To see how much Adam has lost... Katrina, Megan, his dog, his job, his limbs, his feelings, his emotions, his... humanity. Yet his actions make him more human than many of us.
V- loses 2 friends and has his life threatened - proceeds to destroy city. adam - loses literally everything including his own body - doesnt kill anyone. and the award for most badass cyberpunk protagonist goes to...
I remember sometime in December '12, I fired up the game on my PS3 and just left the main menu on while I was out doing other stuff. When I return my whole family had gathered around the TV and when I came back they told me "what a beautiful score". I ended up playing Deus Ex that evening with my dad cheering me on, hahah!
Since the game has been out in my music player the play count for this main theme is around 700. This theme music for Deus Ex will never get old. The entire game's score is a masterpiece. I really hope Mankind Divided has an epic score too. I also hope the main menu theme is just as good as Human Revolution's is.
its the best game ever I like dota 2 and lol but non games can get over this games soundtrack gameplay (if ur playing on the hardest mode ) and perfect story telling
Это шедевр. Суть даже не в механике игры, а в её истории. Она пропитана всеми отраслями человеческой натуры и заставляет чувствовать все известные человеку эмоции. Гениальная музыка, которая пронизывает и без того гениальную историю. Вот, что по-моему мнению можно и нужно называть шедевром.
Я так понимаю что ты из серии раньше познакомился с Human Revolution. Я бы мог сказать что оригинал Deus Ex лучше в сюжете и повествовании, но нет. Для меня обе этих игры шедевры. Недаром много раз возвращался в этот, повествующий он нашем будущем и наших современных проблемах и прочих ситуациях, мир. Хз зачем написал, просто решил поделиться.
Но графика лютый калл даже для своего времени 2011 года, Папича щас смотрю проходит Деуса, все так как и было когда я играл, да музыка охуенная, геймплей там, но я просто бегал и стрелял во всех, надеюсь выйдет официальный ремастер Революшина я бы купил бы даже

I love how this song perfectly suits Sarif Industries. You can feel the underlying current of hope and courage in the song, but there's a heavy pall of melancholy over it all. Sarif and most of the other Transhumanists in the game's fiction are ready to soldier on despite all odds, but you know it's all cost them something. It's cost Adam his happiness and exposed him to a world he probably would've rather ignored, it's twisted those who would later become the Tyrants and it even managed to force people like Hugh Darrow and Bill Taggart to consider political extremism as a vehicle, intentionally or otherwise. Granted, Taggart isn't so much to blame as his PR goon and his terrorist connections, and Darrow's always been well-intentioned. By the end of the game, you realize that everyone's carried their respective agendas much too far. Sarif's naïveté becomes honestly sad the more the game progresses. So yeah, the song fits. So much hope, but also so much pain. As to whether or not these are growing pains, that's for Adam Jensen to decide.
Very well said, this sums up the game so well i can't even begin. There is a very melancholy tone throughout the whole game that, hearing the theme know, i feel is definitely created by the music. Those singular, high piano strokes stand out as the light to the rest of the theme's darkness. It speaks to the plot of the game and Adam Jensen as a character, basically a hero manufactured out of necessity.
***** I usually pick Sarif's by default, too. The one option with the flimsiest ground, honestly, was Darrow's. He was operating based on isolated cases and was too quick to assume that we were dehumanizing ourselves - not to mention that I think he projected his own incompatibility with augmentations onto others. He was basically saying "The Aug industry dealt me a bad hand, so everyone should pay, now!" and that felt ridiculously extreme to me. Nevermind, too, that the "social boss fights" against Darrow and Taggart felt like exercises in circular logic.
I went with Darrow's. Sarif's is not bad, but I didn't like the implication of letting corporations go wild with the stuff (TYM). Didn't like Taggart only because you can't trust the people behind it. Otherwise, I probably would have gone with Taggart since I thought the technology needed some regulation. The 4th option was no option for me, since I had gone through all that trouble of not killing any crazy civilians or more adversaries than necessary throughout the game. So, I went with the truth and figured this wouldn't be the end of technology, just a brief setback and a lesson learned. In any case, I've heard none of the endings are actual canon in regards to Mankind Divided.
This game made me start paying attention to world events and taught me how to read between the lines in the news. We're already living in a futuristic world that is a Faustian bargain. Technology has benefits, but with consequences.
