So Deus Ex: Mankind Divided |OT| Man kinda divided

is locked right? Especially given the reviews the game got.

I mean review wise there's not much of a divide considering most reviewers had a positive opinion of it ... But if people want that to be the title I can make it that. I was going to go with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided |OT| We Asked For This, but it is pretty similar to the title of this thread.

6h later it would've been a 24th release.

Remember when SE tried to pull the pre-order tier shit where the game unlocked early at a certain number of pre-orders?

Huh.

This is clearly the punishment for our revolt ...

 

[Tovarisc]

Thanks. That leaves "Jensen Story: Desperate Measures", "Extras Content (Soundtrack and Artbook)" and "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Season Pass" I guess ...

"Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Season Pass" won't do anything by itself, right?

At release unlikely, but it does contain credits and praxis kits. If you want play it super safe and not risk getting those items disable Pass too.

Hopefully not. There certainly is a consistent theme in the reviews regarding the story, but a Metacritic score of 85 tells me reviewers generally liked the game overall. Not really what I'd call 'mixed reviews'.

 

[MasterMenace]

Just got spoiled in the official steam forums, fucking lovely.

lol

 

[idonteven]

It's the same difficulty as Give me Deus Ex but with permanent death.

i want the trophy

Yeah, I just disabled it. No one is going to rob me of my 10 minute quick save dependent terminal hacks in the beginning of the game!*

*and the related 60 hour playtime

 

[Tovarisc]

lol

You lol now, but after 12AM CEST you want abandon possible OT that is up on GAF. Console bros will be posting spoilers with and without tags.

 

[MasterMenace]

So can we get some impressions on Breach? A lot of reviews are mixed on this mode. I saw the trailer and it looked cool, but I saw that there were microtransactions. Are the microtransactions imposing/in your face? Also, how long is the pre-order mission?

 

[Norci7]

Me too, unfuckingbelievable...

 

[paperspace]

12 hours later on Steam than Xbox One.

Well ain't that some shit.

18 hours later here. :/

 

[SJRB]

Does anyone have access to their Day 1 stuff yet? I still can't find anything anywhere on the Sqenix site.

I want that soundtrack sampler, damnit!

Game isn't out, ~5h from now it will be. Expect codes etc. then.

 

[packy34]

noon on the 23rd?

Yes.

I haven't played Breach much outside of three missions as for the pre order mission, it isn't up yet.

They better fucking not

They better fucking not

It happens with every game. People post stuff without thinking or just don't see it as spoiler. "It's only side quest, chill!", "Only 3h into story!" etc.

How do you disable the DLC that you don't want? Is it as simple as unchecking the boxes in the steam window? I've already downloaded all of them --- do I need to uninstall and re-download with only select boxes checked or will it work to just uncheck the undesired boxes after they've all been downloaded?

It should be enough to unclick as far as I know

Nah, either go with your original title or go with something else.

I'm throwing out there Deus Ex: Mankind Divided |OT| Can't Kill Progress just because it seems like a worthy follow up to Human Revolution given the GAF impressions and reviews.

 

[benzopil]

So for the platinum trophy I should finish the game with permadeath?

I Never Asked For This
You completed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided™ on the highest possible difficulty. Hats off.

Unchecking boxes should get job done, yes.

I can remember this BS with MGS and The Witcher, not that MGS had much story to spoil

You can just uncheck, and it will handle things automatically.

I'm not sure what each pack contains exactly so I'll just leave them be and delete the cheats/bonuses manually in-game. Buy something for the extra credits and remove it.

It's very easy to do if you do it on NG+, if you explored a lot in your first playthrough.

Basically you retain ALL weapons and ALL augs, plus you get some praxis points too so by very quickly into NG+ you'l have all augs unlocked and you can just blaze past the levels avoiding everything and bypassing entire sections with abilities like high jump, Icarus dash and invisiblity + silence. It took me 8 hours at first to get to Golem City, in NG+ I went there in about an hour and I would have gotten there even quicker if I had pretty much avoided every side quest.

 

[MasterMenace]

"Classic Gear" pack gives few weapons and such AND coat + combat armor from HR.

No, please no. We didn't ask for this. ~85 is a long way from "divided".

Yeah I'd stick with your original or something else. Don't really see too much in the way of divided opinions on this game (at least not yet).

 

[BaraSailey]

That's a pretty good one too! I'll have to think about which one to use. Any other suggestions are also welcome!

 

[NeonBlack]

Wait this unlocks at noon tomorrow on PC? Life is cruel

 

[Simo]

I can't wait for the OT though. Your Uncharted 4 ones were excellent!

Saw this from Reddit...da fuq Square?

If noon for you is 22 hours from now, then yes.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided |OT| Did we asked for this?

I think some one suggested the same before.

 

[SJRB]

Yeah, no. I just got my mail with codes and download links to the OST sampler and Digital Book bundle.

The OST sampler is pretty disappointing. It has the Main Menu theme, Opening Credits theme, Adam's Safehouse theme and a collection of trailer tracks. That's all. 55 mb.

The Digital Book collection has a comic, a novelle and an artbook. 230 mb.

Mind spoiling a few achievements for me?

Is the Antidote for Miller something easy to miss?

also this

[badcrumble]

Saw this from Reddit...da fuq Square?

honestly that's more stupid than annoying, given that these games throw more money and experience at you than you need if you do any exploring whatsoever. really, these are just purchasable cheat codes - DLC you can totally ignore is the best kind.

I'm more annoyed about DLC missions and the possibility of a coda/'real ending' being paid DLC (if it's true that the default ending is sort of unsatisfying).

Thoughts on the digital book collection? Meaty or no?

Yea I know it's more stupid than annoying. All of it is completely pointless. Who the hell buys this stuff anyway is the real question.

 

[Lima]

You bitches need to watch ItsGWC's review. He only review that matters. Hen you will understand the title.

 

[Randdalf]

Urgh, that sucks. Why can't they just release it at midnight, there's literally no plausible reason I can think of that they wouldn't.

edit: Well that Twitter post with the launch dates isn't exactly getting a ... warm response.

Augment your post-order

 

[Tovarisc]

I guess he just said to Square that he isn't about to change his stream times for MD release even if they want pay for his time. Having as large audience as he has gives him a lot weight so resulted in special permissions.

I guess.

They always are. Ah well.

I wonder how I'm supposed to get that stuff with my PS4 digital deluxe copy?

 

[Acorn]
