Verdict on DXHR
IMO the story would be improved with Jerod confessing his feelings, flipping a bird to the Illuminati and running off with Adam after being defeated instead of dying. It'd be fucking Brokeback-tastically amusing. But admittedly such a blatant sidestep from heteronormativity wouldn't be the Deus Ex we know - and would damage the fragile sexualities of most gamers.
(Disclaimer: i am not a fulltime yaoi fangirl type. Just occasionally have an episode now and then.)
the ending. note i'm not saying which, just 'the ending'. because the other three don't exist. it is tearwrenchingly lovely.
and Adam's reflexboosted double takedown, the lethal variety - it's a beautiful dance i want to see my enemies invited to.