Our world is a mysterious place yes... I guess that the thing we all crave for is big change and a pivotal role in the plot... transhumanism is a reality now... how long before we get to that "Human Revolution" dare to guess? :)
This sound is so... nightly. And the colors: golden, black, green are so suit to this theme. I like sitting alone in my room and listening to this at night. It helps me throw away all the troubles of the day and to reflect about something special.
Guys let's all show Michael McCann some love. He makes absolutely amazing soundtracks (including this one). He is often overlooked and not very well known. The Splinter Cell: Double Agent soundtrack was also really amazing (especially the menu music). His soundtracks just immerse you into the game.
I never asked for this, because I didn't know how. Jensen knows. Jensen provides. Jensen does not stare coldly at your dead father with nothing but a sarcastic quip about what a shame it was. Jensen understands.
*I wrote a 5-7 page college paper about transhumanism and immortality about 2 months ago.* Inspired mostly by this game and Civ: Beyond Earth. I've been crazy about the future, technology, and transhumanism ever since... You know the struggle of finding purpose in life? Something that you are crazy about and care deeply for that also becomes part of your character? This specific song is what started it for me. I liked the song but didn't understand what it was about. Played the game, played civ 5, pondered the idea of transhumanism and the future of humanity... And I just fell in love. Technology, transcendence, knowledge... This is what Humanity has been striving for since day 1. We've always innovated, always solved problems, slow at times but we rarely ever regressed. As more technology came into play, we feared a lot of it but we did extremely well. We didn't vaporize each other with nukes, we didn't bomb eachother with chemical weapons that we synthesized in labs, we didn't have a widespread epidemic that killed billions of people because of a few scientists. At the same time, we cured countless diseases, prolonged life expectancy significantly, sent people to the moon, population skyrocketed, and we currently live in one of the most peaceful times in history... All because of technology. Transcendence is human destiny and we've proven that consistently. There will always be people that resist progress, but it isn't anything serious at all. I mean, look how far we've jumped in 100 years. Sure there are times when we progressed slower but there was hardly any resistance at all... Those people that fear AI and Robot takeover? They fuel nothing but caution, which is a good thing and is what leads us to successfully develop technology. We built rockets in the past. And nuclear bombs as well. But how many times were nuclear bombs on rockets used to kill other humans? Never. How many times were nuclear bombs used to kill other humans, regardless of the delivery system? Twice. Let's now flip the coin. How often, instead of using rockets to kill each other, have we used rockets instead to put satellites into orbit? For GPS purposes, probes to other planets, the ISS, to land on the moon, to deliver weather data? How many times have we built *and used* nuclear reactors compared to nuclear bombs? The more intelligent we get, the less we often kill. Ignorance kills and technology leads to knowledge, not ignorance. It's truly something meaningful that we can embrace...
This music is the symphony of the singular light in a dark period of my life. When I would play this game, I would never kill anyone. The non lethal catharsis of beating the tar out of people, an escape, from the overwhelming stress in my life at the time has burned this into my mind. I hear it and instantly relax. I'm not homeless anymore, or despondent, neither lost to fear, my stepfather can't interject his anger into this, fear can't overcome me when this music began because I knew I was capable of overcoming SOMETHING at the weakest time in my life without death. As stupid as it is and as it sounds, knocking out nine guys with a gas grenade at once helped me remember you can solve some things without hate or anger, to detach from fear. To concentrate on preserving life while still accomplishing your own goals. There is a...SOMETHING to always preserving life when you have the means to take it away.
Same here, no kills! The enemies at the crash site were also stunned with one flash bang grenade, the mech was disabled with emp, then some with gas grenade, 2 with tazer. It was the best solution.
All the best to you on overcoming and persevering. Keep up the good fight and, to quote another character from another deeply connecting game, never stop fighting.
@bill nye the russian spy I'm sorry the game didn't reached your expectations however i think it's overkill to say it's dead i mean yes it's buggy as hell and really badly optimised on consoles but it's unfair to say it's a "bad" game. I'm about 20hrs into the game (ps4) the story is interesting and the gameplay is fun. Plus the devs are working on updates so the game will keep getting better and better. It's a shame that the community around the game is now so so divided.
@@bptdns22 I was gonna scold you for liking Cyberpunk, but I'm actually glad you liked it after being hyped for it and waiting for so long. Most people didn't get that luxury.
