Jason thinks he’s becoming a hero when really he’s becoming no better than Vaas. He gives in to his anger and becomes a monster, this side of him being embodied by the Rakyat, vs how he initially just wants to escape this strange world that we too are strangers too and leave with his friends who are horrified at who/what Jason has become. As players we want to side with the Rakyat, the gameplay is fun, the game accounts for the fact that we’re gunna be murdering everything outside of cutscenes, that very much is part of the story. Almost everything in that game plays into the player experience and narrative.

The other games don’t have that so much. The action/gameplay itself may get better, but it doesn’t fit so well with how the characters themselves act. A fed would’ve been calling in backup. A realistic Ajay and friends starts a Twitter campaign after acting as a glorified tourist and shakily buddying up to Pagan Min (getting the secret ending) during his mission to lay his mothers ashes to rest. Jason was thrown into a situation in which he had to become a monster in order to get out with his friends, he wasn’t gunna find another way off the Island, and in the process he in a way embraced it.
