Deus Ex Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Pre-Release Thread

[Zewp]

Meh, who cares about a few hours?

Roughly 16 - 18 hours depending on where you live. It's just a real slap in the face considering there's no good reason why it shouldn't release at midnight on Steam.

 

[ArchAngel]

It's like ~35% off right now if you buy from GMG, thanks to crappy GBP exchange rate (30 GBP -> 39 USD). If you're gonna d1p, may as well do it through them...

How dare you use sites with sales on games! You should buy it full price, or else you are screwing the developer! Think of how much money they could have made if you bought it full price... why are you buying it on sale? :D

Codex needs to invent another tag just for your, that

is not enough.

Didn't you have a dumbfuck tag not long ago? Just askin'...

No it was "possibly retarded"

Oh, my bad.

I got reformed.
Learned to be The One with the Codex

 

[Somberlain]

Why pre-order a game, period. The Codex is meant to aware of bad practice when dealing with the industry.

Because many Codexers, despite pretenses of prestige and enlightenment, are impatient manchildren who want the newest, hottest AAA blockbuster games with their useless pre-order bonuses the second they are released. Even though so many of these games are broken at launch and you need to wait for a few days or weeks for them to get fixed anyway.

 

[Zewp]

Because Steam now offers no-quoestions-asked refunds, making the broken at release argument redundant? It sends a more powerful message to the developer/publisher when they can see precisely how many people wanted their money back for hot trash.

Except for people like Daedalos who bought from cdkeys.com, of course.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Because some bonus mission was part of pre-ordering. As simple as that.

 

[Drakortha]

avoid the steam forums, ending spoilers are in thread titles.

That is a worse reason. You are rewarding them for their shady and greedy practices. I for one would instantly rather pirate anyone that does stuff like that unless preorder bonuses are only cosmetic.

 

[Ash]

Decline enabling exemplified, that is.

 

[Urbanolo]

New Deus Ex ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Zewp]

Kill me now. I'll probably cancel my preorder. Will wait until tomorrow morning and see what people say about it.

 

[Infinitron]

Human Revolution had that kind of DLC too, everybody's just forgotten about it.

 

[SwiftCrack]

I just remember the same 5000 credits and extra praxis kits at its release with the HR DLC, not these individual packs.

What interface is that anyway, Xboner/PS4? It's not on Steam like that.

 

[Zewp]

Human Revolution had that kind of DLC too, everybody's just forgotten about it.

In the form of a once-off DLC that gave you credits and two weapons, yes. Not several microtransactions giving you weapons, money and praxis kits.

Are those microtransactions? That looks like the DLC storefront of a console. ("Apps", "Movies & TV")

Reminds me of this:

 

[Zewp]

No idea as I don't own either console, but does it matter where they're sold? The impact is roughly the same. Virtual goods for micropayments is never a good sign.

I guess I assumed microtransactions are something you can only buy inside a game (but I might be wrong).

More to the point, we still haven't seen any official announcement of the main game having microtransactions, only the Breach mode. Like I said earlier, it would be extremely unusual if they went "lol actually the entire game has microtransactions" on release day. That's not something you hide unless you want a PR nightmare from hell.

 

[toro]

Fuck this. I will wait for the Goty/Complete version.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Got my physical PC copy, won't unlock until 2am Wednesday local time. Bwahaha. Other games have unlocked before their stated steam time when devs decided to flip the switch early, but this doesn't look like it's going to be one of them.

In the form of a once-off DLC that gave you credits and two weapons, yes. Not several microtransactions giving you weapons, money and praxis kits.

It was worse than that, the automatic unlocking devices and (IIRC) remote explosive charges weren't in the game unless you had those packs. Definitely the AUDs at minimum.

 

[Echo Mirage]

Here is the first 8 hours of the game if anyone wants to see more. But be warned the guy also has the ending up on his channel.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Gamestar review says, decisions have few real consequences ( http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/deus-ex-mankind-divided/wertung/52180.html ).
Seriously? Haven't they advertised the impact of the decisions all the time?!

First twenty minutes of this be like

 

[abnaxus]

Can you still beat up whores like in the first game?

 

[Ash]

At least the grid inventory is still in. I found that odd in HR too, as it is the only "hardcore" feature/aspect of the game's design (combined with the need to manage it + scavenge ammo), among the usual AAA trappings.

 

[Coma White]

Also is it my imagination, or does the lip syncing seem vastly improved from previous footage? Watching the sequence with Jensen and that hacker lady at the train station -- I could have sworn it looked WAY worse in the older footage.