@@channel5980 There is a lot of points you mentioned were you are right and others that I do not agree with, but hey i'm not gonna make you like the game by publishing a TH-cam comment. Again, very sorry you are not enjoying the game as much as i do brother. Stay safe.
Wow this is powerful. It sounds like something I'd be listening to looking back on a golden age... and yet they play it as you launch the game up for the first time. I've never heard a menu theme more better suited to it's story than this, it has that underlying tone of sadness.
+Leo T M Sorry to burst your bubble but technological singularity will never happen. At least the way in most ppl think. You see AI is a myth in the way most ppl think. A computer has never and mostly will never be able to "think" in the sense that a human can. Computers simply process information and can make decisions based off of their programs. What I mean by this is that a computer can tell you say information on Deus Ex such as when it was created but will likely never be able to tell you why its a good game. What is more likely is that humans will some day be able to mechanically augment them selves in major ways. But saying that the computers will take over is like saying animals will band together to go to war with humans. While I suppose its technically possible its extremely unlikely. Or maybe mabe it was simply a funny comment and I am over thinking it way too much.
I never asked for this... theme to be extended but man does it rock! Love this game to death, one of the best games ever and easily among the best soundtracks in gaming.
This is an amazing soundtrack, definitely one of the best I have ever listened to. I remember leaving the main menu on for a forgotten length of time before actually playing the game. Whenever I listen to this soundtrack, I feel a surge of emotion sweeping through me and filling me with motivation. It makes me want to create something for posterity, for the betterment of humanity. It makes me think of the future filled with hope and excitement. It compels me to contemplate about technological progress, the advancement of the human race, and our place on this beautiful planet Earth. It makes me want to contribute to it. This soundtrack recently inspired me to learn computer science and sparked my interest in robotics. I'm probably not going to make augmentations but I do hope to create something useful to make the world a better place.
Somehow the early 2010s were best at portraying an awesome future... after that we lost hope... it's interesting that the 1990s had the most optimistic futurism but the 2000s and 2010s went a step beyond it into darkness... it was still a good process but after that... it just sunk us into despair.
This picture says, "A long day's work." I remember in game when Jensen finally sits down in his apartment while talking to Sarif and has a drink, smokes a cig. Badass.
This is epic... The theme carries a rhythm similar to human breathing, only slowed down, you can even hear the alternating inhale and exhale phases. The thunderous drum kicks are like beats of a heart, only everything is slow, like a patient in a hospital, recovering in coma after surgery. You can even hear a hiss of the air passing through the patient's gas mask and high pitched piano strokes like unclear beeps of the life support monitor, perceived unconsciously... How does this fit the game though, maybe if there was a main character who... oh wait... A story telling value in a musical piece. This is pure art. Also a perfect background you could meditate to.
Learned a lot from this game. Alphas, Betas, Omegas. That part taught me and out into learning how to identify and deal with then through trial and error. Literally, spent minutes, hours just learning on the side about them. That's one thing that stuck with me in the game....and this particular song
@@kevinbasta3557 I mean for all Montreal achieved right I can give them a pass on this tbh. Though I see your side and wholeheartedly agree with you I think they got most things and components about a dues ex game nail to perfection.
@@solidsnake6923 definitely they deserve the praise I am not saying they don’t deserve it. They really put their work into the game, it’s the boss the battle that weren’t the best
@@kevinbasta3557 I agree with you on the point of boss fights feeling unfinished. But I think that was a result of different creative visions. As the boss fights for this game were outsourced to some external devolopers. And wasn't a result of the Montreal's team's devolopment.
this is the theme i want to be played in the evening after sundown in my apartment in a busy city. the year is around 2070 and i just came home visiting my kids on earth.
I searched for this, years after having completed this epic game. I did not want to restart it again, that fight is over. It was so intense that I do not want the protagonist to repeat that. This soundtrack fits perfect to that.
I just played beat this game in my 3rd playthrough last week, a tear rolled down my cheek.. They don't make games like this anymore! Everytime I want to play another game... it seems nothing compared to the likes of this... I had to pull out GOTY and start playing that... sigh.. 2 months feels like 2 years waiting for this game... And I only really found out about it coming out a month ago :(
sometimes I just open up the game and leave it running in the background just to listen to this beautiful music. michael mccann is truly great and i can't wait to see his score for the next game.
I mastered Deus Ex in my childhood, I bought this game many years ago but still never played it. Nonetheless I often listen to its whole soundtrack, and I know I will play it. To the end.
