I like how the game introduces Power Armor where you're able to take on multiple dudes with the strength of 15x men ...
Only to be trapped and watch as one of your strongest allies (a very skilled female character wearing one) struggle against a single dude who's not wearing Power Armor in hand-to-hand combat.
You know, when I heard about that scene, I half expected them to be showing off how skillful the attacker was in using the opponents strength against her, As a fighting game fan, I'm kinda used to seeing this kinda thing like when Massive Half Naked Russian men get thrown around and their ass handed to them by a school-girl half their size.
Needless to say, I found the scene kinda disappointing and the fight wasn't even all that good, if it was like the climax of an action movie levels, I would be able to look past the massive plot holes but NOPE!
I know they needed the extra budget to pay for Kevin Spacey's face but it's just one of several small things that bug me about the writing in that game.
Like how you just so happen to lose your arm at the start of the game right as your friend has their arm stuck in a door, I feel like they missed out on having YOU plant the bomb there and dramatically have to tear your own arm off to avoid getting killed.
Granted, it would result in the entire funeral scene being cut but just think how much more awesome the first half an hour of the game would be then.
You wouldn't even need to change the plot all that much, just instead of:
Irons: You served with my son. Want a Job and a Bionic Arm?

Irons: HOLY SHIT BALLS THAT WAS BADASS! WANT A JOB AND A BIONIC ARM!? XD
