Lol yep that's exactly where I quit. Was whining about it in the megathread last night and this morning

Playing the original deus ex now instead

spoilerThe dialogue is abysmal, he's a terrible antihero and they had his nonsensical anti-capitalist terrorist character come from a grunge band in a fucking cyberPUNK game. Noted anti-capitalist genre grunge rock, in 2023.

Also that 10 minutes of john wick sim in the interlude is some of the worst gameplay I've ever experienced in any video game I've ever played.

My take is the designers watched the press F to pay respects scene in cod and asked themselves how they could do something that banal but stretch it into an hour of gameplay.

Btw the rest of the story will be about him. The narrative arc feels pretty much lifted straight from a deus ex game and that's how they usually flow.
