I hated it. The first one was okay but not amazing, the second one make you work for fascist terrorists. The game play was not anywhere near good enough to cover for that. Never tried the third one

Jesus Christ you people can’t put politics aside for two seconds to enjoy anything can you?

That’s literally the plot of the second game. I don’t like fascists, never have even before their rise, never will. Sorry but I don;t want to play a game where I have to play with bigiots

The standard gamer right here. Anything different is immediately horrible and should never be attempted. Also a sprinkle of “it’s popular so it’s bad”

Have you not played the game? The game clearly illustrates how fucked Cerberus is but you’re strung along by them anyway because you have no choice and the fate of the galaxy lies in the balance.
Politics has nothing to do with getting a bad taste in your mouth for having to work with evil characters, that’s what you’re meant to feel by the devs in the story they’re telling.
But to take that as the reason why you hate the game? Now that is absurd lol

Third game turns it around - those guys are the bad guys, they always have been. The second game was an “enemy mine” kind of situation. Not every fascist is facist for facism’s sake. A lot of them think they’re saving tbe world. You, as the player, make sure they get what’s coming to hem.

The gameplay was not goon enough to make we want to skip it and move onto the third one. There was some nice world buildiong and a couple of good moments but over all it was very… underwhelming. It did not live up to the hype, and if 2 was the highlight of the series I felt like I made the right decision
