Finished (and traded) Infamous Second Son, currently playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Copying my impressions from GAF. Really loving the game so far. It's about as good as Human Revolution was.
Started playing this, up till mission 7 so far. But have spent a good 8+ hours already, mostly hacking, looting/selling stuff and doing side quests. Here's my first impressions (PS4 Pro with the latest performance patch here).
- IQ looks great, but general art and incidental character models .. not so. The image quality and lighting is good but otherwise the game isn't exactly a looker.
- Spec-ing towards hacking and stealth is extremely fun, hacking and stealth-ing my way through the game so far. Haven't fired a single non-stun-gun bullet but keeping a shotgun and upgrading it routinely in case .. I like to keep it for close encounters.
- I read a lot about game having terrible load times but the Pro seems to load the game at a relatively snappy pace (maybe I'm used to The Witcher 3's load times). Comparing to the Giant Bomb quick look where they played the XB1 version, my game seems to load WAY faster than that.
- Most of my Praxis are going to the passive upgrades, the only active one I've got so far is a fully maxed out invisibility .. which feels like cheating at times honestly .. cause you can just stroll through laser grids etc.
- I absolutely love that you can go through the entire (or half of) Prague without any extra loads, going in and out of buildings, that massive bank, your HQ etc. Sure, the side effect is the hitching whenever the game's streaming data .. but it's better than the Human Revolution style load times. Also, frame rate, aside from those streaming hitches, has been absolutely rock solid so far. The earlier DF videos where they kept focusing on a frame drop in the Dubai elevator never happened to me. Thanks SE for patching it.
- Speaking of, the Human Revolution control scheme seems to suit stealth best, or at least that's what I'm getting the most use out of. I tried with the default scheme but sprint at triangle is extremely bizarre.
Anyway .. so far I'm very happy with the game so far, some of the side missions have been far more entertaining than the main quest so far.
