Having beaten The Fall and working on a review for it, I'm in the mood for some Deus Ex that the New Game Plus isn't satisfying.

I have previously owned and played Human Revolution on 360, until I reached a point where I couldn't continue my full stealth with no kill run because I lacked any EMP grenades for a robot (resulting in a rage quit since my saves didn't offer me a chance to get one). I'll have to remember to keep one for saving the pilot when replaying.

At any rate, I have the original release with all three DLCs and the Director's Cut release. I'm indecisive over which version to use.

  • As someone who prefers to go full stealth, the boss battles in the original version were a major problem for me when it came to progressing the story. I did a lot of reloading for the battles I did on the 360. The Director's Cut has offered stealth alternatives for these battles, a major reason I'm considering this version.
  • The game size isn't so tempting, with DC taking 18GB compared to 8GB for the original + 2GB for The Missing Link. I can probably push the 18GB this month, but then I'll need to be thrifty with data use for the rest of the month.
  • DLC is something I'm interested in. The extra boost from the pre order bonus DLCs would help early on, but then The Missing Link is a separate section of gameplay, while DC includes it as part of the main game. Does DC have the other two DLCs in there for the extra bonuses, or does it act like the original game with no DLCs?
  • I will be playing with gamepad. I assume both versions have full support for the 360 gamepad, but since I'm here to get information on version, I might as well ask about this.
  • Command line cheating is unlikely, but since I've done a fair bit already and can't just load my 360 save, I wouldn't mind having this option. Does either version support it?
  • I understand that the DC version is said to be unstable in comparison with the original due to some lackluster porting. I'm wondering how serious the problems are. Playable with some visual and audio errors, going to break down and be impossible to play, or somewhere in the middle? I'm quite willing to deal with some faulty texture work to avoid the agony of boss battles, if I have to make a choice there.
  • If mods exist to offer the DC improvements within the original release, I will be highly interested in hearing of them.

Right, you guys get convincing.


And yes, I have another new avatar, this time a football / soccer themed one. Enjoy.

Free bump for you. There is a question bombardment for sure. I hope you'll get your answer soon.

  • Even if the stealth options for such battles are basic, it beats dying 50 times until I get lucky.
  • Meh on such content, really.
  • That extra cash would have been nice, just to buy some extra augmentations early on or some such. The rest isn't a problem.
  • Even normally my hands don't deal well with keyboard gaming, but the cold weather makes things worse. I imagine its fully supported in both anyway.
  • Thanks for the cheat tools. That should speed things up.
  • Good to know the problems aren't that significant.
  • Well, might not need them anyway, beyond the saved space.

Thanks for the answers.

I only died a couple of times in the first battle, the one with the redneck cyborg, the chick and the Russian were a piece of cake. It's annoying for the ones that went totally true stealth and weren't carrying some firearms, but otherwise the boss fights in human revolution aren't that big a deal.

I had a taser for cameras, and used takedowns for humans. I was doing no kills and was selling guns.

those bloody robots and their fucking explosions man...
i was doing the great peaceful stealthy non-killig playtrough... fuck, i even save her (you know who)! i was "good guy Jensen"... apparently, someone died (once i had to restart because one of the stupid soldiers kill himself with a explosive barrel, somehow)... of course i find that at the end, when the achievement didn't pop up.
/rant
sorry for that.

Such happened to friends of mine. :P

And the pilot, or someone else? I got stuck wanting to save the pilot, but unable to do anything about the robot doing heavy damage to the chopper.

Pretty sure I had cloaking at that point, but the chopper health was going down too fast, and I didn't keep EMPs, since previously I would avoid the bots or shut them down at security consoles.

i used tazers too, first i snipe everyone i could with the tranq dart gun, then full cloaking and takedowns. apparently i forget the EMPs.

yes, the pilot, i save her, destroying both fucking robots, their explosion probably killed a solider. but i managed to save her going non lethal (at least i though that) and in the hardest difficulty. it was a pain in the ass :( .
