Deus Ex: Mankind Divided | A Complete History and Retrospective

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Hey Dad, how did you feel about Mankind Divided? 😎😎

[@saschaberger3212]

Divided honestly

[@Turborulla]

I felt thirsty for more after completing it

[@TheOldYoungOne]

I was gutted about the ending being such a letdown, and was also a bit miffed at the fact you could pay real money for more praxis kits. However I do enjoy mankind divided over human revolution for how much smoother it plays, and for the improved controller scheme compared to human revolution

[@vgfan4ever]

I never asked for this, son.

[@Monokai]

I eagerly await Embracer and IDIOS to do more with the franchise after playing this game. It's a shame Square Enix didn't let them properly finish MKDX and got heavily involved with trying to monetize the shit out of it.

[@petewilcock]

You missed a lot. Delara being Beth Duclare and its implications. Jensen doesn't "luckily" survive orchid because he's naturally immune. Orchid kills people by violently accelerating their aug rejection. Jensen has no rejection and has never needed neuropozyne in the series. This is commented on several times. It also makes perfect sense that Megan developed this since she based her original research on Jensen's DNA and its resistance to rejection. You barely scratched the surface of the subplot and themes.

[@sessione2]

I agree, plotwise it rushed his research quite a bit. Maybe this is way he didn't appreciate it. There are tons a little details hidden everywhere

[@SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

Yeah right near the end when Jensen meets Alex in his apartment, he clarifies this, he doesn't suffer from Aug rejection syndrome

[@anjalipanwar2587]

Hey I just finished deus ex mankind divided and I really want to get into the lore and all the Little details of both the games so can anyone please suggest a video or any article to see cause after finishing the game I just want to know more!

[@ricktyman4709]

@@anjalipanwar2587 Same here and unfortunately I can't find anything. There's tons of videos for human revolution, but nothing for mankind divided.

[@dstarling61]

In one of the initial cutscenes Jensen is shown arriving in Prague by rail. Sitting next to him is a sleeping Delara.

[@Torgo1969]

The side quest involving Adam's cat-loving neighbor Daria is the greatest side quest I have ever experienced.

[@BangingMash]

I’m currently playing this now, and have played through so many times. I still find a corner somewhere I hadn’t discovered on my previous playthroughs. Today I only just discovered Radich has a secret stash in his office. There’s always something new to discover!

[@JayShootHer]

I just discovered that Marchenko has a kill switch.

[@mravg79]

looking purely at the game I fully agree. But looking at the bigger picture makes me sad. So Human Revolution was a success for if you look at previous video, or wikipedia sales section for Human Revolution it was called a success with 2.18M copies. But sadly gaming landscape started to change soon after that and SqrEnx was frequently reporting that games fails to meet the sales expectations. Notable example reboot of the Tomb Raider series from 2013, the best selling game in the franchise but at 3.4M sold copies SqrEnx claimed it was a failure, finally with the PS4/XO release and getting to 8M copies they were pleased. This put Mankind Divided (and any other game for that matter) in a tough spot, on top of this there were other changes in gaming like additional monetization. And looking at everything leading up to launch of this game was a disaster. From very unclear tiers for pre-orders (no numbers given to the public) yet the more pre-orders player should gain more the last tier was to play game a week early. This was not well received (no surprise there) and finally game release was pushed so this whole idea went down the drain. Breach mode which felt like something added to have option for additional monetization. And finally cherry on top one time use consumables sold for real money including praxis points. The game dropped in price very quickly 6 months from release I got it brand new for 10EUR PS4. I blame the publisher as they are the once making decisions. With that said and back to the first sentence I have 2 copies of this game (PS4 and PC) I played it and I really like it. Maybe not as much as Human Revolution but it is close. It is still a very good game which in my opinion was hurt by publishers decisions. I wish we got the the 3rd part of modern DeusEx which would close many still open plot points. I hope I will get time to revisit this game.

[@Dieselbird]

When i was recovering from a broken knee, I played through this 6 times, back to back with minimal sleep in between, all in an effort to get all the achievements. It was one of the tougher things ive ever done in a game because of the inconsistency with how some achievements are tracked by the game. Years later I've played it all the way through a few times since, while its not perfect and the story is lackluster and ends poorly, its still one of my top tier games just because of the environments, gameplay, and overall feel I get when playing as Adam Jensen.

[@LtLeisureforce]

ahhh playing video games after a broken bone, preferably not the hands or arms, with some painkillers is an awesome time

[@Dieselbird]

@@LtLeisureforce It seriously is lol, I couldnt imagine recovering from a broken hand or arm I need my hands for all of my hobbies

[@CaptainUrahara]

I loved both Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. I’ve been begging for a sequel to MD to no avail so far.

