Does anyone else think the Mirrors Edge games fucking suck?

The first one is defo overrated when the 2nd plays pretty much the same, and at some points smoother. I will concede that the first did many things better than the second though, like not having unlockable skills and having linear handcrafted levels as opposed to open world.
In both games, the OSTs are amazing, and the environments still look nice to look at. The first had a more realistic vibe and the second goes full futuristic buildings and shit.

This series had so much fucking potential.
The first game had a large amount of charm despite, or maybe because of its jank. The visual style was unique for the time, and the gameplay system unique. The main problem was the length, and some late game parts being complete bullshit (looking at you, staircase of enemies. Fuck that level)
I haven’t played Catalyst even though I was one of the people who was hoping beyond hope for a sequel after the original didn’t do too well. It looked interesting, but nothing that was shown really clicked for me. That and the game was barely marketed, so that was a huge issue in making sure that it was forgotten nearly as quickly as it was released. From what I’ve heard, it was a mild improvement but nothing really special, which in the end damns it. Forgive me as I pull stuff out of my ass, but from what I can tell both games are somewhat equal in quality, with the first one having lower low points than catalyst but also having more memorable moments. Catalyst, while probably structurally better, wasn’t this grand improvement that broke the stone suffocating a beautiful diamond, rather it ignored that and went for a different rock containing silver. Sure, the silver was easier to get out then the diamond, but it isn’t nearly as beautiful. And that rock encased diamond is still there, waiting eternally on a shelf for its chance to be free, never allowed fully shine as the company that found it mines for copper to make into wires to wrap around their own cocks and electrocute themselves.

Yea, the first game was disappointing when it was released though I feel that the newer game is even worse (shouldn't have been open world, new voice actress, basic moves locked )

How the fuck do you get filtered in Mirror's Edge?

The first one was quite a fascinating little experiement at it's time: deeply flawed, but that is what you get for testing unproven grounds. Nowdays it's honestly pretty clunky, not to mention really short, but as tech demo and proof of concept it was honestly kinda amazing. It was a game that took a shitton of risks, and even managed to do nail a really interesting world in the process.
The second one took all the wrong lessons. The idea of going open-world was good, but literally EVERY STEP OF THE EXECUTION WAS WRONG. It was obvious that the people working on ME2 just had no clue how to make it work. In the process, they ruined just about everything that people loved about the first game, and did not even fix the faults that people were once willing to overlook.
It's a shame because as a concept, and as a franchise - with it's style, tone, and world, it had more potential than most major IP's out there. Now it's dead.
