fuckin hell
He only covers pc games, he still plays non-pc games. I remember journey being his goty a couple of years ago.
Tempted to do an avatar quote but I'll let it slide this time.
Though to be honest I seriously doubt he would give GOTY to Uncharted 4 or many other PS4/Xbone games even if he played them (which is likely). Just doesn't seem like he would like it.
welp.
Scores seem kind of low tbh
Is this a sarcastic post, or are you being serious?

"Story" is one thing in games that's always extremely subjective so I'm never bothered by complaints on that front in reviews.
Good scores overall. Seems to be a continuation of HR's strengths. I'm in baby. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

"Alright, but not amazing" was my optimistic outlook. So far that seems to be the case. Good enough for me to go ahead and pick it up

Lol what
I'm still not a fan of review threads. They mostly reinforce the obsession with scores which seems to serve as a comparison of superiority/inferiority to other games and as a singular assignment of quality. Games, films, music can be very non-homogeneous experiences and their averages don't mean much (beyond a certain point).
That said this about what I expected. An average score in the mid 80s.

Played for a few hours last night. I'll admit the new control scheme has been a bit confusing to get used to, but otherwise, super, super impressed and happy with this. Some reviews saying it's more of the same but better from the first one are right, but that's fantastic imo. We want more Dues Ex, not super fps shooter bro scifi action hunk game.

That's very weird. There have been report about a 770 getting ~35fps on Very High, and 380X getting ~50fps on High/Very High.

Looks like the Augmentation/discrimination analogy doesn't play as well as it could in theory and there's not a huge amount to shake up the formula or anything, but aside from that this is a really solid followup to Human Revolution.
That's 100% fine with me. Bring on the pre-load.

Never been a fan of these games stories.
I remember DX1 plot as a convoluted sci-fi slash conspiracy b-movie mess.
What worries me is the absence of more than one city hub and any eventual lack of contents and quest variety that can result from this.

PCGames: 85%
They are also talking about high sys requirements. They say, the main culprit for bad performance is probably the global illumination.

Deus Ex MD. was a game I had very high expectations for the dev to blow us away iterating massively on top of HR's amazing foundation .
Deep down I was thinking it'll get no less than 88-92 average.
Please tell me you're not serious.
That's in the actual game? Fuuuuuuuuck.
I was going to say, "Who gives a shit about the story?" because this game is about a holistic world to play around in but, uh, that's a bummer.

Looks solid to me. PC Performance and options looks promising as well.

People were expecting 10s in the preview threads.

Strange, the game doesn't even look that good.

Yup. Whilst I enjoyed the story in Deus Ex. What I loved the most is the atmosphere the game created with the incredible music, art direction etc. And this looks just as solid if not better in that department.
Yeah, that was never going to happen.
Update:
They kind of mixed things up after looking at the source code. They upscaled the 1080p PS4 picture to 4k for the comparison. The "FullHD Slider" moniker is false here.

edit: they are talking about good PS4 and X1 performance though.

This seems very off since a guy here on gaf with a 770 was getting pretty good framerates.
But there might just be some setting that is very demanding if you bump it up. Have to wait for more impressions.
Thats why I said ''At best''
But yeah, my expectation was very low from the start. Videogames and story eh...
They do seem a bit low, especially considering how the first game did. I was kind of expecting high 80's/low 90's.

So Jeff's review for GB painted it as a safe followup to HR. A little more polished, but not adding much for those who have already played HR. As someone who has never played HR, maybe I'll come away more impressed if I just jump into the series with Mankind Divided?
Hmm, the benchmark tool may be overly taxing so as to give an idea how the game performs in worst-case scenarios. Thi4f's is set up in such a way -- actual in-game performance is notably higher.

There is no way the PS4 version looks that bad... surely not. Actually the ground textures on PS4 are really horrible however everything else looks sharper to me.
That is my takeaway. In other words, it's a solid game. I like HR enough, but I am in no hurry to run out and buy this for $60. I can wait.
