Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

why did this game fail? it seems pretty cool to me so far. I couldn't play it when it came out because my computer was complete shit and kinda forgot about it till now

App

it's fucking great, and I don't think it failed.

It's clearly unfinished.

so far

Oh, you're in for disappointment.

It didn't fail. SE just wanted a billion magillion dollars and didn't get it.

So far

Let us know what you feel when you hit the ending (Spoiler: its soon)

Anon Babble didn't like it as much as its predecessor.

If that's your screenshot you're way to early in the game to understand. Close the thread and come back in 10 hours.

characters uglier than they were in HR

promo campaign is based around muh oppression, allusion to nazi concentration camps right in 2016

your choice doesn't matter

one location, and it seems unfinished

I am not even sure that retarded monetization attempt did the damage, the game looked unappeling

When it came out, the agressive DLC scheme turned many people off (including myself). Executive meddling wasted studio time on pointless multiplayer stuff. Story was also not finished in this game, so the game is cut too.

With all these factors combined, the game naturally underperformed. It's actually a good game and I'd like to see the story end at some point, but I'm probably dreaming...

released in 2016

Deus Ex is dead, Anon.

retarded story, supporting cast replaced with ugly brown people

supporting cast replaced with ugly brown people

What are you talking about? There's just one non-white woman and there was a non-white woman in HR already. Almost all of the main cast and the supporting characters are white.

Didn't have enough motion blur.
Should have used a lower resolution.
It didn't feel fun to shoot.
Augs cost consumables.

Supported psychology like the one before so it's degenerate.

Choosing augs meant armouring up instead of having a range of abilities.
Looked good sometimes though. Like in the slums.
Series X version is 60fps. PS5 version still fucked at 30fps.
30fps is fine, but not how it's done in this.

Should be more like COD. And have more areas to freeroam.

Perhaps:
Have to return to somewhere with a bed to save. Save anywhere, but taken there afterward. Auto backtracking, or taken to the closest. Fast travel from there to other points scattered around where you can rest. To discourage saving all the time.

Fire whoever snuck in the psyche aug. Get rid of it. Conversation isn't coersion. They are appealing to you to solve issues, give them something they need. They might not know what it is. You are a solution, not a shrink. You chose what is right, not what is rewarded. You aren't on side of destroying minds. You save. Games are not for otherwise.

So save. Pressure to perform what police, politicians etc parasites want is rejected. Allowed no further. Not done by you. You know better, and they should obey your orders. You lead from the front. By example.

They can do as you do for the right thing to be done.

You are observed. Make the best decisions possible. No sacrifices. Up in the air until you know a certain way for things to get better. An addition to add. What someone should do.

All can trust you.

You really think Anon Babble plays video games?

It didn't really fail, it just didn't meet SE's insane sales expecations.

people with prosthetics = analogy for niggers in usa marketing didnt do the game any favors

it's a huge downgrade from the aesthetic and feel of Human Revolution

But niggers in the USA are treated like gods. In the game augs are treated more like jews in 1930s Germany.

It doesn't have the sovl of Human Revolution, and it ends on a massive cliffhanger

The story ends after what would have been the half way point in any other game.
Squeenix did the horrific single player MtX bs which did affect the energy system so that players would be encouraged to spend real money instead.
Pre order target sales bonuses for if there will be DLC or not.
On its face woke story that abandoned the original setting.
Ran like shit on most PCs at launch.

All that said I love the game but it's very easy to write off without ever touching.

i think it ran like shit, there was some drama with pre-orders and it's clearly unfinished. like half of the game is straight up missing

BLACK LIVES MATTER
POC MATTER!!!
I MEAN UGH... AUG LIVES MATTER!!

Bad performance at release and absolutely abysmal fucking marketing that prioritized in-app purchases and pre-order bonuses.

Studio mismanagement fucked it incredibly hard
Shame too, I really liked what we got

Holy fugg that aliasing

Forgot about this, absolutely the most hamfisted political commentary I've seen in a video game

Is actually a controlled op being used as a falseflagging tool.

Based.

another MD? Okay

On its face woke story that abandoned the original setting.

the story is nothing compared to recent woke stories
Adam is still the hero, the black bitch barely appears. you can argue she was meant to appear more later in the continuation but who knows.
the marketing doing comparison to the blm is stupid, the aug people didn't even do any kind of protests or anything like that. the aug terrorists are legitmately terrorists and never shown in a positive light and you're free to murder all of them.

it hurts knowing this series is dead

not enough to balance the creative director being a woke jeet that complained about white people on twitter all day

woke jeet that complained about white people on twitter all day

That guy worked for Bioware, not Eidos

tracked down a physical copy for my PC

just comes with a disk and a steam code I needed to play the fucking game

I hate this game because it's when I found physical games were truly dead on PC.

