Eh!I like the mother theresa or baby eater in games. Would you like to know why? Well since this is the internet i'll just say it anyway cause you can't go through my moniter and bitch smack me with your man parts and the worst you could do is ban. Anyways back to why, Because nobodys likes more of the same right? Well that thing people call neutral were theres no right and no wrong means everythings the same just a bit extreme but still mostly the same. picking the lesser evil my ass I WANT TO KILL PLANETS! Thats what I liked about KOTOR you could be a goody two-shoey person, A planet killer, Or a pussy that can't get on the right side of the fence. |

Oh same. I'm not going to stick your genitals into an industrial vacuum cleaner, as I completely agree. I like the sheer contrast between the good and evil choices on every game I've played. I find it generally more fun to be the spawn of hitler, rather than someone slightly evil who doesn't pay for their T.V. license or something. Most people only disagree with us because of they're blind worship of Yahtzee. If Yahtzee says it, it must be true. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 882 Joined: 1 Jan 2008     | Regarding KOTOR2 ending, it was rushed due to Star Wars III:RotS release.Originally, they were supposed to show the fates of every single character but in the end, it was cut down to Kreia's future-telling speech. Hopefully this will shed some light on this matter:

Makes you want to punch Lucasarts in the mouth. I hate it when publishers let us down *looking at Lucasarts and Microsoft* They have some great games go through them, but they always manage to hash up something |
Paperboy  Posts: 18 Joined: 12 May 2008     | I'm surprised no-one has dropped this game into the discussion, but the ending(s) to "Alone in the Dark", both of which are affected by the last 5 minutes of game-play, are both massive bitch slaps and totally un-satisfying. You either kill the girl, or you don't... and either way Satan still gets resurrected through one of you. Only the old bald guy dies in one version, so you gotta love that. |
Anonymous Source Posts: 5 Joined: 14 Apr 2008   | would people stop defending bioshock, (looking @ you bowstring) it was a DIRE game. there were 5 bad guys, INCLUDING the bosses. this was an underground city, name ONE of the populus that you came across that wasn't a mutant and didn't instantly attack you. like in the Zero Punctuation review, the Plumbing and allegiance forming steam was just dumb. the game was linear to the point of it was aswell have been a 2D scroller, the mutations were laughable, fire, ice, and electric were haild as "innovative" ideas, and the ending, involved a three minute boss fight. yes, three minutes. during which, he NEVER MOVED. he was chained down. i mean WTF!!! (yes it looked pretty, but so does ur mom) |

It's funny how your only other post is also slagging off Bioshock. Did Bioshock beat you as a child? Did Bioshock murder your family and drop you off at an orphanage? It must have done something to you to deserve such unprovoked abuse. It also makes me laugh how you point out "like in the Zero Punctuation review..." and then complain about linearity shortly afterwards, since Yahtzee has also pointed out that linearity isn't a bad thing, and everyone who complains about it is an unmitigated douche. |

A) Bioshock is AMAZING. I still stand by it for great atmosphere, story, and gameplay. B) What Game did you play? The last boss most certainly did NOT stand still. While I can see why people get a case of grips over the ending, the game itself was fantastic. It just wasn't to your liking. There is a big difference between a great game like Bioshock and a crap game like Alone in the Dark. If it sells millions, wins game of the year awards, and people rave about it except the whiny few on "the internets", maybe you should stop and think "Hey... Maybe it's me!" and then move on. Im not digging the original Fallout, but I'm going to go on intar-webz rampage to tell everyone it sucks. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 586 Joined: 20 May 2008    | i didnt like the last boss for resident evil 4, i mean come on! i shot him with the rocket launcher then it makes you shoot him with a different (red colored) rocket launcher to kill him. And the ending to Lord Of The Rings: the third age was bad, it was a great game (good fighting and long story, i like long games) but at the end you have to fight the eye of sauron, at the top of its tower aswell, i went "WTF is this!?" |

I'm going to agree on MGS4 having a bad ending, but then, the writing in MGS4 was *really* formulaic. Every time we meet a character with a "Name Bar" intro, we get a plot dump. Often at inconvenient times or about things which are only roughly related to the topic at hand. Add in Snake's tendency to have half his dialogue be either "Hm..." or a repeat of the last two words he just heard, presented as a question (i.e. "Metal Gear?", "Other symptoms?", "Zero?", etc) and the fact that David Hayter does a *terrible* job trying to make Snake sound old, instead making him sound like a robot who gargles gravel. So then we have the ending. An hour long plot-dump, containing lots of repetition, with Snake saying maybe 30 words. Nothing moving. Nothing epic and powerful. Just.... an hour long death scene. Really. That bears repeating. AN HOUR LONG. That puts opera to shame. And the worst part is that they didn't have to do all that. They put out the MGS4 database, and could've had that be the "resolution" for the fans, and had the cinemas be more like... I don't know... cinemas. Maybe a little less like boardroom presentations. - J |

I'm going to assume that you are using GOW to refer to Gears of War and not God of War because the endings to God of War 1 and 2 have been nothing less than fantastic. I mean (spoiler) you kill Ares and take his place in the first one, then kill Athena and declare war on Olympus with an army of titans in the second. Kratos' achievements with crippling a religion have only been exceeded by science itself. Also, if you were able to understand that Raidens gf cheated on him then you were far more successful at interpreting the ending than I was. My mind was just like "I r gud at swordz!". |

They can't have the protagonist do anything important, or he will have to factor into the storyline of The Elder Scrolls somehow. :p |

I like resolution, but I don't like 40 minutes of pure cutscene at 4.30 in the morning! You can have resolution without regurgitating an entire back-story in someones face. And I have played MGS1, but I'd had enough of it by about half way; which is about double as much as what I could stomach with MGS2. It was at my brother's insistence that I played MGS3 and that I actually enjoyed and finished. Same with MGS4. And Bowstring, I tip my hat to you. |

What? The Halo trilogy was about the Human-Covenant War, the Halo rings, and the Flood. SPOILERS At the end of Halo 3 the Covenant leadership is dead and its fleet is in ruins, the Gravemind is either dead or traped on the broken Ark, and the Sangheili leave the humans to rebuild. All conflicts are resolved, the Master Chief just happens to be drifting in space on a derelict hulk. |

Just aint your game then. I loved the story, and have the Kojima fever. Maybe I don't take everything so negatively or seriously as you people. *Shrugs* |

Odd, I thought the ending was absolutely beautiful. If the characters, characters that everyone loved, didn't die, it'd be an average game plot for its time. It opens up everything for Lufia 1 as well. And I wouldn't say they died unneedingly; they were in the middle of an enemy stronghold, wasted their strength fighting gods, and the entire place was going to go down. Makes sense to me. |

It's pretty obvious that the ending was majorly rushed. At one point HK-47 talks about a droid factory that he'll locate for you, but it never happens. Then then you slaughter every boss in the game in what is basically 30 minutes. There in fact was a lot more story to be put in there and there's a restoration project out in the works for it. It sounds like an awesome project and it apparently is close to being done, so I can finally whip my KotOR2 out to replay it to see what could've been. |

I guess just annoying sometimes to see characters you play with for hours and get to watch their love-story built die at the end, then show their son crying. >> |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1521 Joined: 5 Jul 2008 |
I thought the worst part was that after the first Lufia, the second basically retreads we already knew. Basically if you're new to the stuff, you should play the sequel before the first game. Weird, eh? |

Are you fucking kidding me? I hold Bioshock as having one of the best twists and end-games ever. Although if you mean the cheesy cut scenes at the end, then eh, I see your point.
