Well spoken. Prague is often considered dirty by those who have never been there because it's eastern europe, which was hit hard by both ww2 and the cold war. Building decay, poor political stability, a population seeminly unable or willing to fight for anything to completion hence its challenges in the last 70 years, civil wars, and it never has ever really been on the world stage. That's just the last 100 years.

Still though, he's right about there being so many better choices for a European location. Why couldn't they have the same dystopian type of environment in Germany, Italy or even Russia. Those places can be just as cyberpunk considering Deus Ex is in a sci-fi environment.

I loved seeing the European, glass + wood archutecture, mixed in with the cyberpunk theme. We've seen high tech cyberpunk and this was a nice blend imo.

Well for me it's the lighting and the design of the city that just doesn't make it feel cyberpunk.

I have visited Prague just after the fall of the Berlin Wall with my parents and I was amazed! It is such a wonderful city. Together with Rome and London, my favorite city in Europe.

Yes I am relpaying it too after 2 years. I like the stealth and Exploration gameplay most, I love the Upgrades and that you ca't have every Single Upgrade but find your style. I wish their would be more levels like the Bank, focusing on gameplay and Exploration. I am also happy with Prague, Also that it is so small but more filled than a normal open world game. I am happy for the sequel already

Imo MD is not a bad game whatsoever but it's definitely not the best Deus Ex game, and imo is a small step-down fro HR. HR not only had a more coherent and appealing aesthetic ( aesthetic not graphics, it's obvious even at a glance that MD is far more visually stunning than HR ) but a better story ( I played the director's cut, not the base game and THEN the missing link DLC with a huge hiatus in between. ), more player choice in how you could tackle levels, more 'all of the above' type choices ( Don't search this up until you finish HR if you like Deus Ex, basically this choice is named after an achievement you get where you are told that you only have 2 choices, but as the name implies, sleuthing around will reveal a much more pleasing choice that was never even hinted at. ), the characters were more fleshed out ( All the 'antagonists' in HR, if you had the CASIE Aug or atleast gave a shit about dialogue challenges, felt human, as they say the best villains are the ones that let you understand and even force you to empathize by showing you their method to madness, unlike the huge brute that goes I LIKE KILL KILL GOOD PEW PEW PEW . ). All in all, there are 2 lists for people interested in Deus Ex, one that ranks the games best to worst and the other that ranks the game with a new player in mind. I'll just put the latter in as the comment section is full of people that REALLY want to get into the DX universe: 1: Human Revolution Because it is definitely a game meant to ease newer players into the universe and gameplay loop and methods of completing mission. Also canonically, the game is the first. NO I DO NOT CONSIDER THE FALL A DEUS EX GAME. 2:Mankind Divided Good game, but not an amazing DX game. However it's here so that you can wrap up Jensen's storyline. Much more polish in terms of looks and certain gameplay features, but as I've already said, it's lost some things that made HR great. 3:Deus Ex The first game in the series and definitely the best when it comes to story and player choices. Now the reason why people SHOULD play this last if they are new to the franchise is simply because... alot has aged like milk. It is absolutely fine to me but I am a person that grew up with games like the first Quake so I am adept at adapting to the older looks and feels of older games. However to the new players the game will look like shit, gameplay will also be shit and finally the AI would stick a gun through it's asshole instead of trying to take you down. Pros are definitely the player choices and story, but also the main protagonist... he may not have Jensen's voice, but he is definitely hardcore. But there is hope Bratan. There are 2 mods for this game. There is GMDX and Deus Ex Revision Mod. The former is what old time players will prefer, as it really fixes alot of the gameplay issues and AI. However for people that are concerned with Graphics, GMDX does alot but not as much as Revision. Sadly Where GMDX excels, Revision falters badly. It does not make the game worse than the original, but simply put, Revision is just a beautiful paintjob on honda civic without tires, whereas GMDX is a Chevrolet but a really basic white as it's paint. We don't talk about The Fall and Invisible Wars about here... How can we ? know one can simply speak of what does not simply exist.

This game is sure not perfect but it definitely is my favorite game of this generation, it is so underrated. Its atmosphere was so captivating and its secondary missions were so amazing and well written. This game really touched my gamer heart because this is what I would love to see happening more often in games, to have complex and detailed handcrafted open-ended maps with a great level design and awesome environmental narration (especially Prague which may be my favorite map ever across all games) instead of repetitive and boring huge open-worlds that most of big studios are doing these days. Sadly not only Square Enix didn't let enough time to the developers to complete and polish the game, but they fucked up its marketing campaign with the microtransactions thing and by showing stupid action trailers that didn't show what the game really was about. This game is for me the true definition of maturity in videogames, this should be the main way to help a lot of videogames to really get more mature: through putting depth in gameplay. I'm not criticizing The Last Of Us 2 from a quality point of view, you have the right to like it. But in my opinion games like this with a casual bland gameplay don't help the videogame industry to get more mature, it only helps it to get closer to the movie industry, which is a bad thing and a huge waste of potential. Other than that I was already familiar with Deus Ex before playing the game so I directly played it the right way, like an immersive-sim game. And I was so sad and annoyed to see all these negative reviews and all these empty forums for such a great game because that meant that we wouldn't see this kind of game and the immersive sim genre being back before a long time. And unfortunately time proved me right because Square Enix putted away Deus Ex in a drawer and forced Eidos Montréal to work on the Avengers game, which turned out to be a disaster. But even if Deus Ex comes back someday, I wonder if it will still be as good because a lot of the original creators of Human Revolution and Mankind Divided have left the Eidos Montréal studio these last years, which makes me even more sad...

