I'm legit crying.

- Ghosting every level.
- Hacking every single terminal.
- Zero killing.
- Quests can be solved in multiple way.

Then we'll have our GOTY

I loved the non-lethal options in Human Revolution. The non lethal weapons were great, as was the stealth. Talking your way out of situations (the "social boss fights") was also incredibly good.

I hope they take it even further in that you don't even have to kill bosses, ala Dishonored.

Saving Malik in DXHR, armed with only the stun gun and concussion rifle never felt so good. I'm keen to see something similar in DXMD.

pls no more boss fights that are only tolerable with the Typhoon
I used the mines. If you collect the mines you find while playing you should have more than enough to beat every boss in seconds. The last boss is super easy too with the laser.

If Michael McCann is not composing the OST for the sequel, I'm gonna riot.
Indeed. Human Revolution's soundtrack was amazing. More please.

I have zero qualms about violence in video games, but I find nonlethal maneuvers to be a really underrated, underutilized mechanic. The reason games like Deus Ex, MGS3, or the one in my avatar have so much mileage for me is that you can tackle situations in different ways. One of the things that let me down about Dishonored was that it wasn't as good as Human Revolution in terms of hand to hand knockouts (you couldn't take people down without a weapon from head on or a ninety degree angle). The first time I finished Human Revolution I was really baffled how I didn't get the achievement for not killing anybody, but when I replayed a late save to see another ending (before doing a lethal play through on the higher difficulty) it turns out
it wasn't the helicopter crash in Hong Kong as I feared, but the whacky electric floors in the last encounter.

Other than the boss encounters and some really strange bug that wouldn't allow me to leave the TV studio helipad in Montreal (and kinda delayed me finishing the game for the first time by about six months), Human Revolution was pretty much what I had hoped for.

I'm sorry. I'm really excited for the sequel of my favourite game of last gen.

EDIT: OMG, Jensen?!?!?!?! *faints*
 
Can't contain my excitement. It's so good to see Jensen is the lead character again. Human Revolution is still one of my favorite games on PC.

After Thief and Deus Ex The Fall I decided to keep my expectations in check. for now I just hope Eidos Montreal return to form in time.

100% agreed.

I'll be paying very close attention to Gameplay footage and assessing it very thoroughly. Definitely won't pre-order, but I loved Human Revolution and another great Deus Ex game would be fucking amazing.

Hopefully Michael McCann is back doing the Music. Also hopefully it's a 2015 release, we need more games this year.

As long as I can beat it never killing anyone and talking my way out of everything, I'll be good.

Just don't let the boss fights suck. Please, don't let them suck.

In my case, it was one of the guards in MGS3 whom I knocked out, fell into a river, effectively killing him.

In HR, a well placed head shot with a tranq dart could be lethal in some cases. I've been robbed of my achievement too.
