Out of curiosity, what'd you think of it? Better, worse, or about the same as the first game?

I liked it a lot more than I was expecting to and I'm glad it played the story straight since I was half expecting it have some dumb twist with regard to Rachel's motives but on the other hand it still felt kind of superfluous as all unplanned prequels/side stories tend to. I was also surprised at the tone since I was expecting it to be a lot more heavy handed with regard to what happens to Rachel (and eventually Chloe, maybe) but instead the ending and non-serious bits focused more on them enjoying the short time they had together which was, refreshing? On the whole the original was better but nothing soured me on BtS like the ending of LiS did either.

I remember Shane Bettenhausen on a 1up podcast saying something like "if you don't appreciate this game you're a peasant" which was dumb enough that I remember him saying it a decade later.

MGS4 is more cutscene than game. Even for Kojima its goes overboard with the unnecessary details and terrible plot dumps for characters you have no reason to care about.

In the pre-GamerGate, pre-PewDiePie world of online streamers he was just a prominent bad LP'er. The dude is basically real life Dwight Schrute. He's too square to do anything more offensive than jack off while the camera is still on.
