Why did this game have so much contempt for the continuity of the original game? It feels more like a reboot than a prequel.

why do you care about the story in deus ex? It's a joke story.

It's actually based more on invisible war than the original and it shows.

Does that answer your fucking question?

I know that you talking about Deus Ex but do you expect to happen to old IPs taken from their creators?

It's a preboot, it's Deus Ex Babies, it's Young Deus Ex.
I think it was mostly incompetence, they shouldn't have tried to make Adam such a recognised face, like having his mug on the cover of this (and that other abortion they barfed up) as their 'kewl guy' stole too much focus from the tangled web of lies and shit he's supposed to be navigating.
I bought the original Deus Ex on a whim because I liked the blurb on the back of box, JC looked like a deranged carved potato with sunglasses on in the game but he was a world hopping, conspiracy uncovering, ATM hacking badass deranged carved potato with sunglasses on and we duly loved him for it. Adam comes off as simultaneously no-one (much like Alex in Invisible War) and yet somehow pivotal simply because he's fresh out of being Robocopped.
Didn't they lump another team with boss fights or something? Were they way behind or rushing it at that point? Madness either way and of course the less said about the ending the better, that leaves a sour taste reminiscent of Mass Effect 3.
