Deus Ex Mankind Divided review

  • This video has been a long time in the making as I really wanted to give my favourite series' latest addition the thought and attention it deserves.
    It's not a nostalgic review like the others, I'm trying to be fair in this one. But if you want to see the other Deus Ex videos that I've made, see below:
    Deus Ex - • Deus Ex - a Nostalgic ...
    Human Revolution - • Deus Ex: Human Revolut...
    A few additional points (6 GB upload isn't something you want to do more than once, fortunately these are just a few small things)
    * Stealth now uses a Hitman-style bar, enemies only spot you once this is full. If you're further away / concealed in some way then it fills up a lot slower, making stealth much more manageable rather than an insta-alarm. This is much better than Human Revolution, though it's still harder because of the greater number of enemies in the levels.
    Looking at the Soundtrack Michael McCann was accompanied by Sascha Dikiciyan and Ed Harrison this time as well. Apologies for not giving you guys credit in this video- you've also helped to make this game's music what it is. My extra long pokey fingers would also pat your heads in approval.

    Palisade Bank is incredible. When I found out how to reach the three other accessible corporate vaults and the things you could get inside them, it was one of the most rewarding feelings I've ever had in a game.

      every deus ex game has the original to live up to, everyone's expectations are extremely high despite the fact no game in the series has or will surpass it so they won't enjoy it for what it is and nitpick the one note story that obviously doesn't live up to the first game

      You can't not kill him afaik. But I'd argue that it's in a good thing in the sense that it's in line with his character. There's no way he'd back down until either he gets what he wants or he's dead.

    But how can it be nostalgia when it's only a few years old? It's that good.
    I do care for the story, a lot even. Yet I think I agree with most of what you way.

    This is one of the most underrated games of the last several years. Opportunities for creative exploration and environmental storytelling in an open world/hub space were maybe never done better than they are here. Puts Cyberpunk to shame. This and Kingdome Come Deliverance are the template for the kind of games I desperately wish were made more often.

  • @crzces7500

    Interesting take. I really enjoyed the game, to the point where I think it may have been the best Action crpg of 2016, and certainly one of the best multi-platform games of the year. That said, I was still pissed at Square. Not the devs in Montreal, the publishers themselves.
    The DLC was pulled from the game and modified a bit, and roughly 1/3 of the game was cut altogether from the end for the next installment which they cancelled soon after release do to poor sales.
    The jail DLC? That was supposed to be in the beginning of the game. I forget the quote from Square but it was akin too “People don’t want 90 main stories, and add microtransactions”.
    The game was obviously made not even knowing they would be added, and the reason so many characters or stories seemed unfinished was because the game had those 30 hours cut, and the 3 DLC’s pulled from the game a month, possibly less, before launch. It was like a movie that needed to be 3 hours long, and the studio saying “No, we’ll get less money in ticket sales because there will be less showings. Chop it in half”, and they left a ton of film on the cutting room floor.
    It’s a testament to Eidos Montreal that the game made sense at all. Square should be disgusted with the Augment My Pre-Order campaign (or maybe not, I didn’t really care), but they should be appalled with the cuts, canceling the sequel, just the entire handling of the game and franchise after the fact.
    “Pre-orders were horrible, we better cut half the game”. “It’s selling badly, forget it, lose what isn’t in the 3 DLC’s, the sequel is cancelled”.
    So yep, the game was a blast, and I know they said the sequel was cancelled because they needed all hands on deck for new Marvel titles, but following the production from start to finish, that’s a load of crap.
    I can only imagine how much better the game would have been if it was left the way it was initially submitted for final approval. 80 hour main quest, 100-150 hours of side quests. What the heck was Square Enix thinking? Especially with the length of action crpg’s of late? Skyrim and Fallout 3? Pretty fricken long, though a ton is procedural. The Witcher 3 had recently come out? Pretty fricken long. And the content was already done! It wasn’t like they wanted more money to add to the game. Wow it irks me.
    My 3 favorite franchises all got screwed in about a year and a half. Deus Ex for being chopped then cancelled which was then changed to “put on hold indefinitely”, then Fallout 4 which was a leap backwards in every way that made the new Fallouts so enjoyable (story, choice, agency as none of those choices matter, but hey, you can build settlements instead of rescuing what you still believe is your young child; but yeah, what parent wouldn’t rather build fricken fences?), and the utter disaster that was Mass Effect: Andromeda. The only one I chose not to finish, as everything felt like a gosh darn chore. None of the “Social Justice” complaints, and I could care if Manveer hates me for being a cis half Caucasian male. The game was just so bad. I didn’t like the fighting. I was not a fan of the story...
    It was a rough year and a half for my favorite franchises, thank goodness I’d had such a silly library of older games I hadn’t played to get me by, as it’s not just my favorite franchises, it’s the majority of AAA games now. Heh, I finished Divinity: Original Sin 2 then started on the Arkham series as I’d only played the first.
    At least Madden is back on PC, and gameplay is exactly like it was on the PS3. The tangents Deus Ex Mankind Divided can lead into!

