[Spoilers] So... what was the point?

[Amaterasu]

As the tittle says, what was the point? We saved Dr. Y, only for her to F off immediately, then we saved all the unicorns just to access Dr. Y's room, only to find out that, somehow, the adorable army controls most of the galaxy so now we must go to multiple planets to basically do the same thing that we did on earth, except "now" isn't really now as the ending is just sequel bait, so again, what was the point?

Look, I adimire how confident the devs are to already be sequel baitting as hard as they are, but they really didn't have to make the ending be THAT unsatisfying

After playing the game through GOG, I agree.

I was super excited for the game, and while it was fun to see it more fleshed out, it left me more confused than anything.

The Adorable Army destroyed all of humanity, and yet Y has more of a reaction to being called awful on the radio than acknowledging she caused the apocalypse. I really expected Y to be the final boss, and the twist that she was "Mother" all along guiding us pre-mutation through the audio tapes.

Overall there doesn't seem to be a point, outside of plugging Gori 2. And unless we get some serious combat overhauls ala DMC series evolution, I think Gori has reached its endpoint of fun with the gameplay foundation it offers.

Bruh this game ain't about the story. I liked the ending, and I want a sequel just to hack up more enemies.

If the story doesn't matter, then what was the point of putting effort into adding one?
Gori's storie isn't a simple excuse to kill things, they clearly actualy tried to do something more, the problem is that what they wrote ends up feeling very unsatisfying as the ending pretty much tells us that what we did basically didn't matter

Valid question! Just out of interest, did you save all the unicorns behind the key doors?

Don't know about "Iranian Walmart Greeter", but I have, saved every unicorn and went into Dr. Y's room
Or are there more key doors hidden outside the spaceship?

Look, the real problem that I have with the ending is the fact that Y leaves the ship as soon as you get back to it, like GORI's motivation in the story revolves around her, so she leaving just after we saved her feels terrible
In my opinion, a better way to handle the ending would be to have Y go to her room instead of teleporting to who knows where, then when we get acces to her room, have Y explain what's going on instead of F.R.A.N.K. and then have her STAY in there getting things ready for the next adventure

Yeah...I hadn't 100% the game yet after beating the main missions, was taking a break.

If so, that's a bizarre way to end it. Its a good game, but...man. Makes you wonder how far down Gori 2 is in the developer pipeline.

wow, I thought the true ending is a reference to borderlands 2 ending and nothing more.

I'd say that's a stretch, maybe it's been too long since I've played Borderlands 2 but I don't see that beeing a reference
Even if it is one, it could have been better executed

[JustJack6]

I thought the ending was fine, I just want more Gori.

Same. The game just felt too short.

While I obviously agree I'm okay with it being short given the price. And thankfully it seems to be doing well so hopefully we'll get a sequel.

[UnicornMan]

Maybe the point was all the carnage we made on the way. We beat the Adorable Army on Earth only to learn they may be a small part of a bigger picture. Hopefully the sequel will have more variety in environments and enemies.

"What's the point?" Did you not have fun with the game? Like what kept you playing, the story or the gameplay?

[RosStick]

I do agree with OP, t'was a strange decision and made ya wonder wait really?
The game is carried massively by the very fun gameplay, a sequel expanding on this would obviously be great, it's just if it can hold the fun value on a bigger scale than feeling flat after a while, maybe it's strength was its length. A twist of Y being the evil one or at least a small cliffhanger than o boy we got mega work to do would of sufficed in my opinion.
