Question of the week:
Who are your favorite video game devs, if any?
Shameless plug-in for a certain Discord server:
The original Deus Ex?
Yeah, AFAIK, the rest of the franchise deviated completely from the politics in the original and it is only some bland cyberpunk bad corpo shit.
I’ve never played through the original 2 Deus Ex games, but I have them both on my computer through GOG.
Despite its flaws and Sinophobia and a bit of neoliberalism, I think that Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a fantastic game.
I can’t bring myself at the moment to play through Mankind Divided, since it constantly demonizes the former Soviet Union for liberating Prague, and waxes so much sand about how evil the Soviets were.
I’ve heard that the gameplay is really good, but I didn’t know that the story was interesting, too
The game play is fine, in my opinion, you have some rough edges, jumping is ridiculously stupidly bad, managing your inventory is tedious and the rest is fine, it’s not a super fast paced shooter but I really like that, but the best part is the story, totally, I can’t think of a video game with this much politics. Maybe Spec Ops: The Line, but it’s not so direct, and it does not have so many discourses about real life, plus Deus Ex predicted the future, SOTL is a critique of modern intervention in the Middle East.
nice
