Does the mod rebalance the game to compensate for additional levels gained in The Frontier?

Aren't enemies level scaled either way?

I believe so, but too much additional XP would result in hitting the level cap sooner. Not to mention maxing out skills which makes the game kind of boring.

Looks like another ZX Spectrum game I missed.
The fonts and colours make me nostalgic.

Indeed I played it for nostalgic reasons. But it is a 2021 game... (itch.io).

BTW, the ZX Spectrum is having a kind of renaissance in these years, mainly from Slavic developers. They were able, with clever programming tricks, to exploit the old speccy hardware in ways beyond belief.

For example, by adding multi-parallax scrolling:

Multicolor (with no colour clash in the same 8x8 pixels):

Extended palette beyond the 15 basic colors (using color bleeding on CRT TVs, or alternating colors):

Even playable 3D FPS, a là Wolfenstein/Doom, have been made:

Get to see zombies spread live as a vampire.

Gassed the patrons of the nightclub using ventilation, loot!

Hack & blow up TVs.

I wonder if this is because of severe autism, or because they cannot afford anything better.

Yes.

^^^is that on Low settings? I don't recall the NPCs looking so

Even on the highest settings Human Revolution won't look that good. The Director's Cut made it look even worse with the removal of the "piss filter" that everybody hated so much.

Is that Radioactive Man?

Finally, got rid of that trickster weirdo and his army of autistic insect-beasts.

​

Can't say I'm fond of Thief Gold lategam. You can go all in a killing spree (and even encouraged in a side mission) if you want to, even on Expert difficulty. Also the setting is more linear than the earlier missions: just cave networks and a bit of woodland.

Direktor's cut is also based on the...Wii U version instead of the 360/PC one.

I still think that DX:HR is better than CP2077 from the graphics/visuals point of view, with a more interesting cyberpunk style.

It certainly has a much more coherent visual direction.

Still funny this is supposed to take place before the original Deus Ex.
Say what you want, but I much prefer Deus Ex's more grounded artstyle: Adds much more to the believability of the setting as opposed to the world somehow turning into some highly futuristic technocracy with floating cities in about 6 years from now.

The Frontier is pretty cool so far. It's a little janky but that's fine. I'm only about an hour into it and it's still establishing the situation, but as far as I understand there are 3 paths: Legion, NCR splinter group and some other independent group. I think I'm going to go with the independent group, then maybe go back to my save to try the other paths

Spoiler

No idea what this means yet

The Director's Cut wasn't even a free upgrade for owners of the original game and the DLC. Square Enix just gave a discount to those people. Imagine paying for a downgrade merged with a DLC that breaks the flow of the game.

SE also announced it as a Wii U exclusive. Only fan feedback led to its PC port.

Sure, being a Wii U port led to worse graphics and The Missing Link ruins the pacing, and there's that scary list of bugs, but hindsight is 20/20. Can't blame the fans for asking to play the DC when it was marketed as the definitive version.

Is that why it runs like complete ass on my PC even though it has no good reason to? Mankind Divided runs just fine on higher settings.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Twin Pack

Includes: Complete Edition, v1.4.651.0/v1.4.66.0 + Director's Cut, v2.0.66.0/Update 1

- You can install either Complete Edition or Director's Cut or both with any number of voiceovers,
- Selective Download feature: you can skip downloading and installing of voiceover files, "Making of" video for DC and unused Japanese files.
- Significantly smaller archive size (compressed from cumulative 43.4 to 5.1~9.8 GB, depending on selected components).

*Edit: Complete Edition = Main Campaign + The Missing Link as a separate campaign (the good old way).

Aren't those Fitgirl repacks loaded with miners and other such stuff?
