This is going to be incredible..
Part 2 won over 300 Game of the Year awards (190 of those being Player voted) for a reason, and it has nearly 4.5/5 star user rating on the PlayStation store. It's really not as hated as you may think. Sure it is divisive and there are people who dislike it, but it's more of a loud online minority than anything.
Personally, I think it's far more ambitious and better than the first, and will make for some insane television with a wayyy bigger scope than the first season.
