Important Note: Your previous saves don't carry over into the Director's Cut due to the integration of the DLC titled Missing Link. Be warned that if you're at a personal point of no return then you may wish to hold off on getting this version. An amazing redux of the original title it does have its flaws. The first of which being that the implimentation of integrating the DLC mission was rather poorly handled and its entirely possible to accidentally leave your guns and even Praxis (the upgrades to augmentations) points behind without meaning to as I had nearly done this had I not gone actively looking for them. For those curious, they're to the left at the end of the mission before getting onto the boat but positioned as such that it can completely escape the eye when crossing by it. There is also NO balancing for New Game Plus. You don't get to carry over your weapons (why?) but your augmentations carry over, which is an odd choice since by the end of the game even a casual player can almost peak out the character and almost break the game when launching into a new game, which wouldn't have been the same had inventory carried over as weapons and items don't have quite the same effect on gameplay that some of the augmentations do leading to some awkward moments where you've long since passed an area and the dialog is minutes behind on registering because you're flying through levels faster than anticipated. The graphics did get a neat little boost, but having come from playing the original version straight to the new one, its hard to really tell unless you know exactly what you're looking for. Lighting effects are perhaps the most noteable and easiest to miss unless you're familiar with specific areas of the game that would have otherwise been completely overlooked. Boss fights are perhaps the most changed out of everything since there are now alternate ways to take out a boss rather than resorting to using up your ammo or praying you outdamage them. They're still rather frustrating however as their AI hasn't really been modified to accept these changes in level design leading to a rather awkward moment where the Boss paces in just a small area attempting to find you in a room they are completely unfamiliar with, or have to rely solely on bull rushing to get to you before you're able to hack a panel. Overall though the game still stands up, but if you're looking for an amazing Cyber Punk experience and don't mind some dated graphics, seek out the original Deus Ex as it has the most in terms of balance, but for the modern era of gaming there really isn't an experience like Human Revolution.Show moreShow less

One step forward, two steps back. Deus Ex: Human Revolution was a good game; a bit flawed, but a great experience overall. This is essentially a glorified (and badly-executed) patch/cash grab, which reworks a few things (mainly boss fights and DLC integration), but breaks a lot of things that were already fixed in patches. The reworked boss fights are great, especially for those who prefer the stealth/non-lethal approach and had trouble dealing with the bosses in the original version. The Missing Link DLC's integrated into the game now, though it still feels disjointed, and an option to skip it or launch it from the menu instead of having to go through it on every playthrough would have been nice. Unfortunately, in everything else, this "ultimate" edition of the game falls flat on its face compared to the original DXHR. Performance is worse, the game takes up nearly twice as much space (18.2 GB vs 10.6 GB for the original + DLC) for no apparent reason, and bugs that were fixed in the original version are back, along with some that weren't even in the original release (look here for a list: http://steamcommunity.com/app/238010/discussions/0/810939350891608249/), lending credence to the idea that they used an older build of the game for development. The much-complained-about gold tint's gone, but I'm not certain that change was intentional, because post-processing (which includes the gold filter) simply does not work. Depth of field doesn't work either, and a lot of the textures have problems appearing correctly. I've uploaded a few comparison screenshots here so you can see the graphical issues I'm talking about: http://imgur.com/a/AjaRg If you don't own Human Revolution yet, find a retail copy of the original if you can; it's not available on the Steam store anymore. You'll miss out on the DLC, but at least you won't have to play through a bug-infested main game. If you already have the original, don't bother buying this unless you _really_ want to see the updated boss fights, do a New Game+ playthrough (you'll have to start from the beginning, though; saves from the original don't carry over), and/or listen to the developer's commentary, because that's all the Director's Cut really has to offer. EDIT 2014-03-29: kamil950 shares that while the original game's been removed from the Steam store, other digital stores still have the standard edition + DLCs which can be activated on Steam.

