Deus Ex Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Pre-Release Thread

Well, that figures. I guess I can always look for a pirated DLC version of missing link. Pretty fucking stupid that I have to resort to that because they are unwilling to sell the DLC individually.

I wonder if this still works: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/il/en/pc/games/action/deus-ex-human-revolution-the-missing-link/

Hmm, yeah, if so that is cool. Is this a legit site though?

GMG? Certainly.

 

[Xenich]

For fuck sake, do you faggots even comprehend the incline I bring to this franchise that has lost it's way? I am one of few fighting the good fight, but of course the drama of EM-produced popamole is more valuable to you.

No, they don't. As I said before, the Codex is comprised of stragglers here and there who are actually old school, true to principal gamers. The rest are fucking main-stream hacks simply "playing" the role.

Excellent, thanks for the link. Solves my problem!

Yeah, I should have guessed as much; the Codex top 100 RPGs list reveals this place can be a little lopsided in its supposed monocled expectations. And why the fuck is HR on that list? DX1 only just qualifies as an RPG, but HR certainly doesn't cut it.

Even the holiest and the bravest knights can be utter retards, and when they're done with their good deeds, they get their share of booting and humiliation, and so do you.
Wait, ahem, wrong tone.

[eidos_mode]
bro your mod may be good but youre still an utter retard and that overshadows ur mod learn some tact bro
[/eidos_mode]

Now there is your answer, in the most comprehensible manner.

[/eidos_mode]

I'm a retard because I don't handle a crowd of retards too well. Excellent logic.

Also, nothing can ever result in me being more retarded than you, no brain damage, hard drug abuse, nothing. You're far too gone. How can you say such things of me and activate "eidos mode" in the very same post? Also, keep up your insults and I'll rat you out to viktoria

Additionally, Tact isn't a requirement to maintaining stable & "normal" mental functioning. I don't like dealing with people as most are dickheads by nature, so naturally when I attempt it I don't excel at it, and that is fine.
Pot calling kettle black, RPG Codex is the home of the degenerate fucktards of the gaming world and watching you all makes me feel proud of myself, and also sad because I know you could put your passion & desire for quality in the games industry to better use. Do your fellow codexers know that you have an agenda whenever you activate "eidos mode". It is illogical and you'll accomplish nothing in that approach. At least you're trying something different, I guess.

I did used to be skilled in dealing with people mind you, but my desire for social interaction as a hobby/way of life/instinct was stripped by typical drama bullshit, betrayal, you know, all that typical bullshit when dealing with the wrong kind of friends and girlfriends, that I ultimately lost said skills after becoming a voluntary hermit. And you know, Programming is a hermit lifestyle almost as a requirement, so I'm not sure what more you could expect of me.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Lacking the most basic intelligence to survive on Codex doesn't do you any favors either.
Speaking of insults and ratting out, your poor attempt at negotiation doesn't mean shit. Go on and tell Viktoria about how bad, bad Zwanzig offends you.

But in order to stay off topic, I promise I'll try your mod once you finish it and see how much of the promised "incline" is included.

 

[CyberP]

Sure, I should have lurked and figured out how you fucktards operated before jumping in guns blazing, but I really didn't expect my presence here to be long term. And who has time for that shit. Why would I even think I need to "survive" on the codex? You think this place holds relevance of a high order?
Anyway, no more petty squabbles, I really don't give a fuck today. People that come to the codex and stay, well I suspect there's something wrong with all of us, some of you especially so. Stop criticizing me for really pathetic shit, and also you should cut down on your eidos troll persona, because you probably do need an intervention in that regard.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Boy, you're truly upset. If you can't handle criticism, then how do you manage to survive in a real world? Do you have a job?

 

[CyberP]

I've told you enough about myself. I don't think it would be wise to disclose too much information to a shameless troll.
Also, I'm not sure it is so much criticism as rather personal attacks, but I manage.
Tell me about yourself. what drives you to such measures of retardation & spite? How old are you? One would assume you to be a teen with the behavior you commonly display, but something tells me you are technically classified as "mature" by age.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

If you want to talk about me, feel free to use personal messages.
We can discuss our differences and whatever is bothering your poor little ego.

Until then, I'm waiting for more news from Eidos Montreal and Deus Ex in order to make our discussion at Eidos forums hotter and more productive than any of my pieces of fan fiction.

 

[Decado]

Okay who the fuck changed the font to Comic Sans?

 

[CyberP]

We can discuss our differences and whatever is bothering your poor little ego.

