Yeah, but I started doing that the day I beat Shenmue 2. To be honest I never really noticed a cliffhanger or much of one. Not any where near Shenmue caliber for sure.
I figured there was one there but my mind didn't really grab onto it. It will probably rear its ugly head next time I play DS2 though and I will notice it more.
And I didn't know a Saints Row 4 was coming out. Not played any of those but just thought that was a surprise.
