That's definitely worth it for the DLC's.

just finished criminal past I bought in the steam sale and I am super impressed. One of the best levels in the franchise. Now with one year distance and this refresher, I also think that Mankind Divided is my favourite stealth game ever. I just love how it plays, how in control you are, but still challenges you, especially if you play stealth/nonlethal, how everything feels right, immersive and rewarding.
I just saw there was another Jensen Story, I thought there were just 2. Is System Rift good as well?
If you own most of the Deus Ex games, it's even cheaper. I have everything except The Fall and the MD season pass, and it's 6,63 for me to complete the collection.
But I'm still not sure whether to buy it or not. The Fall is apparently an utter shitfest and I have a feeling the MD season pass content is awfully underwhelming. So even less than 7 for both hasn't convinced me yet.

So I finally beat this, before I get to how I feel,I want to say Human Revolution was the first Dues Ex game I played and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a major surprise for me.
I was pumped for the sequel when it got announced, but as near it's release date was a busy busy time for me. It came out when I was on my honeymoon in Hawaii and after listing to the bombcast talk about it and reading reviews, I knew it was good but just more of the same as the first one. I somewhat lost interest.
Fast forward to 2 weeks ago when it goes on sale on Xbox live for $15, I decided to jump in. I knew I would like the game, as I do, but it truly was more of the same. There wasn't really anything new to it. But as they say, don't try to fix something that's not broken.
As much as I like the game, my biggest compliant is the boring story. It was just uninspiring and bland. The last one I feel like told a better story and the boss characters sort of gave is some flavor. I couldn't tell you what this one was about, it wasn't convoluted but just boring. I rather it had a stronger focus on why Jensens has new augs and what happened to him between this and the last one. That would of been a more interesting story.
Final after credit cut-scene was very interesting. Are we to believe Jensen isn't who he thinks he is? And why is Elizabeth with the illuminati!!? These ideas and questions are so much more interesting than the story they gave us.
Agreed on the story. The entire game feels like a first chapter. There's little to to resolution to plot threads, in fact it only adds more mystery and intruige and then slams the door and says "SEE YOU IN THE NEXT GAME".
Even several side-quests lack a proper ending. It's such a bizarre way to handle a narrative-driven game.
I can only assume that they firmly believed they would get the go ahead for sequels but, as we now know, they aren't. Such a shame. Whilst I did prefer Human Revolution by quite a margin to Mankind Divided, I still thought it was a great game. I played both System Rift and Criminal Past and enjoyed both a lot - preferred Criminal Past like most here.
Probably my most beloved franchise is lost now. Sigh.
Every time I see this thread bumped, it's just depressing to me because of how much potential this series could've had moving forward. But there are no promising signs of that at all right now.