Why do people even have pathetic back & forths such as this, on a daily basis on the internet no less? More nonconstructive wasting of time. Certainly in-part the influence of all our retarded egos.

Until then, I'm waiting for more news from Eidos Montreal and Deus Ex in order to make our discussion at Eidos forums hotter and more productive than any of my pieces of fan fiction.

I'll look forward to it. That place is a lost cause anyway, and just represents devolution.

 

[Beggar]

Look at the trailer, look at the Human Revolution "over the screen gadget on gadget" - this sums it up. Another piece of shit game to milk pseudo intellectuals who are gonna run and buy it after their Inception popcorn movie is over.

 

[WhiteGuts]

The pro-augment/anti-augment conflict and the moral amibiguity that surrounds it that serves as a backdrop to the game is completely trivialized by Jensen's prowesses in the goddamn trailer. It's stupid. Who could have any doubt that free augments for everybody is NOT the way to go when you see two guys wrecking a whole city ?

I understand their need to focus on combat since that part was average at best in Human Revolution, but they didn't need to go overboard with the MURDERCHAOS. Combat is but one part of Deus Ex, and not the most interesting I might add.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

It was not so long ago that the Squeenix suits were talking about the failure of hitman absolution and how they were going to stop neglecting their core audience. How quickly they forget

"B-but development started way before we decided that so sorry we'll stop shitting on you in ten years when Final Fantasy XXXXXX will be released sorri."

Meet The Power Players Of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Adam Jensen is more driven than ever. Two years after the catastrophic events that marked the end of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, he’s determined to expose the group and people behind the so-called Aug Incident. While the Illuminati may have pulled those strings and are the focus of Jensen’s investigation in the upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, they’re not the only organization that he becomes involved with. Today, we’re taking a look at some of the other factions Jensen – and players – will meet.

Task Force 29
In Human Revolution, Jensen worked as head of security for the augmentation manufacturer Sarif Industries. Following the Aug Incident, where augmented people essentially went haywire and unwittingly performed acts of violence and terrorism, Sarif’s business collapsed. Now, Jensen is a member of an anti-terrorist group headed up by Interpol, called Task Force 29.

“The division that he’s in, he is probably the only augmented person in that strike team,” says Mary DeMarle, Mankind Divided’s narrative director. Jensen will travel around the world as he unravels the conspiracy, including an area near Prague that’s now become a prison camp for augmented people. DeMarle says that Jensen’s augmentations give him an in with the people living there that others might not have. And while Task Force 29’s stated goal is to eliminate terrorism, DeMarle is quick to point out that in this world, one person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.

The Augmented Rights Coalition
The Augmented Rights Coalition, or ARC, is one group that is seen as terrorists by the powers that be. In the early hours of Mankind Divided, Jensen has to infiltrate the group’s Prague base and capture its leader, Dr. Talos Rucker (pictured above).

ARC was originally a loosely structured network of groups that were organized to help the recently augmented deal with the transition to their new status. After the Aug Incident, ARC began to coalesce over what members saw as a violation of augmented peoples’ rights. Augmented people were rounded up and abused for crimes that they perpetrated through no fault of their own. ARC saw that as being victimized twice – once for the initial crimes, and secondly for holding augs culpable for things that were out of their control.

Rucker is a humanitarian-aid doctor who was also augmented after sustaining injuries in a natural disaster. He has amassed considerable power by banding the augs together, which makes him a threat to those who would work to further restrict augmented people. While the group itself doesn’t rely on violence to get its message across, various members have gone rogue. Because of that, ARC has been placed on a terrorist watch list. One of the high-ranking members of the group is Victor Marchenko, and it’s unclear at this point whether he poses a threat to Jensen or the people who would keep ARC down. DeMarle says Marchenko is skeptical of Jensen’s place in this world, asking whether Jensen is a wrench – a derogatory slang term and reference to a tool being wielded by the man.

The Illuminati
The Illuminati has been a force in the Deus Ex universe since the series began. It’s also the group that introduced a glitch into augmentation software that created the Aug Incident. While they share the same name, Eidos Montreal’s interpretation of the group is different from the first Deus Ex. Most notably, it’s shifted away from the ‘90s-era X-Files-style paranoia toward something more grounded.

