I watched an entire walkthrough of this game front to back, some parts multiple times. I can SAFELY say that this is one of the worst written stories that I have ever seen out of any section of media (movies and shows included). They have ruined the series and completely forgot about what the first game did so well. Nothing made sense, there is no satisfaction in anything that happens. It is an utter joke.
Visually and in terms of polish, it is one of the best games I've seen, but the story and writing is absolutely appalling.
(This is also me completely distancing myself from the anti LGBT crowd, it's fine to have gay characters, go wild, but when the final product turns out this bad, something must have gone wrong.)
