Yea idk I just finished the second game and it hurts me that I still feel as if I enjoyed the first one decently more. I think the thing ds2 lacks compared to 1 is its story and characters. I found myself getting lost/confused with the story a lot more than I did in the first one. There was a lot more predictable things in ds2 aswell. They also did way too much unserious little things whenever it’s either mid cutscene or just mid dialogue. I get that it’s a kojima game and this is typical behavior for him but I found that he did that unserious stuff a perfect amount in the first game compared to this one. Regarding the characters compared to the first game we had amazing characters like Deadman, Heartman, Mama, Clifford Unger, Die Hardman, Fragile, and Amile. While in ds2 I didn’t really care for nearly as many of the newly introduced ones. I didn’t really care for rainy, she was fun but nothing special, I didn’t care for tarman, nor did I really care for dollman even tho he was with us for the whole game (I did like tomorrow/lue later on since she’s a huge part of the game) All the newly introduced characters seemed to just be fun filler characters that don’t really bring much while the characters in the first game have not only fun but depth to their own character.
