I don't hate it. Quite the opposite but I also see why people are upset over the story and terrible writing and dialogs. I just want the game to succeed as the next big franchise and for that a decent story can help if it keeps people interested in the universe and lore. Right now everyone loves the gameplay which is great but I don't see myself shooting waves upon waves of enemies and bullet sponge bosses for next 10 years. There needs to be a little bit more variety. Repetetiveness is fine but that doesn't mean it should avoid any variety. Sword of Costa was amazing , I hope they add more cool stuff like that. Maybe also some simple puzzle solving in coop. More personality and interesting NPCs etc..
