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

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.

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 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.

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
