FUGA 2
Exactly what you thought with FUGA 2, unfortunately.
The primary story of FUGA 1 is about French war orphan anthros fighting the evil invading not!Germans.
The primary plot was about forgotten super technology tanks having a grudge match.
The main theme was that using French war orphans as ammunition was bad. Most people didn't need to learn this lesson. Maybe Japan has a deep cultural desire to do this, and be told not to?
Well, actually, no. The answer is a lot more simple. Most gamers did everything they could to avoid using the Soul Cannon. Like in Bioshock: Infinite, how almost all gamers refused to throw the baseball. Or how gamers refused to commit warcrimes in Spec Ops: The Line.
Bioshock rejoyced.
Spec Ops made the war crimes mandatory.
Well, in FUGA 2, the Soul Cannon is now mandatory. If you get damaged over half during a boss battle, it will automatically turn on, and teleport a war orphan into the chambre. You then have a 20 something count down, (I honestly don't know how time works), until it fires, and you lose a kid. This forces you to fight in a completely reckless way or lose one of your war orphans.
There is, of course, a third option, and that's simply to not play it.
Seriously, the soul cannon was the worst part of the original. The battle mechanics were mid at best, and was saved largely by characters, and helping them fight ennui during the intermissions.
So, why the ever loving fuck would I want to play a game that forces me to use the only good part of it, the characters, as living ammunition?
While the gameplay is almost identical to the original, with minor changes, like giving Hack a machinegun, (his French dialogue has him make machinegun noises during some of his special attacks), it extends it beyond what is fun for the game. This is something that a lot of games do, they extend the mechanics passed the breaking point. This will often take a game from challenging to frustrating to the worst it can possibly be, boring. Like how in Megaman X6, the right answer was to just ignore all incoming damage, as the game drops health and new lives like House pops vicodin.
They also need to undo the friendship, because building the friendship between the war orphans is basically the game, with a simple, (but functional), turn-based RPG slapped on.
To be fair, FFX also has a simple, but functional, turn-based RPG combat engine slapped onto it, and it's still one of the best games of all time.
FUGA 2 just takes the gameplay passed the point it's fun at all, expands the idiotic plot, adds Gundam escalation, and forces one of the most idiotic game mechanics on you.
It was in FUGA, was equally idiotic, but was also entirely optional.
FUGA 2 also has no idea what it's doing with the plot, and the tutorial is extremely heavy handed, to the point that most of the useful story is used up before you even finish it.
If you have any interest in FUGA 2, just play FUGA 1.
If you played FUGA 1 and want more FUGA, then simply replay FUGA 1. FUGA 2 adds one more war orphan, who, don't get me wrong, is a fun addition, but everything else just makes the game worse.
God, I still can't get over how they made using French war orphans as ammunition MANDATORY. I mean, seriously, you're not fun, and you are not clever.
