Speaking of Ubisoft open world games, I'll be fucked if I go look to see if anyone mentioned this, but Far Cry 5 has to have the biggest shit ending I can think of (outside of my aformentioned Danganronpa V3)
I haven't seen it myself, but someone I know played FC6 and he claims that A - nuke was just one, B - S
They literally painted it as end of the world shit. Which is why New Dawn was offbrand Fallout.
There is if the brighter note is entirely contrived and makes no sense. Realistically everyone should lose in the Mass Effect games. The Reapers are shown to be overwhelmingly unstoppable and their cycle has been perfected over who knows how many millions or billions of years. A positive ending barely makes sense in the context of what we actually witness. Like the ending of The Thing where it is obvious that they have failed to destroy the alien and it will likely infect the entire world. Or Invasion of the Body Snatchers where the entire world is turned into pod people.
That only makes sense right up until the ending. If you play a game for the first 99% thinking that you cannot lose you still have a sense of agency. You still think that you can win and are in control. You only find out that you can lose or already are hopelessly lost at the final 1% of the game. That might change your perception on subsequent playthroughs but not while you are on your first play. And some people will still play through a game again knowing that they lose in the end because the game is great.
This is literally the plot of Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3. Ripley goes from running from aliens. To killing them. To being infected by them and having to kill herself. Then magically revived for one of the worst movies of all time in Alien 4 of course.
I remember back before GameFAQS was a shell of its former self, and people unironically defended that shit (complete with Neo/Matrix references). Not that they matter, but Gabriel Celeste and Ethereal Queen being divine beings; nah, fake. The Nedians who once held the universe hostage with their power, and subsequently annihilated 99% of their planet, and what remains is more of an asteroid with a shield around most of it, so what's left can live there... just a storyline. Humanity almost nuking themselves to extinction, using the call of space to unify, and determine that uplifting primitive species is a bad thing... ... ... Nah man, Earth doesn't even really exist.
Ubisoft has never given much of a shit about Far Cry continuity.
Yeah, there's no topping this - they even used "woke" unironically.
The one redeeming thing about this is when you remember that the only way Jax could've ended slavery was to go on a massive nigger killing rampage, since the majority of black slavery (since we all know they're not talking about anyone else), was done by african warlords edit: At which point, it becomes unintentionally hilarious.
That's hilarious. Dont they imply sam fisher dies too?
I am endless annoyed when nobody tries to get an exorcist.
