I'm still traumatized

24 comments

Yep, my partner was none too pleased at this part.
- Right? I understand what they were doing but DAMN.

Yeah honestly, this wasn't too far off the GTA V torture mission. Can't believe the creators saw no issue with this.

my ex partner really liked this game. we broke up before we finished it. can someone fill me in?
- Sure. Very very spoiler heavy below.
- Well... To put it lightly and relatively spoiler free: They made their daughter cry doing something quite awful.

"We have to save our marriage by devastating our daughter for no reason!"
- My wife and I concluded that the developer was a child of an unhappy divorce house
- Haven’t gotten that far, but I’ve heard of it.

I still don't know why people like this game. Sure the gameplay may be fun, but everything else about the game is screaming in your face "these are terrible people, you should hate them"
- My partner and I spent the whole game going "these two better not stay together at the end, they're horrible and that would be a terrible moral"
  
  That was our thoughts too, they didn't learn shit and that scene was viscerally uncomfortable.
  
  I never played it, but watched a playthrough. Tbh I didn't even finish that cause I got to the elephant scene and noped the fuck out. Like who actually thinks this is good? In any capacity?
  "oH tHe CoNtRoLs ArE gOoD fOr NoNgAmErS!" Tbh that's not enough for me to think a game is GOTY. It needs to have a story that's at least as well done as the gameplay. It's why the Arkham games are S tier imo.
  
  I played it with a friend and we had the exact same thoughts.
- The whole game felt fucked up. Like partaking in a business casual traumatization of their daughter by way of varied mini games.
- Yeah and it was never addressed or really commented on?? The script for the game seems really poorly thought out.
  
  Literally NO ONE talks about how shit the writing for the game is. No one.

my headcanon is that that fucking book is a demon trying to make things even worse for the family

What game is this?
- It Takes Two!
  
  Eww it requires an EA account

Such amazing gameplay, my friend and I really enjoyed it but holy crap is it fucked up. The end of their previous game (A Way Out) was also very fucked up. Even with the emotional trauma, I'm looking forward to Split Fiction.

Me and the wife were just talking about this last week. wild part of the game
