Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut

Deus Ex 1 is among my top 3 solo play games, with Vampire Bloodlines and Baldur's Gate 1/2 I never played Deus Ex 2 because my brother told me it was rather bad, but when this 3rd game was released, I tried it, on a potatoe computer with the game stuttering as hell. Yet, it was not what was really disapointing. Nah, the 2 real problems are: 1) The game is a stealth game. The first Deus Ex was a game where you could just play the way you want. Want to sneak around without killing anybody or murdering them all brutaly ? both are fine. In Deus Ex 3, you earn more Xp if you are sneaky. It's like "yeah, you can break in violently and explode them, but then I won't give you your Xp." Well, fuck you game, let me play the way I want, the waay it was in the first one. 2) The story. Oh my god does anybody remember how freaking dumb the story of this game is ?! The ending with the microchips turning people into zombies, the bad guy who you can talk to and tell him it's dumb and he's just like "my god you're right ! please help me stop what I started!" and the very end with 3 buttons to choose your ending cinematic... This story felt like a parody of the depth of the first game, as if someone wanted to shit on my beloved Deus Ex 1...

The game fails to launch. I tried running as admin, veirfying / repairing install, nothing worked.

...has terrible controls. The control scheme in this game is trash. No button mapping, awkward controls. Mankind Divided had input lag and THIS Deus game has SET controls. What is wrong with Square Enix and why don't they allow flexibility in their games or make us of helpful updates? LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!

GoG should be ashamed of themselves for selling such a broken stuttering mess.

The Good I liked that you could upgrade your abilities. I think the story was alright. There were multiple paths that you could take to go into places. You can save whenever you want. The Bad There was only 1 animation used throughout the entire game, when you talk to woman characters, including bosses. The hacking minigame gets boring and repetitive fast. And when it says 15% to be detected, it’s lying. For some hacks that I did, it consistently triggered the alarm even though it said 15%. The thing is, I have hacked in the game so many times, that when it used to say 30% or 50%, I had a better chance of not setting of the alarm. And when you had to hack stuff that was mandatory to pregoress the story, the 15% detection seemed to work. It’s like, when it’s crucial to the story, the let you do it properly but when you are just hacking hard stuff and you have the detection at 15%, because of all your upgrades, the game cheats and that’s bullshit. The game was too long. They reused a ton of assets so levels look like places you visited before. Hong kong radios have that same English conspiracy guy talking. Books and text on stuff are in English. The commentary was done bad. You can’t see where it is, you just have to walk and hope you hear a sound or an icon to begin listening to it. And when you commentary on, it will go on through cutscenes. So if characters in the game were talking, the commentary will be on top of it and you’ll be hearing both of them at the same time. The commentary was a bad job. Conclusion At first when I was playing the game, I thought it was really good, but the more I played, the more I realized that the game actually wasn’t very good. It was mediocre. So, the game was not entirely bad but not good. It’s living off the name and ip of the game made before it and the game was made by entirely new and different people. I bought all the new deus ex games and now I’m left here thinking I wasted my money.
