Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
« on: 24-08-2016, 05:08:24 »
So who here has gotten it?

I'm personally waiting to hear reviews (after I dropped 100 bucks on a pre-order for HOI IV, only to get so pissed at the direction the franchise went that I promptly uninstalled it on release day and now am far too burnt on just 'buying games I want'), and I'm seeing some mixed stuff.

I guess the 5 dollar DLC is actually only valid for ONE save- a waste of money.  Still, can be safely ignored.

There are ingame purchases for weaponry- not required, but still something that is kinda dumb.  At least that can be safely ignored.

Finally, and probably most importantly, I'm seeing a lot of stuff about crashes, optimization issues, etc, the usual gambit of bugs and issues on release.

All that said, I'm also seeing quite a few people agreeing that, barring that stuff, the game is a solid sequel to Human Revolution, with solid gameplay and such.  So....what's the verdict here, amoung those who have it?  I rather want to get the game, being a big fan of the Deus Ex franchise, but I'm just too burned by pre-orders and release day impulse purchases to be willing to drop 60 bucks on the game right now.

So I'll take that as a 'No one has it."?

I got it and so far encountered no major issues. Game was crashing after one update and friend had some FPS issues even though PC specs were good, but all was resolved with rolling back to previous update.

In game shop is basically paying for cheats so completely unnecessary. Only consumables from the DLC are valid for one save, weapons should carry over to other saves. I got it in Day One edition but sort of forgot about it and didn't retrieve the items yet, so i'd say that's unnecessary aswel.

From my point of view its a solid sequel to Human Revolution and a game worth its cost. Being from Prague i might be slightly biased though  ;D

I asked me mate who is a huge fan of the series. Same review as Daworg

The ingame shop is a sore in his eye, but it is not neccesary at all

I actually did end up picking it up after seeing Lazy Game Review's review on it.  So far, I can only agree with DaWorg, it is a great follow up to Human Revolution, but the DLC/ingame shop stuff is just dumb, as are the mini-games included (Breach mainly).  I have beaten the game on a stealth run, and will get back to it eventually for a guns blazing run.  That said, I do have some pretty bad lag issues- even with everything at minimum possible graphics settings, I still get stuttering, lagging, and such.  Guess my 2GB vid card just doesn't cut it anymore....