“They’re very powerful one-percenters who have always controlled and manipulated society in ways that serve a vision that they have,” DeMarle says. “For some of them, that vision may be very personal, and it may be, ‘I just want to maintain peace and prosperity so that I stay on top.’ For others, because nothing is ever black and white and it’s about the individual, some of them may very much believe, ‘I’ve been given this power and this money and this wealth, and I come from this upper class because kings are born. Our job is to protect society, and we need to preserve mankind. When we look forward and see the war and we see the terrorism, we have to stop it – but how we stop it might not be to the benefit of everyone.’”

In short, the Illuminati is a blanket term to describe these powerful people overall, even if they don’t necessarily have an official structure or hold meetings. “It’s more along the lines of the one percent of the one-percenters,” DeMarle says. She adds that she was reading the book Too Big to Fail when she realized that some bankers share a common trait with the fictional Illuminati: They’re too arrogant to effectively band together for a common goal. That could make solving this mystery a tough challenge.

Task Force 29 UNATCO
In Human Revolution, Jensen worked as head of security for the augmentation manufacturer Sarif Industries. Following the Aug Incident plague outbreak, where augmented people essentially went haywire and unwittingly performed acts of violence and terrorism griefly sick, Sarif’s business collapsed. Now, Jensen is a member of an anti-terrorist group headed up by Interpol, called UNATCO.

“The division that he’s in, he is probably the only augmented nano-augmentedperson in that strike team,” says Mary DeMarle, Mankind Divided’s narrative director. Jensen will travel around the world as he unravels the conspiracy, including an area near Prague Statue of Liberty that’s now become a prison camp for augmented people been taken over by NSF. DeMarle says that Jensen’s augmentations give him an in with the people living there that others might not have. And while Task Force 29’s stated goal is to eliminate terrorism, DeMarle is quick to point out that in this world, one person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.

The Augmented Rights Coalition NSF
The National Separatist Force, or NSF, is one group that is seen as terrorists by the powers that be. In the early hours of Mankind Divided, Jensen has to infiltrate the group’s Prague temporary Statue of Liberty base and capture its leader, Dr. Talos Rucker Leo Gold (pictured above).

NSF was originally a loosely structured network of groups that were organized to help the recently augmented infecteddeal with the transition to their new status. After the Aug Incident discovery of Ambrosia and its limitation to select few people, NSF began to coalesce over what members saw as a violation of augmented peoples’ rights. Augmented people were rounded up and abused for crimes that they perpetrated through no fault of their own. NSF saw that as being victimized twice – once for the initial crimes, and secondly for holding augs culpable for things that were out of their control. being sick.down. DeMarle says Marchenko is skeptical of Jensen’s place in this world, asking whether Jensen is a wrench – a derogatory slang term and reference to a tool being wielded by the man.

The Illuminati
The Illuminati has been a force in the Deus Ex universe since the series began. It’s also the group that introduced a glitch into augmentation software that created the Aug Incident. While they share the same name, Eidos Montreal’s interpretation of the group is different from the first Deus Ex. Most notably, it’s shifted away from the ‘90s-era X-Files-style paranoia toward something more grounded.

“They’re very powerful one-percenters who have always controlled and manipulated society in ways that serve a vision that they have,” DeMarle says. “For some of them, that vision may be very personal, and it may be, ‘I just want to maintain peace and prosperity so that I stay on top.’ For others, because nothing is ever black and white and it’s about the individual, some of them may very much believe, ‘I’ve been given this power and this money and this wealth, and I come from this upper class because kings are born. Our job is to protect society, and we need to preserve mankind. When we look forward and see the war and we see the terrorism, we have to stop it – but how we stop it might not be to the benefit of everyone.’”

In short, the Illuminati is a blanket term to describe these powerful people overall, even if they don’t necessarily have an official structure or hold meetings. “It’s more along the lines of the one percent of the one-percenters,” DeMarle says. She adds that she was reading the book Too Big to Fail when she realized that some bankers share a common trait with the fictional Illuminati: They’re too arrogant to effectively band together for a common goal. That could make solving this mystery a tough challenge.

If they can copy the DX1 story and make it feel genuine, then why the fuck not.
At least it'll answer the question "what if Deus Ex was set in 2029 and developed by kwanadian dipshits?".

The whole thing doesn't make much sense. Now there's a conspiracy against the augmented? You'd think they were building the story up so that everything pointed to Illuminati (Jews) pushing the augments to easily control the manboons via neuropozyne and total dependency on augmentation.

The plot in DX:HR was that the Illuminati wanted to regulate and control augmented people, but at no point did the game really imply that they wanted more humans to become augmented.

I couldn't even follow the plot in DX1 other than Bob Page wanted to become God.