I made a comment here years ago. Something about being on a rooftop listening to this. Years later I found my own comment by accident and replied myself implying we are imortal on the web. Some random user then replied: "we're not, everything fades, even data". He was right. My old user was deleted, my coment is gone. Everything is finite, especialy life. Make it count.
I never got around to play this game until recently and the first thing that struck me was how similar this soundtrack is to XCOM Enemy Unknown's. Turned out both soundtracks are composed by Micheal McCann
***** ...obviously. You clearly have no clue on Invisible War's plot and what's going on.. You are talking to me about a storyline that I know pretty well.. They year during Mankind Divided is 2029. That year Majestic 12 scientists made a clone out of Paul Denton.. that clone is JC Denton. :) Which from JC.. Alex came out.. Adam < Any other Deus Ex protagonist. Let me know when you'll learn some Deus Ex.
@@WriteAnEmailIFYouHaveAProblem Yes,I mean we already got a buggy glitchy game,specially on last gen consoles,AND theres alot of cut content,such a disappointment.
The sad part is this is already reality- we are being divided from one another. Technology is destroying not the world but our humanity- this will happen in my life time always said and knew it. But people won't chnage, band together accept one another regardless of colour and ethnicity, differences. That's what I love about this game and the music becuase it is more than just a game and I love Adam J so much more because he wanbts to change the world :D The truth is a scary place. But it's still the truth. When the time comes are you ready I know for damn sure I will be? :) people should stand together not against everything. I didn't come this far for us to mess the planet up.
The same thing was said 100 years ago and 100 years before that. What you see and have seen is the beginning and passage of a new greed, a pace of technological progress spearheaded by idiot savants who know only their expertise and are unable to comprehend the spirit or mentality of humanity. We now live in a world where keeping up requires a study and devotion that few can maintain. We are birthing a generation that cannot ever know our upbringing, what we can relate and what they relate to are literally in a different century. We've spent too long asking, "Can we and how much can we make?" and nothing else. As a species we're too caught up in the new and interesting, introspection and forethought is not common amoung us. But that is also our greatest strength, without it we would have never tamed the planet, never gone from 1 to 9 billion within less than 200 years. Technology is what the culture/society that created it is, whether for liberty, imprisonment, justice, fear, compassion...and it is as misguided as we are. The more we make it like us, the more we see ourselves. The lower our ideals the more corrupt it becomes and the less we care. Adam didn't want to change the world, he wanted to work and live in peace like anyone else but that option was taken from him without a choice. You, I, and everyone haven't 'gone' anywhere, we've lived. We were born, done what we have and managed to live long enough to see this current chapter in human history. The sad part is having to set the book down when we die.
somebody. please, help me. that was my first game. every time when im remember it, im just.. crying i cant hold it on. im cannot do anything. please, help
someone's probably made this joke already but the only reason this game was underrated was because nobody got past the menu screen
That is a simply amazing joke :) :D

Wise words indeed.
I always said that cyberpunk as a genre is not about future, it's about present. Watch videos about real biohackers - we live in cyber society.

I think that within next 10 to 15 years we will see some pretty crazy shit. If we don't destroy the world before that :)

This music is the symphony of the singular light in a dark period of my life. When I would play this game, I would never kill anyone. The non lethal catharsis of beating the tar out of people, an escape, from the overwhelming stress in my life at the time has burned this into my mind. I hear it and instantly relax. I'm not homeless anymore, or despondent, neither lost to fear, my stepfather can't interject his anger into this, fear can't overcome me when this music began because I knew I was capable of overcoming SOMETHING at the weakest time in my life without death. As stupid as it is and as it sounds, knocking out nine guys with a gas grenade at once helped me remember you can solve some things without hate or anger, to detach from fear. To concentrate on preserving life while still accomplishing your own goals. There is a...SOMETHING to always preserving life when you have the means to take it away.
joelwinters100 I good shit, probably the most original thing I've read in awhile.
A sincere thank you 92 omega
Same here, no kills! The enemies at the crash site were also stunned with one flash bang grenade, the mech was disabled with emp, then some with gas grenade, 2 with tazer. It was the best solution.
Jesus, man. I hope you’re well.
All the best to you on overcoming and persevering. Keep up the good fight and, to quote another character from another deeply connecting game, never stop fighting.
Who else is excited for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided!
tmujir955 WOOOOOT
Please please PLEASE let it be as good as Human Revolution!
