I'll keep it quick. So...I was excited for this game, as I really enjoyed the first one. the first few hours of gameplay, I was put off by the clunky mechanics, but the art was good, and the story had promise. 11 hours in...I just couldn't go on. The game was more of a chore than anything. Layers upon layers of fetch quests and gameplay that doesn't flow well. I was seriously only playing the game because I spent money on it and was hoping to get interested. So, I traded it in yesterday. It felt unrefined and I didn't care at all about any of the characters. Very shallow development. It's too bad, but this game was a disappointment. Not sure how it received an 8 from Gamespot.
