Really? So ending a game following an epic fight in which you defeat a major crime syndicate, complete the objective set at the end of the first game, find out (one of) the true purpose(s) behind the mirror, miss catching Lan Di by mere minutes (possibly even seconds), and get a true "it's only just beginning" line from Ren, that wouldn't get you amped as fuck for the next instalment?
I find that slightly strange tbh.
Disc 4 always felt like an unnecessarily long epilogue to the game, which is a major issue I have with a lot of films. The end of Disc 3 was a definitive third act for Chapters 3-4, and Disc 4's Chapter 6 establishes the next part of the story. Whilst yes, like the rest of you I enjoyed the Guilin section, it just throws the structure of the game out of whack almost to the point that it feels like they put it in by accident or just to fill in the extra disc.
Really took away from such an epic finale in Kowloon and the biggest misstep of the series.
