Today’s update for It Takes Two adds support for Steam Deck and game invites through the Steam friends list, and removes the need for the EA App launcher.
Thanks for the explanation, although I don’t find it a particularly acceptable one. The sequence wasn’t funny enough to justify the dramatic shift in tone in an otherwise family-friendly game, IMO. Also, making the protagonists unlikable in a game where you’re supposed to find them sympathetic is a very weird design decision.
My daughter and I were really mad about this. She wanted us to quit the game. I don’t think it’s really funny or useful to the story either. Still a really fun game.
Yeah, I absolutely get the anger. My wife in particular hates cruelty to animals, fictional, plush, or otherwise, so it’s a line she refuses to cross. That’s a totally fair outlook
My wife found out about The Elephant Scene and refused to ever play it as long as she lives
Yeah… that was a fun surprise for us.
Was it fun though? Or was it awful?
Man I really like the scene for it’s dark humor but it’s so hard to watch, lol.
Game overall is fantastic though! Definitely good with a significant other.
Yeah, that part was a distinct bum note in an otherwise enjoyable game. Why the developers thought it was good idea, I’ll never know.

They’re terrible parents for the majority of the game, this is just the culmination of all their selfishness and self deceit.