!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME !!! Director's Cut is a scam. The game uses an old version of the original game, which means it has all the bugs that were patched years ago in THE ORIGINAL GAME! Only handful were fixed in DC. In addition to the new bugs players have found, this version also seems to have downgraded graphics, such as low quality SSAO, broken Post Processing, streched textures, missing colors etc. Game's forums on Steam and on Eidos site shows no one in the company - including moderates - care about this game. Steam discussions page shows at least 144 unfixed, missing features/bugs for this game. The only "enhancement" in this version is the toned down yellow tint a.k.a. piss filter, which IMO was too much in some areas of the original game. It's an artistic question. I personally prefer it off just because I have finished the game and found it hiding details in otherwise dated looking game. I also like more vibrant colors in general. They could've just toned it down in the areas where it was too much, not in the whole game. There should've been at least an option to turn it back on if desired. If you like the toned down yellow tint in DC, you are better off with the original as you get far better results by trying out different SweetFX profiles. To people who own the original and TML: Play those instead. You save HDD/SSD space, have the best bug-free experience with less chance to get graphical glitches. Yes, the boss battles were questionable, but you are only missing slightly more open areas in boss battles that were probably done by some trainee in one weekend anyway. To people who don't own the original nor TML: Find a boxed copy on your local store's bargain bin or get an activation code for Steam from a legitimate cd-key market site. Don't worry about TML (The Missing Link). It's like the fourth episode in Duke Nukem 3D. Unnecessary. Just a nice extra. TML only explains "three days in statis" and is attached to the main story in DC. There was no need for explanation really. I didn't even notice days were passed at that point of the game. You can get a key for TML online, e.g. Amazon if you really want.Show moreShow less

Basic DXHR playstyle: 1. Find an enemy 2. Try to gun him down 3. Realize that theres like 30 other guys that you missed and are now shooting at you from 20 different directions 4. Run the ♥♥♥♥ for your life 5. After youve found a considerable safe spot, weep for a few seconds while panicking over the millions of possible ways you might die as you regenerate 6. Remember that theres still a fight going on 7. Grow a pair and try to confront them all at once like a badass 8. Die miserably 9. Respawn and stay in your previous safe spot and wait for them to come get the bait 10. When they fall for the bait, gun them down or use a takedown, repeat steps 1 - 10 (hopefully avoiding step number 8 if you already got the hang of it) 11. Keep repeating steps 1 - 10 until you meet up with a boss 12. Panic and run the ♥♥♥♥ for your life because you have just entered a boss fight without knowing there was going to be a boss fight and you were probably not even prepared for this and you probably didnt ask for this 13. Realize that theres about 100 powerful weapons (or 1,000 regular weapons) with enough ammo conveniently placed there because even if you didt prepare for the boss fight the game lets you prepare for the boss fight in the middle of the boss fight 14. Kill the boss and realize that all your panic and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for this boss fight was unnecessary since the boss fights here are honestly so easy they feel like overly dramatic tutorials on how to run for your life and shoot while doing such 15. I forgot to mention that youre probably going to be talking and making desicions based on morale more than you will be shooting or playing in this game. 16. Repeat steps 1 - 15 until youre halfway into the game 17. Start arguing with politicians, millionares, scientists, and even your own boss and discover that you're litterally fighting the Illuminati 18. After youre done arguing over the upcoming genocide continue along with the used-to-be-DLC-but-was-included-in-this-version-of-the-game-at-the-same-price-of-the-original-game-and-now-feels-like-a-fundamental-part-of-the-game-anyways part of the game, as in: The Missing Link 19. Youre on the boat without your augs or weapons so you feel helpless at this point. 20. Get released, from your "prison" and do a process similar to steps 1 - 9, only this time youll initially rely alot on takedowns since you bareley find ammo for the guns you find 21. Get your augs and weapons back, and get pissed off over the fact that you dont get all your praxis points back for all your augs 22. Continue with The Missing Link *insert spoilers here* 23. Youre probably at the near end of the game after you finish the used-to-be-DLC-but-was-included-in-this-version-of-the-game-at-the-same-price-of-the-original-game-and-now-feels-like-a-fundamental-part-of-the-game-anyways part of the game so, Congratulations! 