What plot twist? The only real twist is that the hot lady is evil, but that had been hinted at and it's hardly the only game where a seemingly good character is evil.

It's so subtle that most people who've played the game have no idea that you're not Adam.
I think they might've buried the plot point since Phantom Pain came out less than a year prior with the same twist.

They removed the camera angle limitation and put in a janky dash mechanic. That's patch-tier, not five-year-sequel-tier. The game was very unfinished.

>It was hard for Jensen to frame the strange disquiet that had been with him ever since he awoke in the clinic. If he had been forced to sum it up in a single word, it would have been 'disconnected'. He felt out of sync with the world, and there was a quiet, corrosive fear in the back of his thoughts that something had happened to him during his lost time - something he couldnโ€™t grasp.
>He imagined that few who knew the Adam Jensen who left Detroit in 2027 would recognize the man he saw in the dull glass. He wasnโ€™t really certain if he did. Looking himself in the eye, Jensen felt an odd sense of disconnection that didnโ€™t sit well with him.
Jensen's subconscious is starting to break to the surface and he's starting to realize he's a ghost in the shell, and has been one since Panchea.

Its not a real genre anyway, and youre moderately intelligent for recognizing that. I just use the term to refer to the broad set of games that imsim retards selectively call imsim so i can shit on all of them at the same time.

Deus Ex HR would literally just need one thing and one thing alone to fix the entire genre, but i dont expect most games to implement that thing since it would go against what people broadly find "exceptional" about imsims, when the thing I really value in them is something else.

god damn why did this game fail so hard at grabbing you

people talk shit about Human Revolution's yellow scheme but at least it made you feel absorbed. I think they took the criticisms too hard, and pulled back emotionally, and only expressed more safely. But good deus ex games need authentic schizovision. The woke SJWs bullied them about the 'aug lives matter' stuff and they crumbled.

They were support staff. Crystal Dynamics made the Avengers game, primarily.
Since Mankind Divided came out, Eidos Montreal were pushed into making the last game in the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy, the Guardians of the Galaxy game, and now they're support staff on Grounded 2 and Nu-Fable.
So yeah, 9 years of never really making their own thing. Just IP work and guns for hire work.

I literally just played the game and don't remember the "plot twist". All I remember is the terrorist faction was framed by someone and then you kill a large man. You don't even get three endings/buttons to push. HR at least had set piece boss fights like that one girl in the water room, Hengsha (twice) and the Panchea kino.

One of the writers mentioned this year that they planned to end Adam's story by having his actions to bring down the Illuminati end up only crippling them just enough to facilitate Bob Page's coup. I've seen worse ways of handling prequel stories. I would've liked to see it end properly.

One thing that went wrong is after a point you are NOT going to see any mainstream media where conspiracy theories have any sort of validity, you used to see that a lot, think X-Files, but it's totally vanished now, IMAGINE a new Deus Ex trying to come out post Covid, didn't HR have some thing about the WHO? imagine that shit today.

It had a window to finish in 2019 and once that passed that was it.

I miss this period for graphics, the final days when faces could be realistic but have some vague stylization before always just being scans of real people.

It reminds me of Rise of The Tomb Raider, it feels weird to be nostalgia for the Square Enix era of Eidos ips but well... here we are.

Hey, same boat! I came late to the series, but I started with the OG, then played HR, then MD. MD is infinitely better than HR. I really don't get why HR gets so much love and MD gets so much hate. The side stories in MD are really, really good, especially if you don't take the aug that cheats dialogue for you and instead use your deduction & gut feeling to guide you through.

Both of the newer games have rather mediocre endings, but MD without question has the better world design/playable area and side missions, both of which are where you will spend the bulk of your time. I think HR fans will eventually come around, but it will be down the road. Most of the people who worship it I believe do so for nostalgia reasons.

that was the one (1) sidequest storyline i liked, the idea that a handicap could be fixed with an augmentation and nupoz was a form of medication, "reasonable accomodation" and stuff like that. not the "get out of here, clank" cartoon discrimination but something you'd actually see adjudicated in real life

This message is to warn you that the mega cylinder delivered with the drill is not the right size. If the operator does not strictly supervise the drilling, there is a risk of drilling into the neighboring shed and causing serious damage. We have ordered a replacement cylinder, but in the meantime, as we cannot afford to suspend the work, please keep the safety instructions in mind.

