Bad End
The end of a video game should never leave you in bed asking “well, why the fuck would they do that?” for an hour. Contemplating subtle nuances in storytelling and interpreting meanings are good things. When an overt god-robot smacks you in the face with “the point” and the point is stupid… somebody dropped the ball.
The two “major reveals” were predictable and I’m not mad about that. Everything else was just bad.
It’s like when you found out Neo was an anti-virus program. You wanted to like the Matrix but when it boiled down to God-Robot forgot to run an AVG scan on his Matrix PC, you’re left feeling empty and unfulfilled.
I am infinitely disappointed.
In a separate post I will talk about the one thing I really did enjoy about the ending. This other thing must be digested first though.
