Ready or Not - The 2nd video game to let you flash bang a small child

A new america is currently kicking my teeth in but ive gotten it done once with the AI (P90 you're so good). The conversation in the bank vault was a great little tid bit, and im glad to see they brought the MLO back after seeing them in the PVP mode the alpha had and getting little drops of them in the background
The decision at the end was neat, and the cutscene was a welcome surprise.
 
I've actually been enjoying trying to beat A New America. I'm still getting my ass kicked, but it is a good pain. It doesn't feel bullshit like No Good Deed or Greased Palms where everything's too open and I have no idea where I should start or where the baddies are shooting from; when I get owned it's more due to my own poor decision making. I actually get to USE door wedges and not feel like I'm gambling on whether or not it's a good idea to do so. Not to mention no time limit until the very end and no hostages, so my cortisol levels stay nice and low until the climax, when you should be sweating. I feel like I'm actually being challenged instead of bullied by the devs.
Of course, I went in knowing what to expect so that's probably had an effect on my experience.
And I did actually beat A New America once. I just got a C because I domed the triggerman at the very end like a retard.

Because ofcourse they had to go with this retarded fan theory.

Schizo theory time; the Wendigoon video probably influenced the DLC's direction being focused on the more schizo side of RON.

I'm pretty sure they set this up all the way back when they released not!Unibomber, possibly even earlier. I enjoy the Kojima-esque nonsense but it's only effective because you have "regular" police shit to contrast it with.
I suppose you could've gone full schizo from the very beginning. A SWAT 4 clone with a full-on Deus Ex conspiracy plot would probably do well.

Why is it that almost every post of yours I've ever read is fucking retarded?

They had models in game since the first alpha release, they were the hostile force in the stupid PvP mode they were trying to push and they used to be the enemies in Carriers of the Vine. The game had some ARG related to them as advertising also.

It would be a lot more satisfying if they didn't feel like they came out of nowhere and kind of retroactively change things so the MLO were related to them. There was really no hints from what I know which is why I never really liked this line in the """""story""""" or """""""""""""""""""lore."""""""""""""""""""

I know about all that, I was referring more to the idea that Judge being an MKUltrafag was just a "retarded fan theory". Granted, I'm partially responding to tired cat and he's a fucking idiot who never knows what he's talking about, but I'm fairly certain that twist or whatever you want to call it has been foreshadowed since forever.

I'm not sure I know what you mean, I didn't notice any sort of retconning. Unless you're talking about the goons from 3 Letter Triad being secretly in cahoots with the MLO, which seems more like a reveal than a retcon.

The issue is that any cinematic plot doesn't work with how open ended the levels are. Stuff like the rape basement lose their wow factor when you corner camped midway through. Or the cove level when you reach the depth and then need to search for the last gringo for half an hour afterwards.

And I can't really see how the lore really impacts the games or makes a lot of sense. Like you make a supersoldier and then get him to be a regular cop?