@@sevenwinds17 I've come from the future, sad to say, nope.
@@Grandmaster-Kush Sad to say, I concur.
I will play cyberpunk 2077 with this soundtrack
@bill nye the russian spy Why?
@bill nye the russian spy I'm sorry the game didn't reached your expectations however i think it's overkill to say it's dead i mean yes it's buggy as hell and really badly optimised on consoles but it's unfair to say it's a "bad" game. I'm about 20hrs into the game (ps4) the story is interesting and the gameplay is fun. Plus the devs are working on updates so the game will keep getting better and better. It's a shame that the community around the game is now so so divided.
@bill nye the russian spy No, if you want a good open world game, play Horizon Zero Dawn, Sleeping Dogs or Red Dead Redemption.
@@bptdns22 I was gonna scold you for liking Cyberpunk, but I'm actually glad you liked it after being hyped for it and waiting for so long. Most people didn't get that luxury.
@@channel5980 There is a lot of points you mentioned were you are right and others that I do not agree with, but hey i'm not gonna make you like the game by publishing a TH-cam comment. Again, very sorry you are not enjoying the game as much as i do brother.
Stay safe.
Wow this is powerful. It sounds like something I'd be listening to looking back on a golden age... and yet they play it as you launch the game up for the first time. I've never heard a menu theme more better suited to it's story than this, it has that underlying tone of sadness.
This song seriously makes me tear up... It's so emotional and sad.. It makes you want to hug the closest loved one and never let go
LateNightGaming - Halo News & Entertainment Tf
i first heard this song on a vid of a woman jumping in front of a train, it gave the video serious effect.
Ahhh, please don't start rambling on how Halo 4 is better than Reach. The truth hurts ;)
It's a great song. I love it
LateNightGaming - Video Game News & Entertainment for half a second I thought that read hug your closet....... 😉
Everytime i started this game i would sit at the menu for a minute or so and listen to this.
Can't help but remember all the coffee machines of the Sarif installations.
i have this portrait in my room as a reminder of the coming singularity
where did you buy that??? I need it:)
+Leo T M I have a razer scarf as well, nice :)
+Leo T M Sorry to burst your bubble but technological singularity will never happen. At least the way in most ppl think. You see AI is a myth in the way most ppl think. A computer has never and mostly will never be able to "think" in the sense that a human can. Computers simply process information and can make decisions based off of their programs. What I mean by this is that a computer can tell you say information on Deus Ex such as when it was created but will likely never be able to tell you why its a good game. What is more likely is that humans will some day be able to mechanically augment them selves in major ways. But saying that the computers will take over is like saying animals will band together to go to war with humans. While I suppose its technically possible its extremely unlikely. Or maybe mabe it was simply a funny comment and I am over thinking it way too much.
Arenzoj tldr lol you overanalyzed it af

One of best game soundtrack ever!! In one of best game ever... :)
Thanks for extending this theme, good job!:)
I never asked for this... theme to be extended but man does it rock! Love this game to death, one of the best games ever and easily among the best soundtracks in gaming.
One of the most beautiful games I have ever played. I loved everything about it. It taught me a lot.
This is an amazing soundtrack, definitely one of the best I have ever listened to. I remember leaving the main menu on for a forgotten length of time before actually playing the game. Whenever I listen to this soundtrack, I feel a surge of emotion sweeping through me and filling me with motivation. It makes me want to create something for posterity, for the betterment of humanity. It makes me think of the future filled with hope and excitement. It compels me to contemplate about technological progress, the advancement of the human race, and our place on this beautiful planet Earth. It makes me want to contribute to it. This soundtrack recently inspired me to learn computer science and sparked my interest in robotics. I'm probably not going to make augmentations but I do hope to create something useful to make the world a better place.
wow...that soundtrack literally changed your life...that means you will do something, never give up bro, because you're still human
city night driving music
definitly
Somehow the early 2010s were best at portraying an awesome future... after that we lost hope... it's interesting that the 1990s had the most optimistic futurism but the 2000s and 2010s went a step beyond it into darkness... it was still a good process but after that... it just sunk us into despair.
This picture says, "A long day's work." I remember in game when Jensen finally sits down in his apartment while talking to Sarif and has a drink, smokes a cig. Badass.
Badazz indeed
Thank you my ears are now augmented
I need to go back and play this game again!!
