Deus Ex:Human Revolution Director's Cut vs. Vanilla

I've played both versions (Regular with DLC and Director's Cut), and didn't really notice any difference other than Director's Cut having more content.

i had the same question, and decided to buy the bundle and redeem it because they are two separate versions.

I own, and have played, both versions. The DC integrates the DLC which was nice cause now the mission on board the ship isn't detached from the game itself. Plus I enjoyed the audio commentary.
So I voted for the DC version, but your milage may vary.

Well, Director's Cut has betters boss battles [they still feel out of place, but are slightly better than in vanilla]], Missing Link DLC incorporated [~4 hours long, quite nice] and steam cards. Vanilla version is a bit more stable and has this signature golden tint [which is nice IMO]

All in all, I'd say go for the director's cut if you don't have the missing link already.

less bugs in the vannila

Director's Cut is fine if your PC can handle it in DX11 and VSync ON I don't have single problem with this configuration, but if I set DX9 or VSync OFF the problems starts...

The original is the better version, if you have it with all the DLCs and The Missing Link expansion. But if you don't then play both versions or just the DC version to also enjoy the DLCs, although I still think the original looks much better, and is bugs-free, unlike the glitched DC version. I completed the original and never had any problem with the boss fights and never understood what the problem was with them... (:P). I have both versions, although the original is the Ultimate Edition, with some extra bonuses not found in the Director's Cut version.

I hate when developers play games with game editions... Either patch the original, or release Director's Cut as DLC, don't sell it as a totally different game. Metro Redux is another title that pisses me off. I already own the original why do I need to buy it again?

I didn't vote, but it really depends on whether you want Missing Link DLC. It's a fairly long extra mission which avoids the problems with the base game, but it doesn't really add anything to the story. So up to you...

You sound like you're afraid Director's Cut will replace old version, nope, Director's Cut doesn't replace old one, you will have both of them, side by side.
You can safely redeem it if that's your only concern.

Only really good improvement from Director's Cut are commentaries, allowing you to hear more about game-dev. Being able to kill bosses in different way is nice, but nothing superb.

Vanilla obviously. Golden filter - amazing atmosphere.

i had no problem with Directors cut, but the truth is i havent played it lot, but i experienced a slighty better performance than in vanilla

One thing about the DC that everyone seems to be forgetting is the addition of NG+.

The changes Director's Cut makes to the bosses was really underwhelming. I know boss battles were a big complaint in vanilla, but I actually prefer them to what they made them into in DC. They just seemed tacked on changes and not fully thought out like they were in the original Deus Ex.

So I'd say vanilla. Director's Cut is worth a playthrough but I'd never play that version again.

Vanilla has less bugs and urine filter which is a clear winner for me. Never had trouble with boss battles even on my full pacifist run.

Played both. Many people say that DC have many bugs but I'm didn't see any. And DC have Missing link that is very big plus. The only minus in DC, IMHO, that developers remove yellow filter from game. Video for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGB27zgAcDU

No fan patches to restore yellow tint?

Thanks for all comments, guys.
