The reason why people hate the second disc is because the pacing is completely ^%& up. There is very little gameplay as the story pretty much walks you through the game rather than allowing you to experience it yourself. Gameplay wise the second disc is an enormous change of pace and you're often bombarded with half our long cutscenes after every 20 or so minutes of gameplay. Plot wise though, the second disc is far superior to the first one. Things start to make sense, become less cliche and overall much more interesting and satisfying. It took me 30 hours finishing the first disc and I felt cheated on with the story after reading raving reviews but the secon disc made it all worth it so it's damn worth playing it through til the end.
