This game plays like Anime or comic book movies: MC is reverted to his villain persona, despite telling us all there were decades of peace and prosperity with him as a hero at the helm - turns out he was still a geek, simply churning out inventions, while his very brainy and devoted minions—absolutely fabulous women, actually—did the social networking behind the scenes to make it work. MC is no tony Stark to smooth over both his allies and his enemies, he can barely woe a woman or two for a good time.
Because this is comics and anime inspired - if MC is a villain, he will trip over himself and all by himself sabotage his own plans.
MC changed reality for the worse, MC lost his own invention, MC is back being the outcast rebel while lacking the fire from the first game.
