Strange, i didn't encoutar that bug...another proof that pirates get the better deal. Still the last level was the best in the game. The finale is my favourite part,you beat the terrorists in 10 minutes and then you spend 20 minutes in front of a door,drinking tea with rum waiting for a room filled with rich liberal cucks and soyboys to experience painful retribution from the minority that they so vigorously protect from any criticism. The best part of the game! I was sooooo happy when i got the "bad ending" that i wanted to chose but the idiot writers didn't give you any dialogue choices,yet the game mechanics did give me the choice of killing every augmented person that i can find.So...I trudge through this shit for game...get to M7 I believe (Confronting Talos Rucker). I make to to the final elevator...step off...and fall through the geometry.
I research a bit...it's been a bug for 2 years they haven't fixed. Game Stopping Bug. On All Platforms.
Yeah, fuck this shit. Glad it was free. Uninstalled.

Bad news, men.
Did a little more research on this bug. Some said backtracking from "previous auto save" back to the market and sell a few things and take a different route back.
So, since I just had my internet speed updated, downloaded again.
The alternate route I took was using the elevator in the market vs. the backroom door.
I was too lazy to stealth it all again so I just runned and gunned.
Got to lvl 7 elevator...road to top and...the hallway was now rendered.
Oh, the bad news, I feel I must finish it now.

Watch Jonathan Jacques-Belletête (Executive Art Director), Mary DeMarle (Executive Narrative Director) and Jean-François Dugas (Executive Game Director) ramble about the Icarus Myth and its significance in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
That's not even the worst thing the art direction is guilty of. That would be the character clothes/armors, which are overdesigned to the point of absurdity. Everyone's outfit has a thousand little add-ons, trinkets, baubles and flourishes. Everyone and their mother can afford cutting edge, sleek-looking augmentations, even if they're middle class or bums living on the street (the original Deus Ex took place in the future and only had a handful of augmented NPC's). And their obsession with the triangle motif. Triangles, triangle everywhere. The developers clearly went to the Square school of character design (unsurprising, considering it was their publisher).The thing that bothers me with Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divident is Art Direction... Wtf they were thinking? From all colors YELLOW is your main color in Cyberpunk setting? Immersion breaking.... It just dont work, and doesnt feel right.
Civilians are cool bu when it is about professions that practicality is the line between life and death,not really. I do like the renaissance kind of clothing.But it is cool.
iirc that model is also used a security guard...
China != Europe.
This model is used for security guards and regular police on the streets (not MJ12 troops) in Paris. This one happens to hold a shotgun, but there are others who are empty handed. It's just hard to find good screenshots. Here is one from Revision.
This is a riot cop in NYC under martial law.
In fairness, this is set in Europe and Europe was taken over by MJ12 by the time of Deus Ex with robocop-style military hardware and guys in gear fairly similar to that and heavier walking the streets of Paris, so I don't find it that far fetched.
guys in gear fairly similar
MJ12 didn't take over Europe (how could they, they're a covert group), they were dispatched to Paris on a mission to take out resistance groups like Silhouette and to hunt JC. They didn't replace law enforcement.this is set in Europe and Europe was taken over by MJ12 by the time of Deus Ex with robocop-style military hardware
They also have a much lower resolution and level of detail. Getting really anal at his point. I didn't like the art direction much either, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that the MJ12 commando was any less extravagant than the riot cop. In fact, the same design by today's artists would probably be even more extravagant.The MJ12 troops are outfitted practically and soberly, they don't have hundreds of random pieces of colored fabrics, pouches and triangle prints plastered over their armor, or one shoulder pad that's in a different color than the other one for some reason.
MJ12 Commando's were at first a mechanically augmented riot cop named "Megatech", before this design changed. This was changed to Majestic 12 soldier instead of a cop and his mechanical augmentation were completely redesigned to be power armor with a regular human inside instead of a mechanically augmented person.
- The use of power armor (EXO-suits) by riot cops is used in Mankind Divided by Prague Police forces.
So do the MJ12 commandos and the NSF. I do get what you're saying and agree with you to a degree though.The clothing, armor and weapon designs in HR and MD don't just look too futuristic for the era, they also look goofy and impractical.
Because you're pointing out that there are heavily armed, advanced, military-like soldiers on the street and complaining that it's not more similar to present day police presences. I'm saying that, in the Deus Ex world, Europe clearly was fast tracked toward that level of military and police presence compared to America, as MJ12 was there completely in the open in Paris, operating as a sanctioned security force. That sort of thing usually doesn't happen over night.I don't know why you would think that's relevant since MD takes place 30-40 years before the original Deus Ex.
Acknowledged. Wrong phrasing on my part.MJ12 didn't take over Europe (how could they, they're a covert group), they were dispatched to Paris on a mission to take out resistance groups like Silhouette and to hunt JC. They didn't replace law enforcement.
By 2035, Majestic 12 has taken control of the political, financial, military, and religious arms of the Illuminati. They become the de facto rulers of Europe and Asia. It is decided that the United States will be the first nation to fall before them.
MJ12 has a significant amount of power in France, to the extent that they can operate openly in Paris. They operate under the guise of a "security organization" associated with Page Industries that will work closely with local and national authorities to keep the peace.[15] Paris, like the US, is placed under martial law presumably through the work of Majestic 12.
So they basically rule Europe and operate openly. Not saying they are openly ruling Europe.Bob Page: Intimidation through violence is the last resort of the weak... these groups are composed of nothing but frustrated, gullible individuals. We have a very effective security organization that will be working with both local and national authorities to minimize whatever potential for actual harm they present.
Mainly as far as technological level is concerned really. Way too much focus on augs and proliferation of augmentation. Deus Ex conspiracy plot largely eschewed for lame racism allegory. They did at least try to tie it in somewhat. Agenda acknowledged though.HR basically rebooted the entire Deus Ex setting.
