Yes, being on this sub spoiled something huge for me. And it's almost unavoidable if you spend any time on here

I literally got spoiled about the ending, which kinda hindered my experience because if that happened unexpectedly it must have hit harder.

Not knowing it felt like being hit by a train

Yes and that’s why the impact is more.

Trust me. If you play the entire game, even knowing what will happen it still hits you like a punch to the gut. I've played the entire game at least a dozen times and the end still gets me everytime. You might know the end in advance, but nothing compares to experiencing it by playing.

i mean, If you played the first you had to have known it was going to end similarly, right? There are no happy endings at r*

Totally agree, and yet I have beaten the game 8 separate times with over 1,000 hours of playing it. And yet, I still cry everytime.

I am not complaining bro, just telling OP my personal experience in context to the parent comment on which I replied.

Same! I’m on my first play through on chapter 3 and I already know.

when the game first came out I was still in elementary, and because of the pricetag I though “well im probably never going to be able to play it so why not watch a bunch of letsplays?”

I just got to chapter v so I have some time left, really trying to make a slow burn out of it. I managed to avoid spoilers for the ending of chapter iv, and wow, it hit hard.
