So we knw what happend at the end of the first game and the second opens with Cole fighting against the Beast, the enemy we all should know about.
[Spoiler Alert]
Since Kessler turned out to be the alternate future of Cole, we also know that he's going to be a very, very powerful individual. But that also brings up the question, who is the Beast? I actually know the answer even though I made it clear that I did not want to know the answer. However, I had a hunch of this person's identity and turns out I was right, even though I wanted to play the game myself and keep myself getting. Things don't always go your way, my PS3 getting the YLOD proved that permenantly.
Actually...nothing I said other than Kessler was a spoiler. Ah well, back to job hunting.
