What went over my head was the link between the hypocrisy of “We come in
peace, shoot to kill” and the psychopathic behaviour of Adam Jensen.
Yes I did watch it to the end and the only thing that struck me was the
crappiness of the fighting. Block-pause-strike, even the 2D Prince of
Persia was more fluid.
Not true that that was the only thing. The misogyny was unsettling too.

That's not a factor in the game itself, that's up to the individual
player in this particular video.

Shows how much I know about gaming. :-)
I wouldn't like to meet that individual in a dark ally. I might die of
old age. Although I would like to see the meeting with Gail Shaw. ;-)

You missed the achievement "Pacifist" being granted at the very end?

To be honest. I had difficulty paying attention.
Okay, shoot to kill, get a peace prize. ;-)

If you /do/ pay close attention, there's no shooting at all (not from
the player's side at any rate); "only" some heavy punching, kicking and
tazing going on.

No attention is needed to see that there was no shooting so I must have
been using artistic licence. :-P
There was some heavy jumping going on. At least that is what we, in my
youth, called it when someone went in for a throw and his opponent
jumped over him pretending that he had been thrown.
That video is a poor advertisment for the game. IM(NS)HO

Well, that and the total destruction of an entire city during that black
period right at the end after he pushes the self-destruct button.

Inevitable collateral damage.
