I think an interesting parallel between the first and second game are how they both are Swery's interpretation of pre-existing fictional villages. The first game was obviously his exploration of Twin Peaks, and this game was a fascinating recreation of Cumtown. Most of the game involves a very stupid late 20's man talking about movies he saw on UPN, and then occasionally he does a racially insensitive accent. There is a honest to god part of the game where York imitates a black man's speech pattern in such an offensive way that I shouted "Hell yeah dude" at my television.
It's also Michael Jeffrey Jordan of transphobia. I'm not going to defend this game, it might very well come from a place of hatred, but the way it goes about it is so over the top and offensive that I had a hard time getting upset at the game. If you were upset by it, you should be upset and I wouldn't blame you. The game opens up with ass shaking in front of the camera in weed panties and then a flaming skull. The main character then talks about how he smokes fat blunts.
Everything about this game is magical to me. Like, normally I'm a stick in the mud. I get skeeved out by people who enjoy Detroit: Become Human because that game's evil. This game in some ways is more evil, and I give it a total pass. The game runs like total shit. The plot is magnitudes less grounded than the first game. The movie talk is bigger and better than ever. If you wanna see a grown man talk to an unrelated 13 year old girl about Training Day while doing sick skateboard tricks, there's a game for that! I don't want to say that I was disappointed by the original, but this game's basehead direction is inspired, and even the dull parts of the gameplay aren't nearly as boring as the first game.
I don't know how this game got released. It shouldn't have, but he's here and we have to live with it. I love this game and recommend it to nobody, even fans of the original.
