CONS AND IT WILL CONTAIN MASSIVE SPOILERS:


The story as is is good, but I argue it goes all over the place its kinda messy for me in my first play through I mean really the villain Bob Page I only saw him at the beginning of the game and now he shows his face to me at the end? I don't why, but I wanted Walton Simmons to be the main bad guy, he seems more like a perfect opposite to JC Denton, Bob is just some Powerhungry megalomaniac in my eyes. And the introduction of certain people and I was like really, THE ILLUMINATI IS IN THIS GAME?! Seriously I would not expect them to even be here and as I was playing they just came out of the blue in Hong Kong. And also they were decendent from the Knights Templar. I was dissipointed with the aliens in this game I mean you have Greys but they don't have that much relevance to the plot, I mean they are here because they are here :P

Now onto gameplay issues, though it did not bother me, I still feel I should call out somethings I.E. the Skills you get in this game. Think about what I am gonna say:

JC Denton is a highly trained cybernetically enhanced secret agent and he is unskilled in firing a rifle and pistol, using a taser, baton, knife, hacking computers and electronics, and picking locks? You think he be skilled in all of this by default. I am sorry but I just I find it ridiculous. Also some of the augmentations are bullshit with their choices such as the increased strength aug which either makes you lift heavier objects or do massive damages with melee weapons which in real life would have served both purposes.

Also gunplay just feels weak, I hated the fact that the Assualt Rifle fires a five-round burst, you have no idea how much I wasted precious ammo.

Finally I just like to call out one thing, the part you got captured by Unatco and Gunther Hermen was waiting. At first, judging that this game can let me tackle any situation, I thought I could escape by first throwing a Gas Grenade to stun everybody than activate the clocking modual and just run homefree.......but than I hit an invisible wall because the game's plot dictates I have to be captured or else its game over.........BULLSHIT!


So despite all those cons I still really liked this game and glad I finally got to play it I was playing Modded with the better textures and it looked really nice. Cons are now listed Yes so after the really analyzing them I decided to do the Join Illumiati ending though the con is that it will be 20th century capitalism all over again, but hey we lived through that. I was gonna do the ending where I merged with Helious but I don't if even JC would be a benevolant absolute ruler without falling to corruption. But I hated the New Dark Age because it goes against all the progress humanity has done from an industrial reasons and enlightenment reasons.
