>the last 15 minutes of a game invalidate the entire thing

Anonymous (User Deleted) · November 04, 2015, 02:16:55 PM

Even if that game is otherwise GOTY material in terms of everything else.

What's the rationale behind this (silly) thinking?

Luciana · November 04, 2015, 02:24:11 PM

There was nothing to invalidate in MGS V considering there was literally no buildup to fucking anything.

At least Mass Effect 3 in my opinion built up to a grand finale and threw loss at you left and right. I enjoyed the adventure of ME3 FAR more than MGS V due to the set pieces, characters (YES, ME had characters, MGS V didn't), narrative, and other things.

I understand the game gets flack for the ending, as it rightfully should, but as a whole package in the story department, I'd pick ME3 any day of the week.

And shocker, the ending didn't really destroy my opinion of it either, even if it was weak. I was happy with the extended endings they gave for closure at least.

Edit: You forgot this game

>.> Alright, I'll give you MGSV. I'm enjoying the game but there's nearly no story to speak of, or at least what's there is few and far between. And from what I hear, the ending means that it's not even the story that was advertised. I'll have to look back upon it after I've played/finished the other MGS games, but I could see why it would be frustrating.

I find the ME3 example funny because folks will disavow any enjoyment they ever had with that game. I actually liked the multiplayer quite a bit, even if I felt it was a bit repetitive after a while. You said everything else I'd have to say about it.

Also, I haven't played TWD yet. I've heard mostly good things about it otherwise and got it for GWG that time. I don't know how much I want to play it now ._.

Luciana · November 04, 2015, 02:54:11 PM

People who try and justify lack of story in MGS V, regardless of a said twist, need to be shot in the head for defending such a bad practice.

And TWD is good, it's just your decisions really don't matter in the end.

Kiwicake · November 04, 2015, 02:59:34 PM

I enjoyed ME3 a lot, the ending doesn't really remove the enjoyment I got out of the rest of the game

Plus the multiplayer was one of the funnest things ever, I played that SO much

Whoever came up with this should be beaten with a stick everyday for the rest of their lives.

Fucking bullshit trying to tug at my heartstrings with a kid that get's about a minute's worth of dialogue.

YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME HOW TO FEEL, BIOWARE!

I'd recommend avoiding this thread then, Challenger.

Why?

It's just ME1's gameplay, combat wise I mean, is very wonky. They iron it out in 2 and 3.

literally everything in the game resolves itself without even the slightest need for Samus' pointless intervention, in fact if Samus never showed up, probably none of the marines would have even died.

I really liked the ending of The Phantom Pain. All is going mental in the second part, which is just what I hoped it would build up to.

True Turquoise · November 04, 2015, 04:59:16 PM

MG really had nothing from start to finish

Not a game, but I remember watching this really good series as a kid, and at the end of the last episode it did that "but it was all a dream" ending. Literally why.

nosejob · November 04, 2015, 08:16:41 PM

Speaking of shit TV show endings: St. Elsewhere

Show was about a hospital and all these people doing shit and there was drama, whatever.

SYKEEEEEEE XDDD it was literally the imagination of a kid with autism

It was the worst possible ending for that particular series imo.