      I knew about the low sales and the following hiatus-status of Deus Ex but I had no idea about the cut conten that already was finished!! That's just sad. I really enjoyed the gameplay, and I enjoyed where the story was going. So sad how it just ended with a whimper. And as a slap in the face a cliffhanger in the credits on top of that..

    P.S.

    Thanks for the review! I'm in love with human revolution and especially Hengsa, because it not only takes you to a location with a different culture, it also upgrades it to 2027.
    When I heard Mankind divided is going to be in Prague I was a bit disappointed, because I'm Eastern European Russian, so there is nothing new (culturewise) it could have given to me. But when you see same streets, same people, same swearings, same piles of shit everywhere AND all this cool tech within your own city, it makes you believe that we ARE going to have all those upgrades. Makes you believe that it's just a matter of time when people would have those augmentations within your own place.

Ehm and Polish and Czech Cultures are West Slavic, so you will see a lot of similiarities, of course you will hear "Kurva/Kurwa" in both games, because Poles and Czechs use it a lot, the languages are kinda similiar. For example. If you meant it like "It didnt give me anything new culturewise because im Eastern Slav" then thats wrong, there are A LOT OF difference between West Slavic cultures and East Slavic cultures, I cant understand Russian, if you came to me spoke to me in Russian, I wouldnt understand you anything... mabye 2% of words, but thats nothing.

      This game's narrative is a complete joke. The concept of augmented people experiencing racism is so stupid but the execution is even more cheesy and cringe even the characters are poorly written because they tried to make this awful idea work. I would rather play 1000s of Kingdom Hearts than go through this game's story. The only good things about Mankind Divided's non gameplay parts are a couple of sidequests, level design and Adam's voice actor.
      I'm so disappointed in this game but since it's short it's very replayable and I've put over 80 hours in this game. I like exploring the levels in this game like the Utulek Complex, Palisade bank, Garm facility, Prague. So much effort put into other aspects but the story is so insulting to the player's intelligence and to the Deus Ex franchise.
      Also, this game inherits Human Revolution's flaws and only magnifies it like how no one in this world shuts the fuck up about augmentations. Everywhere you go all the npcs only talk about how much they hate Augmented people or how Augmented people are facing "Racism" which makes the world feel very fake and shallow as if this world was a made up to tell this shallow story unlike the original Deus Ex which had such a rich atmosphere.

    It never felt like busywork or overwhelming to me. The game has no map with things to do, on the contrary it rewards you for thinking outside the box or being curious. Its a really great game with amazing graphics, details, world building, secondary missions better than the main one, lots of replayability. I was hooked from the moment you reach praga and are free to burglar every single home you see 😅 I played the whole game 3 times in the past years and it never gets tired.

    A weird thing I've decided after coming back and finally (restarting and then) finishing Mankind Divided: while stealthy pacifism still feels like the "best" way to play, I've found that remaining a bystander in some of the moments of oppression is a lot harder to do, especially in today's political climate.
    I ended up evolving my playstyle into that of a sort of augmented antifascist. While I still wasn't killing police, I made a point of knocking them out and disabling their defenses throughout the late game, and genuinely regretting not doing so earlier on when I saw similar things in Golem City. My Adam Jensen had some incidental character development in that regard, and it solidified the game as something that deserves to be revisited. I just wish I could have actually freed some of the caged citizens, or that they would have taken the opportunity to escape when it became available. It was strange seeing those NPC's fail to react when I jumped in to help them. Maybe that's something they'll do better in the next game.

    Spoilers!
    I was kinda angry with victor as a last boss. The first time i saw him i was like: Please, don't be generic 'im a big-last-boss-guy'.
    But he was. Sure he has some backstory, but...man. 'HAR HAR IM BULKY TANK BOSS THAT YOU WILL FIND AT THE END OF THE GAME.'
    From a trailer, i thought that there will be more depth to whole 'cult', victor and that yellow-hoodie terrorist from the trailer.
    In game, we see him once, at the station and that's it. Lame. I wanted a nice sub-story and i got nothing.
    I was good at the game and victor was not really a challegne for me, and i was playing as pacifist/stealth/hardest.
    Also I was angry at the fact, that we are in Golem city only once. C'mon it was such a cool level, it is a sin that we are not able to return to it after police started to freak out.
    Good game, but these small things bug me.

