Adam Jensen

Improved Essays
Set two years after the events of Human Revolution, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided sees Adam Jensen return to a series that will undoubtedly have moral compasses spinning into overdrive.

Showcasing Jensen and his augmentations in full effect, every cinematic trailer or gameplay video for Human Revolution is looking very promising so far. As I sit here and watch these trailers, I can't help but be overcome by a strong sense of nostalgia, with my mind casting back to 2011, and the feelings I had playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution on PlayStation 3.

Left for dead after a terrorist attack on his employer Sarif Industries, Jensen undergoes life-saving operations to replace parts of his body with futuristic technology, saving him from death's door. Equipped with his

With the debates raging in my mind constantly, I kept wondering whether it mattered that Jensen had powerful upgrades and abilities, or if augmentation should even be allowed in the first place. Where the line was dawn was difficult to perceive, and as a result of these types of questions, Deus Ex Human Revolution was captivating.

By forcing you to decide how to best access different goals, Deus Ex: Human Revolution has an exemplary way of questioning your morals. There were no 'correct' ways to approach each mission, If you wanted to approach an objective by rushing in guns blazing you could, and if you wanted to sneak through each task as quietly as possible, the game gave you the freedom to do so.

Additionally, the sci-fi steampunk world, especially the black and gold colour template that blended everything together stylishly, was utterly stunning. Though, what sets this game apart from countless other graphically superb games, was not only the compelling story and lush graphical presentation, but also, the soundtrack. Composer Michael McCann created beautiful, futuristic sci-fi melodies that complemented the gorgeous visuals to

    In Adam Gopnik's article, “Get Smart,” he effectively evaluates true smartness of the machines of modern technology. Gopnik raises some good points to support the fact that machines are currently not as witty as human. For me, the most interesting point of the article is when Gopnik notes and then goes on to explain that the machines only have good memory but they cannot react to situations for which they are not prepared. Gopnik explains that the only reason a computer system named Watson won the jeopardy is that it has a huge data base to draw answers from.…

    1. Deontology is driven by the duty and righteousness of an action alone rather than the consequences. Deontologists argue that “morality is a matter of duty” (Lacewing 1) and the ethical theory can often be described as “duty-based” or “obligation-based” due to the fact that we are driven by the moral duty to do right based on a moral norm (Turner 7). This ethical theory argues the consequence or justification is irrelevant and determines an action to be right or wrong based on the action itself alone. Deontology differs from its opposing ethical theory Consequentialism, by stating that “right takes priority over good” (____).…

    Callum Watt 000873235-3 Soundtrack Analysis - Psycho In the clip that we are provided (known as “The Murder) we are given a very famous and influential scene from one of Alfred Hitchcock's most critically acclaimed films. Bernard Herrmann, the composer for the movie did a sensational soundtrack with a low budget, and even went against Hitchcock’s wishes of the score to be jazz based. With the low budget instead of using an entire orchestra Herrmann only used strings to create an arguably more tense and dark feel to the movie, Fred Steiner, in an analysis of the score to Psycho, points out that “string instruments gave Herrmann access to a wider range in tone, dynamics, and instrumental special effects than any other single instrumental group…

    As a historical drama, it revolves around events that happened in the past. Therefore, the special effects in this movie was not as prominent compared to a sci-fi movie. Most of the tracks included in the soundtrack were written by Alexandre Desplat, a French film composer. As a musician, I would say the most outstanding tracks were by Beethoven even if the movie only included one or two tracks of his work. The background music fit the scenes as perfect as a glove.…
