How's the story so far? Specifically, does it retain the sense of humor mostly present in part 1?
I'm a bit on the fence about this game because while I do trust Platinum's gameplay, 2's story left me disappointed.
While some people like to scoff at nonsensical story of 1, I think the pacing of its cutscenes was incredible. I can recount nearly every single cutscene and remember something funny happening. The graveryard, Enzo's Car, Jet in slow time, "Bust a cap in yo' ass", Jeanne on the motorcycle, Meeting with Luka, First boss, another Luka meet, another badass Jeanne meeting, an angel that takes a liking to Cereza, Pissing Boy statue and the second (I think it was the second?) boss, 2 more Jeanne fights, Route 66, Water boss, Helicopter and missiles, Luka's Escape, "Don't fuck with the witch", entire last boss...
2 had a lot of walking and talking, LORE, and anime-esque "But what IS happening?!", and while 1 had that, it was basically a second-long flashback to Bayo's past or Luka screaming "Father!".
Is the story more batshit insane like 1 or trying to be more serious and coherent like 2?
