If by LiS2 you mean Before the Storm, that was only okay IMO. Not bad, but not great either. Very average.
If by LiS2 you mean the one where the two guys are running from the cops, I had no interest in it. Partially because it didn’t continue the story of Max (at the time LiS2 came out, I still was interested in a continuation of the original games ending), but also because it seemed to focus on social/ideological/identity politics from the marketing. The first game didn’t really mention that stuff at all, it was a story that was mostly devoid of it. I don’t engage with that stuff even here on Lemmy, I block everything political left and right, so I just avoided LiS2 altogether. It just rubbed me the wrong way, the marketing gave me the feeling the game was going to try to tell me how to think, so I just didn’t have any interest in it. Maybe other people are like me and didn’t buy it for the same reason, who knows?
After LiS2, I just lost total interest in the entire LiS series. The community didn’t help either, since as I mentioned before, they were pretty insufferable.
Yeah exactly. I don’t mean before the storm. I guess I was the target market for LiS2! I thought it expanded the scope of the basic game mechanics in such a cool and interesting way. It was big and bold and I’m really sad it missed the mark with most

Very healthy decision on your part 👍
