Turns out that making something good isn't about disassembling it to its component parts and then asking how well each is constructed, something literally anyone who has ever done anything creative would tell you.

combat sucks, sneaking pales in comparison with real sneaking games, models are ugly as gently caress, your character has those methhead sunglasses, the plot is a nonsensical collection of stupid conspiracy cliches and the the ai sucks

i agree and yet despite all that the gameplay in the original still manages to be better than the eidos reboot

The actual gameplay in Mankind Divided is good (the bank in particular is pretty goddamn fun to sneak around in) but overall it feels like half a game. It's probably worth $20 though, also I haven't played any of the DLC

nah it's just not a very good game. it has charm, yeah but it's mediocre to bad in every aspect.

it's both a bad shooter and has badly implemented skill based combat. don't even get me started on the melee

the bartender in hong kong still cracks me up

quote:

Int. Night Club, Hong Kong - two men are wearing sunglasses indoors.
JC: The separation of powers acknowledges the petty ambitions of individuals; that’s its strength.
Bartender, unaccountably Australian: A system organized around the weakest individuals will produce these same qualities in its leaders.
JC: Perhaps certain qualities are an inseparable part of human nature.
Bartender: The mark of the educated man is the suppression of these qualities in favour of better ones. The same is true of civilization.
JC: I’ll take a drink.

what is your life, bartender?

stealth as a concept is dumb as gently caress in games to me.

Dishonored i killed literally every soldier possible. Far Cry I'm driving into bases firing grenades from a speeding jeep. Deus Ex I'm kicking security bots to death when i run out of rockets. Crysis I'm maximum strength and armor rambo throwing people through shacks.

or i can sneak around like a little bitch hoping to not get spotted crouching directly next to an oblivious AI.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
As good as some parts of hong kong are, my favorite part of the game is the conversation with morpheus. The atmosphere of the encounter is drat near perfect and the convo itself has almost harlan ellison levels of wordsmithing artistry to it.

Amazing game, so many weird choices you can make depending on how thoroughly you comb through the game. Also, Walton was a loving nightmare using a stealth build. At least in the newer games you can do a pacifist run in the whole game (bar Human Revolution's bosses).

In DX 1 you can do a pacifist run without too much trouble (you have to kill Anna at the very least without using major glitches—even if you spare Anna she's still counted as dead) but the easiest way isn't really a stealth build, because speed aug is so helpful in getting past NPC and bosses. JC races to the finish line through clouds of tear gas, pepper spray, and halon.

Not that many games let you coldcock 4 dudes in a row, each of who spills out a bucketful of saliva from his mouth, after downing a whole jar of protein powder.

pacifist runs are for limp wristed bitch cowards, if you didn't select the GEP gun from alex at the start of the game you can straight go gently caress yourself.

Also the superior way to play was to console spawn 100 cats and grind your game to a halt as they bounce around the dock, flying into the air every time they hit the water.