[@pitgeheimagent5617]

And there won't come a sequel. Deus Ex got cancelled as far as i know.

[@germanb90]

@@pitgeheimagent5617 it was never actually cancelled, simply never was a priority forSE. Fortunately, SE sold Eidos with all it's including IPs... so we can still hope for sequel in maybe 4/5 years..

[@cyphaborg6598]

@Pit Geheimagent It's not cancelled and I'm pretty sure Eidos Montreal is going to do something with it. Like @Germanb90 mentioned it's probably going to take some time. Luckily they have a great engine they could work with wihout building from scratch. Unreal Engine 5. Probably going to see more from it in 2024. *ffs edited it 3 times lol*

[@SolidSnake240]

Theres rumors floating around about a new game in development. I hope its true. Probably wont be a sequel to these games though.

[@Monokai]

@@pitgeheimagent5617 Embracer have confirmed they will work on Deus Ex with EDIOS. Square cancelled Deus Ex and put Edios on Avengers projects (ugh.) until Embracer bought Edios from Square.

[@JayShootHer]

While I prefer Human Revolution, I've played Mankind Divided more. It begs to be replayed and doing different stuff. I always find something new or a new way to finish a mission. I do think it's highly underrated.

[@malazan6004]

Blows my mind people prefer HR.. is this based on your first playthrough? Playing them now it's clear to me MD is way bett3r

[@davep8221]

Agreed. Plus, I really prefer the augs; they are so much more fun. The little quality of life improvements are nice. I've replayed it 2/3 times in 2023 and every time I found new paths and used new augs, which completely changed the nature of the game for me. My [distant] second favorite DX game.

[@Bloo91]

Great work as always Son. Your retrospectives have become my favourite videos 😁

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Glad you enjoy!

[@henrik1743]

I just played this after having skipping it since release for no particular reason. The level exploring and attention to detail is amazing. And the soundtrack of TF29 HQ just slaps so unbelievebly hard.. we need a new deus ex badly

[@Netist_]

Honestly? I never finished Mankind Divided. I sunk plenty of hours into it, but I found that after a while I just... Didn't care anymore. The story meandered around so much, and nothing ever happened, it got kind of exhausting, like the carrot on the stick was always just a little further away, with no payoff in the mean time.

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

That’s the way I felt about HR whilst MD totally engaged me like nothing else

[@Dadee3]

*Mankind Divided is too good. Super immersive. The stealth missions in that big corporate building is very memorable.*

[@StarkeRealm]

Take this with a grain of salt, because I can't cite my sources off hand. My recollection was that Square ordered Mankind Divided to be split into two titles sometime during development (or during the shift from preproduction to actual development.) The feeling that it was more interested in setting up a sequel could be attributed more to the game literally stopping at a mid-point of the story, rather than resolving it. But, again, six or seven years out from that bit popping up in an interview, I can't cite back to the original source.

[@Kenshiro3rd]

I love how they went the "all the endings are canon" route again, for this one. if you pay attention, play through all the missions (side & main) and read reading all the side material in the game, and put all the clues together, its heavily implied that Jensen, sent out all three messages before sacrificing himself to destroy Panchaea at the end of Human Revolution meaning... SPOILER ALERT: Adam Jensen is dead, and you are actually a sleep agent clone of him with Implanted memories from a backup, and forged Augs...

[@DookieSpreader]

Son, you've made all us dads proud. Great job! Since you mentioned both Eidos and IO Interactive in this video, I would love to see you start a retrospective on the Hitman Series. Keep it up my boy

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Possibly 😎

[@jmfowler9062]

I wanted this game to be more than human revolution, but it wasn't even in the same field. It doubled down on some faults while ignoring others. For all the replays I gave it's flawed but endearing predecessor. I gave this one a single half hearted replay and let it rest.

[@mikeyahl7363]

I put 90+ hours into my first playthrough, & halfway through my second I NEEDED to uninstall it because I was neglecting my wedding planning. No other game, not even DX1, has ever distracted me *that* badly.

[@BloodyEveryday]

Another great video from my favorite son. Proud of you

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Thanks Dad, hope you enjoy!

[@AlyxxTheRat]

I love Mankind Divided for the same reasons you do but the plot and story really rubbed me the wrong way.

[@SolidSnake240]

Plot and story are by far the weakest parts of this game. Some of the sidequests are better than the main plot.

[@Robocop_1987]

I love DXMD a lot , it's got so much replayability and such good level design . I've played through the game five times and once at the hardest difficulty . The OST and visuals are perfect for me . More games should go for dense hub world's instead of big empty ones . Awesome work man .

