Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 196797, member: 3864"] I think the problem is partly that the first game had you uncover the secret history of the world, pretty much in it's entirety; there's a few dangling threads, but that genie isn't going back in the bottle, and it's pretty hard to top a second time around. I kinda like Aloy in the second game, but primarily just her interactions with the "real" antagonist, who we don't meet until waaaaayyyyyyy at the back of the game. As with a lot of open-world games, the pacing of the plot is really awkward. (I've said it before on here some months back, but Forbidden West feels like it's straining against the confines of it's genre. The game feels like it could have gone in a direction more akin to Mass Effect 2 in some ways - with less focus on exploration for example - but market expectations being what they are, they had to stick with another game like the first. Oh, also I didn't realize MISS ANGELA BASSETT!!! was in this game till damn near the end, I can't believe they pulled that kind of talent and barely used her). [/QUOTE]
