Remember the days when you could go out and rent a videogame for like $5 and play the whole thing and return it a few days or a week later?

I am afraid those days are long in the past. The games industry always has been about money but it got worse since the same types you see in Hollywood and other big business who don't care about the product or service got to run the show.

There is probably going to be a time in which I completely stay away from AAA games as they have become to much focused on squeezing as much money as possible out of gamers. (pay now and you get a 50% discount on this weapons pack we are offering)

BTW what kind of technical problems are people having with this game? I already mentioned here in the forum about the bugs and issues I had during that ingame intro sequence. I am starting to hear about issues on the Steam forum that are very close to some of the issues you find in Bethesda's games like people falling through floors, walking through walls, or stuff floating in the air.
 
Well I'm going to avoid the game until the complete edition comes out and they remove the microtransactions which should've never been in the game.

Crashing in conversations with NPCs, for example.
 
Fucking hell gaming industry, why do you keep raping my favourite franchises? Fallout, Gothic, Deus Ex, keep your cock out of franchises I like.

All my prayer to the gaming gods is for a good Planescape game, please let Planescape Tides of Numinera be good, just please

I think you mean "torment", not "planescape".

Welp, after an okay intro mission I arrive at the start of the game and already during the ingame cutscene weird stuff happens.
-NPCs suddenly disappear
-One NPC suddenly appears (a young boy appears out of a female NPCs, I don't think this is what is understood about reproduction and growing up fast)
-I think my character/Jensen walked through several characters as otherwise he is getting really disturbingly close with some random people on the street (at one point he was basically peeking over a woman's shoulder while talking to another character)
-Two NPCs walked through other standing NPCs

Then the game crashed.

I've seen a lot of pathing & clipping issues, and had the game go blank once when it was supposed to play a take down animation. It just froze entirely dark & had to alt-F4.

Out of curiousity, I wanted to see how easy this game was to hack, since they intended to sell shit in a single player game. Turns out, it's simple to give you more Praxis or cash through memory editing software like Cheat Engine (both are 4 Byte values).

I also heard there were already actual console cheats out there as well as trainers.

Yeah who doesn't know about Cheat Engine by now, if people are going to stupidly buy these microtransactions the might as well stop with that and use Cheat Engine since it's free. Not that I cheat in my games but other people like to do their own thing. :shrug:

How's the game?
 
Super Bunnyhop's review

Looks like they tried to shoehorn in a meaningful, thought-provoking metaphor and story in a way that was too much of a stretch.

Game looks good though, but it looks like the story in Human Revolution was better. The review seems like he loves the gameplay and level design and dislikes the writing and narrative.

its MGSV level of cut content and cliffhanger. The game also kind forced you to be sympathetic to augmentation and transhumanism (In HR it doesnt feel that black and white)

Yea that sounds like childish writing that tries too hard to make itself sound deep and meaningful - pretentious writing. But it is a sequel to a AAA game, so I guess it should be expected that the writing would be dumbed down. At least they didn't turn Deus Ex into a crafting game with Mankind Divided Workshop DLC...yet.

The story still looks better than the rest of AAA but that is more because the rest of AAA is lazy cash grab garbage and less because of the game having strong narrative. I hope if I ever buy it that it is still good but it definitely looks like the story has been cut all over the place in order to be repackaged and resold as DLC.

Based on the Super Bunnyhop review, I wouldn't be surprised of Eidos Enix cut the beginning (and end) of the game completely, and are planning to sell it back to us as "missing link" DLC.

its not childish..its just very black and white conflict. well i mean that's fine since Deus ex is kinda a spin in the whole cyberpunk genre. Dunno, Blame it for the game length and unsatisfying ending guess.

Edit; okay i might sound vague, what i mean is that something is simply not there to make the game feel coherent and enganging.

There is going to be? Im already staying away from such games and only buy them on steam if they're 10 euro or less.

I still held on to the idea that at least some AAA titles are still meant for gamers like me but I am starting to realize that I am pretty much deluding myself.
I already no longer pre order game after learning the mistakes that can come with that, but now I do not even fervently watch games any more like I once used to do. (you did not want to be around me during the time Fallout New Vegas or each DLC was announced, I searched the internet for any new detail or screenshot that I could find, and I just kept talking about how much I wanted to play Dead Money for example)

The only game I currently want to have is Metroid Prime Federation Force, but only because I am a Metroid fan as I understand that that title is enjoyable at best but not the same as a real Metroid game.

I think I am going to open a thread at the end of the year in which we can all discuss our expectations of gaming releases and how they eventually turned out. I would like to find out how many enjoyed the games they waited for, were pleasantly surprised by titles they had previously ignored, and how disappointed they were about some titles they had put a lot of interest prior to their release.
 
Seems like the game has a bunch of issues related to transitions. I've had black screens (never CTD) when going from first person to takedown animation, from video cutscene playing to level change (going to the shooting range), etc.

Also have a graphical glitch causing a sort of hue around some faces. Most are perfectly fine, but some look like a lighting layer is floating above the skin instead of on it. Has only happened to random NPCs on the street/metro, never any important character.
 
Did anyone else completed the game? There's some questions bothering...
1.Marchenko is dead, so what's next then...
What's with the ILLUMINATI (aside from CONFIRMED)? Who built all these new experimental augs on Adam?
Why the fuck the story is 8-10 hours long? WTF after credits is going on? Where is the beginning and the end?
2.How did these experimental augs got on hands of some thugs and why Titan shield appeared on some random woman?
3.Is Michael McCann written out? His part of the music is too ambienty and no better than HR.

I have been hearing some bad things about the storyline, sufficient enough that I have decided to remove the game and wait until all the bugs have been resolved and when I perhaps have a more powerful PC.

This is really frustrating as it is now the second game of a franchise I used to love that I can not be bothered to finish right now. Because of bugs, hardware, limitations, of the fact the content and design is just not very good.

So far I find this one of the most suckiest years in gaming. (of course I have not looked at or tried out small releases)
Most of the major releases or releases in known franchises have been average/okay (Metroid Prime: Federation Force), to bad or at least titles that have divided the audience. (NMS, DE:MD)
I really hope there are a few surprises ahead of us before the end of the year because we don't have to rely on titles that have been announced a year in advance.
