Qwertw: I think that the developers used most of their energy to make it look better than the first one, and they succeeded, they made it look quite like the comic, but the game felt emptier. I mean, in the first one you had even little subquests and minigames,.
Certainly it looked good... but still...
I recall the beginning of the second game. Things were going good, he was in a good spot, issues were tied up, yada yada... then...
WE NEED CONVINCE HIM TO BRING THE DARKNESS BACK! And if felt like it was forced back into the forefront when it shouldn't.
Plus reading some of the comics, he HATED it, so bringing it back should be a last resort, not because they felt they needed an edge.
It just didn't feel right.
