Story sucks

[Shining_Darkness]

Technically spoilers not that anyone cares so I won't bother with spoiler text out of spite for the game's horrible plot.

It is just one contrivance after another right from the first mission. Bunny gets heart, bunny ♥♥♥♥♥ off with heart and gets clapped, bad guy takes heart. Bad guy somehow has way of "inverting heart" already that looks like a gigantic ♥♥♥♥-off facility. Find new heart. Dumbass Jeremy decide he too good for us, Jeremy somehow find heart first. Jeremy take heart to middle of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nowhere, Jeremy get clapped. bad guy get second heart for free.

I don't even care about the third one because I already know where this is going and I hate it. The first one I could let slide, the second one was just dumb. I have no doubt the third will be even moreso. Think I'll be skipping the rest of the cutscenes.

With Jeremy you're a bit wrong.

The moment you know he's gonna be on the mission you know he's going to betray you. Like 100% chance of that happening. That is the stupid part that our team doesn't just try and prevent him from taking it.

But you continue with the mission and find the heart, which is when he shows up and tells you to leave. At which point he steals the heart as if it's a major surprise to the entire team.

It's still stupid, but in another way.

Bunny getting caught in the start made more sense because your character told her to get out of there and the main bad guy caught her.
Jeremy was preventable in every single way.

Thanks seriously because I skipped all the videos.

Gonna be honest I sort of just hated that guy immediately and my eyes and ears stopped working any time he was on screen.

Like I said, I can forgive the first one but after the second one... I sense a pattern that is all too familiar in writing I hate. I was half tuned in before but now? Nope, not giving it the time of day. Calling that bluff.

All that said the start is actually inexcusable because they make the big bad out to be way too strong like we should have literally no chance against that, the dude can literally magneto v wolverine us. There is no counter to that.

I personally liked the intro story, the prologue was decently fun and full of intrigue. And I honestly enjoy the writing. It could be better, but I don't mind it

Dude, I feel you. I skipped any dialogue with Jeremy. Hate that man

In all fairness, the focus was definitely on the gameplay, rather than some super amazing Tolkien tier story telling. I am not going to fault the game for that.
The story beats are fairly basic for a 'one step behind the villain' plot. Not that that is inherently poor writing, in and of itself. Plenty of stories do it well and this one I would say is just okay.
Jeremy, on the other hand, there are no excuses. No matter how desperate one is for capable fighters in a war, the first time he got arrested for eugenics should have been enough to tell people he is not fit for duty.
That and his insufferable attitude was obviously pissing everyone off. Even the commander Alpha got had to lay down the pimp hand on him. His constant dereliction of duty and insubordination would have been grounds for dishonorable discharge alone.
That being said, I would say Jeremy is actually well written, as an antagonist. Superiority complex, holier than thou, self important and narcissistic. Kind of redundant there, but you get it.
He has a solid, 'the ends justifies the means' mentality and the will to see it through.

sorry for the wall of text.
TL;DR
story is mid, but not bad. Jeremy is a bad hero/douche

It's clearly made with AI. The voices, The models, and most of all, the storyline script.

The more I play the more awful the experience becomes.

[SoundPrank]

i couldn't care less about story in game like this, skipped everything ofc

[Sweets]

Jeremy getting clapped was way more brutal than i thought this game would go, like we got skint clad bunny over here and Jeremy just got his arm blown off and face disfigured, follow by him being chuck into a hole.

[Saurdaukar]

i skipped the entire story.

[Gillium]

I have no idea what the story is about or wtf a descendant even is.

Am i missing something?

Actual gameplay starts after ~1.5 hours

It does sucks. You get the third heart. Still have no idea what the guide is even saying. Is she designed to destroy humanity or not? So she encourage us to use the heart by dissuading us from using the heart?

Honestly, it actually feels like things are getting translated too literally. Like there are phrases and things that don't make sense in english, but I could understand it being a bit deeper in korean. Not saying that the story is good, but I think worse than that... It feels like the VA's were given a script and held at gun point.

My gripe is that this is supposed to be an elite, organized team of human militants... But everyone has the emotional regulation of a toddler. EVERYONE.
The most rational and coolheaded person so far in the story has been... Gley... And if any character is going to be hysterical it would be the FRENZIED MOTHER LOOKING FOR HER DAUGHTER. But here we are, she is somehow the most coolheaded.
