I thoroughly enjoyed the first game. If I could combine the first and second somehow, it would be perfect for me. WD2 was great fun. The NPCs on the street were more reactive to what was happening and it was awesome. I liked how you could engage with them (my personal favorite was insulting them). Starting gang wars never gets old. The hacking was an improvement and Marcus wasn't always staring at his phone. Side quests were more engaging. I liked how different the characters you meet in Dedsec were, how you could talk to them after missions, and how they'd talk to you. However, I thought that the story was jumbled and everywhere. It was almost too light hearted and I couldn't take anything seriously. There didn't seem to ever be a real threat. More than once I felt like I should have read some sort of outside material to understand who certain characters were.

Big fan of the gameplay, not so much the main story. Still great game.

I agree with just almost everything you've said.

I'm not done with the storyline yet but I think I can see what you mean. I feel like the NViTE mission should have been followed with a series of missions where things get progressively worse for everybody until they have to lay low and temporarily sever their connection to each other or, at least, Marcus for a small period of time. Que the Swelter Skelter mission. It’d also give said mission more of an impact. It would also have lend more credence to Marcus claiming something along the lines of how he's endangering the others because of what happened. I feel like there was something missing between NViTE and Swelter Skelter like some missions were missing. They had the perfect set-up is basically what I'm feeling.

I love the characters and the interactions with them which is why I wanted more than what we got especially since I feel like there is more to the characters beneath the surface. Basically, I want more of the characters because of how much I liked them. I do still feel that the story is an improved over the last one especially since it does not feel like you could take out the hacker and technology aspect of it and still have the same story. The story fits better with its setting and I like what they try to explore and show. That and the topic of computer security really cannot be stressed enough.  

So yeah, big fan of the gameplay and like the story but I can definitely see room for improvements in the story department. All in all, though, great game so far.