24. Final boss fights and end-game parts, just stick to your thing, but only this time theres a whole lot of nightmare fuel in this, the more you progress, the more things youll need to change since you probably ♥♥♥♥ them because of the nightmare fuel 25. Finish the game, no matter what choice you make at the end your mind, your way of seeing things, especially humanitys relations with Technology in the future, are all ♥♥♥♥♥♥, really, really, hard... (edit: you also become a sort of a technophobe for at least 30 minutes because of this) 26. Stare at your computer screen while saying "What the ♥♥♥♥ just happened..." or "What the ♥♥♥♥ did I just do..." for as long as the credits last *I have absoluteley no idea if this should be considered a spoiler or not but what the hell, you decided to read this anyways which is pretty impressive if youve made it this far considering all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this, especially since im writing this in the middle of the night* 27. Watch the "surprise ending" at the end of the credits and yell out "I WANT A SEQUEL, I NEED A SEQUEL, IF THERES NO SEQUEL I WILL DIE" for about an hour or so and get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over how this just might connect with the original Deus Ex, just about as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as one can get with Bioshock Infinites ending and its relations with the original Bioshock, but thats a whole 'nother story or as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as on how the worlds of Portal and Half-Life are supposedly the same. 28. Never sleep again. Or thats just my personal experience 10/10 would get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, get scared to death, and augumented again even though I never asked for this.Show moreShow less

Let's get it out of the way : Deus Ex Human Revolution is a masterpiece, easily one of the 10 best games ever made in the history of video games. If you can get your hands on a NON director's cut version, by all mean do yourself a favour and play that. However, I do not recommend the Director's Cut edition, for a simple reason : technically, it's a mess, one of the worst botch job ever. I heard they somehow managed to lose the code of the proper Human Revolution PC game with its updates, and had to work from the WiiU version to create the DC edition. True or not, it certainly is believable considering how blurry the textures are compared to the original game, how inferior the lighting and bloom are, and generally speaking how the whole game feels like playing an almost finished beta version of the original instead of an upgrade. Honest, I had to check my settings because I thought I was playing at a lower resolution. It's murky, and not just slightly so. Oh, and of course there are some stuttering issues, even on a rig far more than capable of running it. Even worse is the fact the game was abandonned the moment it was out. DC edition has the version number 2.0.0.0, meaning it was NEVER updated. You have bugs that didn't exist in the original game, or at least had been fixed. And then you have bugs pertaining to the content that was was added, as it should have been in the first place, but poorly so. For instance, The Missing Link used to be standalone, so there was no question about what gear you had when you arrived there and what gear you would have when leaving. With it streamlined into the main game, they included the possibility to recover all your weapons shortly after escaping, and the rest of your stuff later on. ALL your weapons ? Not quite. Apparently the job was done by an intern on their first week of coding ever. The silenced sniper rifle isn't included in the recovery list. Gotta love upgrading a weapon only to lose it forever. There are also some issues like guards ALWAYS knowing exactly where you are even though you shot their buddy from a mile away with your silenced sniper, body glitching through the environment and thus being impossible to hide, and so on. And if you try to launch the game while offline, it will not tell you you can't, it will just crash at launch with a runtime error. Then, the boss battles. They were the ONE flaw in the original game, they remain a wart. First boss seems even more stupid as he doesn't seem to know how to climb a ladder or check what's going on when a door mysteriously opens. Second boss "workaround" to avoid fighting her directly involves VERY long and VERY tight corridors in which you can't really dodge. She always knows where you are, and she's invisible. In the original game I beat her on first try, even though I was playing a stealthy character. There, took me about 10 tries, because I insisted on trying the alternate method, wich ended up being FAR more dangerous. No idea what the third boss is like, I didn't have the patience to get there. I never asked for this. Gonna replay the original instead.Show moreShow less
