[souled out]

or so i thought! STUPID PRE ORDER BOXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (they really need to make sure there is a big banner saying pre order crossing the game logo so i wont think its out already)

ok so the video for stranger looks freaking great (graphics wise). But it got me thinking

i know stranger has a more western feel to it and thats fine, and ill agree it is bright beatiful and superbly done. But this concerned me a little about the quintology. Each OW game seems to be sucessively getting brighter and happier. I think it is most important to maintain the dark feel of the quintology. Dont get me wrong i want happy fun games too, but i think the quintology should be dark sad and beautiful (go see the film GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES and you will understand; saddest film ever, but truly beautiful)

Abe was the humor that made the darkness seem less bleak, but he still had to go through grave and heinous obstacles along the way. I know the quintology is going to be five games long, but i think we need one of the FIVE heros to be a tragic one. (and if you are going to play the betrayal card to make things tragic have it be a self motivated betrayal and not coerced, or for the greater good that works out in the end. It needs to be a wrong that cant be fixed)

(and im sure if at least one is not a girl you will be sued, lol)

the enviroments are awesome but maybe you could have it pouring down rain sometimes for no good reason, or have dark thunderheads (no lightning) instead of just brightness. I just think the gloom works for the quintology and that the dark story thrives on it. (ask tim burton)

Keep up the great work; Keep the quintology somber.
