. It's a video game soundtrack, not a pop album.
>>337119064
As someone claiming to have some substantial knowledge about music you'd know that making a track isn't the same as writing a soundtrack. A soundtrack's purpose is to enhance the scene, set the mood - all while blending in with the action on the screen without taking the spotlight. HR's score does that perfectly. It's not an easy listen for people who are not into ambient (aka plebs).
>>337109031
they didn't play original deus ex or don't care or follow shills or whatever it's a youth culture board anyway
my question is where are all the minarets and diversity comissars? i don't get it, if it's the future why do they pretend that fringe vegan terrorism iconoclast groups will be a thing?
Anyone else find the concept art comfier than the game itself?
>>337119283
That's why I'm disagreeing with it being one of the best videogame soundtracks of all time. It's great, though I feel Neotokyo, which has a similar style, trumps it (despite there never being an in-game context for the tracks on that album), but I believe there's quite a few other videogame soundtracks that do a better job being memorable. Soundscapes aren't all that difficult to create.
>>337119497
I would argue it doesn't always enhance the scene, it just fits the scenes well, and has its place. The music I would say greatly enhance the trailers and truly lift experiencing them to a level above almost every other videogame trailer I've ever seen.
HR was by no means great.
But man it turned out so much less bad than I thought it would. Pretty decent attempt.
>>337109760
I was in the same boat as you until a year and a half ago. If you have a PC from the year 2005 or newer then do yourself a favor and buy it on Steam. It's truly an experience that'll send goose bumps down your spine
>>337119889
>HR was by no means great.

>graphically passable
What more do want from the game exactly?
>>337119671
They look so messy, but just in the right way
>>337120054
Was the same. Despite trying to play it earlier. Only thing I didn't manage was to keep myself stealthy all the time.
>>337120226
Better level design that doesn't rely on air vents so much. Less awkward boss fights (Western devs in general are not good at these). Harder challenge. Even on DE the game is too easy. Most importantly it needed a revamp of that whole regenerating Battery mechanic. Infinite one hit stealth takedowns should not be a thing.
Keep the things you listes. Keep the inentory management.
>>337119064
>dj
This is is where i stopped reading.
You're shit.
>>337120627
I make good money understanding and pandering to a market musically, and then exploit it by working as a dj, representing both myself and the label which helps market me. If you're angry that live musicianship and bands have been seemingly switched in popularity by club music then grow the fuck up. This is the world we live in.
>>337121305
Keep telling yourself that, you'll never be a musician.
>>337121305
Not him, but the role of a DJ has changed so drastically in the last decades. Back in the days, DJs used to actually be knowledgable about music. They introduced the crowd to new music in an age where music television was slowly becoming irrelevant and the internet was gaining momentum.
Now DJs might as well be monkeys pushing a button. They play what the masses want to hear, not what they think the masses should hear. Not only are you creatively bankrupt, you're also fooling nobody by claiming you're "relatively" successful. There are thousands of you waiting in line each day to push that button.