    1.) There isn't any right way to play the game, you can stealth the game, run and gun, juggernaut, etc. This also means you don't have to play necessarily as a good guy, you can kill cops, kill civilians, damage property, deliberately screw some people over, etc.
    2.) Ya quick saves. I wouldn't have used them as much if they had more auto-saves but what can ya do.
    3.) You can save Miller, the guests, and the main bad guy. You just have to make the right choices.
    4.) 15:10 That's the point of augmentations, it saves your time, health, ammo, etc. Try playing the game without augs, it's really hard. (the cloaking and carbon blade shooting augs have saved my ass more than once.)
    5.) Hell ya they're going to make a another deus ex!

      3) I guess the point there was to stay totally stealthy when going to the Man so the Soldier would just think you are doing nothing?

    If you like to explore, the game is really worth it as many sides of the stor(ies) aren't told directly but they are revealed through hints (dialogues, important characters who are seen from afar in cutscenes, lol even some quests and/or special ways to end them are well hidden in the game and need to be found). Also, the game can be improved with mods (graphic ones like the sharders mods but also mods which improve the gameplay like Deus Ex Mankind Divided Hardcore Revival 1.0).

    My biggest gripe with this sequel is that I feel the _entire_ game was severely _hobbled_ simply by the fact that we're continuing to play as a pre-defined Jensen - I would *much* rather have started with a new, wholly clean-slate character, who can go his/her own way and find their unique story along the way, without all the last entries baggage dragging on behind...

    With all the features mentioned in this review, Mankind Divided would be a nearly perfect game if only it supported mods. With an unofficial patch, the worst of its glitches could be fixed (memory leaks, missing textures, quickload CTDs, etc).
    But what most depressed me was a combination of the music and the negative barks by random NPCs. I didn't realize how being told to screw off incessantly by so many random NPCs was depressing my mood until there was a place near the end where people were actually civil and polite. This may be realistic for the setting but not why I game. I just wish it supported mods to fix these problems or at least make them optional (so that I could turn them off).

    Of course I know this isn't a "request series", and I know I probably sound dumb asking this, but you should do a review of Mirror's Edge. I consider Portal 2 and Half-Life 2 the best games evaaa, and Mirror's Edge kind of let me re-live that feeling of playing both Valve games for the first time. The sterile feeling of Portal and the futuristic city of Half-Life, backed up with a decent soundtrack just sort of give me this nostalgic feeling. Hopefully you feel the same, too.

  • @brentblayoneblayone3948
    @brentblayoneblayone3948 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this game. Flawed in a lot of ways, yes. But outside of preorder/micro transaction controversy and an underwhelming MAIN story (I emphasize main because there are some awesome side quests), this is one of the most intricate and well designed games on the market in terms of exploration, level design and replayability (Which are the reasons I love Deus Ex). The world detail and environmental story telling is awesome, and this game is huge as long as you don't go directly through the main quest line. All I heard when it came out was complaints about length which i found genuinely confusing as my first playthrough was just short of 30 hours, longer than any first playthrough I've had in the whole series. It sucks that publishers and their greed are getting in the way of developers making great games, and tarnishing the legacy of great franchises. With that said, during my time with the game I had no idea microtransactions existed until i saw it online, the praxis and XP system is very well balanced and rewards you for everything you do in game; being able to purchase them with real money would just simply break the game and make it easy. Also Breach which you didn't mention here is a strange and completely unnecessary addition but similarly to Mass Effect multiplayer, was kind of fun and addictive in it's own right. Overall if you don't have trouble ignoring the unnecessary game modes, mediocre main story and microtransactions, (which i didn't at all, I play this series for it's gameplay & open nature) this is an amazing sequel that builds a believable world to mess around with and learn about at your leisure.

    I just finished Middle Earth:Shadow of War and I had the same feeling. I was always excited to load that game up. Deus Ex I need to convince myself to try again and play. It's super complex, but the game just dumps you into the game, has people yelling at you that they need your help right away and you bumble through the controls trying to figure out what the hell the game wants you to do. The load times are outrageous and the stability stinks. I've had to reboot twice already and I've only played for 4 hours.

      It is, I found 2 of them actually. You use it and he dies. I had a quicksave so I went back and took him out non-lethal since I figured that's more character accurate, also because Marchenko may be useful in the future in tracking down the Illuminati (if the game remembers your choice).
