New purchase (if you don’t already have the game): £12.99/€19.99/$19.99
Own the basic game (with no DLC): £6.99/€7.99/$9.99
Own the game and Missing Link DLC: £3.49/€3.99/$4.99
I'm hoping for an upgrade sale when it's released.
Then again, I'm also hoping to buy a new graphics card soon, and somehow that isn't happening because of reasons :/

It has a different id so its more than likely adding to your library. I'm guessing they'll pill the original from sale since DC is cheaper just like they often do when a game gets a GOTY release.

It's a different game not just content patched in. Contact Steam and ask them to remove it if it bothers you so much but if they just come along and deleting parts of peoples libraries tere'll be more than shit hitting the fan

Game collectors for a start, achievement hunters. Coming from the 360 to the PC I can fully understand people who want to get the achievements in multiple versions/regional releases of a game, even mpore so when its actually a game they like. Or maybe one day I'll just want to do a DLC playthrough without having to downlaod the whole game.
In any case I bought the game and any removal should be opt-in and not automatic or opt out

Despite the fact that 5 bucks for a basic patch is a rip off (this doesn't add any thing, only 'new game+' and less stupid boss system ; the witcher 1 & 2 enhanced edition added 100 times more content for 0$, let's talk about respect for gamers), they got a point with the pricing, owners of a base game should not pay 100% of the facking goty or whatever shit it's called ! Look at Skyrim and Dishonored, for the base game owners, the DLCs alone cost more than the goty but the goty make you pay the base game for the second time, it's not acceptable, Bethesda is a serial ass rapist, they're saying to the early buyers "you bought our game at the beginning ? Well, fuck you !", and therefore, I will never buy the DLC nor the GOTY for those 2 games...

Well, you can't compare anything to Witcher really, those CDP guys are saints. And this 5 dollar patch of yours sounds really fair to me. "...the game will also offer hours of developer commentaries, a New Game+ mode, achievements, a fully interactive in-game guide along with gameplay tweaks like improved A.I., overhauled boss fights, refined game balance and combat and visual improvements." Asking anything less is going to cost them money and they aren't a charity. If you don't want to pay, then don't get it.

"New game+, improved AI, overhauled boss fights, refined game balance and combat and visual improvements." << that's a patch and a light one... The audio commentary is just an excuse to make you pay for this, I just want the patch.
Don't worry, I won't buy it, the thing is every time some company makes a move like this, too many people pay without thinking about the consequence and few years later, it becomes a standard, like DLC, microtransaction, paid online (console only though)... If Square Enix sees that people are willing to pay 5$ for a patch, be ready to pay patch for all their incoming games. And in few years, we'll be happy when someone releases a free patch, awesome...

I agree. I own the base game + the missing link DLC. 4€ for some changes with bosses fights, and integration of the missing link in the base game, it feels exactly like paying for a patch.
Too bad for an editor who made such a good-designed game.
My 2 cents.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just consider it as GOTY edition of Deus Ex with some updates.
From what I know, If you have base game + the missing link dlc, you will pay less for the upgrade from normal version to director's cut (it's around 4€), if you have just the game without the dlc you will pay 7€ for it.

This is bugging me... I have the base game, missing link and those 2 small dlc's (explosive & tactical) and I haven't played it at all yet, and here they want me to pay again to have the full game when I finally come around to playing it :-/.

You've already got the full game, you don't have to pay for anything

I hope you are right, I'm looking forward to those gameplay improvements in the directors cut.
Comment has been collapsed.
You'll only have to pay a small price to acquire the Director's Cut edition since you already have the game + The Missing Link.
You don't have to pay anything if you want to stick with the original game.
Comment has been collapsed.
In this case I lost money on explosive & tactical dlc's, since there won't be any price drop for having those and they are included in the directors cut if I read correctly.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah well... Same as when you buy a game, bury it in your backlog and later the GOTY is cheaper than what you originally paid for the simple version...
It sucks, I know.

It doesn't seem like anybody understood your question. Specifically about the Augmented Edition extras.
Director's Cut has all three DLC from the regular version, but the Augmented Edition stuff is completely different.
Does anybody know if the Augmented extras will be in the Director's Cut?

