Line 359:
* Against the ongoing tide of [[Mass Effect|Mature]] [[Dragon Age Origins|Dark]] [[Western Role Playing Game|Role Playing Games]], ''[[Divinity 2]]'' serves as being much notably lighter in tone and setting than most current [[Western RPG]]s out at the moment.
* The endings in the ''[[Twisted Metal]]'' games made by 989 Studios (''Twisted Metal III'' and ''Twisted Metal 4'') tend to be much less darker and sometimes downright comedic when compared to their predecessors.
* ''[[Fallout 2]]'', is Lighter and Softer compare to the rest of the Fallout games its full of humor and pop culture jokes and the main villains are [[Cartoonish Supervillainy|cartoonlycartoonishly evil]] rather than the anti-villains the last game had.
** Oddly, the game is also horrifically dark compared to the old game. Genocide, prostitution, organized crime, corruption, political subversion, and slavery were far more prominent. In addition, the first time you see the {{spoiler|Enclave}}, they murder a family with a minigun over a perceived slight. The {{spoiler|Super Mutants}} in the first game never are shown to visibly do anything similar. Then again ''Fallout'' has always been a [[Black Comedy]], so its naturally the funniest of the games as well as one of the darkest.
* ''[[Drakengard 2]]'' might be considered pretty dark compared to other JRPGs, but it is ''incredibly'' lighter than its predecessor. The main character isn't a complete kill-happy sociopath, has a chance to have a love interest that ''doesn't'' end horribly, and the game actually includes [[Multiple Endings|one ending]] where the world and the main characters are ''not'' doomed to suffer and/or die in various terrible ways.