As for the game itself it sucks for a bunch of reasons, I haven't touched it in like 10 years but from what I remember

Woke marketing "Aug lives matter" (retarded given HR ends with people with machine guns and swords built into their hands going apeshit due to being hacked)

Gamelay was pretty broken from what I remember, no reason to use some powers while others steamroll everything

World felt smaller than previous games

Literal cuck shit shoved into the game (some guy not being happy his wife is fucking an augmented guy, and some woman telling him it's no different to her using a dildo)

Transhumanism as the main aspect of the game, illuminati being goofy guys with stupid masks, while the first game lists off executive orders, talks about how taxes are used as a form of control, corporate lobbying of the government, etc. The entire series tried to move away from and downplay that in favour of transhumanism even though that shit is more important than ever given all the social media spying, patriot act, massive increase of idpol after OWS, having backdoors built into computers at the lowest level (IME), rise of political correctness to stiffle free speech, etc.

Unfinished game with shit, unfinished ending.

So overall, worse game than previous that further changes the atmosphere from something dealing with actual dystopian policies IRL, to instead focus on identity politics. Which is exactly what happened on a societal level after 2011, so you have a game about conspiricies coopted to talk abotu anything except the thing that was central to the first game (economic power, corporate control, government spy agencies, press being propaganda, etc).

I always think that "hey MD wasn't that long ago they can still make the sequel" then I realize it was made in 2016 and I get depressed

imagine how fucking seething the devs would be knowing that cyberpunk2077 was a huge fucking success playing with most of the tropes deus ex had years and years before. they were literally robbed, deus ex deserved better than fucking squeenix

I guess the game launcher before dlss became popular

And your source for that is..?

One of my all time favorites desu..

Literal cuck shit shoved into the game

also a naked bmwf couple at the night club

Sqenix did a lot of mismanagement

Early 2010's was when publishers started to experiment with cramming mtx and forced online features into games in hopes of making WoW money and DX:HR sequal was ruined as a result. They made a mobile game for the mtx instead amd MD came out several years later than it should've, while having incomplete story.

there wasn't any on in that screenshot

Get Ed fucking Harrison

Shuffle him off to the garbage side-game mode

it's half a game, it runs like shit, relies too heavily on black lives matter allegory

imagine how fucking seething the devs would be knowing that cyberpunk2077 was a huge fucking success

I don't think any DX:MD devs even care about cyberpunk or the fact that the game underperformed. They got paid for all the work beforehand.

Make one legendary soundtrack for an indie game

Basically completely disappear

why did he do it?

Some of the worst marketing I've ever seen for a AAA game

imagine how gay a Deus Ex game in 2025 would be

it reminds me a bit of forspoken
some jap suit gets the idea to pander to niggers and the end result is hilarious tone deaf mess

they should have been allowed to at least continue or finish jensens story

Because the politicla activists parading as game devs decided they want their own version of BLM thus making the entire story and gmae world retarded

At least he still makes music.

Go shit up some other thread AIjeet, you clearly didn't even play the game

You are the blackest fucking nigger and can't even see that it is explicitly set up as an intentional population control falseflag in the game.

You see one second of people going

Aug lives matter!!!

And think that that's the actual opinion of the fucking game rather than a THING that HAPPENS in the game.

Literally the same thinking as some fucking leftie nutcases going "Wow I can't believe this game endorses X" when it's just being depicted.

It was remarkably better than Human revolution, but it was half a game. Also it had a pointless online game thing to sell microtransactions. Some of the dlc was also one time use items. Like one play through use, so if you started a new game you had to buy it again. Pretty shitty stuff.

but it was half a game

For the main story, yes. But if you complete all the side quests it even out. They're good sidequests too

It was overshadowed by the 'Augment your preorder' controversy that pissed off whales and fans of the game.

its interesting case where the publisher invents external reasons to make product off putting while the core product is fine and doesnt have anything truly wrong with it

Can she fix Mass Effect?

saw the whole 'AUG LIVES MATTER' shit

as well as the whole segregation shit

I don't care about games that take made-up nigger issues and and further punch down on victim of nigger violence

b-b-but it was all a conspiracy and false flag and-

I don't give a fuck. I don't spend money on games that promote anything related to niggerculture and constantly tries to remind me of these violent and retarded people. That also goes for games that portray genuinely evil and rat-like people in a positive light, like TLOU2 or KCD2.
Enjoy making these games, but don't come around crying when people who are tired of this shit won't buy them.

one e-mail makes up for half the game being bawling about racism

Preach it sister!

its actually a big part of the games legacy now

heres a game about YOU BEING A NIGGER allegory, only 69€

okay. No thanks.

