no shit it wasn't 'that bad', do you not remember how Ganker vehemently shit all over this game until that demo got leaked and suddenly everyone changed their tune after they realized it was pretty a pretty faithful sequel?
On the other hand, JC was a bioengineered clone, his augs being developed in times when universal constructor could build things from singular atoms. Though I'm not sure if anon is right on jensen having stronger augs than denton, I think DX1 augs were simply less flashy. In DX1, there were no cutscenes with throwing mini bombs around, but jumping twenty meters in the air and then taking out an armored mech in one sword hit with strengthened arms seems rather OP to me
JC has to pick between two options for some of his augs while Adam can activate everything. Armor or EMP hardening for JC while Adam can level both. Again this is just a gameplay contrivance based on the year each game came out (permanent power ups for the older game, a skill tree with skill points for the newer game) but I can see why people think Adam is more powerful
Some of that is just gameplay intruding on the setting but Adam is also extremely obviously augmented while JC is capable of infiltration if he wasn't so autistic.
I thought it's universally agreed upon that it was good. Endgame section was more on the meh side, but all in all, dxhr was very well received and I'm pretty sure it still holds on even today.
It was ok. I feel like the power of your character is wasted though because it feels objectively right to be stealth maxxing and, outside of the overpowered invisibility power, the other powers were kind of worthless.
The story was. Not as bad as le aug racism story in MD. Just replayed it and holy shit is it ever cringe. Realistically, this would never ever happen. If augmentations became readily and commercially available, there's no way people would start being like "augs arent human", CLANKS! And start dividing them into designated waiting areas on the train station, just because someone has a metal arm. Even with the aug incident in mind, it's such a disgustingly hamfisted way of being allegorical. Think of how good MD couldve been with more Bob Page and bringing down the illuminati. I remember the side mission where you break into the bank for samizdat, and you expose news media for covering up a plane crash. Kino.
No one ever said it was
It wasn't that good either
It was very good, calling it "not that bad" or "not that good" is still contrarianism.
It was great, in fact

Sounds like modern Ganker
Mankind Divided was kino too despite the augs lives matter and abrupt ending
Objective modern imsim ranking
Prey > DH > DH2 > MD > HR
whats dh
Dishonored
you forgot the system shock remake
no way Human Rev is worse than Mankind divided
yeah it was pretty universally praised as a decent game here when it came out. You're not gonna revision that.
It SHITS on Cyberpunk 2077, like hugely, just takes a fat dump on it. Also everyone liked it when it came out
Also this. I would rather MD than Cybersucc. It's unreal.
One thing I'll say that seems odd to me is that Jensen has more powerful abilities than JC, which makes no sense.
jensen had all of his limbs ripped apart and a cavity in his chest that they filled with the top level experimental augments

Too linear

yeah it was revolutionary bad
They're cool games if you can accept that violence/chaos is objectively the wrong way to play, and intentionally unfun.

TELL EM... TELL EM BARRET SENT YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL

Ya. I didn't understand what the story for MD actually... well did, for the narrative. I still thought it was a good stealth action game.
4/10 game, possibly one of the most disappointing games of all time
JC might have nanomachines son but Adam has a body made of chrome and fists of steel.
It was Ganker's GOTY in 2012. Of course it wasn't bad
