Yes, a lot of people pay attention.

Less is more.
Seeing that 'This park bench is for Naturals Only' in AJ's video is pretty much the epitome of writer's try-hard mentality.
Hopefully this will drop in price during Xmas Sale.

So you weren't spoon fed the entire plot in the intro cinematic? It's called a narrative hook.
Snow's motives are clearly laid out later in the game and can even be guessed at without foreknowledge (assuming you've played the prior installments.)
And their fight in that one scene was rife with dialogue that actually provided insight into their respective motives and how each felt about the other's actions.
Lightning Returns is the best FFVIII related game.
To compare that scene to the abortion known as the SW prequels (or even the juvenile, suspension of disbelief-shattering "augs lives matter" throughline of MD) is laughable.
Pick another example.

Ross is starting to fill the void left from Spoony's absence. Looking forward to his Mankind Divided review. Great series.

Bah! Missed that. Def a shame, his perspective is refreshingly funny and blunt.
I got a bad feeling at the start when he just skimmed over the actual gameplay part, but he's absolutely spot on when it comes to the plot and the "identity crisis" of the new series. "It's fun, but as far as I'm concerned, Deus Ex is dead." Yeah, he gets it.
However, one thing that really needs to be set straight is that trenchcoats existed in Deus Ex already before The Matrix came out. In an old interview (which, I think, was shortly before Invisible War came out) Warren Spector actually mentioned that the dev team was rather bemused when the movie came out and was a massive hit, as at that time they were right in the middle of developing this game of their own that was also full of trenchcoats and sunglasses after dark.

Yeah, everytime I write this idiot down for hating Obsidian, he is making a cool video like this, and earns back some respect.

He reminded me the plot in HR is pretty terrible/forgettable, too. They tease you with Bob Page at the start and then he's gone until the credits. Same with MD. They only tease the Illuminati in a few scenes as if they know the main plot is so awful it needs to be carrier by all this foreshadowing. Just give us the fucking Illuminati/Page takeover game already.

Yeah well, it's a prequel - they are lukewarm by nature.

If Eidos had done that from the beginning they would have nothing left to milk out into a needless long series.
Now they can continue to tease us with the promise that there will be eventually be a game in which Bob Page/Majestic 12 takes over and drives the Iluminati underground while setting up the original Deus Ex/Deus Ex remake.
Ross probably is right in that we don't need more Deus Ex prequels. One could have worked but Eidos already missed their chance to make the prequel people would have liked to see.
It is probably better to make a game inspired by Deus Ex and predictions by scientists and economists today on what the near future could be like if we continue this way.

JC Denton is a vehicle to the player to interact with the game's worlds and its events. Adam Jensen is a person with a story and opinions you can't really change. You *are* JCD; you get to choose your favorite Jensen from a list of pre made choices.

Been slowly getting into this. I noticed that once you get into the nicer areas of Prague, suddenly you get tons of Asians. I guess upper-middle class Asians suddenly started immigrating there in the 2020s.

Just finished the game last night. Kind of bummed. It feels like the game ends at the halfway point when things are just getting interesting. Enough this whos who shit and let us actually see the MJ12 takeover of the Illuminati.
Still had lots of fun though. I preordered the game alongside the season pass, so I'll be playing this more in the future. Hyped for their next release, whenever it might be.

Another game to wait for until it is 75% off.
