Forum Overview :: Deus Ex 3 :: Re: It's such a fucking dumbass game with such a dumb story.

[quote name="fabio"][quote name="Gutsby"]When they wanted me to be surprised that the AI Hologram was an AI hologram I could hardly take it anymore. It's also one of the easiest games I've playied - stealth is just this contrived gameplay <i>thing</i> that seems to exist seperately from the rest of the game. All the hub and open world stuff was meaningless - a couple of blocks of real estate to do superfluous quests in, walking up and down the same stairway every ten minutes as they pad the length of the game.[/quote] Sounds like Deus Ex! I'm convinced there had to have been an A and B team when it came to the story. The A team did a bunch of brilliant stuff in the books, the emails, a couple background NPC conversations, and just the general setup. Anything related to the main plot was outsourced like it was a boss fight to the Square Enix B team dipping their jRPG dicks into the inkwell. The hologram was a hologram? The woman who was (regressive crappily) slugged in the stomach and carried away (like a bundle of yams) was still alive? Every boss intro cutscene. Every "debate" scene (I will pledge $50 to charity if anyone can come up with any logic to that mini-game). I'm hoping HR was a proof of concept that a Deus Ex game can be a big seller and we'll soon get the AAA sequel with graphics from this decade, a better story, and the empty desk of whoever came up with the candy bar battery system.[/quote]
