I started by hating this game, based in the leaks that I read and watched... I really hated it... story wise.
But then, after talking about the game with a friend, who didn't even play the 1st game, he kinda showed me some good points about everything else, since the story looked really bad... He bought me the game and then I started playing it... And guys, I'm really in love with it... I totally changed my mind... I wanted to kill Abby in so many ways when I read the spoilers lol... but then, after actually playing it, even with that very bad written plot in the first 2 hours of the game, the rest of it looks really awesome... the combat, the characters, the art of the game, even abby, I kinda like her...
Sadly the game was bashed so bad, that it ended up killing the sales... (it sold many copies, I know, but it could've sold a lot more...
So please, if you didn't buy the game based on the "plot" or because of the lgbt agenda that it might have, I must say, give it a try, because even if you don't like the story (what I doubt, if you actually play it), at least everything else is really worth your time.