[@smithcubs]

Your use of words are so pleasing to listen too. I don't even have to know what you're talking about to enjoy it. Big ups to you, no wonder you're my Favorite.

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Glad you enjoy the content!

[@nathanswim5037]

I really enjoyed DXMD even with all of its flaws and it's hard stop ending. As you said, Son, the hub city was huge in terms of detail, I played through the game numerous times finding extra story details everywhere in the city. For example, (Spoilers if needed) in DXHR you can save Malik from the ambush if your fast enough (if I remember from your video Son you did not do). Well, at one of the night sections in the city, you can go back home and make a bowl of Jensen's favorite cereal, in the box there is a toy and a note from Malik, canonizing her survival from the ambush in the world. These small details that some may never see or take several playthroughs to find are what makes this game great.

[@asdfssdfghgdfy5940]

One thing that irked me about the hub city was that the side quests needed me to travel between the two areas a bit too frequently.

[@DJWeapon8]

Mankind Divided honestly felt like Act I in a three act story. Act I being just how helpless and lost the world is. Reflected in gameplay and the story by the plot going everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Marchenko being the only "boss" in the entire game reinforces this point. Ideally for me, they should've made the side mission for Helle/Eliza part of the main story. Only introducing her again *_after_* the Apex Centre incident. From there, Eliza would be instrumental in helping Adam in getting closer to finding the Illuminati. I mean come on. What's a more apt way to refocus and help move along the plot in a Deus Ex game by re introducing a literal deus ex machina?

[@Redem10]

THere's a pretty big paradox with it MD, it upgrade a lot of things from HR, but at the same time it feel like it shrank a lot of thing, I think they have had a mandate to make Deus Ex more episodic (a la hitman) so they could make more sequels

[@mechinate]

Right here, the king of gaming retrospectives. Right up there with Salt Factory, Tehsnakerer, Avalanche Reviews etc. but just killing it with the prolificacy. Well done mijo favorido 😁

[@bananasean5145]

This is one of the few games I replay so much I literally create my own challenges cus the game isn't challenging enough. I don't like Hardest difficulties just being hard mode but you can't die. I needed more challenge so I make up my own rules like only having 2 Augs and 1 weapon.

[@d4rthremes]

Miller's head around the 42:00 minute mark looks HILARIOUSLY HUGE. Like he's wearing a mask of his own face. Anyone else notice that?

[@Hecatom]

Leaving aside the story, Mankind Divided is one of my favs in the series.

[@iamantieverything87]

This and Human Revolution are great games gameplay wise and even environmentally very well built. But the central conceit has never made sense. Why would there be this mass distrust of augmented people on an invdidual level? The corporations behind augments, sure. But as far as the concept, its essentially as if people with prosthetic limbs were suddenly the most persecuted and divisive group in the world. Resented by some for superpowers? I can understand. But the way its portrayed as an overt bigotry makes no sense. Its like the writers had no understanding of the actual historical/social basis of true discrimination or persercution

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Agreed

[@SimonStrange]

Complaining about the middle part of a trilogy feeling like the middle part of a trilogy is beyond stupid. That's like saying, "DURR WHY DIDN'T LUKE KILL DARTH VADER IN EMPIRE STRIKES BACK???" Thankfully, Eidos is going to cap off the trilogy without Square ruining it.

[@dmitrikulkevicius9161]

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the only game where I can finish without killing anyone. And the previous one I finished without killing anyone (bosses do not count)

[@georgkeller3225]

For real this game has the most fun and coolest sidequests ive ever played. I would put them over witcher 3

[@rukathekid7853]

This was my first Deus Ex I was aware of the series and the lore for a very long time, without being too familiar with it at the same time As such, I more or less took everything about Mankind Divided at face value and had no baggage from previous games... Because of this, I loved it! After the abysmal launch of Cyberpunk, this really filled a niche... However, even I was taken aback by the ending and how sudden it was I love the game, but yeah, the story was not as developed as it should have been

[@iAmPimmiCue]

I still need to go back and finish this game, I remember liking what I played

[@ordinaryadonis8711]

Maybe it was the lackluster story that caused me to feel this way, but I just remember finishing this one and feeling like it was really short and not nearly as “open” or expansive as I thought it would be. Had fun playing, but it wasn’t anything really memorable.

[@eppinizer]

Thanks again for the Sunday morning uploads. I swear I am developing a pavlovian response to start cleaning my house when I hear your voice since these often release as I'm doing my Sunday housekeeping.

