Deus Ex: Mankind Divided [PS4/Xbox One/PC]

Yup, good demo. Things I didn't like: the dashing from cover to cover animation; the "stun 4 people" ability seems OP; I can't play the game yet.

along with the jetpack teleport looking ability. I'm afraid Jensen might be too overpowered like Dishonored. These abilities probably cost a bunch of praxis points though and we shouldn't be able to unlock all of em
 
I loved the demo but Jensen seemed a bit overpowered.

Well they are showing off all the new augmentations and weapons with unlimited power and health in an environment which takes place early game. Most of those augs will still be locked in normal playthrough.

I still hate that "batman vision" though. A cancer that affects far too many games.
 
Yea some of the powers did look straight up a little too powerful. However I felt, for the most part, HR was balanced extremely well, and I've got enough faith in EM that they'll get the balance right again.

The biggest issue with shit like Batman/Eagle Vision & Witcher Senses is when it's forced. At least HR did it right where it was merely an option, and an option that in reality was pretty fucking stupid considering you had to waste a Praxis for it when there's far better skills to use your points on.
Hopefully in MD it is still contained to just being that optional upgrade for people casual enough to actually want it. Have to wait and see though.
 
Looks like a lot of fun. I've been waiting a long time to play DE:HR for the first, and this just awakened that urge.

In stealth games at a certain point I just tend to lose patience and end up butchering people. It happened in the first DE in Area 51. I just massacred people with my pistol. But I understand that in DE:HR a stealth approach is better in terms of XP? Or stealth takedowns? Can't quite remember.

Also, anyone know some video or site to refresh the DE story before I play DE:HR? (Yeah, I know that HR takes place decades before DE1)
 
I'm seeing the over powered aspect as well. The auto run-to-cover mechanic, blinking to ledges and Jensen shooting dozens of blades out of his arm seem not only OP but the latter two clash with the high realism Human Revolution established. It's a shame because everything else looks fantastic.

If you spare enemies you gain more XP though I don't remember if you get more XP if you don't even hit any enemy and walk by unnoticed.

And Stealth is the best way to play the game.

Watch this trailer, keep in mind most of what is in it doesn't actually happen in the game, but yeah ... It's awesome.

Sigh, this is the exact same reason I didn't get MK (which was a mess on PC) and Batman (... which was a mess on PC) early. Huh, I guess I should be grateful...

Anyway, guess I'll be giving DE the same treatment.
