Deus Ex Mankind divided - E3 2016 Dubai gameplay

[happyninja42]

Mostly just appears to be more of the same. Either a shitty shooter or a so-so stealth game depending on how you play it.

Those fade-out-fade-in takedown animations haven't got any less awkward with time.

I feel the same way. I've considered buying it a few times, but I dunno... It doesn't look that good or different from the last one.

"The last one" being the original game? Or are you talking about MD compared to HR?

HR. I don't get how you'd interpret that differently.

Because mention of the original game has popped up several times in the discussion about this game in one thread or another, with people frequently jumping between talking about them, so I thought I'd clarify which one you were comparing it to.

... how it mixed fun and satisfying gameplay mechanics...

Ehhhh. Matter of opinion that.

I found it's stealth mechanics to be okay. But nothing remarkable in an industry where stealth elements have become commonplace.

The combat was awful though. Stiff cover system and lacklustre shooting. A big part of the game's appeal was supposed to be how you could mix and match stealth and combat. That falls flat when one of your two main pillars is garbage.

The hacking was cool but horrendously overused. Got tedious about a third of the way through.

Oh, and the hub areas had a chronic case of sidequest exhaustion. I got so sick of the way that they'd send you trecking back and forth across Detroit.

...with an intriguing and believable world which was both thematically interesting and internally coherent.

I guess. I found it annoying how all characters talked about other than missions or plot events was human augmentation. I mean, sure, augmentation is a big deal, but Jesus Christ does nobody have anything else going on in their lives?

Made the world feel contrived and lifeless.

It's funny you bring up Dishonered as I love that game for much of the same reasons. Without Dunwall yeah it would only be a so-so game but the dystopian setting was executed so well that it made me believe such a place could have existed in some kind of parallel universe not too dissimilair from our own.

Oh, sure. Dunwall was a great setting and the art style really made it shine. I would have loved to see it in a better game.

My issues with Dishonored were purely mechanical. (Okay, and the story was drivel, but that didn't bother me too much.) It felt like playing a game that had cheats turned on by default.

Eh, I liked HR, and would be fine with "as good as HR." Doesn't have to be better, though I won't complain if it is.

I too am disappointed they kept the jarring cutscenes for takedowns and Icarus. They want to have a first person and third person mixed game but I think it would be much better if they just stuck with one perspective

 

[B-Cell_v1legacy]

I don't know why you're so excited about the game if you have so little faith in the devs that you think they'd screw up if they didn't copy the first game

First game is indeed my fav game of all time and will always remain. but HR was masterpiece too and this one looks better than HR in every way.

yes they are improving AI, Stealth, shooting, bigger level design, boss fights. etc

 

[Fireaxe]

Looks an awful lot like HR without the heavily coloured filter, which I'm not totally sold as an improvement -- the colouration gave it a distinct feel which I thought helped build the atmosphere.
