The story is actually really good. Most of the hate is unjustified imo... either whiners who can't handle representation or people mad that a character... well, isn't around. It's safe to say that the game isn't for someone easily bothered by fiction.

Keeping to spoilers here, so be warned. I've been going the leaks and the reviews of people and I don't honestly agree with the message of letting go of the killer of your father regardless of their pain or suffering. That's not good storytelling. That's hella dumb.

It's only hella dumb if you don't experience the journey and just go off of angry gamers. I think A LOT of people made up their minds before the game came out, and they went into it WANTING to hate it. It's easy to hate something if you want to.

And a lot of 'internet' reviewers are infinitely less trustworthy than any media source tbh. Your angry joes of the world etc. watching a few different 'reviewers' stream the game and half the time they're not paying attention... you can't give a game a fair review that way.

They really did the main character dirty regardless. They did it pretty early on in a very gruesome manner of all things. Using Varian Wrynn as a good example here they didn't do him dirty and still had him do some amazing things at the start of a game.

Apples and oranges. That character was never invincible. He was human. Older. A shotgun to the leg isn't going to be something anyone bounces back from immediately. Sad and emotional? Yes. But entirely fitting the tone of the world built in Part 1.
