Original Deus Ex is my GOAT. Human Revolution was damn good. Amazing visuals. Story wasn't as compelling in the end but had cool ideas.
Those are unashamedly bullshots though. Hype levels are real though.
Same here. It's a little difficult to reconcile how we get from Human Revolution / Mankind Divided to the original game in terms of story and how the world looks.
I'm not sure I like what's happening to the story with everyone and their dog getting augmentations, and humanity dividing into "Us vs Them", the augs and non-augs.. In the original game,
basically no-one even has augmentations. It's not a thing.
The only people in the original game with augs are you, Paul,
, Gunther, Anna, Sam Carter (kind of, not mentioned), and
at the end. Not even guys like Morgan Everett, a billionaire, have them. You come away feeling like even in 2052, this is a rare, special and highly restricted technology.
It loses something when so many people on the street have them I think. But anyway, that ship has sailed, that's the way the canon is headed now. Still super pumped and I hope they do a good job. Only a few things that desperately need fixing from HR.
