To this day, my brain hurts just trying to think of why Square Enix did this like why did they push Deus Ex, one of the decent franchises that they have, to the side just make a crappy Marvel game that no one freaking remembers now except for the fact that it’s a piece of shite game. It’s like Gearbox pushing Borderlands aside so that they could make a sequel to Aliens: Colonial Marines and that it’s full of microtransactions

My heart still hurts thinking of it. Such a waste of an amazing studio.

@@protostnl6369 just look what happened to Mass effect 3. This always repeats. 1 is great. 2 is eh.... AND 3, well lets not go there. Its such shiete that words can never do such a smelly shiete justice such a bad smell Mass Effect 3 Sheite is a great example of whats happening == they are out for money not to make good games. Its all about the almighty dollar.

They making another one... Guardians of the Galaxy. I don't understand this corpo way of thinking too, they have Deus Ex. One of the most oldschool and important piece of gaming in their hands, that could sell thousand and thousand of copies by just doing bussines right and by doing justice to the games. Mankind Divided was a lost potential but in his flaws you can feel how edios montreal is dedicated to those games and Jensen by this little small details and stuff they put into the game. All games in this series have this uniqe atmosphere, one of the best sci fi works for sure. Other series close to Deus Ex in those matters is Silent Hill, coincidentally also dead for now but in much, much worse way. Don't really blame Edios Montreal, in my opinion they did really good stuff to DX and put a lot of love to it. Unfortunetly Squere Enix is the problem. IOI the Hitman Devs also run away quickly from them after first part of this new Hitman games. The funny part is also that this Avengers game didin't sell to well xD Mankind Divided did a lot better even with the awful augment your preorder stuff.

@@protostnl6369 colonial marines is shit largely due to gearbox pushing it aside for borderlands, funny how you had the example upside down

Its normal. Conspiracies have been a major topics in games, Hollywood movies, books, and fiction. Its interesting that Americans and Russians are among the most firm believers in crazy conspiracies, and they are the one who produce the most conspiracy based movies and fiction.

Elon Musk said so too.

Bill Gates has based the last 20 years of his career on Bob Page.

You are right as ever...

@@user-vy1bf4jx3v both cultures have a VERY high distrust in government of any kind. Both histories are that of overthrowing big, tyrannical governments that get replaced with big, tyrannical oligarchy. I love both, to be honest.

Definitely not a shame

Mass Effect Trilogy has one of the best game soundtracks too.

@John Coleman True

Easily. Really love the soundtrack of both Human Revolution and Mankind Divided.

"One of the best soundtrack"... Definitely, but with Halo, Mass Effect, Oblivion/Skyrim, Ori & The Blind Forest, Medal of Honor - Frontline...

To add to your spot on analysis, his physical trauma alone would send most people into an inescapable sense of despair. The world becoming so small, that even the shadowy elite have a hard time agreeing to what to do with the power they wield. Nevermind Adam being specifically targeted through his lover (who betrayed him in the end) by said elite to synthesize a cure for Neuropazine dependency. Marking the true beginings of transhumanism, and the end of the human condition.

@@tadghostal8769 ya should write books or something

@@tadghostal8769 I love reading comments like yours. It brings me back memories of reading those ebooks that were scattered throughout the game.

We need JC back

the future we have will be far worse than any cyberpunk game

Well... just after reading the news about Embracer axing Deus Ex.... brilliant... :(

It's so over, bros

but thats what makes it completely worth playing it. the discovery, the memories from DXHR, etc. but i completely understand where you are coming from. It was heartwrenching, because she was one of the few (people?) that understood what he was going through, as she is/was someone that told him exactly what he needed to hear in that moment.

We must remember that behind Elisa is absolutely real girl(s) - Hyron bot, even if they don't associate themselves with Elisa and working just like CPU =)

I believe they both feel the same way about each other. But.. the circumstances are complicated, obviously.

Adam is one of my favorites video game character of all time. He is like super bad ass, but you can see in his demeanor how sensitive and fragile is. Also when he removes his agressive-shaped glasses, he reveals his sweet, pleasent blue eyes.

The eyes are articifical though.

I've replayed Human Revolution 6 or 7 times now lol..trying to go for an achievement run..but I agree the music Brings it all together and creates that atmosphere

Never understood why people didn't like Adam. I thought he was great. A bit understated and a bit flat, affect-wise, but an interesting character that becomes more so as the games go on.

@@sclarke2092 I see similarities between Adam and Geralt from the Witcher series. They're both pragmatic, gruff but caring men with a deep rough voice that get dragged into politics against their will. They both have interesting stories and good lines of dialogue, but I do think the "deep rough badass voice stereotype" does not lend itself very well for portraying a wide range of emotions as humans simply don't talk that way in reality and I think that is where most of the backlash comes from

That's when talented people are responsible for art direction. You find yourself hungry for those games' athmospere, not as much for gameplay as for the vibe it gives

Adam is a freaking boss!

Samuel Aragon really? I’d expect a lot of people to have done Otar’s quests

@@Xhawk777 I can understand if they haven't. I snuck through all of the guards and never even talked to Otar on my first playthrough. Figured since the area was hostile, I probably shouldn't just bust through the front door lol. Snuck around to find an alternate route. It was only on the second playthrough that I found out you can talk to him.

"VANO, WHY IS HE STILL STANDING HERE?!!"

@@theonlyambi Same

Still rocking that pfp years later huh? Amazing.

Or play this in the background! I just love the Deus Ex soundtracks .. the best out there imo!

Sorry but objectively Cyberpunk will suck so bad. It's just trash songs, nothing else. Even combat, awful low quality characters from ps2 era suck so badly.

