     I've gotta say it seems like the "story" of this game was an afterthought or a joke.  It literally reminded me of something hooky like a saturday morning cartoon.  It was so over-dramatic with terrible voice acting and premise.

    The framerate and overall quality of the story's cutscenes was laughable as well.

    I'm not saying that HAWX1 was epic or memorable storytelling, in fact I've always wondered why this is even a franchise.

    It's not all the story I have issues with, this series doesn't "feel" good for a jet fighter game.  The planes don't seem to have any weight or substance behind them.  I never felt like I was ever in any "danger" of getting shot down.  It's pretty sad when an "arcadey" jet fighter game such as the Air Combat/Ace Combat series feels like a serious flight simulation in comparison.

    Sorry fans of this franchise, it's just not for me at all.

    At least I've played the first and tried the demo of the 2nd one before forming an opinion, right?

    Heck I WANTED to like this franchise.

    What's the story? 
     
    For the record, I don't like HAWX either, I just want a laugh.

    I played the demo and was extremely underwhelmed.  I actually enjoyed the first game so I don't know if they changed something or maybe I was just in a shitty mood.
