As I said a bit earlier 'Dues Ex: Human Revolution' on the PS3 is maaahh favourite game. But I was looking at video of and reading reviews of the recent 'Director's Cut' version and was wondering if it was worth an upgrade.
It's another £19.99 on PSN on top of what I've already spent on the game which seems very steep for a glorified patch.
Has anybody upgraded and thought it was worth the money?
I am trying to make that same decision. On PC, you can upgrade the regular cut + DLC to the DC for $5. I think I paid $6 for the game (haven't played ityet), so $5 for a 'glorified patch' seems steep. But if I'm going to play it for 40+ hours, another $5 to make the experience better seems worth it.
Are you familiar with E.Y.E. Divince Cybermancy? Supposed to be like (the original) Deus Ex. I have some extra Steam copies. I haven't played that one either, but it looks like it has a bit of a learning curve.
If you've not played Dues Ex:HR yet I'd STRONGLY reccomend getting the Director's cut.
Most reviews and my view too are that the original version of Dues Ex was a near masterpiece but the boss battles are absolute cr*p.
The main game invites you to meet problems and enemies with multiple appraoches, techniques and skills. The boss battles are just button mashing explody things. So you can spend the first part of the game honing all you super secret stealth skills, then find that the first boss is only vulnerable to a huge explosive weapon, meaning you hit a massive difficulty spike. This is because for some insane reason the boss battles were farmed out to an outside studio.
With the DC, Eidos Montreal have apparently completely redone all the boss battles themselves, to make them play like the rest of the game. So for you I'd pay the money. But for me having bought the game and all the DLC and played it all through 4 times. It's difficult to decide to spend that money on just a 5th play through, even if it's a better experience.
Also being familiar with the title, I can see how the new second-screen feature would integrate beautifully. I can just picture hacking my way past all the security on an ingame computer console (Which you will do hundreds of times) using my iPhone.
