I lol'd at the commentary for the
boss fight.
Namir
Here are the changes I noticed so far on my playthrough:
During the Barrett fight there are more explosive barrels strewn about, making it possible to kill him solely by throwing those at him. There's a vent you can go into with an opening in a grate to snipe him from, and it eventually leads to a computer room that you can use to unlock a side room with more weaponry and turrets that you can unleash on him.
In the Federova fight there's a circular ramp on the side that has some EMP mines you can find; it leads to a second level that features four valves, a laser protected computer, a turret, and a keypad. You can use the four valves to gas the floor below, or the keypad to disable the lasers guarding the computer which you can hack to gain access to the ceiling mounted turret.
The Namir fight has more rooms you can check out, one features a laser rifle you can get to, and in another you can hack a computer to get a security bot on your side. The downside to this fight is you can't use the takedown glitch anymore from what I can tell.

Hey, thanks! Now the game flies!
Guys, it feels so good to be playing Deus Ex again. One of my favorite games in the last couple of years. It's been a good 1 1/2 years+ since I played it the last time. Glad I held off for the DC.

Take it easy guys. Wii U owners enjoy the game.
I already traded my copy in towards a DS4 and Batman: AO
I just don't have faith this game is getting patched ANY time soon.

Just got to Adam's apartment. Without a doubt that's always been my favorite part of the game. So good.

Perhaps I didn't notice this before, but I just
. I swear that there wasn't one in that room before. Jensen doesn't call Malik about this, and I swear he used to call Malik about finding one.
Although, what do I know, it's been at least a year since I last played.
Also, anyone noticing random moments where the Radio-dialog box pops up, makes the usual radio noise, and then just cuts out?

You're briefly walking over or looking at a commentary spot.

Had similar issues. Walmart doesn't show it getting in stock until 12/31 which is crazy. Best buy had it coming out on their site on the 29th, a full week after the other two. Target had no record if it at all.
Of the 5 gamestops in Colorado springs, each got 1 copy according to the rep I asked, because the copy he had was opened for display purposes which made me mad. Sadly, it appeared the only way for me to get this version. It looks like SE did what Ubi did with splinter cell and shipped an absolutely pathetic amount.
Apparently it was built off of the original release version for some reason.
Hopefully this gets ironed out sooner than later.
Did you do the registry edits?

It runs smooth as butter here as well. I didn't play far enough without the registry tweaks to notice any difference but with them the game runs perfectly.

WiiU version here.
Been playing nonstop since I got the game (log shows 19 hours - I like to take my time, especially with this game) and
now - what a fucking amazing game/world!
Past that, other devs should take notes on proper gamepad utilization.
IMO it sets the new standard for future WiiU games and how they -should- use the gamepad - 1st and 3rd-party.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I have the Wii U version (disc) and also had the original PS3 release, the cutscenes are lower res (compressed looking) and choppy in both versions.
Here's something weird that's going on with this game for me. Had the AMD Uninstaller Utility hose my Windows 8 install last night, figured I'd take the opportunity to reinstall Windows 7 instead since I haven't liked 8 much since I first got it.
Get everything reinstalled and set up, boot up the Director's Cut and no performance issues or stuttering at all. Didn't do any of the registry tweaks, but now I'm getting silky smooth 60fps without a single stutter to be seen.
The only differences are I'm now on Windows 7 instead of 8, and I'm running the new 13.11 Beta 6 drivers. Still using The Missing Link profile for crossfire. Not going to complain, but it struck me as odd.

It has been reported that having google chrome open in the background helps fix issues.

...what the hell?
Just tested it myself and it seems to work, my fps jumps up. Return any regedit fixes back to the way they were then just leave chrome running.
So the issue is bad memory handling/allocation related?

The Missing Link DLC is fantastic, and included with the DC.
What in the what?

the choppy cutscenes are like that in all versions, Quite frankly they look like garbage. Even looking up a walkthrough on youtube that has the cutscenes will show this on ps3 and 360 (and now wii u)
Hm. Post the fix. Haven't tried that myself. I'll try the chrome trick as well.

Does the PC version still have stuttering? I remember getting 120 fps but the game would still stutter when turning the camera or moving around.
There was a patch that would supposedly fix the stuttering, but didn't it fix it, atleast last time I tried.

Maybe that's why it ran so well. I always have chrome open.
regarding choppy Wii U cutscenes
I moved the game from my external HD to system memory... didn't help.
Then I noticed something by accident: Pausing the game for a second (press start) seems to fix the choppiness. I tested the intro cutscene starting a new game. This is unacceptable though, and I hope there's a patch soon.

So anyone able to summarize the differences between the Wii U and the other versions? Sounds like the other versions have problems.
The Wii U version is the least buggy with the ability to leave infologs and annotations for other players to see on the Miiverse. Also, it has Off-TV play that's by far superior to other Off-TV games on the WiiU, and that special neural enhancement which lets you see what NPCs are carrying using the Gamepad.
Stuff like the commentary and redone boss fights are found in all versions I think.
There's currently no sign of the walkthrough guide either which was advertised for all versions and not exclusively for WiiU
I tried playing it. Couldn't get into it. It runs ultra smooth for me. It's the game itself I'm not into.
I dislike the controls. Moving behind cover is clunky. I couldn't stealth kill while in cover. The tutorial prompts blocked my UI when I was trying to learn how to play. Even though I watched the one about stealth kills, it appeared three times. When I got found just before getting in the door in the next room it put me all the way back so I had to deal with all that a second time.
It doesn't feel like the game should be a first person shooter.
I don't like how the dude reads the dialog options verbatim. It's like I'm getting spoiled.
Blind fire behind cover is disgusting. It's annoyingly inaccurate.
I'll give this game a miss, again. At least I got slightly further than last time the game released. I didn't realise until now that what I got up to last time was before his body gets modded.

Can you comment on performance? The framerate seemed a bit choppy at points (some of the hub areas, for instance). The loading times also seem pretty lengthy (reminds me of the PC version before it was first patched).

Well, yeah that makes sense doesn't it? haha
The games cover system seems designed with a controller in mind. It's really easy to zip about on Wii U.
Everything seems pretty much perfectly designed for Wii U. Except for those damn cutscenes. It's not enough to not warrant a purchase, but it's strange that there'd be something fundamentally flawed in the games code which they couldn't resolve. Cutscenes of all things as well.

Oh wow they did do that, kind of surprised.
What's wrong with the cutscenes?
Have some hours into the game, but still dont understand how that works.
Porcile

Noticeably choppy. Just seems sloppy to leave them that way.
What? this has off tv play? how do you activate it?
Sometimes it is, but i've read that the wiiu version even has some graphical features not present on the pc. But it seems the documentation of all the features is a bit weak,i didn't even knew you could play this with the gamepad only.
What's the general consensus on the game? The Wii U version is pretty cheap down where I live so I'm contemplating on picking it up. I already own the PS3 version of the original and didnt get the chance to play much but it showed a deal of promise and I'm wondering whether I should jump onto the new version while its still a fresh experience to me.
