They actually made the game better gameplay wise. Gunplay is smoother, abilities can combo seamlessly into whatever type of gameplay you're trying to go for, and animations feel a lot more satisfying.

It just sucks that the second game's story was so fucking good that it makes this entire game's story seem pointless LOL. They just needed to make a better story and they could've had the money banger they wanted. Characters that are making me go "MAN I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT'S GOING ON" and cutscenes and lore that have me phone banging. tale as old as time type shit
