Ghost Recon: Wildlands - 6 Reasons The Story Completely Fails
2. Capitalism And Imperalism
Stepping into the 'wild lands', the heroes of the game are presented with an opportunity to comment on American imperialism and capitalism.
Obviously, they fail to do so in both cases.
El Sueno is enamoured by capitalist logic, most notably inspiring by example. The man admits that he is so successful for "the sicarios, the farmers, the miners," in order to show them that a better life is possible. This might speak for itself, yet some commentary would be useful to present this trait as negative - it's not enough that it's uttered by El Sueno, who is a bad guy, but his character is actually kind of awesome.
When El Yayo's son questions his father's motivations in striking a deal with the Americans, he criticizes their imperial intentions. Agent Bowman reacts in a very questionable way - "Oh, eat a d___. I'm sick of this anti-American bulls___!" - but once again the game does not comment on this, nor condemn the woman in any way.
