Hermits want Deus Ex: HR Director's Cut for free

I bought the whole shebang almost a year ago. Haven't even played it.

Sad they couldn't upgrade the copies... Instead of being greedy.

It's like how movie studio's do that with movies.

We usually get these kind of updates for free from out Superior developers.

Peasants, when will you learn?

The game is worth a play. The boss battles suck dong, but other than that, it's excellent.

It's true, most of us PC gamers do expect more for our buck. You can call us lazy, or you can say we're more vocal about defending our consumer rights than most console users are (keyword: most). I don't see why anyone would defend the multi-millionaire company trying to squeeze a few more thousand dollars by putting a fee on what is essentially a handful of fixes, and a much necessary change to the boss dynamics, along with some DLC. Then again, the most common opinion I've seen isn't one of anger that they're not releasing the patch for free, but rather that people will simply not purchase this content. Vote with your wallet, hrm? A shame we didn't (in general) take a stronger stance against DLC earlier, but that doesn't mean we need to bend over every couple of months for a few tweaks here and there.

In what demented world is something being stream-lined not a good thing? I think you need to actually learn the meanings of words before you talk. Because you obviously are confused.

Hermits have the strangest entitlements. Disclaimer: I own both PC and ps3 (double dipped to show my support) versions for deus ex hr. They should be glad that eidos is making money to keep deus ex alive.

This is the first time that outside of movies I know of in which the director's commentary is a feature that is sold separately from the original version of any particular media.

The only reason I would buy the director's cut of Deus Ex: Human Revolution would be to add it to my collection. If not for that, I would pass on it because I have already beaten the original version twice. Also, downloadable content aside, unless proven otherwise, changing boss fights is usually patch-worthy and this is no different. PC gaming has gotten that sort of treatment for years. It is only because of the influence consoles are having on the video game industry that this is even happening.

Seems like a legitimate argument. It's how I feel about some of the SF games.

Generally surprised that the game was not just updated with those updates. The Price they ask is very small, so it is not that I am hurting or anything financially I simply Wonder about why they decided on that route (well I guess I am the answer given that I just rebought it -.-)

@SNIPER4321:

No, Human Revolution STOMPS the original.

Lets not forget that the original game had some BAD flaws.....clunky gunplay, no sense of game balance whatsoever, poor pacing and full of filler, bad writing when it comes to dialogue and one dimensional characters, shockingly uncanny moments, bad voice acting, and a weak finale.

Hell, Invisible War may have lesser gameplay, but its far better written than the first game. Human Revolution stomps them both.

That isn't the definition of stream-lined. Also, DE:HR wasn't a QTE-fest. Are you seriously going to try and tell me the fact that you had to press a button in order to start a takedown means it's a QTE?

You can't compare HR to the original Deus Ex. They're NOT the same thing. They were made for different generations. And, frankly, DE:HR is still far more of a sophisticated game than anything else that has come out in recent years.

People still care about this overrated game? I'd rather play the first one again.

You just called it a QTE fest in the second post I quoted. Are you incapable of remembering what you've written? There it is, go ahead and re-read.

DE:HR will never be a PC exclusive ever again. Get over that fact and start enjoying games instead of being deluded.

Wall cover is realistic. I would expect someone trained to use cover. One button takedowns are realistic and necessary to not only ease gameplay, but to show how capable the character is. I don't want some stupid melee button that simply hits someone with the butt of whatever weapon I'm using. Why would more linearity, shorter missions, and an easier difficulty be good on the PC but not a console? What WORLD do you live in where anything you say even makes a modicum of sense?

And I very much doubt that you have.

To be fair, they're are selling the entire game as well as the DLC along with update. Doesn't seem that bad to me but I do agree they should update normal versions to the new one.

I had no idea the port was so crappy.
I'll stay away from this.

Ruined immersion? How does realism ruin immersion?

That isn't what you said. You said linearity, shorter missions, and an easier difficulty are good things. Either learn how to write english properly, or don't respond to people. Don't expect me to read your mind when you simply are incapable of making any sense.

Waaaaaah. Cry more about it. That seems to be all you're good for.

Hermits want everything for free.

You rather pay?

Depends on the game. Then again, I don't pirate every game that comes out so...

Seems console gamers are enjoying early releases of free games too. Like Assassin's Creed 4, Batman Arkham Origins and Battlefield 4.

No, you cry about the pettiest shit. Things that don't bother most people because they aren't important: "Oh man, I have to press a button to initiate a melee takedown?! That's BULLSHIT!" Then you try and pass it off as PC elitism. You aren't a PC elitist. You're a loser who thinks its edgy to talk about lowest common denominators, as if you even know what that means. Mainstream markets! Oh man! Watch out for those mainstream games that are always consolized and dumbed down! DEM CASUALS RUIN THE VIDEO GAME BUSINESS! Give me a break.

Thankfully you don't give PC gamers a bad name because you don't even rate. You're thought of as a nothing on this entire website. The only reason people read your posts is because they're hoping you say something against the ToU so they can try and get you banned. Or to laugh at you.

Can't wait to play the definitive version.

No, you most certainly aren't. You're the face of idiocy in SW.

Hah!

If that were the case, this PC of mine would fly right out the window... you're just a caricature of every bad trait related to the PC gaming community, and as such, a great source of laughs... :)

Almost everything you said has to do with the story. That's not what Deus Ex is about. Deus Ex is about choice in gameplay and no other game has come close to it in that area.

Did you even read my post?

Clunky gameplay and no sense of game balance whatsoever. But sorry, narrative IS part of Deus Ex as well and the original is the worst in the trilogy at narrative.

Considering owners of The Witcher 1 and The Witcher 2 got the Enhanced Edition for free, that's a pretty legitimate complain.

Hermits want everything free and everything now, now, now!

No.

Yes. And the gameplay is clunky and is kind of unbalanced. Doesn't change that there's a huge variety in the way you can play the game, more than any other game I've played. And I didn't care much about the story in Human Revolution or the original. It doesn't rank highly to me to what's important to most games.

You don't seem to understand that people can enjoy video games for reasons other than yours.

However, for all the great concept, the gameplay sucks.

What good is variety, when all the options are poorly done?Its a poor shooter, a broken stealth game, and an unbalanced RPG.

Human Revolution's gameplay is far better. It does Deus Ex better than Deus Ex.

I guess everyone should give their consumers the new version of every product. Oh you bought the iPhone 4? Okay you can get the iPhone 5 free then.

I can understand if DE:HR was originally a lackluster game, and the devs were just fixing it to a reasonable extent. But as far as I know, the original was a good game. So any "upgrades" aren't just making the game playable, they are adding to it. I don't see how it should be free. The devs afterall spent time on making it.

I haven't actually played the original or the director's cut. So what I said may be wrong and mislead. Just judging from what I've read. Sorry if I'm mistaken.

I would disagree - I think the whole "press a button to go into a pre-animated takedown" thing was not a good decision. It interrupts the flow of gameplay and takes control away from the player. Still, a minor complaint.

I don't see a problem with using a cover system, either. I guess you could make the argument that it's better to just let the player handle cover themselves manually, but if incorporated well in third-person shooters they can add a lot to the gameplay.

SNIPER is, of course, wrong as usual.

I´m certainly not gonna pay those 5€ for any patch or fix,regardless of how much I care for the game.

Agreed. Some commentary and better boss fights aren't enough to even put a tag on. Even if it was free, I don't think I would pick it up again unless I was specifically in the mood for it. I really enjoyed it, so it wouldn't take much to have me on board. Just a few more missions and an addition to some upgrades and it would have been worth it. But still not for $20.

Awesome game though. I played it on pc.
