Lost Judgment

What an embarrassment, I wish I could play half the game only. Everything was a step up comparing to Judgement. The beginning was great, the idea of the main quest was uniquue, and the side quest stories and humors are well polished; a lot more diversity in content and combat experience. They also removed many unfair side objectives from the previous game such as spotting QR code or spending loads of money to crowd fund things. I was very happy at the first 60% of the game until the second half of the game kicks in: *** SPOILER BELOW: I'll censor names and some detail in case you still want to play the game, but otherwise, Plot spoiler below, but also important reasons why this game is an 'embarrassment'*** In the second half of the story, the protag (Yagami) insisted to turn in a mother 'for justice'. The mother happened to be some important figure. Said mother avenged her bullied son (killing the bully) who's now a vegetable for 20+ years (attempted suicide went wrong, due to excessive bullying). The big bad attempted to find connection/evidence of her committing a murder (finding dirt on her), in order to blackmail said mother for her influence to further their own agenda. And in the process, the big bad's hired thugs killed an innocent character, who was too smart for themselves and connected the dot to the big bad's plot. Yagami's sole argument in his persuasion attempt was that, because said mother didn't turn herself in for her murder, an innocent died. I honestly cannot agree with Yagami putting the blame on the mother, just because the mother's enemes were trying to find dirt to blackmail her. *** End of spoiler *** I feel strongly that this game's plot went from "justice to all" to basically behaving like the big bad we fought in the game; for the 'greater good' (for whatever positive message they're trying to spread; vigilante is not good, law must be protected, 'justice' must prevail), it's perfectly fine to commit necessary evil (sweep logic under the rug and hard sell the plot). What a farce. What a shame really. Everything else was so good, but they'd rather throw the story experience away than justifying retribution, even on matters that the law or legal system obviously could not address.
