YMMV / Bionic Commando (2009)

• Harsher in Hindsight: Of all things, the Worlds of Power novelization has an instance of this. Early in the book, Rad Spencer has trouble working the bionic arm, but pulls through. When he gets through the area he speaks to the arm, telling it he'll take care of it, and it'll take care of him. Fast forward to the 2009 sequel, where Spencer's arm is his wife...
• It Was His Sled: The one thing that is practically universally known about the 2009 Bionic Commando sequel is the Wife Arm, and will almost always be mentioned in any discussion about the game for how absurd it is.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: One of the common criticisms leveled at the 2009 game. Spencer is a massive dick, and the game generally has a bleak atmosphere, revolving around a conflict between a totalitarian government and a gang of murderous terrorists. The Reveal that Spencer's wife was killed and used to make his bionic arm is the icing on the cake.