im with ya bud. its so much bigger if u really explore and get immersed. amazing game. my favorite

Luc Delarue prague is also a city in which modern and medival architecture go hand in hand, which goes in line with the fusion of augmented and non augmented

It was sarcasm buddy..

gaming forever hope that tought them its not accepted

gaming forever dont u mean "Corprate" not "Co-operate"

gaming forever Let's engage in jolly cooperate greed.

Ironic given the overall theme of Deus Ex.

With Deus Ex, Thief and Hitman, I really thought Square would be taking these franchises to greatness (again). What ended up happening, was that they pushed for cheap and simple designs for console players, and shoved in all manner of micro payments and obvious content cutting to sell less game with same money. Now each of these once magnificent game series has effectively crashed and burned. Considering the scale of this overarching fuck up, one can only wonder at the idiocy. They could have simply put the correct amount of time and effort, find the right people with the motivation for the title in question. And use the licenses to produce games that both sell well, and strengthen the franchise for the future. They threw all that away, and rather tried to force feed us some DLC. I guess even Human Revolution just didn't sell enough. All the critical praise in the world doesn't keep the investors happy. So Square saw a forced profit margin increase as the only way forward, and managed to destroy 3 of some of the most legendary single player franchises PC ever had.

A lot of people love Deus Ex, Square Enix just scared off 550% of the fanbase with the augment your pre-order edition, and the microtransactions in the singleplayer, if that never happened and the game was twice as longer the game would have sold 10 million copies.

i think it's overrated. i found HR director's cut to be superior in every possible way. MD never pulled me in or hooked me the way HR did from start to finish.

@@genericwhitemale7028 It's a single player game. I never even noticed the augmented editions or microtransactions. Buy the base edition and play. Same with Dead Space 3. Base edition and not a penny more. Well I do buy DLC. Does that count?

@@Jack_80 it's no where near overrated

@@cj3670 maybe it's just me but i best human revolution several times and never seem to get tired of it. after beating mankind divided once i never had the urge to play it again. it just didn't have that atmosphere that pulled me in the way hr does.

Same here I was happy with it :).

I wanted to be happy with it. I wanted Sarif, Prichard and Megan (I mean we spent the whole of HR trying to save her, where's my thank you?).

i feel like i'm the only one who found it extremely disappointing compared to human revolution director's cut.

@@Jack_80 But looking back, now that Cyberpunk had totally failed its promise, I didn't know how good we had it back when Mankind Divided was released, truly a game that outdid Cyberpunk 2077 on every levels. I would be happy if we ever got the second half of Mankind Divided that we never got.

Χρήστος Κώτσαρης Did you play Dishonored 2? I would rank that a little higher i have to say.

Yes i did play Dishonored 2, and no it is not better than Mankind Divided. Everything in MD is better, from graphics to music to story to gameplay. Of course Bethesda has more money to bribe people and more fanboys to hype things so i am not surprised people think D2 was better. Actually, even the original Dishonored was nothing special. A true 7-8 game that got a 91 metascore because Bethesda is Bethesda.

@@KotsarisGR i play this game for the story... which by human revolution standards was disappointing :/

@@anshumanSrivastavaHere_I_COME i thought everything about mankind divided was disappointing compared to human revolution director's cut. the story, gameplay, and atmosphere of HR kept me hooked from start to finish in every one of my several playthroughs of it. i almost had to force myself to get through mankind divided once and never had the urge to play it again once i did.

Nah, main story is dogshit+/10 as well. As the whole story is about you getting rid of a simple side character useless pawn. I mean HR had more story from begining to the first boss.

Al Malone 👍☺

Sey Moore I agree the whole story felt like ACT 1 to a bigger game hell even when the new game+ option came up I was saying to myself "that's weird why would you hand out new game+ halfway through the game?" and when the credits rolled I nearly fell out of my chair in anger and frustration

Al Malone me too..i thought that after the "Boss fight" a new Hub is avalible and the second half of the game started😥..looks like we will never see the true ending😭

Lol its sorta a tradition to have a completely shite ending to deus ex, the original, invisible war n human revolution all have dogs hit endings..

And in the original game(set a couple decades after this), everywhere that isn't some top-secret gov't facility or big-name corporation like VersaLife is pretty much a slum living off old pre-millennial tech. It's not just about the augs-- that was only one part of it.

Looking back at how Cyberpunk did......I really wished this comment could've aged well.

