Im in two minds weather i should buy this game, i got the first one but couldnt really get into it mainly cos i didnt like the open world, i ended up trading it in, but will i really get or understand the second game if i havent completed the first?

The overworld and the fees for entering ranked matches have been removed in the sequel, and the story seems to make fun of the fact there is little continuity between the two games.

Yup you will understand:In NMH2 Travis wanna explain what happened at the end of the first game but Silvia told him some people don't mind about it and just bought the sequel so no worries.

In the beginning of the game, Sylvia pretty much says Fuck Continuity, people just want to play the damn game.

Still enjoyed the game, even without continuity.

This has answered one of my key questions about the game because I am in a similar boat, thankyou.

+1

Me too

Playing both there is no real continuity problems. Only a few tidbits and easter eggs will be lost to u

same here, lol.