Square Enix has a nice discount policy, so I don't complain.
Comment has been collapsed.
Those last two are free only because GFWL was removed. Which happened YEARS after the DLC was released. CDPR lives in a country where it is much cheaper to develop games and they publish their own games. They are an exception that proves the rule.
This is not a patch. A patch fixes something that doesn't work. The game was perfectly functional. This is new content, and the price is negligible.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's certainly a partial patch. Remember those horribly shitty boss fights? The ones the devs admitted to regretting ever putting into the game? The Director's Cut fixes those.
In essence, owners of the original release are indeed paying for a patch. A patch with some supplemental bullshit tacked on so the publisher can get away with charging for it.
Comment has been collapsed.
They didn't regret putting the boss fights in the game. They regretted outsourcing the boss fights to another company. The boss fight in the Missing Link DLC was one they did themselves and was more in-line with their intent. Fortunately, the game was a big enough success that they were able to go back and fix the boss fights. But massive corporations don't work for free.
Comment has been collapsed.
Regardless, they're now charging for modified content that should be offered as a free update for owners of the original release. The boss fights are universally reviled, and I find it a bit disingenuous (especially considering how vocal the devs have been in their dislike) for the publisher to be charging money for what essentially amounts to a patch.

Hey, do you remember when New Line Cinema went back and added a whole bunch of cut content back into the LOTR movies and then shipped new free copies to everyone who had ever bought the original printing?
No, because that shit never happened, and no one fucking complained when all they got on their disc was exactly what was shown in theaters.

How many free VHS' and DVD's with slightly modified Star Wars movies have you gotten? Or Blade Runner? Or any of innumerable reboots of comic books, movies, and TV Shows? Or any remastered edition of pretty much every medium there is?
The only thing that I don't like about thins Director's Cut is that it's a spearate library entry.

I don't remember any such thing in the game.

Pretty much.
If only every dev worked like the Witcher guys.

As long as I don't have extra obsolete icons in my library or public game list, I'd be happy. The game should just be one icon. First world problems.

I own the base game and all 3 DLCs, and I've replayed both the base game and Missing Link 3 times so far.
That's how much I love the game, but I'm having mixed feelings about paying another $5 just for better graphics, boss battles, and NG+.
Is this going to create another game in my library like Batman AC GOTY? Do I have to earn all my achievements again?
Comment has been collapsed.
So... what is the difference between normal Deus Ex and DC? I have Augmented Edition plus all DLC's. What I'll gain if I buy DC? Some in-game extras? Additional options? Maps? Anything at all?
Comment has been collapsed.
They completely rebuilt the boss fights, improved the AI in general, integrated Missing Link into the main campaign, added a New Game+ Mode, improved the graphics (tweaks to shaders/lighting mostly) and they added a Developer Commentary mode that appears to be similar to that found in Valves more recent games.

according to the site.. DC has revamped boss battles and you can throw grenades back

Director's Cut is out, and...
I'm pissed.
I have the Missing Link DLC, so the game was supposed to cost £3.49/€3.99/$4.99. Well, it doesn't. It's 4.99€, at least in my tier. If you had only the basic game, instead of 8€ you now have to pay 10€.
They have hidden the discounts by applying discounts of 50% off and 75% off.
Jesus effin christ.
I'm not going to buy this for FIVE BLOODY EUROS. Go to hell, squenix.
EDIT: According to the Steam forums, Director's Cut wasn't even based on the latest, patched base game. Nope. It's based on a very old version and is full of bugs.

The funny part of this outrage is that if they'd wait 2 more years and then re-release the Director's Cut as a "HD remake" people'd probably be enthousiastic instead of upset.

I won the base game a day or two ago, and because of that, I can't upgrade to the Augmented Edition (wish SE would allow you to upgrade to it). With the base game, I can get the Director's Cut for $9.99 (cheaper when it goes on sale)...but I'm wondering if I get all the extra goodies that the Augmented Edition provides if I upgrade to the Director's Cut.
So those features would be:
-Exclusive 40-page Artbook - Showcasing the concepts behind the world of 2027. Discover the origins of the design, the characters and the weapons of Deus Ex: Human Revolution
-44-minute making-of chronicling the trials and tribulations of the Eidos-Montreal team
-Motion comic based on the first issue of the DC Comics adaptation
-Game soundtrack composed by Michael McCann
-E3 Trailer and animated storyboard
EDIT: Oh yeah, so now with DE:HR getting a director's cut being released in a matter of days, do you guys think they'll be another 80% discount during the next sale, or will the discount be lessened?
