Deus Ex 3. I shit you not.

[luckton]

They do.  After going with the beating my head against the wall option for a few more times, along with reducing the difficulty from medium to easy, I finally punked him with laser rifle, 10mm, and EMP grenade blasts.

[Aez]

You did not mention if you had any typhoon upgrade?  On hard, I was able to chain stun him with my Typhoon.

I think if you have the refit chip, it disables the typhoon.  I recall being pissed off at that.  I didn't have the upgrade for the first boss, for some reason only had one shot in my inventory for the second boss, so I hoarded the ammo for it for the rest of the game and when I finally got to the third boss it switches the thing off.  

[Muffled]

I never picked up the typhoon at all... cheesed my way through boss fights with invisibility and lots of explosives.

[Bunk]

I didn't have Typhoon either. I ended up cheezing him by making a big pile of mines. Still took about four tries to lure him in to them. Female Boss fight was worse, I won by accidently shooting something behind her.

[luckton]

And finally beat the game.  Apparently, even after going Pacifist the whole game, I missed the achievement because I killed a guard in the last boss fight.   

[Lantyssa]

There are a couple of ways to blow that one.  Tranq a guy in water so he drowns?  Fail.  Move an unconscious guy and accidentally hit their head?  Fail.  Throw someone off a building?  Fail.

[luckton]

Move an unconscious guy and accidentally hit their head?  Fail. 

Seriously?   

[Kitsune]

Yeah, unconscious people are tremendously fragile.  An inconsequential jostle can kill them.  Something I wish would be fixed.

[Lantyssa]

Yes, seriously.  And you have no feasible way to know until you fail to get the achievement at the end.

[Sheepherder]

I discovered this after dragging several detectives up/down flights of stairs...

...

...How was I supposed to know?

EDIT: Also, it may be a bug, and not an intentional feature.

[Thrawn]

And finally beat the game.  Apparently, even after going Pacifist the whole game, I missed the achievement because I killed a guard in the last boss fight.  

I've killed people with tranq shots to the head.  I had to do a second pacifist run and be more careful (which mostly was just looking at any body I had any doubt about them accidentally being killed) to get mine.

[luckton]

I'm going through again this time on Hard-mode to try and get the Pacifist and the Hard-mode 'chieves.  Another hint: can't kill any of the dudes in the prologue "You're not a robot yet" part 

[luckton]

This is on sale this weekend on Steam, along with the DLC.  Already had the game, but $10 for all of the DLC?  Sure thing 

[jakonovski]

5 euros. Daunroodo sutaato!

[luckton]

Rise up, you masterful piece of art, for the Director's Cut that's now available!

- All DLC, including the Missing Link, has been integrated with the original game.
- New Game+ lets you replay with all previous augs with a harder difficulty
- All boss battles have been remade and overhauled.  They can now all be taken down using your preferred way of dealing with them.
- If you already own DE:HR, the game's $10. If you also have the Missing Link DLC, take another $5, bringing your total cost to just $5.

I might grab this up for my birthday next month.

[Quinton]

That's kinda tempting.  Are there reviews from trustworthy sources that actually substantiate those bullet points?

[rk47]

$5 for a boss patch is a bit much.

[luckton]

That's kinda tempting.  Are there reviews from trustworthy sources that actually substantiate those bullet points?

I'd like to think that since I pulled all of those bullets from the Steam description page we'd be good to go.  However, if it's reviews you want, the Wii-U Metacritic page will have to suffice, since that's really the console that the DC was made for: http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/deus-ex-human-revolution---directors-cut

[Threash]

This.  The boss fixes should've been free and happened months ago.

[cironian]

I'd be interested in what exactly "All DLC, including the Missing Link, has been integrated with the original game." means. Did they change the Missing Link level to actually play at the proper time during the main game now or is it simply included as it was? I couldn't find that detail in any of the reviews.

[K9]

Game+ sounds interesting.

I should just copy/paste the Steam descriptions next time.

[cironian]

Well, the Tong mission already was integrated if you had the DLC, and I'm a really mistrustful bastard where official descriptions are concerned so I was just looking for confirmation from a third party. Ah well, since no one on the net seems to call them liars about it by this point, it's probably true.

[HaemishM]

I've played through the game once. It was fun (except for the fucking boss fights) but not worth another playthrough when I have tons of other games I've been ignoring in favor of LOL.

[Fabricated]

Human Revolution was a pretty fun game and The Missing Link was actually really good too if not kinda shoehorned in there.

[Paelos]

I played until the point when I confronted the Taggart guy, and then I was supposed to go find one of his buddies hiding in the sewers. At that point, I think my brain had had enough. The story was too ridiculous and I was NOT going to be jumping through any more hoops, especially in a stupid sewer level this late in the game.

[Scold]

Anyone tried NG+? What's it like?

[Kitsune]

It was well worth the money just to have more than one battery recharge.

[Threash]

There were already mods that did that.

[rk47]

They shd team up with Snickers to have digital codes to unlock additional battery cell on the back of the packaging. 

[Tebonas]

That should not be a paid DLC. Especially if you bought the other DLCs it integrates into the main game. Not that I would have bothered to replay the game anyway, but this leaves a sore taste in my mouth.

[Kail]

For five bucks, I don't really have a problem with it.  A fiver for the boss fixes (assuming they're any good), new game +, and the integration stuff seems fair to me.  The boss fights were the bit I hated the most, if they've fixed those I'm happy.  Considering how many "ultimate editions" for other titles are just a flat $20 or $30 for nothing but a repackaging of the DLC with the game, I don't have a problem with handling it this way.

[Ingmar]

Boss fixes should have been free for people who already owned the game, a la the Mass Effect 3 ending fix or the Witcher improvements. That's "our bad, we should patch this shit" type stuff, not a value add. Charge for the other stuff, sure.
