The Darkness (video game)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Acceptable Targets: In the game, you are sent after drug dealers selling to kids (because they are encroaching on the Family's territory).
    • More generally, all of the people Jackie has to kill in the game are either mobsters, corrupt cops, mob affiliates, or zombies.
  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: Mike Patton as the voice of the Darkness.
    • The fandom rejoyced again when Mike Patton returned for the sequel years later.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: When Jackie finally takes full control over the Darkness in the fourth chapter. Shame it doesn't last...
  • Moral Event Horizon: When the Darkness forces Jackie to watch, taunting him all the while, as his girlfriend is murdered.

"Awww, what did they do, Jackie? What did they do to Jenny?"

    • In 2, the Brotherhood crosses this all the time. The ambush at the restaurant that killed innocent people? Them. Then they assault Jackie's house for the sole purpose of killing his Cool Old Lady aunt. Then they attack the aunt's funeral just to lure Jackie into a trap.
  • Player Punch: I see you're near the end of the first chapter. Better prepare some raw steak for your eye, and possibly a stretcher.
  • Unfortunate Implications: The entire NYPD are portrayed as sadistic bad guys. At least, the ones we see who work for Schrote. If there are honest cops in the setting, we certainly don't interact with any.
