Line 27:
** Bypassing plot-related keypads gives you skill points. However, they can be bypassed with code more than once, while still giving you a reward. If bypassed ten times in row, that little keypad in the corner can give you 1000 skill points. Repeatedly.
** A bug in The Game of The Year edition turns off the music in the third visit to Hell's Kitchen. Given how bleak things have become at that point in the story, however, the silence is actually quite fitting.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]:
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]:* After the game's release, [[Real Life]] has had many events disturbingly similar to parts of the game's backstory, such as the NYC skybox having no Twin Towers (memory issues), a "Grid zoning" law was passed, and upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court, that allows the government to seal off sections of cities, etc.
** Two MJ12 soldiers discuss FEMA's ability to usurp the elected government based on [[Real Life]] [[Paranoia Fuel|existing Executive Orders]]. The mishandling of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath in [[Real Life]], though, has caused much of the public to view FEMA as [[Hanlon's Razor|being incapable of managing a hot dog stand, let alone hijack the US government]].
** A lighter example at some point you get to see a gas station's prices. While gas prices did start a rising trend at the time of the game's release, they were no where near the prices predicted in the game. Several years later, you'd be lucky to even find a gas station with those prices.
** The NSF Commander and the starving kid you meet at Battery Park spout off lines that wouldn't be out of place in an Occupy protest. They are optional conversations though, the former will come up if you interrogate him further, and the latter if you refuse to give him food when he asks and demand information from him when he talks to you.
** Other resistance members make remarks that wouldn't be unheard of in circles skeptical of governmental power.
* [[Hype Aversion]]: Being hailed one of the best PC games ever for over ten years straight no doubt puts some people off from it.
* [[Les Yay]]: There's a pair of women in the Lucky Money Club who are quite clearly into each other.
