IMHO this game was glitchy from the start because it was overly ambitious (way too many moving objects). That said, I've been playing both the PS4 version as well as the nextGen version on my PS5 and can confirm that 1.5 is a huge improvement. BTW, I noticed all kinds of cool new details like the physical resistance on my L2 + R2 hand controls, etc.

This game is an unexpected surprise. While showing how robots and AIs are becoming more human-like, actual humans are looking very shoddy indeed.

@regix416_basic: I am not certain why the sales of "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided" were not large outside of Europe (it was the best-selling retail game in the UK in its week of release) so perhaps its release was eclipsed by another AAA release (there is only so much money to go around). But I just (Mar-2018) finished buying/playing all the DLCs and was very impressed by the story-line and experience.

I don't want to knock the beautiful graphics found in the last 3 Assassin's Creed games BUT I get a bigger kick out of playing Deus Ex Mankind Divided (the story line is a little more interesting than kill this or kill that). Now I should point I that I have never buy DLC (extra missions and the like) for any game but for the past month SQUARE ENIX has been running deals on SONY's Playstore so I bought all the extra missions for a reasonably low price. What a treat. "Criminal Past" alone was worth the price. "Desperate Measures" was a little shorter but also kinda cool. Anyway, there must be something in the Montreal drinking water with so many neat gaming products coming from there :-)

This game is head-and-sholders better than many claim. Putting aside the few technical glitches which Ubisoft will fix, the graphics are stunning, story mode and side missions will most likely provide more than 100 hours of entertainment, and it is more of an interactive movie than a game. On top of all this, I am certain some Americans will be perplexed as to why the American Statue of Liberty is sitting under a scaffold in France.

This game is a lot better than 6; maybe 7.9 or 8. It is best played with the lights off but it will scare the crap out of you! (I used store credit after returning Destiny to make this purchase and never regretted buying this one). Warning: This is a survival game and you need to use your wits. For example, I wasted a bunch of time getting around a fire only to realize that you log into a nearby computer to kill the flow of gas to that section.

This is a very smart move. Use your PS3 media to unlock a PS4 download version of the same title. It will also ensure that PS3 game sales aren't hurt between now and November. (as an aside, some of the Asian manufacturing sites in China and Taiwan claim that Sony will continue to develop and manufacture PS3 platforms for a few years to come but I do not think they will be sold in Europe or the Americas).
