Although I think regarding to 1. a radical change can be good thing if it's executed well. Like if it can explain all things you've noticed before and you think "oh yeah so this is why that happened" and everything still makes sense.<br /><br />2. is pretty much true, only one awesome game I've played and left cliffhanging is Half-Life 2: Episode Two, but that makes sense as <br />you are sure that you will find out all in next sequel:PNoockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11779858170136475894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-81663348765291447902011-03-26T19:50:02.340-05:002011-03-26T19:50:02.340-05:00Ending are always a huge let down... as soon as I ...Ending are always a huge let down... as soon as I get to the point where I know how a game will end I then loose all interest in it.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678343815209441212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-22525137925808036312011-03-26T13:59:24.117-05:002011-03-26T13:59:24.117-05:00have to play Dragon Age 2have to play Dragon Age 2fabio_2007https://www.blogger.com/profile/03578481636241393314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-29140384433146569742011-03-26T13:41:39.460-05:002011-03-26T13:41:39.460-05:00Regarding FFX, I actually liked the game, but like...Regarding FFX, I actually liked the game, but like with Dragon Age 2, I liked it in spite of its flaws, and the ending, in my opinion, was one of those flaws.

The story in most games is utter garbage, although there are a few gems (that need refining). Point 2 is a huge pet peeve on my part.

And even if it had those three htings you listed, so what? It was an amazing game, it was never obvious what was going to happen, and I've enjoyed it more than once. <br /><br />Sorry, I just picked on the FFX part because that's my fave game ever. :)Christophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708734323335590761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-70628017920594187712011-03-26T09:23:19.455-05:002011-03-26T09:23:19.455-05:00My all time favorite plot twist was in TV series D...My all time favorite plot twist was in TV series Dallas: whole season was just a dream of one of the characters.

They'd sold me on the goofy setting, but if you're going to have one character scripted to be the Big Damn Hero in the last couple of seconds, then force me to play him in single-player. That ending was so wonky, apparently they actually fixed it in a patch.Conspyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135525348326754627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-29275142900151128832011-03-25T23:18:54.071-05:002011-03-25T23:18:54.071-05:00Great games here.Great games here.Moobeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12078900774316594384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-48899941263584739922011-03-25T18:54:41.669-05:002011-03-25T18:54:41.669-05:00this is why i don't personally invest in games...this is why i don't personally invest in games. :DJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304596718908705463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-60287192116571572562011-03-25T17:49:31.455-05:002011-03-25T17:49:31.455-05:00Hello
