What a shitshow this turned into. What even happened between 2 and 3? We had a sequel plot set up and nothing was done with it, what happened to the story with the ruthless expansionist Agency and the potential we’d be playing as a Cell agent to finally take down the Director and maybe even the agent we played as in 2? It feels like it was just ditched for a generic “Down with corporatism, up with liberty!” Plotline. I watched the movie version of 3 and was just scratching my head wondering wtf this new choice in art style was, airships, neon light armor, energy weapons and a predictable story? What gives? I was already assuming by that this TerraNova (or whatever they’re called) to be either an ally or rival to the Agency that you’d be sent in to assist with the rebels or remove so the Agency could take the city for themselves. But no, you’re ambushed by the generic super weapon (chimera), regenerated by Echo, she **DOESN’T** remove your Agency tracker chip, and when the Director gets back into contact with you, he’s surprisingly cooperative with the resistance, even though he should rightly know they’ll be an issue in the future, and it ends on a sappy note about hope for a better future, rather than the Director playing Echo like the overly trusting novice she is, using her to get as much public support for the Agency as possible, and then calling the highest authority members of the Militia to a private meeting where the Agent flawlessly executes them, then make up an elaborate coverup about it being a terror attack by the last remnants of TerraNova, making it easy to enforce the Agency’s will upon the people of this new city. There, I just came up with a plot point that keeps true to the Agency’s real personality.
