I think I'll just shoot everyone and smash through walls.

I still cannot tell in any respect if I am going to enjoy this game or not. Nonetheless, I feel obligated to get it because of how much I liked the first game, for as many problems as that had.

Before it went mainstream stealth was NOT about killing everyone.

You can use stealth to just bypass enemies, no need to kill/stun everyone (or anyone for that matter) in HR.

@JackG100: The cloaking ability in this game is very situational and drains your energy quickly, even fully upgraded.  If the energy system remains the same on release, (only 1 energy cell recharging automatically) the ability won't be very spammable.

Im getting a real Alpha Protocol vibe from this. And I loved Alpha Protocol.

Great game that far too many reviewers either didn't get, or penalized for bugs too harshly. I can see why you're getting that vibe. I just hope DE's story holds up. 
 
BTW, according to their CEO, Obsidian hasn't given up on AP, even if Sega won't be publishing it.

Can I hide in a box?

Can I squeeze testicles to knock guards out?

At 40 seconds he bends the guy's arm and it makes a snapping noise, but he bends it the right way. Arms are supposed to go like that at the elbow. And then he clonks the guy in the face to knock him out anyway, so what was the point of playing with his arm?

They should have emphasized that you don't need the "Cloaking" power to sneak effectively or be stealthy and quiet. It's an option, but it's use is very limited plus requires many level up points) and you can easily finish whole levels undetected even without using it.

that is definitely good to know. I don't want the crysis 2 experience all over again

Damn, it come out the day I start my new semester. Oh well, who needs education?

Same here. I plan on spending my first week of school ignoring classes and homework to plow through this game. It's the responsible thing to do

My boss at work has that accent.  Hearing it does not make me a happy camper.  :/
