Deus Ex: Mankind Divided [PC, PS4, Xbone]

[grumpycrab]

Blimey, end of the month - didn't expect it that early. Should/could have been part of the full game?

[Jez]

Yeah you'd have thought so in fairness. It's only out a little over 2 weeks or so.

That's pricier than I am willing to pay for one mission also.

Interesting Jimquisition video on how Square Enix shoehorned the microtransactions into the game and other shitty goings on in the Deus Ex franchise.

[Sly Boots]

Interesting vid, thanks for that.

So I decided to buy the Klipspringer jump mod and boy does it open up the world around you when you do. I'm now getting into so many new places I so easily overlooked due to not having played the verticality card sooner. I found so much stuff I even managed to buy three praxis kits at a store which cost 10,000 each.

Anyway just arrived at Golem City which feels about the right time with 24 hours played and I'm scouring every inch as I move onward.

32 hours and I think I'm getting closer to the end now. Haven't killed anyone except for some dudes that I stealth knocked out and found out they'd killed someone so i went back and popped a cap into their sleeping heads. Bastards.

As soon as I've finished I'm starting a more lethal playthrough. i haven't even redeemed my pre-order bonus stuff yet.

Wow I'm in Golem City now and I think I've put in about half that time so far.

Well as a discussion on Steam so rightly states if you can manage to complete the game in under 30 hours as many are saying they have and as he so eloquently put it YOU. ARE. PLAYING. THE. GAME. WRONG.

You are in fact playing a Deus Ex game people. L2P. Bitches.

I think I'm at the same stage as you Prey with around the same hours put in. I got a bit sidetracked blinking and high-jumping around the roof-tops of Prague. I also spent hours infiltrating the bank even though nobody had yet asked me to

[Prey]

No doubt we both are both playing through the game the first time over on Give Me Deus Ex difficulty no? I know I am and wouldn't dream of anything else.

Funnily enough I ended up doing the bank in precisely the same manner stunning enemies, closing the window blinds and stuffing them all into nearby air ducts.

[Sly Boots]

You gotta love those ducts stuffed full of security guys

I'm not doing it on the hardest difficulty, but on the one below the hardest, can't remember what it's called.

[Prey]

The Directx 12 update is officially released tomorrow. Woo!

[Jez]

I'm on the home run with this I think back in Prague for the third time and cleaning up some loose ends before starting the next story mission. I'll hang fire though until this update drops and see how it looks.

I did enjoy playing this probably top 40 hours easily when finished I have a feeling it might not get a second playthrough though.

[Sly Boots]

Yeah, I can see that. I think I'll end up filing this in the same part of my brain as Fallout 4 - sequels I wasn't really crying out for but bought on release, that were pretty much more of what had come before, that I enjoyed while playing without ever really quite feeling it, played happily to completion and then never spared another moment's thought on thereafter.

[Rusty]

Just starting my second playthrough (after sitting through 20 minutes of unskippable credits...I kid you not) and have 40 hours on my Steam page.
Seems about right then
