I just played it myself. What a load of horseshit. Bad final boss. Annoying confrontations with the hacked gadgets. Shit twist. Shit final cinematic. Cringey dialogue the entire time;
“
Why can’t. You. UNDERSRAND?”
“Do you REALLY trust your agents?”
Me and my friend were like “
Fuck off mate, you have a missile. We don’t even know your motive for anything. How about telling us what your problem is instead of being a tosser about it.” and then we got his shitty bright yellow watch to wear. I’m pretty sure we already had a watch, it’s dumb.
Oh boy, after killing the big tosser that basically orchestrated most of the problems in the world, who has teased us for four years; we get introduced to:
Random Lady! No motive. No plan. No threat. Just a piece of shit calendar to look forward to running the same missions again but with a different yellow-bar at the end?
The more you think about it the less sense it makes. The first game, each faction made sense. There was the clean up crew that went mad; the prisoners; a literal gang; and a misguided military. The
rogue agent aspect made sense because network coverage was down in certain areas, meaning humans could get away with being selfish assholes without being caught. But then you track down one particularly selfish asshole.
But now, what? There is some
evil Division that all unite in being selfish and against their own people? If they are so massive and numerous, why even hide it? Who is
our boss? If it is Faye why not just keep calling it Division and just do our orders instead of forming a separate
evil version? Why would people employed by a company at all levels decide to make a separate
evil company and all agree to kill their old co-workers? See I honestly thought we would join the
red watches permanently after this expansion; and join Keener in fighting corruption or something, but there is no motive at all for anyone doing anything.
I’m so mad.
