I feel really torn when I read this.
On the one hand its nice to see that they're releasing patches so quickly, but at the same time, they've had to already release 3 fricken patches! The games' been out what, a week?
*shakes head*

3 patches in a week lol another f***ed up Deus Ex release....

Today's Jimquisition explains this. Instead of polishing the game, Eidos was forced by greedy Square Enix to add stupid, unnecessary microtransactions to the game.
Cyberdyne
The two are not connected bigfutus.
The port was done by a totally different company, Nixxes.
Typically they do a great job. But I also suffered from a game breaking crash that prevented me from completing the game. Had to wait 3 days for a patch to allow me to continue.

So you are unhappy that they release fixes for bugs, as crashes to desktop on certain system, or some bugs on certain campaign story etc . Im happy to see that they release so fast fix for the problems encountered.
personally i will love to see an overhaul of performances, even if right now i dont own the games .. ( theres too some fix to deploy on the performance aspect ). (End of hollidays is never a good time for play, need to complete the work that i have not done during thoses hollidays, meaning i start to do the work who have not been done ( meaning im good for a 10-12hours / days, instead of 8 .. maybe i should stop to take holllidays ... )

Why would you be happy about them releasing the a patch for bugs when the bugs shouldn't be there to begin with? Talk about complacency.
If I bought a cell phone that I couldn't make any calls from on the day I bought it, and had to wait for a week until they released an update that let me make calls, I sure as hell wouldn't be "happy" that its now working, I'd be pissed right off I was sold something that didn't work straight away and had to wait a week.
Man people got this stuff all twisted.

was Deus EX HR messed up at launch?? by the time i got like year or 2 later is works pefectly.
Then again there is reason I dont buy gones on there launch date no more let alone preorder games
All games these days tend to be release broke in some way, I miss the days where game were properly tested before released, cause if they were not they would be lot hell to pay for. This what happens when everything is internet this internet that.
They all have release it now and fix it later ,maybe attitude when comes to game release now.
Until Batman Arkham Knight was released well atlest the PC verison Ubisoft and AC:Unity held the crown for most broke games, and it not crown any DEV or Publisher should want to be given.

Except that subway and breach bugs were fixed on PS4 as well. But sure 21:9 PC master race bugs are a little bonus on top of that.

Love the Deus Ex games, BUT, after the last one i knew i was waiting this time round, once it's all patched and a director edtion is released i will grab it. 😉

Funny i never had a single crash since launch fix your god dam pc,s guys xD
Cyberdyne
That's not how it always works. Sometimes it IS the devs fault. And lately, more often then not it is there fault.
Certainly for the first month or so. A new trend that I hate.
The bug I dealt with was the subway crash. I followed the discussion page, a fix was announced, and a patch fixed it. I could finally finish the game. Where does the blame fall on me?

Game goes without patch for 1-3 months - People complain
Game gets multiple patches very quickly - People complain
Moral of the story: People don't care if a game is buggy or not, or if the patches come quickly, or slowly, all people want to do is complain, complain, complain. I'm glad i'm not in a job position where i have to produce something for sale, people have absolutely no idea how to be grateful.

Game goes without patch for 1-3 months - People complain because the game is broken and the dev made a throw-away PC port with zero extended support.
Game gets multiple patches very quickly - People complain because the game is broken and the dev uses paying customers to beta test their $60 game.
Moral of the story: The speed in which patches come out is irrelevant. Don't release buggy games. People have not changed, companies complacency has. Thanks to Internet connected platforms, companies can care less and less, release sooner, make money now, use us as testers, and maybe fix later.
When people in the job position speak up, they almost never speak ill of the people who buy the product and complain. They almost always speak ill of the cavalier attitude of the publisher.
The worse thing we could do as a consumer is become complacent. They already think we are. And by reading some of what I see here, they might be right. When we feel it is necessary to defend a mega corporation...

@Cyberdyne well said young sir/madam nail hit squarely on its head.

Real moral of the story:
Be patient.
Don't want to be a beta tester; be patient.
Don't want to end up with a broken game the publisher dumped on the market then forgot about; be patient.
Don't want publishers to put broken games on the market; stop pre-odering/day one purchasing their broken, buggy games; be patient.
Don't want to pay 90-120 dollars for a game and all its DLC. Wait until it's all put in a package deal, for a much better price.
Being patient makes gaming a much less frustrating and cheaper hobby.
