You can still takedown guys without problems, you just couldn't do IT in quick succession without energy bars. I'm glad they are getting rid of it in MD, but lol if it ruins the game for you.

ummm, HR was really easy to do non-lethal how bad are you at videogames

Easy and not what the game ecourages need not be separate. It got more encouraged later, but the piss easyness combined with boring rear end maps and lovely writing only getting worse meant there was no reason to waste my time with HR any more than i already had.

You're right, the first part of the game is what the vast overwhelming majority of people who play it will see and will see most often. The opening of the game being polished is definitely important. But what you said before that, which In Training was responding to, was "Fact: Every game gets worse the later in it, because they're rushing to meet deadlines." which is not even close to the same sentiment. Your goalpost moving is only reinforcing the fact that you have no idea what you're talking about, friendo.

These are not separate goalposts, please learn to think critically. By the time QA gets to later parts of the game, there's less time to fix the issues they find.

After 15 minutes, every game just goes into the Pac Man kill screen. The beginnings are all a smokescreen designed to make reviewers believe that video games are real.

QA People and playtesters always play games from start to finish, or they would, if there were any content after the beginning.

Many games would unironically be improved if this were true.

the entire game is designed around being able to avoid combat other than the boss fights. you are talking out of your rear end m8.

and again you've gone back to assuming that a game is developed purely chronologically which is patently untrue.

i mean maybe this is all on you because it seems like you went in expecting a metal gear game despite the box saying "deus ex" quite clearly
