Okay, so I was going to make a post with quotes from those that didn't like the 2nd Season (Series as the Brits call it), because of this reason or that reason. But there were too many quotes that I kept getting tired of clicking on the "Quote adding it to the list.
So, I'll just sum up and then post my comments on what was said: "The 2nd Series was a mess, I'm out!" "Female protagonists, I'm out!" "No Mei as an LI, I'm out!" "The writing sucks so I'm going to leave a shit post and then have a big pissing contest with the writer because I can do better. Oh, wait..... the writer replied and made me look like a jackass, I'm out!" "Lesbians! I'm out!" "No incest, I'm out!"
I think that's all of it summed up. My response: "Buh Bye!" "Don't let the door hit you, where the good Lord split you!" "If you don't like what you see here, get the fuck out!" (That last one I paraphrased from the Extreme song "Get the Funk Out". Good song, look it up.).
Yes, opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one.
Did I like that Mei wasn't going to be a love interest? No, not really. But that didn't matter that much to make me not play this 2nd season out. I still am catching up with other games, so I have yet to have a peek at ep. 6 (And I'm dying to see it, but in good time). I happen to like the story writing, being a person that has a taste of writing things of my own (currently writing dialog for a Skyrim SE mod that I happened to get some talented mod creators and a VA to do all of the magic stuff that I can't do), I think it was well written. People that do not like it.....well, again. That's your opinion that you have a right, as a human, to have. But no need to try and make your point be having arguments with others in here, let alone the writer of said game. You're in waaaaayyyyy above your head with that. Go swim back to the shallow end to save yourself from drowning.
Lesbians? What's the problem? Wanted man/man action? There are other games out there (I don't look for them, but I'm sure they're out there.) that should have the man/man thing in it.
Female Protagonists: Hmmm, let me see if I have the, somewhat, definition as to what a Protagonist is. Protagonist: Main player/character in a game or book. So, by saying that there were so many female protagonists in this season/series is saying that Jensen is no longer in the story and that you are making choices/seeing the perspective of only one of the many different females in this one. Nope, unless I missed the switch, it's still about Jensen.
Incest: Come on, we all need a break from it in a good story now and then. At least I needed it. And this one is a good reason for that break from it.
The 2nd season/series was a mess? How? Because the focus was off of Jensen and no fucking in the game? Hello....Lesbians (I'm not one to not like a good girl/girl action. I'm a living, breathing, married (For too damn long) man! I love some good girl/girl action!)!
Lastly, back to the writing again, and how this season played out (That I have played so far. Up to ep. 5 only). Jensen was damn near dead. I knew that coming into this season. So, unless you wanted really bad writing at the beginning of this season, were you expecting in the 1st ep. that Jensen fucked a woman on the first image and made a full recovery and out after the "Ghost"?
Boy, are you in the wrong place. Anyone should have expected that this was going to be more of a supporting cast season. I expected as much. Oh, but wait, I'm not part of the team and I have a mindset of a writer, so I guess not everyone could have seen that coming. You can't end one season, with Jensen falling from that height. To where, at the beginning of this season, Jensen fucking one of the women in the story and a flashback to how he recovered and why he is fucking a woman. If that's what you expected, then go find that shitty writing in another game. It won't be in here.
And with that, I will end this full page editorial and say my last line after I thank the entire team for the 2nd Season and I will return when I play the 6th ep. to make my final thoughts public.
Thank you for your time, I now send you back to your regularly scheduled thread discussion already in progress.
