Everything just seems to have no real consequence.
The original Deus Ex did that in 2000 and here I was in 2018 walking into every ladies room I can find and noone so far has said a damn thing. And worse of all: No boss calling you out for going to the ladies room. You can hack & rob the world's "most secure" private bank blind and it won't detect, acknowledge or change anything. You can sell folks their own guns you just stole by putting 3 giant trashcans right in front of their faces and then smashing in their living space walls. There are zero reactions from NPCs when looting their offices WHILE they are present. Gameplay is also pretty lacklustre so far. Why would anyone build something like this and why would people live in something like this?įeels like art direction reigning supreme in that studio, going in a certain direction cause it looks cool and then the story folks trying to make sense of it and not the other way round.
You travel outside of Prague, to the vast, forested country side in the Czech Republic of 2029 (11 years from now) and suddenly arrive at a massive dystopian Hongkong-scale ghetto made out of thousands of vertically stacked trailers and containers and loose cabling everywhere. The admittedly sometimes interesting art direction also does not help to ground the world building: natural ones, the fear to be surpassed by AI, but again, it would not be the poor folks that would have these enhancements. Now if it would be more a matter of AI enhanced brains vs. It is not believable that mankind would start hating on artificial limb people.
All the game is showing me so far is a bunch of homeless people with high tech prosthesis. Did millions of people all walk through a minefield holding hands?Īlso: Augs need Neuropozyne to keep living AND it is not like they can breed "their own kind" so how are 7 million augmented people world wide even a problem that apparently has societies across the globe aflame? So instead of having augmented humans being a master race, we have millions of poor augmented people who are racially oppressed by the natural humans and Augs living in the sewers in droves.Įveryone has artificial legs and limbs. You would think in the world of DEUS EX, the augmented people would be the Haves, the 1%ers, the Robber barons, trying a power play for immortality and becoming transhumanist gods, but whoever wrote the MANKIND DIVIDED story thought it would be a good idea to turn that around? Every damn second playing this I am reminded of the utterly ridiculous Augs vs. Everywhere, on signs, graffiti on walls, newspapers, computers, NPCs moaning about it. The "Aug Lifes matter" story is in your face at ALL times. Amid all the chaos, secret Organizations are working behind the scenes, attempting to manipulate and control the fate of mankind.Playing MANKIND DIVIDED right now, currently in the (early) mission inside the Aug ghetto and my God is the story and world building lacklustre so far. The oppression of the mechanically augmented has created a climate of fear and resentment, resulting in an escalation of crime and acts of terror.
