First of all, I really enjoyed DS2. Maybe not quite as much as 1, but I’m actually not even sure, because DS2’s finale was just several hours of my jaw on the floor.
That said, my main critique of 2 is the BB gameplay. Stop here if you don’t want spoilers. This thread will likely be chock full of them.
One of my favorite parts of the first game was taking care of BB, and the fact that it had real gameplay consequences if you didn’t keep an eye on Lou’s status. I was hoping we would see this expanded on in 2, with all the complexities of taking care of a toddler while still trying to deliver.
Because Lou wouldn’t be in the pod, you’d have to make sure she was fed, clean, got a nap, etc. Maybe they thought that would get to complicated, but I felt like the BB care gameplay was a big part of what made DS1 so unique. It was an interesting bit of strangeness, hiding behind a rock and comforting a fetus while surrounded by sci-fi ghosts.
Anyone else have this feeling? What would you have wanted to see from BB gameplay in 2?
