They straight up just got rid of all the themes people loved about the first game so it fits their views better. The gameplay is good but the story and everything else is just filled with garbage that not only nobody cares about, but has nothing to do with anything. Just a lot of padding that is controversial and doesn't go anywhere. I really wanted this game to be good. I could barely bring myself to continue after the first few hours, and even though I did, it never got better nor eased up.
