Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

This is out today (unlocks in seven hours) and I broke my rule to pre-order it. The reviews have been outstanding and the technical appraisals suggest it's very solid on PC. It's done by the same team who did the PC versions of both THIEF and DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION, so it should be absolutely fine.

I'm enjoying hearing there are no boss battles and a lot more options for stealthing and ghosting, although HR was pretty good on that already.


I will pick this up after I have played and finished the other Deus Ex games. But it does sound good.


You only really need to play HUMAN REVOLUTION first (in the timeline, it's HR, MANKIND DIVIDED, then the original DEUS EX and then INVISIBLE WAR), but it's an interesting series. Although the gulf between DEUS EX and the new games is so large that I'm not sure it's possible to really buy they're still set in the same universe.


Is is a bad thing to feel Sympathetic for Gunther Herman from Deus Ex? blood knight he was, he was doomed to be abandoned by the Conspiracy and filled with cybernetics that were crude and no longer getting upgraded.

I liked Deus Ex HR but Thief was baaaaad. That said will I like this?

My grafics card seems to be too weak to handle this game. I have a Geforce GTX 570, and the game says that I should at least have a 660. Yay.

Yes. THIEF was done by a different team at Eidos Montreal. This is the same team that did HR.

I played HR first time out on OnLive (!) which was weirdly appropriate. I then played it again on a PC with a 550ti and that was fine. MD is running okay on my new(ish) second-hand 770 with everything on second-highest settings.

Apparently there's a lot of moaning about the game not running well on Ultra on really powerful rigs, but the devs seem to have built in some serious future-proofing on the game (possibly as HR started ageing pretty quickly). Some of the graphical options are insane, I'm not surprised they're giving even Titans and 1080s trouble.


I am saving this for a reward for when I finally finish Human Revolution.

As someone who loved DE:HR, my heart is telling me to buy it immediately. As someone with limited spending money, though, my wallet is telling me to wait until it goes on Steam sale...

Currently I'm resisting temptation, but mostly just because my graphics card is being a malfunctioning piece of crap.
