I can agree with this. I’m playing on hard for my first playthrough and I’m exploring as much as I can, so I’m not done with the game yet but each turning point that Ive seen in this game so far has emotionally hit me in a way that no other game and even any movie has besides the original but it’s hitting me in a completely different way. I think that’s why people are bombing it if they have even played the game. It’s such a darker plot/story and what I’ve experienced so far is really making me believe this is how our world would be in real life if an outbreak like this were to ever happen. Anything could happen in a split second with very minimal time to absorb what the hell just happened.
For example in the movie Red Dawn starring Josh Peck (SPOILERS) when the older brother suddenly gets shot in the head walking towards his brother after a successful mission and they were back at their camp. It was so unexpected and emotionally disturbing to see happen so suddenly to a character then you like.
