So - any klikkers been revolving humanely?

It's good. Just left Heng Sha for the second time. Playing mostly ninja-stealth; only turned lethal after some assholes tried to **** *****.

I don't reckon it'll still be finding ways to surprise me in 10 years' time, but not every game can be Deus Ex (#1).

Funny, I'm not quite at that part yet but I know exactly which bit you're talking about.

I also intend to leave none alive.

The ending ate a big chunk out of my prior enjoyment. I was so bummed I didn't bother reloading to view the other endings :-/

It's obviously the developers were, frankly, a bit embarrassed of the conspiracy theory side of Deus Ex lore, so instead they pursued the relentlessly middlebrow "robot arms: good or bad?" ethix debate and as soon as the story showed signs of taking flight they put a lid on it. And the last level was so bad!

It's still a minor miracle that This Type Of Game exists in 2011 but you can't really mention it in the same breath as the original. It's definitely Enough Monkeys rather than Shakespeare.
