dont get me wrong, not all endings have to end with rainbows and happyness, but happy or sad they need to provide some kind of closure and I think that while I do agree with some points you made about Broken steel the reason I belive its so important is because it provided closure to a story that reall really needed it....that said I was probably more emotionally invested in the whole thing that your average gamer
Can I interject by agreeing with you, 101? Some what..I think the Broken Steel DLC was needed. OK, so how they implemented it swings you towards good choices, meaning that you can only ever be an earth-bound angel or a psychopathic git that's looking to repay for the things he's/she's done. But that's a fault of the game the DLC had to work with. Not the best way for them to extend the story but it fitted my 'Whiter-than-white' angel of justice, truth and kicking evil's arse for the good of mankind character. I was perfectly happy to have my character alive again. Even better, I could now wrap things up. The purifier story had finished and now I could level up to 30 while exploring everywhere and doing everything the game had to offer without the constant obligation of the final assault on Project Purity to bother me.
Its like beating the Elite Four and then rounding up all the Pokemon your heart desires in the time after. Broken Steel gives you that freedom from the main plot to do as you please. Its a shame it wasn't made part of the game originally.
Oh! And doesn't the fact that Fawks refuses to do anything but stand there, blathering about destiny stand alone as part of this thread? The logical way out of this is denied to you because we say so...Great...so much for all that self-preservation I've been wasting my time for....until the DLC...
How about an original one?
The massive reveal near the end of Jak III, revealing that the Ostels (the orange mongooses, to everyone else) are the...errr...I don't think I should say...Its rather important and will definitely colour peoples enjoyment of the earlier games if they're going through them now. I laughed for a good while at how Naughty Dog subverted several years worth of games and organised religion with it but its a laugh for those that brought and played through the third game. Or looked at Wikipedia.
Lightning in Final Fantasy XIII. Moving on.
Room 18 (or at least, the last room), in Portal: Prelude. Making me do the trick was hard enough, why not reward me for doing the trick by letting me succeed rather than falling to me death? I don't care if its free or not, the mod's level design is still broken.
Crazy Frog Racer. Moving on.
Rayman: Raving Rabbids instead of Rayman 4, then ditching Rayman altogether to make Rabbid sequels. Ubisoft, ripping out my heart, dressing it up in a Goth outfit for a bit before tossing it out the window, never to be seen again would have been better if I got to ride the bird and the giant spider with all that Wii combat you promised us...
Sorry, I seem to write essays on here rather than normal posts...
