my ex-girlfriend loved the first game, she even got a massive tattoo of the cat on her back. The second game? it was horrible. It took everything that was great about the first game and just said “fuck it” and toss it out the window. graphically it was nice but it just lacked that insanity of the first game, the story was weak and just didn’t draw you in like the first did.
And make no mistake McGee, on his own, is a one trick pony. He got fired from Id for bad level designs (which, depending on who you ask is controversial) he knocked it out of the park with Alice, but fumbled with Madness Returns and…ugh…Bad Day LA which NO ONE remembers.
So I mean kudos to fans that like this game but only if McGee stays far away from a potential third game in the series I wouldn’t hold out much hope.
best thing EA can do is just drop the rights to it back to American McGee and let him fumble his way to a third game. His die hard fans, of which there are many, will love it but I imagine it would get critically panned just like all his other games with the exception of the first Alice.
Many former id guys when they go out on their own don’t have the best track record.
