Deus Ex: Human Revolution/Awesome

"Adam Jensen: Women always underestimate men."
 * The Takedown moves. A taste.
 * Here's one for the record books: Adam Jensen in Zhao Yun Ru's penthouse with Quicksilver Reflex Booster plus a fistful of concussion grenades and a Cyberboost Proenergy Jar equals Curb Stomp Battle. Forget the Penthouse trailer - you can beat the ever-loving crap out of a dozen of BellTower's finest like you were Neo.
 * Taken Up to Eleven with here. Spam the takedown button juuust as he mantles a wall and it's a One Hit KO.
 * The "social boss battles" in general but especially these:
 * The first battle against Zeke Sanders, especially given the fact that at this point you (probably) don't have the CASIE aug: you're literally arguing with someone based entirely on your own personal ability to read their actions, body language and personality without any of the assistance like the persuasion bar or the personality summary. Talking down a hostage-taker with no assistance while the hostage is sobbing and crying and the unhinged criminal keeps periodically jabbing his gun into the hostage's head is one of the most intense experiences - and most rewarding when you win.
 * The battle against.
 * The battle against
 * The final battle against
 * Seeing your Genre Savvy instincts pay off in a cutscene where  and watching it do you no harm whatsoever. Made even better by Jensen's Ironic Echo.

"Adam: Malik, remind me never to piss you off."
 * Or winning the following fight despite
 * Convince to help you at the end game and sucker punch him afterwards.
 * Just convincing him counts as one on it's own. You just talked down !
 * At the very end of the post credit scene, when the secret achievement pop-up and this music start to play.
 * Malik's idea of street justice.
 * Malik's idea of street justice.


 * Don't even try to deny the feeling of elation and satisfaction when you hear these four words:
 * Especially if you managed it on a pacifist run. On hard.
 * While the final stage suffers from, there's a very fun and satisfying way to beat it, as there are many  - just make sure to stock yourself up with battery replenishing candies and jars from LIMB clinics and buy the reflex aug that lets you perform double takedowns. Now go, and make Jackie Chan proud.
 * Alternatively, if you've been carrying the PEPS this far through the game, you now have an incredibly effective, efficient, and satisfying method of non-lethal crowd control at your disposal.
 * Heck, even Eliza seems to agree that with this ending.
 * Listening to some of the NPC chatter in The Missing Link makes it clear just how much of a badass Jensen is. One NPC will even point out that half the base is scared shitless of Jensen, especially if he's been running around killing everyone.
 * Even if you're doing a total stealth Pacifist Run, they're still terrified of him. After all, there's a guy loose in the complex who's a heavily augmented Super Soldier and who managed to take out five heavily armed and well-trained soldiers in a greatly confined space, while disoriented and surrounded after being forcibly woken from stasis, before finally going down -- and it still took eight men to do it. And even though they can tell where's he's been, no one knows where he is. As one guy says, "Do not let the low casualty count fool you. It only means he is more resourceful and more dangerous."
 * Getting the Factory Zero achievement certainly qualifies. The soldiers have armor, guns, box guards, laser sights, alarm systems, vastly superior numbers, and locked doors. The only thing Adam really has going for him is his own resourcefulness and the ability to take someone down in one hit, the latter of which he can usually only do once every thirty to sixty seconds; not much help if he's against more than one person. It's more than enough. Scared shitless of Jensen? Of course. Fear Is the Appropriate Response.
 * Doing a successful Pacifist Run, especially if you get the Foxiest of the Hounds achievement and manage to while you're at it.
 * More so when playing on "Give me Deus Ex" as well.