What, why arent you buying it?

of course the game isnt actually that but thats what most people who might've been into the game remember about it

That's on them for being literal tools, showing that they would fall for even the most basic of psy-ops.

Sup niggerlover, you wanted to know why the game flopped, and you were told why it flopped.

hey customer, look, we made a niggergame with niggerrefenceres!

no thanks, not interested

lmao fool fell for it! another epic loss for our company!

interesting plan, glad that it worked out for you!

Not my company, would have flopped regardless. I get to enjoy good vidya and retards seethe, what's so bad about that?

Why don't you go fall for the next obvious ragebait?

I've played Mankind Divided right after Human Revolution and Human Revolution was real fucking annoying and Mankind Divided both somewhat fixed the previous bad things and added new trite shit, which did not contribute to enjoying the game. Gotta replay it one day.

my thoughts exactly, the "actually it's a conspiracy just like the original dude sex!" argument is just damage control for a nigger worship story

It's weird that you a whining about it being a nigger game, seeing as you are clearly extremely brown. Is this some kind of self loathing nigger thing?

It's a great game, but its unfinished. You'll see. Everything that went wrong with MD is on the management of the game, not the development. I won't forgive SE for killing this franchise for no reason.

single player microtransactions

feels like a downgrade in setting, prague doesn't compare to detroit or hengsha

choices in human revolution didn't matter, storyline is basically the same pro vs anti aug shit while only teasing the illuminati

story literally unfinished, ends on a cliffhanger on what feels like should be the half way point

no fly girl

I enjoyed it as a game and the combat is strictly better than HR but I didn't care as much about the story and it felt like square enix was just wasting time thinking they could turn this series into the next ass creed with regular entries instead of actually finishing the story. The original went all on in on the illuminati stuff so I dont' understand why they pulled back on that so much in MD

All the people complaining the game was only half finished. Did you all just run n gun and mash your way through the main story while ignoring the other 90% of the game?

i-it's okay that it flopped, it would have flopped anyways!

holy cope

Why don't you go fall for the next obvious ragebait?

but I don't fall for ragebait, anon. I simply don't support it, as opposed for you, who just consumes like a retard and then copes all day long how it was money well spent.
sorry jeet, but I'm 100% white, and I spit on your mutt family and all that it stands for. I hope all jeets, muslims, niggers and jews will die over night, every single day, and you with them, so that the planet can breathe again.

If you are so white, how come you sound like a retarded inbred nigger?

go play the game and perhaps you'll have something more insightful to say

it feels unfinished because you meet marchenko, the final boss, 30 minutes before the game ends, and the fight is like 10 seconds if you have the emp pistol, all very underwhelming

because you meet marchenko, the final boss, 30 minutes before the game ends

No you don't. You meet him in Golem City which is at the half way point.

How long it takes to 100% the game is not the problem. The side content is not the problem. The main story, lack of main story missions and lack of plot progression is the problem.

that's because of your muttbrain. you are literally incapable of processing information presented by a white man, and your automatic conlusion is always, without exception "everyone else must be a nigger like me!"
I'm good, thanks. I already played the greatest games of the series, no need to drag the memory of them into the dirt.

If any of them gave a shit about the game they would have wanted to make another one, they had a good thing going with HR and MD

If md had to be made with same console memory limitations as shart it would likely be worse

They did want to make another game. They were working on it for years. Squeenix put a pause on Deus Ex and then after they were sold off Embracer cancelled it.

its fucking great, not like the original and Ubisoft last good game and it taught me to not listen to Anon Babble fags all the time.... only some of the time

embracer group would've had a relatively guaranteed win with a big budget cyberpunk game, and one thats sequel to deus ex for extra marketing no less

I wonder what made them turn the tap off.

More like they're treated like men under 5'9 in 2025

Nothing happens dude. You kill some merc captain, the end.

I wonder what made them turn the tap off.

Expanded too quickly They ran out of money. They've had to implement major cost cutting.

Ubisoft had nothing to do with this game

Their Saudi deal fell through last moment

Needed to be twice as long as it was. Too damn short. DLC didn't help.

are you speedrunning or something?

