Here's me wishing that Splinter Cell & Deus Ex was part of this ride.. It's been so long!

Don't worry. They'll turn them into live-service games with repetitive content and immersion-breaking cosmetic micro-transactions. You'll grind through the same few stealth levels with some barely random enemy permutations marketed as "infinite open world content". Your coop partner will be someone dressed in red cargo shorts, a purple mohawk wig, and a weapon that has so many random attachments on it you can't figure out whether it's a microscope, a dildo, or a sniper rifle.

This comment is true for so many games nowadays it's getting annoying.
I got WWZ recently for some reason and holy shit.
It had been a while since I had regret buying a game.

Same. At least with Deus Ex I have some hope left. Iirc the studio (Eidos?) was sold by Square Enix and the new owner may have them work on a new Deus Ex.

If you like those kind of games it may also interest you that Dishonored 3 being planned was part of the leaks last week.
