The new DeusEx are pretty meh. Also the last one was filled with SJW garbage "aug life matter" . Also it was half a game,it had like 4 missions. The hub city was pretty cool tho. Really enjoyed killing all the aug retards. Another thing was how it didn't make any sense in the context of the first new DX. In the first one only the very rich and powerful could afford aug,it was luxury good. Then it the second game all the augs end up as downthrown beggars,it doesn't make any sense.

my biggest eh is i don't buy their reason how augmented people became poor, downtrodden hobos. it just doesn't make sense.

Because the big incident that made people fearful of augs, and then you have the cost of the medicine. Not the easiest to provide for that when you are shunned by society.

if not, take a trip to seattle and probably hire some personal security while you're there

Yep. The incident made it so that hardly anyone is willing to hire augs for anything, and then add on top of that the price of medicine, and add on top of that Tai Yong Medical essentially becoming a monopoly after all their major competitors died (resulting in the profiteering that's inevitable in such a situation).

 

[Infinitron]

The situation with the oppressed augmented in Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex games doesn't really make sense so don't overthink it, but I think the general idea of it is that many of them are indentured blue collar workers augmented by their employers to work on titanic construction projects like Hengsha and Panchaea.

It is not like their whole family wealth just evaporated in a instant,also there is a lot of other family members. The whole plot was just some forced sjw garbage. The whole shit didn't make a lick of sense being a prequel to DX. In the original only few military people were getting augmented and not every fucking peasant with a few shekels to his name.

If it was set only in the liberal hellhole sure,but it was represented as world wide shit. Also the drug was not needed by everyone from what i remember.

Someone ping Safav

Bohr Safav is gone.

Avellone also preemptively apologized for retweeting the Landis gif.

Guy's just a regular jerk, he's not some predator.

Fucking Twitter. You can't post anything there without upsetting someone. These people are just on Twitter to get upset about stuff, that's their whole damn existance. "Ooh, wrong meme. Apologize!"

 

[Quillon]

I revise my statement that "Real life is leftist dystopia" to "Twitter is leftist dystopia"

Pillars would certainly be an unannounced project unless they're doing console port work.

 

[Duraframe300]

Pillars would certainly be an unannounced project unless they're doing console port work.

We already knew theres at least three teams currently. That side fits.

So which on of those two is working on whatever the next Pillars title is and who's working on the *unannounced* project.

- Matthew Perez project
- Adam Brennecke project

Yes. They had 3½ teams 6 months ago(?).

Outer Worlds
Unannounced #1
Unannounced #2
Deadfire support team

 

[Turuko]

there's not much to do for them under MS other than Shadowrun
Freelancer maybe?

I would say Perez is the lead on Pillars 3 and Brennecke is leading the Unreal Engine game. Adam has been working on Pillars for so long, that surely they've moved him from that to bigger/different things.

 

[<3sRichardSimmons]

I thought Adam had publicly expressed interest in being the lead on PoE3, no?

 

[Duraframe300]

Dini McMurry has left

Probably was fired for not listing preferred pronouns on twitter.
