The Darkness (video game): Difference between revisions

* [[Sadistic Choice]]: Between {{spoiler|Frank and Eddie. Take too long deciding, and the game automatically kills Eddie (although you do get an achievement for refusing to take part in the Sadistic Choice, and Frank tells you that you did the right thing in refusing to play Victor's sick game)}}.

* [[Scary Impractical Armor]]: Most Brotherhood soldiers wear Darkness armor that covers their face and ''only'' their face. It makes them look scary and does protect against headshots, but does absolutely nothing to prevent them from being shot anywhere else in the body. About the only thing it's good for is giving you a lower kill score by making it harder to get headshots.

* [[Shout-Out]]:

** Jimmy the Grape states that Jackie reminds him of a guy named Vito who he knew back in the 50's who was really good at stealing cars, a pretty clear reference to ''[[Mafia II]]'', another game published by 2K games.

** The achievement in the Vendettas campaign for killing a guy named Luigi is called "[[Luigi's Mansion|Burned Down The Mansion]]."

* [[Show Within a Show]]: Just like the TVs in the first game. The Asylum in the sequel plays a shadow theater of a story by [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. It's got [[Nightmare Fuel]] aplenty.

* [[Suicidal Overconfidence]]: Played straight by melee enemies. Brotherhood cultists, using supernatural armor and axe-like weapons coupled with a religious fervor make sense. But the mafioso with the baseball bats?

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Frank and Eddie. And you have to {{spoiler|decide which of them dies}}.
