    ... I have 7000+ kills by now... why should his suicide shock me? I mean - I blew up, shot down, drive over, killed guys with grenades that then blew up their friends,... killed a guy that was on the phone with his daughter.... what makes this one special?

    One of the things this game does exeptionally well for a game - and funnily enough 99% of the reviews don't even notice it and critize the game for depicting the 4 USA saviors - it shows all the flaws of the Kingpin-strategy and how complicated the situation in those cartel dominated areas are. Listen to the radio and the intel files, even banter and you will see so many grey areas of such conflicts pointed out. Both endings of the game show how infuriating difficult the issues are and no single bullet nor thousands of them would make things right - neither sitting on the side and watching it unfold. Life is complicated, so no simple answer is the right one and Wildlands has embraced it in its storytelling,

    This is because most likely 99% of the critics only played a "portion" of the game in a vacuum of self-righteous indignation. I would venture to say that their level of life experience does not go beyond ordering an iced latte from a local barista.

    Thats almost poetic. And so true.

    But didn't El Emisario simply want to make his grandfather proud?

    Sure and many people caught up in the cartels around the world just end up there because of the lack of options. Still you don't mention them - probably because they are called 'sicarios' and don't have individual names and nobody presents you their story Also not every Unidad soldier is corrupt, yet you are shooting those guys without questioning. There is no black and white, just different shades of grey (and there are more than 50 ).
