It should get you medium high considering the minimum they recommend is a 660. You're two generations above that.

 

As for the drive space requirement it seems about right for a new game these days. 40-50gb is what I would have expected.

I don't know, when I was looking at the 960 benches it seemed barely better than a 760, which is a jump from the 660 but...disappointing.  we'll see

Anyone started preloading this yet? Any words on how much data would be downloaded (not install size but "download" size)?

The first part of the preload is 20GB apparently, but I imagine there'll be more added to it later.

Great I just hope that this will be on DVD...

Review scores seem to be pretty good. *adds to Steam wishlist*

Decent gameplay so far from what I've played, performance on console is terrible though (dips as low as 20fps in several places and slow load times):

From what I've heard, it's not much better on PCs: http://www.pcgamer.com/deus-ex-mankind-divideds-pc-port-suffers-technical-issues-backlash-over-pre-order-bonuses-devs-working-on-fix/

And to top things off, they've crammed in a game mode - Breach - that is full of microtransactions: http://www.thejimquisition.com/mankind-divideds-breach-mode-is-designed-to-divide-you-from-your-money/

Perf is fine on PC if you use appropriate settings

So far I like the game but I've been feeling too tired to get really into it.

Ok, I must be stupid because I cannot figure out how to get back to Adams apartment.  In Prague/Palisade now.

I made a topic: http://steamcommunity.com/app/337000/discussions/0/352792037315695858/ but yeah the game been running very well for me heck I didn't even have the download issues that others have reported, I must be lucky.

Oh, and also, the video's NSFW, but you already know that; it's Jim ######## Sterling, son.

What's he whining about now?  If it's the cheats you can buy or packs you can buy in Breach but earn often, who even cares?  If people want to spend their money on them that's fine, but nobody actually needs to.

Nope, it's not that, although Breach gets briefly mentioned.

It shows how greedy Square Enix are, though, that they'd shoehorn microtransactions into a game that was designed without them in mind.

 

Jim put out a follow-up video overnight that has some pretty interesting details from someone at Eidos Montreal who was involved in the game's development. Regardless of your stance on microtransactions, it's well worth watching.

He hasn't been worth watching yet, so I'll pass.

I think this about sums it up.

I have yet to see a Youtube celebrity worth wasting my time on.

Why did you even ask what he's talking about and provide a counter-argument to what you think he said in the video, if he's not worth wasting your time on? Seems rather contradictory.

Because I wasn't about to watch the video, obviously.  I'm wasting my time on you guys, not him.

What was the point of "If it's the cheats you can buy or packs you can buy in Breach but earn often, who even cares?  If people want to spend their money on them that's fine, but nobody actually needs to." if you had no intention on seeing the video or waiting for someone to tell you what it was about? It's obvious you have something against him, but at this point, it looks like you enjoy wasting time on your make-believe.

Every time everyone has brought him up, with few exceptions, it's been about something stupid.  So sure, I have something against people who post pointless drivel as gospel.

You'd first have to know what he's talking about for this argument to work, otherwise it's just your make-believe again. How do you know this wasn't one of those exceptions?

 

Anyway, that question was rhetorical and as much as I like pointing out your straw-man, this topic isn't about Jim Sterling. If you want to talk about what he actually says of the game and its development process, then continue by all means, otherwise, we'd better drop it.

 

And just so you know, I'm not some fanboy of his, it just happens that we agree on the expanding role of microtransactions in full priced games, Mankind Divided in particular as it is a single player game.