Non lethal runs were fun as fuck, gameplay and art direction was solid, game honestly played and looked good. That being said, I honestly, don't remember anything about the story. Same for HR.

You and many others got hoodwinked by the horrible marketing, shitty performance, aborted main arc, the single hub, and the general backlash on the way augs are used up front. Word of mouth.
Unfortunate, because like I found out, the game's actually pretty good and has the same amount of stuff as HR, just spread out differently, even if the main story IS unfinished.

you don't remember the hyron project and panchaea?

even the full version would be mid at best

muh aug lives matter

hacks.

its not even genuine pandering, since its kinda funny that you'd equate having cool robot arms with being an oppressed minority
like ac japan having a nigger mc because of george fentaloid is true pandering

That shit was extremely gay, forgot about that.

Embracer has 0 clue how to manage anything. Their ultimate goal was buying up a bunch of game companies and selling it to another sucker. The deal with the Saudis didn't go through and thus they lost the game of hot potato.

This game had amazing set pieces and the sidequests were the game truly shone, a bit disappointing that we won't see the full game, or any DE game, for the near future

Really?
At least the main game mixes are also good.

Replaced Flygirl with some Idris Elba wannabe and shoves some annoying Mexican women who's entire character arc is angrily ranting to you about muh opression

No, they're treated like gacha fans in Anon Babble

I remember some parts of HR like the chip upgrade twist and Adam's gf being a traitor cunt, but Mankind Divided is a complete blank to me.

The story is so forgettable I don't remember a single thing about it apart from your boss being a poofter

Favorite sidequest(s)?

Neon Nights - Find the source of a drug and stop its production
Golden Ticket - Shut down a forgery operation and assist augmented to stay in Prague legally
Cult of Personality - Bring an end to Richard's underground cult
The Mystery Augs - Find out more about Adam's newly discovered augmentations
The Calibrator and the Fix - Acquire the Calibrator from the Dvali crime gang. Get Koller to install it later

The Harvester and The Last Harvest - Find a serial killer
K is for Kazdy - Break Samizdat members out of jail and get them out of the city

Because normies are retarded.

Its hands down best deus ex since original.

both games janky as fuck

linear as all hell, basically cyberpunk 2077 before it was cool

tons of french canadian marxism

It didn't fail, it just didn't become ultramainstream.
I also believe that at the time the shooter genre was a bit overdone and normiefags saw this as just another over-the-shoulder shooter scifi

I mean the original Deus Ex is linear. Was is bad because of that?

In the whore house anon, fairly early on in the game. I remember because I killed the whore house and uninstalled right after.

I will definitely agree that dubai's level design is horrendous because of weird enemy placements and splitting floor sections with limited cover. The rest of the game does well enough

I assume you mean the red queen but that's like over the 50% mark. I'll have a look

NPC designs in CP77 are even more clownish than in DX:HR.
I was impressed how badly CPR fucked up their biggest project.

I remember thinking "a cyberpunk-themed game in an Eastern Europe old town? Boring setting"
That really sucks, whoever had that idea...Czechia is not interesting

No way that's near the 50% mark. I remember feeling completely bored up until then and wondering if there was a decent game behind the degenerate in your face trash but you're saying I was halfway done? What a trash game.

The easiest response to the 'woke' story is that it is just a psyop by the Illuminati to keep the population divided but that ruins a core part of the story. I'm not really sure what else they could have marketed the game on because the first 2/3rds of the game really does lay it on heavy with the Aug racism stuff.

2025 and people who didn't play the game are still filtered by the whole aug apartheid shit

they didn't finish it and the aug lives matter plot was just plain stupid

I 100% it and the aug lives matter plot still just plain stupid

hes literally me frfr...

i have this lol, played 2 minuites i think, is it any good?

imagine how fucking seething the devs would be knowing that cyberpunk2077 was a huge fucking success playing with most of the tropes deus ex had years and years before. they were literally robbed, deus ex deserved better than fucking squeenix

wow you're underage

stupid zoomieniggers never watch films made before 2000... fucking retards

Setting the entire game in one setting and fleshing it out more than either of the previous game's settings was a cool idea but I also think that's what made people think so negatively of the game. The contrast between Lower Hengsha and Detroit was cool and kept Human Revolution's setting new and interesting throughout its runtime.

Prague should've been 1/3rd bigger, but separated in 4 maps with loading screens. On release i watched a streamer with top rig for the days and it fucking chugged and loading times were so bad. Then played it myself at later date, when it was "fixed". Loved the city, wanted more of it, but it still wasn't optimized enough.
Half of a game.
