Final Fantasy XII

[A Black Falcon]

I make it a point to avoid such forums. Reviews, for the most part, are usually spoiler-free, and most forum users so try to warn of spoilers in their posts. Hence why we even have a special code for such here at TC. And how is it tough to talk about a weak ending without revealign it? I've never played KotOR, yet you just told me it has a weak ending. The end. Nothing spoiled. If you want to DISCUSS the ending of a game, thats a conversation I know to avoid, as well.

KotOR 2, not KotOR 1. The first one's ending is fine, from what I know; I almost finished the game, but not quite, and know enough to know part of what happens at the end, but not all of it.

KotOR 2's problem is that they only had a year to make it and didn't quite finish it, so the last part of the game was in many ways unfinished... and yes, the point is that people discuss why it is weak on forums about the game, not just 'it was weak'.

That's different and you know it. The series consists of one very long story, and six smaller stories, and the six smaller are what you are watching, not the whole thing as one entity.

The point is that you already know what happens in the end of the third movie before you start it, but you watch anyway because it's interesting... reading the ending to a book doesn't tell you all the events that happen in between either.

I'm not disagreeing with you that TP did have a fairly lackluster ending, the topic we're on isn't that you read ahead about it, it's that you read ahead at all. Older games, yes, did put story on the backburner, but nowadays it's a crucial part of almost any game worth the $50.

I got far enough to get very dissapointed in the way the story was going, and didn't want to wait fifty hours of gameplay to know if it'd get any better. I don't think I did the wrong thing. (and it's not just the ending to the game that was weak, it was pretty much the whole story...)

DO NOT spoil MSG3 for yourself. It's got a fantastic story and the final revelation is one of my all-time favorite gaming moments.

I still don't get it.

Eh, it's not like I'll be playing that game at any point in the forseeable future...