Sometimes one just needs to sit back and dwell upon the day one became Augmented, constant struggle for me atm...
just finished deus ex HR on ps3 and now listening this soundtrack, i think i gona cry right now....
Just started playing Deus Ex HR and it’s freaking good. How am I missed this game
This is epic... The theme carries a rhythm similar to human breathing, only slowed down, you can even hear the alternating inhale and exhale phases. The thunderous drum kicks are like beats of a heart, only everything is slow, like a patient in a hospital, recovering in coma after surgery. You can even hear a hiss of the air passing through the patient's gas mask and high pitched piano strokes like unclear beeps of the life support monitor, perceived unconsciously... How does this fit the game though, maybe if there was a main character who... oh wait...
A story telling value in a musical piece. This is pure art. Also a perfect background you could meditate to.
“Technology was meant to help mankind make decisions; not make them for us.”
Learned a lot from this game. Alphas, Betas, Omegas. That part taught me and out into learning how to identify and deal with then through trial and error. Literally, spent minutes, hours just learning on the side about them. That's one thing that stuck with me in the game....and this particular song
I'm going to play this on the New Year's Eve of 2026
I like movies and games about future life, robots. With this kind of music it feels like you are a part of it.
A game that's worthy of all the praise.
Except the boss fights they’re awful. I like Namir’s from a level design perspective with the other statues but not the rest tbh.
@@kevinbasta3557 I mean for all Montreal achieved right I can give them a pass on this tbh. Though I see your side and wholeheartedly agree with you I think they got most things and components about a dues ex game nail to perfection.
@@solidsnake6923 definitely they deserve the praise I am not saying they don’t deserve it. They really put their work into the game, it’s the boss the battle that weren’t the best
@@kevinbasta3557 I agree with you on the point of boss fights feeling unfinished. But I think that was a result of different creative visions. As the boss fights for this game were outsourced to some external devolopers. And wasn't a result of the Montreal's team's devolopment.
@@solidsnake6923 oh I see that actually makes sense
this is the theme i want to be played in the evening after sundown in my apartment in a busy city. the year is around 2070 and i just came home visiting my kids on earth.
I think 2070 is simply too soon for solar system colonization unless a miracle happens.
Im replaying this game and its just as good as it was back then.
my dad bought me this game long time ago for the ps3, when i was too young to like it, 12 years ago i wake up one morning and realize... everything
I could listen to this all day
I searched for this, years after having completed this epic game. I did not want to restart it again, that fight is over. It was so intense that I do not want the protagonist to repeat that. This soundtrack fits perfect to that.
I've had this as my wake up alarm music for such a long time, I forget what I had before. There are *much* worse things to wake up to.
Just sitting and staring at the menu screen has never been so intense.
listen. look outside. think about the global future. you can change it.
This music makes me cry for whats happening to our world where is everywhere a war for nothing theres no piece we are at secret world war 3
I listen to this when I feel burned out, emotionally and physically. Man can only go for so long until drops because of sleep deprivation
the soundtrack is really close to perfection, as is the game itself btw
I have no intention of revisiting cyberpunk.
I can't wait to play HR again.
Deus ex > cyberpunk 2077.
This joins souls of fire as one of my work songs.
I just played beat this game in my 3rd playthrough last week, a tear rolled down my cheek.. They don't make games like this anymore! Everytime I want to play another game... it seems nothing compared to the likes of this... I had to pull out GOTY and start playing that... sigh.. 2 months feels like 2 years waiting for this game... And I only really found out about it coming out a month ago :(
I love this! Deus Ex is my favorite game and Adam Jensen is my favorite Character!
If 2020 was a soundtrack this would be it.
Interesting video I did all the takedowns got all the augmentation perks completed every mission & Finished all endings.
sometimes I just open up the game and leave it running in the background just to listen to this beautiful music. michael mccann is truly great and i can't wait to see his score for the next game.
Splat It's a shame he didn't make the full OST for DX:MD though
In 3 years time boys.
2027
amazing game with wonderful soundtrack
working on a transhumanism assignment to this music makes me contemplate the meaning of many things.
Come 2027, I'm gonna be listening to this constantly
Just plainly awesome. Bought first two for PC.
I mastered Deus Ex in my childhood, I bought this game many years ago but still never played it. Nonetheless I often listen to its whole soundtrack, and I know I will play it. To the end.
