Seriously though where's my open-city Deus Ex game.
The small but open cities in Human Revolution were great, we just needed more of them. Make the game more open world than that and you'll turn it into Watch Dogs.

I was thinking something like Dishonored, but with a single big hub city and lots of movement/exploration powers. Then you can have the linear plot, and also hide clues about the REAL conspiracy around the city. So you can actually explore to uncover the real truth.

Deadly P owns, but don't get it from Steam. Rising Star Games' port job of DP to PC crashes so much, so buyer beware.
There is DPfix, not unlike DSfix for Dark Souls, but it does not fix the crash to desktop issues Deadly P has on PC! :siren:

it'd be pretty cool to have a bunch of information never outright stated to you that you had to find yourself. there was some of that in HR but the conspiracy heavy setting would be perfect for a lot more of it

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. And Dishonored made HR's basic gameplay way more fun by giving you so many movement powers.

Sure, but Deus Ex would be able to do something new and interesting with the open world concept. Combine it with the hub city thing and have like 3-4 explorable small cities.

hmm we could make well designed and engaging separate areas which can have thought put into them and how you progress through them or we could make it into the 50th boring game which is in an open world for no good reason except for this checklist of things people apparently like

It's not a good action game, but everything else is great though and I think you'd miss out if you just watched a LP or something.

I think open world games are great because it is really cool to explore a fake place. I pre-reject the coming open world backlash.

So I just got Skyhold in Dragon Age and got the 3 trainer people and used up all my Power to do some quest that I can't remember. Everything I can do now seems like it will take a long time or involve harvesting poo poo so I'm just running around trying to get hot lovin from everyone. No takers yet, but Sera thinks I'm pretty :allears:

EDIT

Also I need more people to judge. Only had 1 so far. Wanna make some judgments.

Hit a brick wall at the point you're at. I need points to do anything and I don't feel like doing any of that poo poo to get them. 30 points to move the plot forward? gently caress that.

Close rifts and do fun quests you'll get way more power than you'll ever need. You can just do easy requisitions forever too

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


That game looks neat, but...can you also gently caress the alien species you find? If not, then I don't really see the lasting value of it.

No man's sky looks great and exploration does sound appealing in theory, but I'm not sure I can play that sort of game unless I can do something like eliminate an entire species.

Or destroy the whole ecosystem a planet and then peace on out to the next system.

Will there be guns in it?
