I'm really not sure what to think of XB2 yet. The reveal trailer made it look like rushed, generic trash, but maybe its one of those games that gets better the more we see of it.

I am pleased that its a sequel to the original game and not XCX though. I did enjoy XCX but the first game was by far superior.

I seriously don't see the rushed generic trash angle.  I get you and others don't like the character design but if you set that aside, there's plenty of fantastic promise to be seen in the world's scale and aesthetics and some really cool things to see and explore.  If this is what rushed generic trash looks like, then I wish more devs made some rushed generic trash :P

Seriosuly, people need to stop being reactionary and obsessing over one aspect of a trailer.  But whatever, I'm done fighting on this point since no one seems to care to have any patience or broader perspective on the issue.

It's not even just the stock anime characters, the world has none of the sense of wonder that previous games evoked with their vast alien landscapes, it just looks sterile and bland. Hopefully at E3 we'll see some more interesting environments.
