Act 1 and Act 2 are piss easy, but the number of perp setups that can’t be skipped is fucked.
Then comes Act 3 with that absolute rapestorm of a grind, plus ACT 3 is just outright shit, having to do it three times is total bullshit.
And after all that, the Mastermind challenge only pays $3.5 million and takes almost 19+ hours to finish.
What were they thinking?
You have to replay this with teams of 3 or 2 to unlock Mastermind Tier II and III, paying $1.5 million and $600k, respectively.
Seriously, doing it with a full team of 4 was already tough enough.
The original Mastermind challenge never required this much bullshit

Going to enjoy some planes before they roll out identification. Kinda makes sense they'd just drop the beast system on you from above. In a sense the system is quite clever, and actually impedes on no freedoms, people just don't realize and so they find themselves in it's midst and join it under the pretense that it's normal but really the beleif that it's normal is actually a concession so in that sense the ones that make it write themselves off morally for what becomes of those that allow themseleves to be absorbed into. The internet is also a great perversion of the natural interpersonal relations of people and it's precisely in the inadvertant acceptance of the pretense that it's normal that you suddenly lose the last barriers to freedom in the face of it's threat. The dignification of the largest artifice to ever be is the concretization of false hegemony, but you'd be the ultimate schizo and a luddite to suggest otherwise, which is where the mind games come out to play. Really when you think about it the internet is not a tool but a proxy, but I digress. Enough about Clifford's antics.