On the other hand, don't forget that only employees who have completed drill operator training are authorized to operate the machine. This is essential! In the event of an accident caused by an unauthorized operator, we are not covered by insurance.

Sincerely,
Lena Amacher

I noticed it came out 5 years to the exact day of HR, was it rushed because Squeenix felt like it HAD to make that date?

video games basically died, at least in the west, with this series, notice how litte worth a fuck has come out since 2016 and how hard everything went on the "modern audience" as opposed to us?

it wasn't really a flop, it made its money back and then some. but that's not good enough to video game publishers, they want that moon shot that sends them into early retirement at <40. hence trendchasing slop because they are so fucking stupid that's the best idea they can come up with, or they don't even come up with it and it's devs sighing and going
>okay retard, here's your moon shot idea, this will make you a bajillionaire because buzz words, now give us our next budget.
and the retards actually do it and end up committing 50 studios to making copycats of something that succeeded 1-2 years ago, then wonder how 49 of the games could fail.

That whole bit about how China had three rogue AIs terminated after they started criticizing Xi but they escaped onto cloud servers scattered everywhere, then someone theorized that what they did was similar to the Halo urban legend about bots communicating and preferring pacifism despite being in a game mode where you have to shoot each other

Also China, they now have the ability to create specific poisons and diseases that can only affect certain individuals or groups that they "keyed" into - this is something that [PROTOTYPE] and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare had as plot points

Over to Africa, some countries are apparently hoarding radioactive gold and many African countries are doing MKULTRA shit to inspire loyalty and prevent warlord uprisings, but instead a lot of people go mentally ill and hear voices. This one I believe was inspired by this paper stating that a lot of religious folks from African ethnic groups had an increasingly high amount of people who hear voices and they were always the religious ones or the ones who had ,at least, some hardcore faith in something. even if it were not religion or a god

UK was experimenting on drugs that were supposed to be equivalent to mechanical augmentations (this was actually partially inspired by the Greenwall Report if I remember correctly)

That was my point, that I doubted bad enough to justify canceling the third game entirely, what a shitheaded move

Like just close out the prequel trilogy if you've got to let Deus Ex forever be done

I was going to argue with you (~9 years since last game, no new game in production as far as we know, so definitely no marketer) but on second thought I appreciate how you are keeping the spirit of Deus Ex alive ITT by proposing a conspiracy theory.

the urban legend was about Quake 3 I'm pretty sure. and I think the origin was that some guy left a server with bots running for way too long and the bots simply stopped working because of floating point inaccuracy or an integer running over into the negatives, something like that.

So is there no third Jensen game coming? i need something in gaming to be excited about. The gap between getting these types of games is too big.

On a side note: I'm trying to be optimistic about the new Thief game, considering I'm a VR enthusiast and all. But i know that it already pissed off Thief fans, and likely contributed to the animosity people have towards VR. Not to mention it's retaining the Thi4f direction which will rub a lot of people in the wrong way. But i still remain hopeful that I'll play something that I'll enjoy.

yeah, it's over
embracer initially planned to make a new game, but they canned it after their deal with saudis fell though
im pretty sure eidos these days is a shell of its former self
lead writer is at bioware i think, a lot of other important people probably left too after having to make marvelslop

For me, it's Dark Forces / Jedi Knight. Best STAR WARS series of all time. X-Wing/TIE Fighter spurgs can fuck off.

so publishers could be trying to gauge interest, or embracer itself could be astroturfing to try and reanimate some interest to get a better price if they want to sell the IP

Kinda weird this urban legend gets tied to an event that happens more than a decade later though. Then again, sounds cool to have a WeChat bot just surfing the web spouting pacifism
