Totally agreed. It doesn't seem to be a popular opinion among hardcore fans of the first game but I think Eidos are really doing a fantastic job with the franchise.
Sure, the games are flawed ("press a button to pick an ending", immersion breaking boss battles, game breaking launch day bugs, silly DLC and pre-order bonuses) but the world and story they've built are absolutely spot-on. People seem to be quick to forget that the original had its fair share of flaws as well.
- Paul_S 10y agoThere is also the generational difference in cultural references: G. K. Chesterton VS 4chan.
- AimHere 10y agoHaven't played the sequels yet (I'll probably grab Mankind Divided now it's on Linux), but I recall that something very like "press a button to pick an ending" was a prominent feature of the first Deus Ex. Then again, the original had a bunch of other little flaws, but none of them were really dealbreakers.