[@dilloncooper600]

Gingy has a KZbin video that goes through the story of the whole series, including some of the extra/spinoff content like Deus Ex: The Fall. It's called 'The COMPLETE Deus Ex Series Story Retrospective'

[@slowerthinker]

In Deus Ex the augmented are very very few in number. The technology is top secret cutting edge military hardware. Outside of UNATCO and MJ12 there are maybe 2 augs in the whole game. However in the prequels every Tom, Dick & Harry from slum gang members and seggs workers to migrant wage slaves have spent their life savings to chop off their limbs and get metal ones instead for no logical reason whatsoever. Whilst fun to play these two games don't appear to fit into the Deus Ex world at all.

[@Voltanaut]

DXMD is the kind of game that proves great gameplays and worlds are more important than story in a video game. Everyone loves GTA bcuz of how much you can piss around, and the same applies to DX. I personally don't care about main quests in games. I only care about the world, game play, and side quests. That's where the real fun and experimentation takes place. EDIT: also, weird, I'm watching this on August 23, the anniversary of the game's release in 2016. What a coincidence.

[@ivandesiigner]

This is my favorite game of all time but at the same time i hate it, i love the ambiance, the gameplay, the music, especially the levels, but i hate the fact that Square Enix cut the game short to try to get more money with a sequel and then just leaving us hanging and wanting to know more about how the journey of Jensen ends, they just decided to put it in a vault and forget about it, i pray that the new owner of the IP decides to make a new Deus Ex game following Adam Jensen story maybe giving it a proper ending. I want to know where it all goes in this universe :c

i think mankind divided DOES give you the good cyberpunk and conspiracy stuff that the games are know for, just not until nearly enough and it really suffers from needing a next one, GODS i hope there is a next one with Adam...

[@Choteron3]

Eidos Montreal one of the most underated devs in gaming industry. Loved Mankind Divided. The city hub of Prague like you said is brillant. So glad that they are working on another deus ex (according to jpurnalist Schteier) Great review!

[@gustaveardila6286]

MD is the better of the two games overall in my experience. With embracer group having purchased the rights to the franchise I have high hopes for the future.

[@charleshorseman55]

37:33 it's the [Only] one because it's special. It makes as much sense as you give credit towards the concept of a future security concept requiring a "plug-in". It has gravitas on it's own, and is cool, although not as cool as something like Portal by valve. Having this reappear again would reduce the value of the initial puzzle.

[@DJWeapon8]

Agreed. And its not like it took a ton of resources to make that Breach segment of NSN and therefore wasted potential. Even if we gut out the Breach Mode multiplayer, the NSN's difference is some models and textures for walls and boxes. There's no new mechanics that are unique to that segment and the mechanics that are there you would've already been using hours before. Stacking boxes to create elevated platforms. Remote Hacking to disable cameras. Or in this case obscure their view.

[@VladfishTheMagnificent]

I enjoyed Mankind Divided (until it began irreparably crashing on my new gaming laptop!), though Human Revolution is definitely better. Apparently, there is a new Deus Ex game in a very early stage of development, so the series will continue. Really hoping they'll do justice to the Adam Jensen character!

[@OmniscientSloth]

Another great video! I’d love to see a Deus Ex remake and maybe new games as a continuation of the original Deus Ex

[@SolidSnake240]

Love this game but there was so much missed potential.

[@Damingo54]

Love Adam Jensen as a character

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Great character

[@deamon002]

The game itself was fun, but the story really started to grind my gears as it went on. I'm the sort that detests being told what to think, especially if it's done through anvillicious symbolism and obvious attempts at emotional manipulation. One thing you didn't mention is that the PC version seems to be have been crafted entirely of suck and fail. Multiple times I've had the game be stuck on the loading screen forever, usually after a big story mission (e.g. right after Golem City). The only way to fix it is, not making this up, to load a save just before the bugged loading screen, open Task Manager, turn off half your processor cores (so if you got a quad core, set it to run on two cores only) and then, with the fps in the single digits, finish the section. God only knows how someone managed to figure that one out. I also really don't like the type of game design where sections of the game or worse, getting a good ending is locked behind easily missed side missions that become unavailable once you get beyond a certain point with no indication that you just screwed yourself over, but I realize some people like that kind of replayability. Personally, I don't see the fun in going through the same 95% of the game that I've already done, just to see the 5% that the game intentionally blocked me from seeing the first time.

[@ratamahatta5306]

Yes, it's 2023 and th pc porta is still a mess, i have pretty beefy rig but still it can't go without crashing every 30 minutes, trying evwry fixes on various forum, doesnt help one bit, i end up just playing it on ps4

[@Nachosbroheem]

Having recently played through this game AND having recently stumbled on your channel (absolutely adored your Max Payne retrospective), this is a treat. Going to watch later this evening as I settle in for bed. You're quickly becoming one of my favourite long-form youtubers mate.

