I played the first one and really enjoyed it.
I've watched the commotion about the second from a distance and was put off enough from what I read to refrain from buying it.
$20 isn't horrible, but I don't want to waste my time with crap. The gameplay seems to be similar to the first, which is fine.
So, simple question: Is the story worth playing through? I'm a big boy, and don't need a story to cater to my sensibilities. I only need it to be good.
Is it a good story? Is it well-told with good pacing and interesting character arcs? Is it worth the 20+ hour investment?
I know the big stink is what happens to Joel. I can live with that, if the story that follows is good. But I do not want another 'subverts expectations for the sake of it' trip.
So what sez you?
