To Anon who told me “SH2 isn’t that bad you should give it a shot”, why did you lie to me so bluntly? Congrats, bro, you’ve prank'd me into playing it. Well done.
Sure it feels like the game had the potential and it can be fun at times I mean this isn’t exactly the worst Atlus game I’ve ever played. Still it’s bad, no wonder it flopped.
Every aspect feels so underdeveloped and I can’t even see the demons by my side in my party, that’s a really important thing, to me at least it is, this always gives me the camaraderie feeling of some sort, like when you recruit a demon and think “oh there she is, my gal pixie!” they only appear during Sabbath and when scouting dungeons (I really like the idea, but again, the execution is just bad)
Sure, I get it they went for a more character focused approach but SMT4 did it better, SMT5 did it better and without ruining the formula, I just don’t know what were they thinking
Also there’s no consistency in the art style of portraits and characters models, they look like placeholders at best. feels like they outsourced different parts of the game to different people who worked on it completely unaware of the vision
And why the fuck does it called Soul Hackers 2 anyway? Because of the literal interpretation of 'soul hacking'? that’s just dumb it’s not soul hacking it just shoving a Balm of Life up a characters ass for plot reasons. It is clearly not a soul hackers game, not even close. It doesn’t have that feel to it. The whole thing feels like a fic at best, who wrote the dialogues? An intern? Wada’s retarded, autistic niece? Who?
I can’t believe Atlus released a game in this state
And the sad part? All of this could’ve been fixed, all of it, easily, they weren’t in a rush to dump the game to the market, so why? Why did they do it?
I mean I’ve already bought the game so I’m definitely beating it. I really, truly hope it’ll get better but I doubt it
That's all I'm going to bed now
