I'm sure they've got plenty more bizarre documentaries that would be more entertaining for you to argue over.

A-are you sure you want us to argue over an episode of Embarrassing Bodies because it could get really rude

Not at all! Only about 70% of it.

Mostly it was too hard and not in a way that felt particularly fair or rewarding. Hard is a weird way to say it, because the T-ENG system meant I rarely died but I also rarely beat a mission and felt like I was victorious in any way besides pure attrition.

Also all of the things that weren't gameplay were much worse. The characters in LP were so bad that they decided to do away with the entire idea of having characters in this game.

Yeah, I totally agree. There were a load of situations that were overwhelming if you had no idea what was coming--and even if you did, sometimes you just needed a little bit of luck! At least they didn't have too many instances of snipers taking you out in one shot though not that I'm still bitter

also I've mentioned it before but I do wish they'd at least tried to have paper-thin bad characters in LP2 because I really do miss it (as terrible as luka, basil, joe, etc were)
