    my ex-girlfriend loved the first game, she even got a massive tattoo of the cat on her back. The second game? it was horrible. It took everything that was great about the first game and just said “fuck it” and toss it out the window. graphically it was nice but it just lacked that insanity of the first game, the story was weak and just didn’t draw you in like the first did.

    And make no mistake McGee, on his own, is a one trick pony. He got fired from Id for bad level designs (which, depending on who you ask is controversial) he knocked it out of the park with Alice, but fumbled with Madness Returns and…ugh…Bad Day LA which NO ONE remembers.

    So I mean kudos to fans that like this game but only if McGee stays far away from a potential third game in the series I wouldn’t hold out much hope.

    Fuck EA.

    Yet another example of a situation where if a company refuses to maintain an IP they should have to give it up.

      They value it, but won’t do anything with it. It’s value comes mostly from American McGee, and if he throws the towel then it’s worth way less.

      Sounds like EA made a bad business move after all.
