Trace, Tovarisc, you both completely missed the point of my post, but that's okay, I did not expected anything else anyway.

Sweet, thanks! I was planning on picking up the book but was just curious if the novella was its' on separate thing from it. I wish they would've released the book earlier since it's a prequel to the game.
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.
This is the hashtag used for the game's marketing, but I still like it a lot.
What novella are you guys talking about? Got a link? I'm aware of Deus Ex: Black Light out tomorrow, but never heard of Hard Line.

Augmented my pre-order and now we wait for augmentation of post-order.
What do we actually get in the various packs? I'd rather not have a bunch of OP shit right from the beginning of the game so I might uncheck a few of these boxes.
If you're not "willing to play the game", don't play it. Simple as that. Don't need to get in your little side comments.

It comes with the preorder/day one edition of the game. It's a digital download.

1 More day, then an hour wait after work and probably another 40 mins unpacking the pre-load when released. Goddamnit sucks that they chosen that time tmoz.
Then you uncheck everything, even season pass :b
Thousand credits, a single praxis, couple of guns and some ammo/grenades. Also there seems to be a convenient tool for people who don't really want those items/don't want them all. After you download the DLC, there's a "STORAGE" sub-menu in your inventory. You can extract the DLC items from it anytime. I think it's a smart way to deal with potential OP and balance-breaking items.

LIRIK playing on a TitanX getting 50-60fps
dammit
not on console
Just finished the main story, took me a good 30 hours with (nearly?) every sidequest.
The ending IS a bit abrupt, but in no bad way. I don't have a incomplete feeling. The story of Mankind Divided was told and is complete. There are some open questions but i think they're just covering all their bases for possible sequels this time since they seem to have been caught off guard when they wanted to continue Adam's story but basically wrapped up everything in Human Revolution.
Last level:
I, for one, loooved the story. It's interesting, thrilling and the more complex side missions (Jim Sterling's "L.A. Noire" comment kind of hits the nail on the head) are awesome. The player agency is way better,
Adam's even more boss than before, possibly because he's more than Sarif's pet dog this time, making more decisions for himself (aka choice of the player)
For me better in nearly every aspect than Human Revolution. It's a very matured game design. Great stuff and i'm really excited for NG+.
Also first time ever i completed a game before the official release date
And i also got a new favourite DE-theme: TF29 HQ is a perfect mix of old and new DE-style. I could listen hours to this.

wow, that was really really, but i managed to take him down without killing him.

there are some decisions you have to take over the course of the story, that are really, really hard.

did I miss something about framerate issues?

Thanks for the list!
And thank you for that bit of info as well. I think I'll dump everything into storage and see how it goes.
People seem to misunderstand that when you set everything to Max sometimes you don't get 60FPS unless you have really good hardware. Overall we don't really know what the sort of average FPS is until more people with varied configs have gotten the PC release.
You mean the previous gen Titan X? The game looks absolutely beautiful on stream and with SLI support and drivers (which nvidia released) I can't imagine it be horrible. Remember he still using the Win10 An. Edition Drivers and not the Game Ready ones for Deus Ex.
No problem.
ah so the thing where if you drop one setting down to like medium and you go from 48 fps to like 80? And there is no surmisable difference in image quality, etc.?

LIRIK has sli titanx and was having issues with sli. Now he is running single titanx and getting between 50-60 fps and he had to turn some stuff down even. He is streaming here just to see what it looks like if you want. His PC setup is also there at the bottom

Going from Very High to Ultra tanks the framerate. Therefore, the game is literally unplayable and the devs should be ashamed.

That's the extra game mission, I believe. There's a novella included in the pre-order bonuses, along with an artbook, an OST sampler, and the in-game stuff.
Again, he also have old drivers and didnt even update for the game ready drivers for DE:MD which probably plays a part in that, especially if the drivers add SLI support for the game.
But then again if a developer allows you to go ULTRA and it kills even the trip 1080 setup, is that just bad optimization if it looks gorgeous or is it on you for trying to run it in the first place.
Perhaps a bit of both?
None the less the game looks amazing, but I wont take 1 guy streaming with old drivers and call the game shitty optimized and yell at the port. I'll try it for myself with the drivers, try SLI and see whats up.
at some point it doesnt matter what hardware you have when the specific graphic setting is so demanding
I'm guessing he has MSAA at 4 or 8x and just turning that down would get him to like 80 fps

So which settings are the big ones for dropping loads of frames, I know MSAA is taking its toll but I'm not sure what else.
I'll be playing this on a GTX 1080 so I'm hoping for a constant 60ish frames on high or on a mixture of settings.

He HAS latest drivers that NV has released and SLI does not work. itmeJP reported same thing.
Also last I checked he is running 8x MSAA @ 1440p.
That's the old Titan X, which was outclassed a while ago. Plus without any proper SLI support so it's just one old Titan X. I'd say he is doing very well getting 50-60.
Why would you run 8xMSAA
that shit is just unreasonable unless you can brute force it.Really? I'm sure i heard him say he didn't have them at the start of the stream.
Is it running bad for JP as well at ultra? 50-60? or just SLI not working?
Edit: I went back and re-listened, I am indeed wrong and he is using the game ready drivers. My bad.
Did you try to activate the optional goal as a map marker. I don't remember where his office was, but it shouldn't be hard to find as soon as you got the optional goal. I think somewhere in the basement of the little police department? Just try to follow the map marker
