We didn't deserve Deus Ex Mankind Divided

[@soulpud1]

Producer of the game here. Your video just popped in my feed, made my day. I can confirm that we had a team of talented and dedicated devs who cared deeply about creating an immersive and rewarding experience for our players. We knew we had something special in our hands when the Palisade bank was staking shape. I had many arguments with our game director about the fact that one of the best levels we’ve ever produced was optional, off the critical path. His answer was always something along the lines of “that’s what Deus Ex is all about”. Knowing that many players will miss the content, but those that do find it will have an unforgettable experience Lots of hard work and years of our lives went into this game, always great to see videos like this appear years after the game was released. Love the jacket analogy!

this is the case with like any game that take that approach devs need to understand that we don't need a game where we grind for 1000 hour another good example would be the yakuza games you play in a very small street blocks but the amount of rich side content is crazy

funny thing is that games back in the 2000 era were exactly like this. it was commonplace for games to have elements that mankind divided has in it. the technology wasnt as forgiving back then so they had to think tall instead of wide. games were designed with density and worldbuilding in mind. assassins creed valhallas werent commonplace back then.

All of those points are moot, it's jim stephanie sterling and other youtuber hacks looking for clicks who made it a big deal, which influences the public perception. The preorder thing was canceled, both that and the microtransaction were meddling by the publisher SquareEnix, and the game still turned out good. I have never bought microtransactions even after beating the game 4 times, it was never shoehorned or pops up as a suggestion anywhere during gameplay. You easily get 50hrs+ gameplay if you do all the side quests, dlcs, and spend time finding all the secrets, that's a full game. You killed the bad guy in the end, yes there is more to story, no doubt again SquareEnix's idea as that's their approach FFVII remake, but it definitely isn't an unfinished game, so I'm defending the developers.

Nothing will beat the OG Deus Ex IMO. I wish it they would remake it with todays UE5 graphics and animations but everything otherwise left the same. Maybe some more fleshed out areas and such. That game was so special because it was unique with it's story. That conspiracy unfolding was so cool the locations you went to. It's one of my top games of all times. I played it back when it first came out. Funnily I stopped playing at first because the Statue of Liberty intro wasn't actually a good mission. But as soon as you got to the UNATCO HQ and started to see some of the conspiracy and when eaves dropping on that holo-meeting it piqued my interest and it became so cool. All the different conspiracy factions. The music was iconic to. I also actually preferred Deus Ex Human revolution over Mankind divided. Mostly because I wasn't into the old world Europe setting and the game didn't have an ending. It just stopped on the first mid-boss kind of deal. Like they ran out of money. I know they wanted a part 2. But that is really bad move to make when you don't know how well a game sells and also if you don't have a proper ending, people are less likely to buy it. So it's a catch 22.

I actually loved this game. The game mechanics made a supposedly weak story irrelevant. The actual “game” part was fun. There was plenty of hidden stuff that reinforced the story but if you just shoot strait through the game you’ll miss it. I never played previous Deus Ex games so for me there was nothing to compare it to and so i thought it was great. I think I’m going to go play it again. Thx for reminding me.

You appreciate something when you lose it.... How much it depicts Deus Ex .....

While I think that this is a fantastic video with very valid points I am amazed that so many people here are so satisfied with DE:MD… as a long time fan of the series I was incredibly disappointed in the story of mankind divided and the horribly lazy and shortcut ending with so many threads left unanswered. I felt robbed and cheated by getting an incomplete game. I didn’t see the final level coming, didn’t see it as a climax - I felt like there was so much more that needed to be told in the story and ultimately as it’s such an important element in the series, that’s what I played it for. Deus ex was one of my favorite series and they broke my heart with mankind divided.

A comment on the suit jacket liner, you're actually way off from the reality of the situation. Since you're into a bit of deep dives, my partner was a part time seamstress for several years to earn some extra money on the side so I have a bit of insight here. Jacket liners aren't put there because someone wanted a really cool easter egg that only you ever really get to see, they're actually most often put there to cover up extra material and rough looking seams associated with tailoring work. That or it's just to cover up quick and shoddy seams that you most often see if the suit is mass manufactured (cheaply produced). I would note that cheaply produced does not mean inexpensive to the consumer. Suit jackets are almost always made of material that makes them too warm to wear all day comfortably if they have a full liner, so most suits are only quarter lined (meaning they are lined only in the shoulders and neck area) because that is where most suit alterations are made. Some suit styles, like seersucker (thin stripes) will be half lined leaving only the lower back unlined so that they can make adjustments to the jacket to ensure that the stripe lines curve around the body correctly to give the nice visual effect. Without proper pinning the lines can accidentally turn into a contour map of the wearer's body, especially if they're a bit portly. As to the material choice...well to be honest most of the time the liner is whatever inexpensive silk you can find. For quarter lined jackets it's almost always black silk, but for half and full...well all bets are off. I swear there must be a secret contest among suit makers for picking the most gaudy fabrics imaginable when for suit linings, even at the upper echelons. The red and yellow fish scale pattern you presented looks like it belongs on a vest worn by the dealer at a Black Jack table in 1950's Vegas. So yeah, suit liners aren't a secret message from the maker to you, they're a big piece of masking tape to keep you from seeing how the sausage is made.

Haha. Thank you for that absurdly long explanation :)

One of my fav games. The music, the art style, the exploration, and the city hub of prague are superb. Also i love that this game respect your time with 0 fetch quests. Eidos montreal is one of the most underated singleplayer dev studios. Almost all of their titles are bangers. Is sad that we wont see another deus ex soon. I really hate embracer group.

square enix ruined it with their weird monetization schemes and so i steered clear of it