I thought cyberpunk 2077 will live up to its hype. Fck. Bring back sequel to deus ex plz
I made a comment here years ago. Something about being on a rooftop listening to this. Years later I found my own comment by accident and replied myself implying we are imortal on the web. Some random user then replied: "we're not, everything fades, even data".
He was right. My old user was deleted, my coment is gone. Everything is finite, especialy life.
Make it count.
Best chillout music ever
Cybernetic John Wick...he even lost his dog!
Absolutely stunning track from one of the best games ever. Captures well hope and fears of future transhumanism era. It is also perfect to work.
I never got around to play this game until recently and the first thing that struck me was how similar this soundtrack is to XCOM Enemy Unknown's.
Turned out both soundtracks are composed by Micheal McCann
THE cyberpunk game
I feel you. I hope they make a 3rd game.
thies music amazing, came from lot of emotion .... is totaly atmosferic and beautifull ...
Starring Keanu Reeves and directed by the director or the Daredevil Netflix tv series. Rated-R, in cinemas Friday.
One of my all time favorite title screens
this sound track was ahead of it's time.
Fingers crossed for a part 3 in the series. Love it.
Remember Invisible War..? Nostalgia...
cmiller8492 remember Human Revolution? this video contains music from it.
Probably it's not a good sequel..
BUT..it had me addicted like no game else in the world..
+MusicisLife8393 Whom? o.O'
***** Adam started.. Alex finished.
Nice try buddy.. nice try.
***** ...obviously.
You clearly have no clue on Invisible War's plot and what's going on..
You are talking to me about a storyline that I know pretty well.. They year during Mankind Divided is 2029. That year Majestic 12 scientists made a clone out of Paul Denton.. that clone is JC Denton. :) Which from JC.. Alex came out..
Adam < Any other Deus Ex protagonist.
Let me know when you'll learn some Deus Ex.
This theme played in my head as I uninstalled Cyberpunk 2077 from my console out of disappointment.
After 2hrs I uninstalled that trash too. 90% of the promised content was cut out.
@@WriteAnEmailIFYouHaveAProblem Yes,I mean we already got a buggy glitchy game,specially on last gen consoles,AND theres alot of cut content,such a disappointment.
@@gazda9272 i immediately reinstalled lego city to play it after deleting cyberpunk that game had less physics than the damn lego game
I just cant keep away myself listening to this
Лучший трек! Для этой игры покупал наушники Sennheiser HD 215
и новую звуковую плату Creative Sound Blaster Z
Deus Ex Human Revolution & Mankind Divided para la eternidad
that's the menu theme, not the main theme
it's the new main theme now
Doesn't matter, it's epic
this game is the god version of cyberpunk 2077...
The sad part is this is already reality- we are being divided from one another. Technology is destroying not the world but our humanity- this will happen in my life time always said and knew it. But people won't chnage, band together accept one another regardless of colour and ethnicity, differences. That's what I love about this game and the music becuase it is more than just a game and I love Adam J so much more because he wanbts to change the world :D The truth is a scary place. But it's still the truth. When the time comes are you ready I know for damn sure I will be? :) people should stand together not against everything. I didn't come this far for us to mess the planet up.
The same thing was said 100 years ago and 100 years before that. What you see and have seen is the beginning and passage of a new greed, a pace of technological progress spearheaded by idiot savants who know only their expertise and are unable to comprehend the spirit or mentality of humanity. We now live in a world where keeping up requires a study and devotion that few can maintain. We are birthing a generation that cannot ever know our upbringing, what we can relate and what they relate to are literally in a different century.
We've spent too long asking, "Can we and how much can we make?" and nothing else. As a species we're too caught up in the new and interesting, introspection and forethought is not common amoung us. But that is also our greatest strength, without it we would have never tamed the planet, never gone from 1 to 9 billion within less than 200 years. Technology is what the culture/society that created it is, whether for liberty, imprisonment, justice, fear, compassion...and it is as misguided as we are. The more we make it like us, the more we see ourselves. The lower our ideals the more corrupt it becomes and the less we care.
Adam didn't want to change the world, he wanted to work and live in peace like anyone else but that option was taken from him without a choice. You, I, and everyone haven't 'gone' anywhere, we've lived. We were born, done what we have and managed to live long enough to see this current chapter in human history. The sad part is having to set the book down when we die.
That was interesting@@joelwinters100
Cannot wait for Mankind Divided! Just 4 more days to go! I'll probably end up taking the stealthy and more diplomatic approach again.
