the hooker at the beginning of the game
Oh I think I barely remember her, was she the one who was worried we would freak out because we couldn't get hard, and then had a choice to let her live or kill her.

My Jessie did the hit but not a fan of the update storywise.
Our MC is like Jack Ryan Frankenpennis but lately he's being too careless. I have been playing him like a cold operative, avoiding going full blood bath whenever I can.
Now he has the CIA or whatever controlling his movements and he's oblivious to that fact.
He's been ambushed by low level mercs. He would have been killed if Jessie wasn't around.
Ambushed by the Cartel in Mexico and now trapped working for them.

It's like going from being competent to being a methead.
Its a mixed bag for me. Media tends to romanticize ex-military into some unkillable & omniscient super agent, spy, operative, assassin and super soldier all in one when in actuality its further from the truth. As former military, we're just like any other human but with combat training & exp. There is no such thing as an all in one solution operative with proficiency in all the skillsets with unlimited network and reach. That is absolute hogwash. There are multiple roles, specializations & separate organizations for a reason.
I like the fact that he's just being used and someone is pulling strings while he is clueless about it.
His blunders make him human but i admit the mistakes are too amateurish.

Of course, stories need some failures too to make things more interesting. But the MC is making too many too fast imo.
At this pace he's gonna turn into a 0 Int +10 Luck Fallout character :ROFLMAO:

Haven't gotten to the new stuff, but he started out as pretty much Rambo, now it sounds like WTF?

I mean yeah but before he was hunting down low level thugs or just random abusive (civilian) husbands. I won't spoil it but everyone is complaining that he's not as Rambo-y vs. antagonists of significantly greater status and resources in the new content. Its really not a valid comparison.

Hrm...overall I enjoyed the update, although I do agree with the general sentiment that the MC is / was careless as fuck. Then again, he was always more of an Arnold Schwarzenegger-character type rather than an Agent 47.

I'm not sure what the "implications" of Cookie in the post-credits scene are, if any, but it's a nice throwback and makes letting her live an even more meaningful decision since she seems to have gotten her life on track. I mean...as "on-track" as joining the Navy is...was the Air Force full or something? ( :sneaky: :ROFLMAO: ).

Anyway, needs more Piper, as always. ;)

i think if MC didnt drag foxy into the mess, people wouldnt be off put by it all. foxy just had her first kill in self defense and before she even gets to come to terms with it is forced to either become a whore or a cold blooded murderer. all to save the MC's dumbass. thats the kind of pain he was supposed to protect her from.

and you knew everything was goin fubar with the, whats the plan conversation when he arrogantly said wing it. i was hoping for an option from there so i could avoid what i new was coming. only to find my options were either stop playing the update or watch the trainwreck.

consider, the MC's ptsd serial killer influence is the only reason she survived the shit storm he put her in, i dont really want to follow that kinda protagonist, its not fun or entertaining anymore its just depressing.

To be fair, she didn't kill either one of them...right away, anyway. They certainly would have died if left alone in the desert without prompt medical treatment, but the MC sped them along, so technically HE killed them, all she did was shoot them in self-defense.

ah but she thought she killed them and wasnt relieved when told they were still alive. cant spin it, she felt like a murderer in that moment and after. like when MC left her alone on the phone cause he knew she would play the brave little soldier in front of him instead of opening up completely. he recognized she needed to do it right away or else be ruined by it..... then took her to mexico to be whore for prison gangs or do cartel hits. (yeah not on purpose but it is what he did)
