OH MY GOD! The legend is back!I just installed it under WINE and DXVK because the native Linux port runs like garbage on my machine. It runs well and it reminds me how awesome this game is. Definitely the best immersive sim of this decade. Great game, with a great story and characters. I love it. But only true connoissaurs of quality can appreciate it, the rest will complain about useless garbage and join the hive mind in trashtalking it. Sheep.

what a downgrade this game is from HR, even the "great" bank level is bland, just find a bunch of vents to win
The main plot's a bit lackluster, it was clearly designed as a middle act in trilogy, but the game overall is far more memorable than DX3. I was having so much fun through Prague and the third DLC that I didn't give a toss over what the overarching plot was.How does it rate to Human Revolution? I remember the plot in DE:HR taking a major dive after FEMA, which tempered my enjoyment of the game.
Well, yes, it's a bit underwhelming, but at least mechanically the ending plays better than "press button, receive outro" like some other DX title I know...It's just too short, and the ending is disapointing.
When people praise Human Revolution's story, I think they have much better memory than I do because I can barely remember a thing. Seriously, I ran into Eliza on my second Prague visit and was all like, wait, we're friends or some shit? I set you free, really? Was there whiskey on my breath?When people praise Human Revolution's story, I think they choose to forget what happens after the confrontation with Darrow. (Which is a really good confrontation that overshadows everything else in that level.)
MD is more polished but also soulless. HR is the better game. Still optimistic for the next game because if they combine the best parts of both, they'll make a great game.How does it rate to Human Revolution?

HR is a more complete and memorable game in terms of story, but MD generally has better level design and gameplay. I also really liked how most of it took place in Prague, which is a really nice hub, but your mileage may vary on that — not much globetrotting to be found in MD.How does it rate to Human Revolution?

LolI realised something replaying this masterpiece. One of the main reasons i like it is that is has a world and a story that are believable and adult. Everything in that world is familiar. Even the magazine covers you find have something to tell you and you notice them and laugh. It feels like a real place, and the people feel like real people. Adam is a person you can identify with. His struggles, his losses, his hopes and dreams. I could literally just imagine it being a movie and being succesful, instead of game. I love the real world setting. Real world setting should be used far more often in RPGs. Fantasy and SCI-FI have been over-used for many decades. They are boring now. It is like we have 3 options only: Fantasy, Post-apocalyptic, Space Opera. With Fantasy being the majority. Come on man, make some modern real world RPGs, it is not that hard. Even when they try to do that, they make them slightly in the future and make them cyberpunk, because they are too afraid to just make them current modern day world. Human Revolution and Mankind Divided are the closest they can get, and this is sad.
I am tired of stupid juvenile stories and medieval fantasy worlds in my RPGs. I mean yeah, you got to sell to kids too, and really adult stories don't sell that well since children and manchildren don't appreciate them, but i am just tired of playing your stupid fantasy fairy tales anymore. Perhaps that is why i really can't stand most shit that gets released these days. They are all so teenager-focused. Mankind Divided is a breath of fresh air. The rest of you can keep playing your Divinities and your Pathfinders and all that shit that are just fairy tales for 12 year olds and call them incline, i don't care. I can't immerse myself in them. They are too kiddie for my taste. Games like MD should be made more often. Fantasy and juvenile stuff are fine as long as the gameplay is fun, so Skyrim gets a pass.
GTA-like RPG is such a missed chance by Industry! Hopefully THQ Nordic/Paradox/LesserEvil.Inc will fix it one dayjust make them current modern day world
Wait I can't remember if I played the DLCs or not, now...With DLCs it's actually not that short anymore. You integrate those in the main game and it makes for longer game (no shit, I know). The prison DLC is quite good. The bank DLC mission clearly was supposed to be in the main game and shamelessly ripped from it.
System Rift and Criminal Past don't really seem cut from the main game to me. Desperate Measures is conspicuously so, given that it was a day-one DLC.
...boy, I had forgotten just how scummy the monetization of this game was. Even after Square Enix backtracked on "Augment Your Preorder" due to the uproar it caused, we still had entire missions locked to preorder bonuses and single-use consumable items as microtransactions. This is why I've still not played the two proper DLCs, because purchasing the season pass just feels gross even at a huge discount.
