Well I cannot say that it has gotten better in terms of how entertaining the game is with the new Story. Again, the voice acting and dialogues, as well as the cutscenes are just horrible in my opinion. We have the nerdy guy, high tech brat that rebels against her mother, a corrupt military guy, the betrayer and the defector... everything that is cookie-cutter was in there. Okay, I have to say that I wasn't expecting something being reinvented, but that was just meh and could have been implemented way better.... Then the missions... Again, okay there is not much that can be said about them. Mostly the samey stuff like Greenstone had.
But the final mission.... what the hell didn't you understand in regards to the drones? I mean you also mentioned it in your own teaser. 'No one wants to fight the damn things' and yet you once more create an endboss that is just more drones that are controlled by Professor X... This whole thing is getting more and more Scify nonsense again. The kidnapped operators strapped to those mind sucking VR chairs..... Sorry, but that is just ridiculous and it did start rather promising with the silent approach.
Also those damn drones are still like on speed spraying bullets from their limitless supply. Playing it on the new immersive version resulted in me getting an injury almost with every hit, stumbling and dying. Not sure, if that is a bug, or really intended. The whole fight was just BS. I am happy for everyone who enjoys this, but for me that is just what I said BS. Also so far I didn't really see how you would spend 7+ hours of playtime in it. Well maybe if you add walking, driving and getting stuck somewhere as well as retries due to dying through other bugs, or the now what seems to be an even more sticky cover version to it. (I couldn't walk through a door again, because the character just stuck to the sides every time I tried)
Another thing I have to say is that I think you really screwed over the people that bought only the main game. Adding finding Midas into a payed DLC is just a shady practice of getting others to buy the stuff as well. So far that is my take on the story. Nothing really has improved here in my opinion.
Oh and one thing. Fisher and Coste were already on the island for months and didn't even try to contact Nomad after he started to wreak havoc all over the island?????? A little hard to believe this part of the story, even IF they wanted to stay hidden.
