They're just not pretending to be mature. Which ironically makes them more mature. TLOU2 plays sad music and has edgy bloody moments but in terms of depth or thought or theme or character isn't any more nuanced or thought out. If anything the characters in MK are less bland even if they are as shallow. I think this is the heart of the differene between people who love TLOU2 and the people who are indifferent to it. If you think deep emotional storytelling is generic tropes and sad music as sad things happen without rhyme/reason or pacing. Then you'll love it. If you wanted more or have played other games/seen other movies before, then it's just generic passionless blandness. UP would not be improved or a deeper movie by a scene where Muntz cuts Doug up with a hacksaw and then Carl slits his throat as sad music plays and rains falls. Russell ends up losing an eye when the bird pokes it out because it's a feral bird and Russell was a fool to trust it. It would be the opposite. It would be stupider and cliched. Romulox28 posted... did you skip all the cutscenes/dialogue or something lol No I heard it all. It was very bland and dull. Wouldn't matter if you did due to the forced walking sections that are unskippable. Game would have been better with a lot of less of it and no forced walking sections, it was so padded. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:950232041] in How can pe...