[@theonlybilge]

Before you tackle the behemoth of the Metal Gear franchise, you should try the Batman Arkham series.

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Thought about it

[@theonlybilge]

@@YourFavoriteSon1 Pog The steam version of Knight doesn't have Denuvo, they just haven't updated the page. Also, if you play the PC versions, I recommend that you use the advanced launchers and the community patches. It might go a bit against the idea of the videos but the improvements are really nice. It might also be good if you show and compare the differences between the available steam releases and the "Return to Arkham" collection, which is console exclusive.

[@agentooe33AD]

Also, they did Malik dirty by not putting her in this game. Her and Jensen have great chemistry (possibly romantic), and she was a great sidekick in HR. And yeah, I think this was the Matrix Reloaded game. No satisfying end, and some disjointed plot lines. Overall I like the game, but they could have done better. I'm hoping that now that Square Enix no longer owns the franchise, maybe we'll get another one in the near future that will do the series justice.

[@iAmPimmiCue]

From what I'd heard, the game was cut up to be sold as different games and we got 1/3rd of the game. Unsure how true that is, but it's Square Enix, so it probably is

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

That seems to be the case

[@PunchMcLightning]

I've played this game over 7 times. I love this game. I think the story is amazing. The story is like xmen just replace mutants with augmented. The music is perfect, I know this city like that back of my hand. I have to have a sequel. Not sure it will happen tho.

[@VladfishTheMagnificent]

Anyone else have this problem? So I bought a new laptop last year and was eager to run DX:MD on it. Installed smoothly and ran well until the intro sequence after Jensen arrives in Prague...then crashed. Every. Single. Time. I tried every remedy I could think of, all to no avail. To this day, I have been unable to run it on the new laptop.

[@CatalystOfFire]

Jean Francois is such a troll. Look at that One Direction shirt he's got on at 5:45. Unreal. You can't have ears and wear that shirt at the same time!

[@sessione2]

Great video, but I don't agree with the corny definition of the segregation aspect of the game. They did well treating a so sensitive argument (heavy discrimination) in a fantasy world without being afraid of the public repercussions. While you travel in the game world and in Prague and Golem you can breathe the terror in the air, the fear, the insecurity. I can't think of a game that gave me this feeling better. If the first game gave the sense of the fear of the impending future, here the fear is for the present. To each their own, for sure. But in my opinion DXMD is superior in terms of plot and world to DXHR. They are still great games. Sadly the story of the second one will never see an ending because square was a greedy pig at that time.

[@gourkernow5694]

I always intend to try and play the game through without killing anyone but hackng security terminals and turning friendly fire on is too much fun. Carrying a turret around with you and attracting guards to it while you hide and watch as it tracks and kills everything in front of you is so crafty and cowardly but so much fun. 😂

[@ShootingStar1313]

Damn, marketing really dropped the ball with those "aug lives matter" ads. Then came the myriad of pre-order offerings, turning a surefire launch into a disastrous one. 💣

[@DarkRonnie]

according to industry rumores, the game was suppose to be much longer but SE demanded they cut it up so the Jensen games could be a trilogy...and then killed the planed 3rd game after that...

[@MrRagemanPL]

I wish I was able to finish the new Dues Ex games. Human Revolution made me rage quit and uninstall at the second boss battle and Mankind Divided was crashing so often on PC that I gave up on it.

I'm surprised you didn't touch on this aspect of the story that bothers me, in fact, no reviewer has really. The 'augism' thing. The theming, to me at least, would make so much more sense if it was the other way around. That the people who kept their body aug free would be discriminated against. You're telling me the people in power never got augs? I know that some of the powerless got them due to their jobs, or maybe they bought them on credit card, but it wasn't like they were handing out expensive surgery and dermal implants at McDonalds. Did everyone in power with augs get ousted? It's never really touched upon.

Previously, naturals were the ones who were discriminated. Most decent paying companies were only looking to hire augmented workers. The aug incident changed that.

Someone with the name “YourFavoriteSon” just got a shoutout from King Cobra for donating to him. Was that you? 😅 that would be the weirdest crossover I’ve had in awhile.

Loved this game, hopefully embracer let's eidos make the final entry.

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Hopefully soon

[@SolidSnake240]

I'd rather a diff studio developed the game than Eidos. I loved MD and HR but not the biggest fan of how they handled combat among other things (melee especially) if they do make the next one hopefully they change the way it works.

I never mistrusted Miller. I always trusted him.
