I genuinely wonder what the fuck is going on with Inti’s writing sometimes. The games get hard carried by the art, music, and gameplay but the story keeps getting weaker.
IX2 with its pizza cutter and GV3 making GV an untouchable super mode (and a dog) just seem so terribly written, like they don’t know how to continue the plot past the plot of the first two games and are flailing around.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Ypsilon and Zed, but the way it’s jumped all over the place since then drives me insane. I guess it’s better than “here’s a new set of assholes for GV to beat up, have fun” every 6 months, but MMZ managed to make it 4 games with a good, consistent plot.
Is it just me?
