No, it was and is a genuine question. Perhaps I could have implemented it a bit better, but it's a genuine question. Few people have been as big a fan as I have of the Mass Effect series and the fact that I enjoyed Bastion's ending significantly more was something of a shock to me, and I wanted...

I agree wholeheartedly with you about Deus Ex; it was a fantastic game with just a few rather grating points. The sense of pace and the level of exposition in Bastion's story was pitched wonderfully. A word here, a line there, was all it took to inform you of ominous things ahead of you...

But surely the goal, or at least the main goal, of any good ending is to provide a satisfactory conclusion to what has come before?

The Deus Ex analogue is an excellent point. Those choices felt like they were kind of dumped on you with now warning. No real repercussion to them either, given the ability to save immediately before choosing them.

I'm not asking people to compare the games as a whole, just the endings. More specifically, which ending did they prefer. And there's no reason whatsoever to stick to comparing games from the same genre when you're talking about how you felt after playing them. Is the sense of achievement...

Alan Wake. A walking, talking example of what happens when developers start believing their own hype. Alan Wake the game was an incoherent mess with some good ideas buried under a tangle of Stephen King fan-fiction, horrible dialogue, a confusing plot that made no sense and a terrible...

EDIT: Ignore the poll, it won't allow me to ask the question I actually wanted to ask, and I can't remove it. SPOILER WARNINGS APPLY TO THIS THREAD. So, inspired by the newest Humble Indie Bundle (seriously, if you haven't bought it, you need to do so immediately) I finally finished...

While I couldn't agree more that 'The Signal' is a letdown, I have to disagree with your opinion of the full game. I thought that the story and writing started off well enough, but went rapidly downhill, ending up an incoherent mess towards the end. The resolution somehow managed to feel...

Best review of FFXII I've seen/read yet - very nice. 'Humidity and Chance of Rain' had me cracking up also :D