I don't understand what the fuck are people talking about? What shortness? Human Revolution I explored everything (rushed late game a little bit, didn't hack every computer) and I got 16 hours on steam. Mankind Divided I'm in Prague at night clocking in at 37 hours????

but in my opinion character models doen't look that good compared to Human Revolution (in a certain way)... it's even worse if you turn off tesselation on PC But it was only to be expected as this was Eidos Montréal's first game on a new game engine (the DAWN engine) something similar happened with Assasin's Creed 3 when ubisoft transitioned from their Anvil engine (which was only a souped up Scimitar engine) to their AnvilNext engine. All character models compared to the previous games looked god awful and uncanny to say the least. Jensen on the other hand doesn't look the same as it used to be, feels like Eidos redesigned jensen a bit.

Agreed. The gameplay in this game is incredible. One small area can have close to 50 ways to complete it. It almost makes Dishonored look linear by comparison.

@@Jarmundx have you seen CGI trailers of Human revolution? MD Jensen looks exactly from that trailer, which is better than Jensen's model in HR.

Graphics are terrible and gameplay is clunky. Who wants to play an graphically outdated game today.

@@gamingjunkie707 the same happens with Legacy Of Kain, its a great game saga in terms of soundtrack, atmosphere, and lore, but jesus christ the gameplay is outdated beyond recognition

@@gamingjunkie707 IMO still a great game.

Because really, it's a product of its time. The rifle used to be the turn of the tide for war before it became ubiquitous, and now, with tactical rifles, it's obsolete. If you're playing the original DE you're really only in it for the story and choices and level design, which really isn't challenged until now.

Especially when you talk to Paul and that French lady (forget her name) that talks about the EU too. They both point out things that are happening right now.

a lot of movies and games resemble what is happening in reality, most people are just too thoroughly indoctrinated to realize it. even most people who believe they are awake don't even realize politics is all nothing but an elaborate act and all politicians are working together to keep us ignorant and under control. all these people believing trump is working against all the corrupt politicians, it's all an act to get people who know the govt is corrupt as hell to trust trump and view him as a savior while off camera they all get together and laugh at all the idiots that fall for it. ok that's the end of my little rant.

The dlc is mostly bullshit though. Most of them should have been in the main game.

i was so bored i could barely force myself to finish this game once. i beat human revolution director's cut 5 or 6 times and never get tired of it but MD never pulled me in and hooked me the way HR does every time i play it.

This is what happens when you fuck a girl with diseases. Fuck sake man use a condom or a bulletproof helmet before playing.

Or watching.

William Shockley was recorded at 30 wtf did you expect?

Upgrade your toaster.

William Shockley The game has Denuvo, which tanks frame rates.

Fully agree. The game had so much potential and Jensen really feels part of the DE universe. If they delved deeper into three or four plot points this game could be genius. They literally have the Jensen - Icarus link up for grabs...

he didnt know.....deus ex is cancelled(so they wont make another game until 2029,ik weird)

For reference, I never was a fan of the earlier MGS games but I heard 5 is completely different in gameplay and tone. I loved the early Splinter Cell games and thought Dishonored 1 was amazing. Human Revolution felt clunky by comparison but was fairly enjoyable overall, although the takedown moves were distracting as they were non interactive cutscenes, also there was little variation in them.

riden1234567 Enjoy it! Imo the best level Design in an Immersive Sim to date, on par with Dishonored 2.

@@bazzy5644 4 years later, I do not regret my decision. I'm reinstalling it along with human revolution right now.

You get access to all your augs halfway through the game. Plus, you can simply deactivate the useless augs that you would never use anyways in the beginning in exchange for the more useful experimental augs.

Mistaken because Elias Toufexis himself is french, easy mistake

but Valve can't count to 3.....the concept of 3 eludes Valve, it eluded Street Fighter for years and now they're counting like champs lolz SF4, SSF4, SS4 Ultimate, SFV okay so not exactly like champs.... now if we can just teach Mortal Kombat the koncept of C....aww frack now they got me doing it lolz

darthXreven Capcom and champs don't go in the same sentence. More like Capcom and chimps lol. After seeing how barebones SFV is, I wish they would've stopped counting at 4.

Phazon Storm You'll be fine. Everyone thinks their midrange cards should be maxing out the game when that's just not the case, if you tweak the options a bit you'll be fine.

If (present day) Devs of Deus Ex had the freedom that CDprojekt does with the release deadlines / behind the scenes stuff... I’d be skeptical also.

Uccidere damm can't remember game is sooo long, not like nowadays...

TheFleet15 When did you try it last time? Have a 970 and now it runs near flawlessly. Just the framerate fluctuations in certain prerenderd cutscenes remain. Apartment with Sarif being a good example.

Hans Peter around December. that quad core I7 mobile is relative to a new i3. I just think that the low end outdated mobile r9 m275 was stopping it. In multiple games I rapidly run into issues with that gpu. Never go mobile especially the niche graphics card. Mine laptop is the only way to get that chip.
