Deus Ex Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Pre-Release Thread

Trailers getting a hell of downvotes.

Thanks for reminding me I could downvote this foolishness.

The only thing you need to know about DLC is that it is assigned to the weakest developers and not part of the game's actual design. Basically, you are pre-ordering cheat codes.

So as long as you keep that in mind you will save money and experience the game properly.

You are very optimistic. What you described is the least bad variation of the DLC model. Sometimes DLC is a part of the original game that was gouged out of the game.

My memory of DX:HR's DLC mission is that it was an unfancy but mechanically speaking competently made mission, incorporating opportunities to use all of the player's tools. It seemed like it was made late in the game's development cycle, when the developers had a good handle on things.

There is a contextual importance to the mission considering what characters feature in it. It reminds me slightly of Prothean ME 3 DLC

Yeah, I guess. Teenage Tracer Tong was pretty cool. I wonder if this mission is going to have some kind of cameo as well.

They've canceled the pre-order campaign: https://www.deusex.com/news/aypo-cancelled

"You asked for this", hah!

Now all pre-order rewards are available to anyone who pre-orders or buy Day One edition. Release date has not changed, though.

Their Website is terrible for viewing - too much flash crap.

Shutting Down Augment Your Pre-Order

At both Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal, we’ve been listening to everything you’ve had to say about the Augment Your Pre-Order program. When it was first conceived, we wanted the program to give you more choice about what you received in terms of pre-order incentives - because we've seen in the past that when we choose those packages ourselves, and split them across regions, it has caused frustration. We quickly noticed that this approach created even more frustration than before, resulting in a resounding amount of negative feedback.

We’ve spent a lot of time reading through all of your comments, working to understand how we can try to make things right for you. After much thought and reflection, we decided to <strong>close down the program and make all of the incentive content available to anyone who pre-orders Deus Ex: Mankind Divided or purchases a Day 1 edition of the game</strong>. Additionally, the release date will no longer be changed in accordance with pre-order numbers, and everyone will gain access to the game on February 23rd, 2016.

Your feedback and input is of the utmost importance to us-- as it’s your loyalty and passion for our franchises that gives us the opportunity to continue providing you with great gaming experiences.

To our faithful fans who’ve already pre-ordered: we will be taking care of everything necessary to ensure that all of the changes to the program will be automatically applied to your purchase. Meanwhile, we'd like to thank everybody for their feedback - we know this wouldn't have happened with a game that nobody cared about, and we're just focusing now on delivering a game that lives up to your hopes and expectations.

Thanks for your support!

This is good, but I'd wish people were this vocal against all devs and publishers who do this kind of dumbfuckery.

 

[Abu Antar]

It was a moronic decision to begin with.

They sitll are releasing Day 1 DLCs, meh.

 

[Zombra]

Wow, this is actually pretty historic. In an age where preorder and DLC bullshit is spiraling ever more out of control, it's heartening to see a marketing department take even a small step away from the brink of total insanity.

 

[Ludo Lense]

Just fucking wait until the braindead people who call themselves vidya gaem journalists start going "Squeenix bullied by toxic gaming community, blah blah blah, obligatory gamergate reference, blah blah blah, patreon link"

 

[Infinitron]

They won't do that, the sites that I read are applauding it.

And SJWs have many flaws, but approval of this particular variety of crass commercialism is not one of them

Flaws? As in they have something good in them?
That's an interesting way of phrasing it. Infinitron confirmed to be an SJW agent.

 

[racofer]

Like Desu Ex HR, I will wait for the Goty edition on a steam sale.

But I will still play it on day 1.

The guy is the most obvious troll I've ever seen. He really takes "not even trying" to the next level.

This is a complete version of the IGN documentary that was published in parts earlier this year.

Also this:

 

[Neanderthal]

Makes me think they're gonna go back and remake DE and IW when they've finished dickless' story. Wonder if you could make IW any kop, and how badly could they fuck up DE?

 

[UndetectedButthurt]

Too much fluff. The Montreal devs barely talk about anything... Not that Epic Mickey and Co are any better.

With today's memory limitations and popamole design? So So incredibly badly.
