Game ends with a vague ending

literally mas effect

Why even make vague ending if you would explain it later?

At leas the ending to Half Life got leaked

>Game ends with a vague ending
>Not a single word from the devs
Why would the devs purposefully include a vague ending if they were just going to explain it later.

pepe has finally gone too far.

To allow people to come to their own conclusions. In most cases, if there are purposely ambiguous aspects of a story that the author never or refuses to explain, they are left open to interpretation for a reason. The author most likely has a "canon" idea of what happened, but wants to let people decide for themselves what it means.

Undertale's ending is pretty straight forward. The only thing that's vague is Gaster's backstory

god i fucking hate nu-pepe

You mean Mother 3? There's nothing vague about Earthbound's ending, there's a long-ass ending sequence which clearly shows how everything's fine again. There's even a brief post-game where you can walk around without encounters.

genocide is the true good ending

The entire concept of this time loop and Chara's role and motivations are mysterious as well. There are a few unanswered questions as well, like why the coffins are opened after the final fight in the pacifist route and why Frisk climbed the mountain to begin with.

look at the 'pacific' ending
>monster king kills multiple innocent human children to save his child
>all of his fanatic followers try to kill the next child for him

in genocide you're simply doing what you've done in all video games, killing the monsters and then shutting the game to never look at again.
imagine if simon from castlevenia's mission was to just dodge the enemies and then visit Dracula and calmly convince him to spare his life while he's throwing a hissy fit.
that's basically you in undertale

The hell?

>Game explains the explicit consequences of your decisions well into the future
>Next game ignores your choices by setting itself in the future and far away

The monsters are only trying to escape their prison. Really only Asgore deserves to be tried for his crimes. Most of the common enemies aren't even trying to fight you or there has been a misunderstanding. Undyne and Papyrus are just doing what their superior has told them is right, and Metaton is just putting on a show.

I really really REALLY like this webm mind if I save it?

>>monster king kills multiple innocent human children
Also, we don't know if they were all children. Just that they were humans. Seems odd that that many children would be climbing this mountain after all.

I fucking hate that "left to your interpretation" shit, at this point it's just an excuse for writers to be lazy and not make an actual ending

>Game's canon ending requires you to go into NG+ and clear an absolutely fucking ridiculous dungeon and there's no indication of this
>It has a sequel and if you don't get the actual ending starting it makes zero sense

I mean, if the developers explained the ending to everyone, there'd be nothing interesting about it. There's a reason David Lynch wont explain his films, it's because if he did they would fascinate no one. There'd be no room for conversation cause everyone would have the same take away from his content.

Having an ending that's up to interpretation means other people can derive different meaning from it. It can mean a lot of things to different people, and it makes the material and discussing it interesting.

You're a fucking pleb.

They mystery is more why can someone with high determination affect time like this. Why does Flowey still have knowledge of your actions from different saves when he no longer has power over saves? To what degree does Sans understand all this and to what degree can he himself affect timelines/saves.

Half Life 2: Episode 3, and by extension, Half Life 3

Holy shit. You're kidding. That's awful yet hilarious, must've been the work of a Yea Forumstard working for valve or something, that's pretty good.

when has this ever happened, the developers would have to be completely retarded for that to happen

But everyone DID turn out to be Xehanort

oh god hes making another one? Or is it just the movie and books you're talking about?

legal teams are a powerful force

It was the writer himself leaking it, Because he knew valve would never release it

It was quite publicly leaked from the lead writer, in fact, after he left valve to work somewhere else.

are you saying some moron youtuber has better lawyers than a publisher? and that their case would actually stand in court? if you have any examples then feel free to actually show them

The game doesn't outright say what happened, but it shows what happened. Because of this people like to say the ending and the themes of the game as a whole are vague or don't make sense.

Yep, but I don't think it's going to have any story parts. He has or had something up on steam about his projects. It's really sad what happened to FNAF. It should've stopped after 2. At the latest 4. I actually like up to 4, but even still, I feel like FNAF peaked at 2, both fanbase and otherwise.

That's simply unfair, don't you think?

This happened with the cancelled Legends 3. The writer said something about the Mother system hijacking Reaverbot control signals or some shit and it sounded boring as hell for a finale.

This is why everyone hates undertalefags. It’s a game at the end of the day and it’s not that deep. Flowey knows cause it’s funny and it’s basically his character that can break the 4th wall (REVOLUTIONARY)

Xenoblade Chronicles X
ENDING SPOILER:
lifehold was damaged all along yet somehow everyones "souls" were in their robot bodies instead of the lifehold, which also means anyone that died isnt coming back like they thought, and lao washing up on the beach after he obviously died

The real answer is every game, because autists can't just take the ending of any game as it is. They always ask retarded questions like: "What did main character eat for breakfast after the game ended? What happened to that NPC that I completed quest for?". That's why we have neverending sequels instead of something new.

Damn, that sounds awful. What franchise was this?
Oh, forreal? That's amazing. I get where he was coming from, though. I mean, putting in all that work just for something that's never going to be shown is shitty as hell.

>Simple, straightforward story.
>Some twats try to asspull "ackshually everyone was in purgatory the entire time" type bullshit anyways.

Why do people do this?

what about it?
long time since i played it, but isn't the story basically that you sometimes lose yourself and your perception of yourself hunting for the thing that you think is the salvation, and that shit can blow up in unexpected ways

There's a lot of references to the manhatten project throughout the game, iirc, so theres a lot of things exploring the idea of the game to be something about regret, trying to erase mistakes, or foresight o n past actions

it's got a ton of possibilities, one time it's a painful one sided romance story the other time it's a nuclear weapon.

but nothing about that is vague is it?
unless we consider "is the princess a literal bomb?" as something the text brings up (it doesn't).

no those are the same thing. the narrative is exploring the themes of losing control of oneself in the pursuit of a goal, and then feeling regret when you get to that goal because during your pursuit you didn't see things clearly. there's no "does it mean x or does it mean y" in this game, but the princess and the bomb fulfil the same function in the allegory.
