*** Another option: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWF24OGMYvs&feature=related mines.]
** {{spoiler|Hyron, the final boss,}} has a terminal to shut down life-support directly in front of {{spoiler|Zhao Yun Ru}}. Hack it or sucker the codes out of {{spoiler|Darrow}} for an easy win.
*** Alternately, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thR-sQlvrjM bring the laser rifle] and [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|Just Shoot The Boss.]]
** [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] in the Missing Link DLC. The boss, {{spoiler|Burke}}, fights you in a wide open room with a large number of flunkies. However, it's possible, if you move quickly, to get into cover and avoid being spotted by the [[Mooks]]. If you're good at hacking or have certain augs, it's possible to get directly behind the boss and use a takedown without {{spoiler|him}} knowing. There's even an achievement for doing this.
*** Hell, if you duck into cover immediately and stay there for a few minutes, they'll ''go back to their patrols'', even with {{spoiler|Burke}} continuing to taunt you about how it's only a matter of time before they find you. It's entirely possible -- though difficult -- to get the Apex Predator achievement along with [[Restart At Level One|Factory Zero]].

** Detention policies for American citizens hit closer to home with recent developments in the [http://www.salon.com/2011/12/15/obama_to_sign_indefinite_detention_bill_into_law/singleton/undefinedsingleton/ government.]
** Blink and you'll miss it, but one of the scrolling texts underneath news broadcasts mentions that there has been a tsunami alert in Japan, but it is expected to be harmless. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_tsunami Not so much in real life.]
* [[Hey
* [[Ho Yay]]: Pritchard becomes more... ''concerned'' about Jensen late in the game.
** And after Jensen {{spoiler|goes MIA for a few days}}, Pritchard expresses a desire to keep Jensen on a leash.
Line 80:
** Visiting the basement of Picus and snooping in their files shows how easily and to how great an extent mass media can manipulate people. But it's just a plot point of a [[Conspiracy Theory]] game, right? Right?
** To make matters worse, Picus is a thinly veiled [[Expy]] of [[Fox News|NewsCorp]].
** Adam himself, especially during a stealth run. So there's this guy in the building, right? And we keep finding our buddies dead/unconscious on the floor, right? But we've still got (dwindling) numbers and familiar ground and security systems on our side, so we should be able to at least ''find him'', right? Right? ...Guys? Hey, [[Killed Mid
* [[Player Punch]]:
** {{spoiler|Malik's death, if you let it happen.}}
Line 87:
* [[Sequel Displacement]]: Because of the large gap between ''HR'' and ''[[Deus Ex Invisible War (Video Game)|Deus Ex Invisible War]]'', this was many players first ''Deus Ex'' game. Since ''HR'' wasn't a [[Numbered Sequel]] like it was originally going to be, and any references to the original games would only be picked up by players of them, it isn't uncommon to find players unaware of them.
* [[Sidetracked By the Golden Saucer]]: There are ''so many computers'' to hack. Almost none of them are strictly ''necessary'' to hack, but the minigame lets you hack literally hundreds of computers over the course of the game. When you enter a large office area, espect to drop at least ten or twenty minutes just running around hacking every computer in sight for experience and money.
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: The takedown animations are keyed for the standard character model size. Fair enough. But there are a few enemies (i.e. Ogres) that are a bit larger than everyone else, and the animation for their takedowns remains the same. So if Jensen performs, let's say, his [["Hey You!" Haymaker]] on an Ogre, he taps the small of their back (rather than the shoulder) and punches them in the heavily armored chest.
* [[Take That]]: The [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|"If you want to make enemies, try to change something"]] quote seems pretty tongue in cheek when you realize all the flack the devs received for making a new Deus Ex.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: The running animations that the {{spoiler|cyberzombies use at Panchaea}} seem a bit... off.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]:
Line 95:
* [[Vindicated By History]]: The game was overlooked by many when it came out, as 2011 was chock full of great titles, but when Game of the Year discussions came up later on, ''Human Revolution'' was on the short list in just about everyone's book, prompting some to give it a closer look.
** The game won five awards at the 2012 Canadian Videogame Awards, including the high profile Console Game of the Year award.
* [[What Do You Mean
** [http://unitedfederationofcharles.blogspot.com/2012/03/social-satire-of-deus-ex-human.html One fan's essay on Deus Ex: Human Revolution's Social Satire] covers some of the issues nicely.
