I only saw for the memes, but I legitimately thought Abby was supposed to be appealing to the woke audience, being a transwoman or something, but I later discovery she was just buffed.
Anyway, most complains I see in this thread can be applied to the last game. The history was pretty predictable, the only discerning factor was a protagonist that showed no remorse. All in all, the first game really didn't need a sequel, but everyone kept asking for it, and they got exactly what they wanted: a shoe on sequel that never made sense in the first place.
I think this reaction is a repeat of the first star wars movie in the disney trilogy. Lets see how it goes.