@@SeriousDragonify wut

It wont be its more bloody and cruel.😞😞

@Commander Shepard MD are far better compared to most AAA shit out there that become GOTY

MD was really great indeed. The only thing that i would criticize it for is the main story. But overall it was amazing. It took everything good off of HR and made it even better.

MD got disappointing, but still had the essence of getting completely immersed. Replaying it for the 4th time, still no one dying to my hands, but cannot get the 'foxiest of hounds' achievement.

iirc, the square-enix implementing MTX did not helped MD at all :(

Mankind Divided was the best in the series by far. I have completed it 2 times. Just an awesome game, i don't even understand why it didn't get more success. It was the best game of the last gen, alongside Witcher 3.

may God bless all of us.

I've got the same story but with the first stalker, I love both games and both menus

@@ivanzubov317 yes! Both stalker a deus ex! and Civ iv! baba yetu :D

i have that with kingdom hearts

I have the same with the first Mass Effect.

saints row 1 or serious sam 3

Indeed

YEs EXACTLY! :)

My two favorite games of all time Mass Effect and Deus Ex franchise S2

Good news, square enix sold them and their new owners are letting them make a new one! They said they will do what cyberpunk 2077 couldn't!?!

Oh yes, please.

I think there will be no sad bautiful ambient music like from deus ex. I think thats the strongest criteria of deus ex. Music and atmosphere like in no other game

I also think Cyberpunk will be rougher than Deus Ex in aspects of music and atmosphere.

True, alphaomega.

"BAUTIFUL" by alphaomega :D i never asked for this

Pure savagery!!!!

I never ask for this

Thanks ;)

Frank The Fetus bâss is, bāss is not

You forgot the second one ? No ? Sure? Okay ;(

you forgot Deus Ex: Invisible War

@@clumsyentropy we dont talk about that game. It was horrible

@@DevilWolf000 It was a bad Deus Ex game, but in fairness how can you expect to follow up one of the greatest games of all time? (Don't tell me the prequels did either, they're really good but still FAR inferior to the first game) Plus, the music for Invisible War still kicked ass.

@@ashe274 Now, I do love the original, but I genuinely prefer playing through HR and MD, particularly HR. I honestly think the Director’s Cut is a perfect game. For me, the original does go absolutely off the rails by the end. I must be honest. And by that point, stealth just feels totally inaccessible when I’m forced into so many grindy and frustrating combat encounters that I hadn’t specced for. It kinda ruined the experience for me. So, I would wanna say that just after Paris in particular is when I thought the story was starting to go in some truly wacky directions and I felt like I was being ferried to the next distressing damsel after another. But in gameplay, it’s also when the clever solutions to various encounters start becoming more sparse (especially when Hong Kong represented this pinnacle of what the game could be. Everything after felt like a downgrade. In both story and gameplay.) But then Area-51 is when the story crystallises in a really awesome way thematically that I still think about, but also could have been done better mechanically and philosophically because none of the choices are particularly encouraging or great from a philosophical perspective. Especially as most of them undermine the main themes of the actual game. It’s also a real shame that Area-51 itself is totally ass in pure game design terms. It’s the part of the game that feels the most like it was made in the 90s. I genuinely hated playing through that level, I was not having a great time at all. It was pure 90s bullshit with literal robot Nazis and aliens running around, it was like I was playing System Shock 2 not Deus Ex.

More like MAJESTIC 12!!!

Its one of my favourite pieces of ambient music. I constantly imagine being lost in an abandoned hospital from the 80s and its still got Christmas decorations everywhere and the windows overlook a murky seaside. It kind of gives me vibes of a sad journey scene in an 80s comedy movie like Planes, trains & Automobiles for some reason.

You can already make it.

throw altered carbon into that bucket

Why focus on making a shitty future when we already have a shitty today?

V for Vendetta: 'Use a fantasy to reveal the truth'. Through the sci-fi gaming fantasy of DX, we address some real social and political issues. 'This is where the world might be headed' slogan. In the novel 'Replay', SPOILER the protagonist with his fellow Replayer dared not reveal their 're-life but multi-experienced' existence so blatantly as this approach led to serious political complications in one of the (therefore paradoxical) timelines; in another timeline they could only hint at invaluable lessons through suggestive medium of movie-making, drip-fed to an audience ready to embrace change. Who knows? Perhaps 'Replay' itself is such an account that actually happened to somebody? We may never know.... But the important thing is that it raises awareness.

It’s so underrated

@@bh5817 It is, and sadly we may never get the 3rd game in the series that connects to the original Deus Ex

I know what you feel bro, I think the whole sad/brooding feel fits the game perfectly - Jensen is essentially a man with so much power thrust into his hands, power to change the world, and he alone has to bear it all: who can he trust? What is right or wrong? What are the consequences? So much potential just waiting to be used

Ironically Jensen feels "left out". Hence his brooding. He sees everything move from the outside but cannot stop it try as he might. His reactions in MD are even more expressive of this. His looking through the shower glass. The failed rescue at the station. Miller's fate. Allison's fate. His big conundrum is CHOICE. And the difficulty of making it...and live with it.

cr4yv3n Sometimes I just feel so bad for Jensen - wish I could give him a big hug

Makes me want to change the world

Use that to volunteer in your community, don’t opine the global change. Be the change at the local level. Educate yourself on local issues and vote vote vote. The special interests only win when we give up our civic responsibilities. To be always cynical is the intellectually dishonest and cedes any power you have. If we could get a majority of the electorate to vote consistently for a decade we would see great change regardless of which side of the political spectrum you reside.
