[Wallpaper of The Suffering: Ties that Bind]
The Suffering: Ties that Bind is a video game developed by Surreal Software and published by Midway Games, released in 2005 for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 game consoles as well as the PC. It is the sequel to The Suffering, and storywise picks up immediately after the ending of that game.
Players who have a game save of the different endings of the Suffering can decide with which morality to start with, starting with a different morality changes the dialogue and intro of the game.
he Suffering: Ties that Bind features a number of gameplay changes from the original The Suffering. The player can no longer carry around xombium bottles to refill their health whenever they need to, and instead must rely on stationary pickups located throughout the level. The player is also now limited to only carrying two weapons at a time.
Torque escapes Carnate Island, the site of his imprisonment, and attempts to return to his home city of Baltimore, only to be captured by a mysterious paramilitary organization known as the Foundation. The apparent leader of the Foundation is a woman named Jordan, who wants to study Torque and his connection to the malefactors. Torque manages to escape from his captors and is prompted by the ghost of his dead wife Carmen to return to his apartment and investigate the death of his family, where he learns that a powerful crime lord by the name of Blackmore (for whom Torque worked) is ultimately responsible for their deaths. Much to his shock, however, it seems that the horrible Malefactors that had brought Carnate to ruin followed him to the mainland to continue their spree of murder and chaos, feeding upon the dark and ancient history of the city to grow strong. Torque makes his way through the city under the questionable guidance of Dr. Killjoy, who wants to help Torque understand his mental state and his past.
At the very end of the game it is discovered that Blackmore is actually one of Torque's alternate personalities, which surfaced when he was a child living in an orphanage. There are three possible endings depending on the morality of the player at the end of the game: Torque is completely overcome by Blackmore, who takes total control of Torque's personality (Evil); Torque and Blackmore are unable to overpower each other and remain in their current state of opposition (Neutral); Torque eliminates Blackmore's presence from his mind (Good).
Almost viewing his 'better half' as a best friend more than anything, Blackmore acts willing to do almost anything to bring Torque over to his side; force him to understand and embrace the reasoning that so violently drives the crime lord.
The player's morality also affects certain sequences during gameplay and a level near the end of the game, where Dr. Killjoy, the slavehunter Copperfield, and the vile Creeper look back on Torque's actions. The player's morality also affects whether the player will fight Copperfield or The Creeper.
* In the underground sewer system, Torque's son can be seen floating in the water. He says "We all float down here, daddy." This is a reference to Stephen King's It.
* When picking up a phone in the game the player can hear Blackmore saying "I know the only thing I've ever loved was hate." This is a reference to "The Nameless," a song performed by the band Slipknot.
* The warden that comes to your aide says "That was a vulgar display of power" in reference to a line from The Exorcist, And a title reference from metal band Pantera.
* Upon picking up a phone in a line of three a female voice says "Your mother, your father, your brother and the thing under the covers. Your lover, the others, the leeches, and the serpents and the suckers" this is a referance to The Dillinger Escape Plan's "Pig Latin".
* In the streets of Baltimore after escape the holding area with Jordan, you may notice a random pile of garbage. The garbage is actually copies of The Suffering and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, which is a joke that both of these products had low sales.
* At variou points in the game, in shops & Miles' bar, there are numerous neon signs advertising an alchoholic beverage called "Dan Jackals", an obvious pun on Jack Daniels.
