Now i wonder, what do people really think is going to happen at the end of the game? really... it's a game, you finsihed it, congradulate yourself, and move on.... do people think they are going to get a phone call from the develpoers congratulatnig them, or that their TV set will bounce around and somethign special uiis going to happen to them.... People remeber, its just a game.... |
Part of it is that when you infinish some thing, you would like to feel that you have been rewarded completing the game. Not just some thing like "Guess What..... you've done all this and it all for nothing."
Eg.
UNREAL - You crash land on this planet. The only thing you want to do is get off this mud ball. You spend about 20 hours or so trying everything possible. You fight the big bad... You finally get into the space ship, only to run out of gas when you get into orbit. It's just a let down.
HALFLIFE - I think this game won GAMES SPOT'S AWARD for the most suckiest ending as you are given 2 options. JOIN US or DIE! Again another let down after spending HOURS just trying to get out of Black Mesa Complex (not to mension the worse day of your life). Another let down.
HALFLIFE : OPPOSING FORCES - Same as HALFLIFE, only that it the bad guys that have the choice of DO WE KILL YOU or DO WE KEEP YOU. Bigger let down. PLUS the KILLER WALL just sucked as an end boss.
Of course, there is games like the Silent Hill Series, but when the whole object of the game is that you are going to **** and you are repenting for your sins.... what can you expect....
The reason why I bi+ch about the ending of the game is that it is the last memory that i would have that game.
Now there is the game FREE SPACE 2 where you die at on the last mission as there is a sun that goes super nova, and you are caught in the blast. But at least there you death had a purpose as your were able to save the human race for getting killed. It not the Unreal or Halflife situation where your character is not much better off than where he started at.
