He's the first character you meet in 2. He's the reason the plot gets started in the first place. I cared but that's because I played the game alot. Carlos isn't the greatest character in the series. But Lin, Carlos, and a bunch of other character that get offed in the earlier games served a grander purpose.
It's better he got a good death scene when Johnny Gat get's killed offscreen by some lame goober you kill halfway through the game before he's replaced by a villain who's just as boring except he's a wearing a Lucha Mask (Dex should've been in charge of the Syndicate the whole time. But what the fuck do I know?). Big whoop.
These games aren't what I'd say are emotionally driven but there was some attempt at pathos in 2. The Boss isn't a complex character but there was an attempt to show his/her actions, his/her psychotic, narcissistic ways had consequences. Dropped in 3 because we're a goofy cartoon now, except when we take a break for Shaundi's grieving bitch hour (Because we ruined her character, but who gives a fuck!?). Grab your dildo bat and put on a Furry costume because who fucking cares anymore? We at Volition sure as fuck don't! Steelports a boring grey city with nothing in it but that's fine! The gameplay is a shallow, husk of it's former self, but that's fine, we have coat physics now!
At least 4 dropped all previous pretense of caring and just went for it. Becoming a parody of itself and contemporary Sci-Fi. 3 didn't know what the fuck it wanted to be.
