    Deus Ex 2 Replay [Spoilers]

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 05:20 PM PST

    I just did another playthrough of Deus Ex 2, which I hadn't done since it came out. I enjoyed the hell out of it, despite it (deservedly) being the bastard stepchild of the DX series, because I enjoy crawling around human sized airshafts and collecting quantities of money I have no way to spend even if I wanted to.

    I'd forgotten most of what happened in Invisible War, so it was good to get a refresher on it. The main thing I noticed was how ridiculous and poorly thought out the demands of the factions in the game are. It took some unpacking because by Trier, everything you know is upside down (again...) and keeping track of whose motivations were where during previous missions gets confusing.

    ​

    ApostleCorp- So (spoilers start if ya never played this flawed, flawed game) it turns out that your entire purpose as a lab rat is to fulfill JC's vision of melding your DNA into Helios, fulfilling what I guess was what the game is assuming he tried to do as an ending to DX1, but it half worked and half brought about the other 2 final options (tech collapse/Illuminati exerting power from behind the scenes). So you and 4 other clones? are being studied to see if the nano-infusion would work to get across the finish line. Paul is supposed to do this, but only 3 years prior his infusion didn't take- is this when their company decides, 'hey screw it, that didn't work. Let's try it on those clones that have already been training at Tarsus Academy that also have similar DNA. Why not'? Or has it always been the clones' role at Tarsus as a backup plan in case Paul doesn't work out? Very unclear (half-assed?) on that timeline- again unless I missed something, which is why I'm on Reddit. And Dr Nassif makes very clear to not come anywhere close to briefing you on any of this important information, as it's a hazard in case you get captured by enemies. However throughout this invasive biomodding process, they have absolutely no way to block enemy factions from literally watching through Alex's eyes, constantly. Well, so much for that. In fact immediately every member except Leo starts working for 1 (or both in Alex's case) Illuminati puppet factions. Fairly pathetic bumbling of what's apparently their most precious assets in creating AN ENTIRELY NEW WORLD ORDER, and Nassif seems completely fine with this arrangement and run around to save her own skin. Nassif I guess is JC and Paul's proxy in the game until Tracer Tong shows up? Idk I killed her because she didn't give me anything to work with and to screw over the WTO who were literally sitting on a pandemic vaccine in Cairo. I didn't trust her and if she had been remotely up front with me she might have been fine. So I guess I killed her for unconscionable incompetence at the end of the day. Tracer Tong's chill though.

    Illuminati- Ok, so there's a Collapse, and the Illuminati are at square one on how to come out ahead with these new circumstances. Cool. Prosperous centralized gov't? Sure sounds up their alley. Centralized religion? Not sure I buy it's viability but for the sake of the game, fine. Let's start with the Order though. So the people who set it up, that want me to trust them with THEIR World Order. Apparently baked in their scripture is this idea that all Augmentation is the Devil, and are surprised to find out that, whaddya know, a fanatical faction has splintered off from this admittedly utilitarian construct of control, and is now on the loose and a real danger to absolutely everything. Casually thumbing through any history book could have suggested this instantly, but these prospective World Leaders must've let it slip. I also find it interesting (maybe a comment? I don't think the writing of this game is nuanced enough though) that the Order claims to be an amalgamation of all the World's religions, that offer peace and balance and understanding- and both of their choices in missions that are assigned to you are for assassination! The one at Mako (does absolutely anyone care about the Mako rail gun?) is just a hit to 'send a message', and one completely contradicting their Illuminati counterpart! Way to sell me on your unified vision ya dorks. And as I said above, the WTO's decision not to cure a horrific pandemic in Cairo, that it was sitting on a cure for, so that people who can afford it could live it up in Arcologies gave me all I need to know about how they want to run the world.

    Templars- Ooooooh the big scary bad guys. They'll destroy ENTIRE CITIES and still try to sell you on how they are the protectors of true Humanity or something. And about that attack- so they find out that the key to the Helios dystopian future (in their opinion) is at an Academy in Chicago. Desperate times, desperate measures and all- let's blow all of Chicago just to make absolutely sure! At least everything making contact with the ground at that moment (why not use a nuke and make sure? Ya can't convince me one city-leveling superweapon is that much harder to obtain than another, or that a Tarsus academy that's literally shaking from explosions in Seattle is resistant to it) As far as a contingency plan, in case this top secret agency with limitless resources they're attacking catches wind of the attack in the zero hour and airlifts its most precious assets away to another base....well, I guess we can send in some low level henchmen loyal to my faction to raid the new base they get transported to. That'll work too I guess. And if THAT somehow fails, and they cut through all my guards with their Augs that make them a superior combat threat than all my unmodded humans and mechs combined- I'll appeal to their sense that they're like, just a pawn in the world and that's, like, really unfair to me. Bitch I'm a badass killing machine- I'm assume I'm working for somebody at any given time- trying to make it the good guys but these dipshits that need me oh so badly but insist on keeping me in the dark, so I accidentally fuck them over. But I sure as hell know that y'all aren't the good guys Saman, or any less doofy than the factions you're angling against.

    Omar- Well, the world's gonna suck, we're gonna adapt and outlive everyone, and sell our stuff in the meantime, but it's gonna be mostly miserable and barren. Kinda makes some sense for how to leave things (I think the Denton's approach makes sense too, they're just trash at managing a company they set up, hence the entire "plot" of this game)

    ​

    That's it, I'm probably overanalyzing a mediocre video game

    Is it just me, but the movement and mouse controls on Deus Ex Mankind Divided is very awkward?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:42 AM PST

    I'm playing on PC, and it maybe because my FPS is around 40 only, but the movement and mouse controls is incredibly awkward compared to other FPS games I played. I don't know how to describe it, but it just feels very weird like it's unresponsive. I played Prey 2017 in 30fps and the movement there felt fantastic, so it's probably not an fps issue.

    Did anyone encounter the same thing?

    Also the "pickup highlighter" was very distracting, luckily the game allows u to turn it off.
