That ending was... (SPOILERS)

[Johnny Bandini]

Trouble in Terrorist Town in a nutshell. A bunch of guys find you when you're alone, you say "oh ♥♥♥♥, i'm innocent, i'm innocent!", they open fire, then after you die, some other guy comes along and kills them and they're somehow surprised.

But really, i don't get the ending.

[BlingBlingBoy]

At the end you became that ghost thing. And they killed him so he couldnt share what had happened there

[Mystix]

Though I was rooting for Miles to somehow, some way, make it out alive, especially after going through the horrific crap and torture he endured (and it would be cool if we had a chance at having such an alternate ending), it is a Horror themed game afterall, and in such stories we don't alway get the "happy ending" or things may not turn out like we hope. For what it was, I think the ending still fit the story of the game well.. but yeah, I was a bit sad to see Miles end like that ;_;

I felt really connected with Miles after he breathed so loudly for the 15 hours it took me to complete this game. I was disappointed with the ending. The poor guy was barely able to walk and they still blew him away!

I must have missed something. What reason do we have to think this?

The good doctor said in the end "Gott im Himmel (in english it's God in Heaven) You have become the host", you hear screams from soldiers and a ghostly sound which indicates that you became the new walrider and started killing those people.

What I was really dying for at the end of the game (no pun intended) was a little more explanation of the nanotechnology they were creating (or exploiting?). How exactly did the ability for the human body to create nanomolecules translate to Billy Hope projecting some ethereal-death-being with personal space issues?

[CG 5NATCH]

I actually thought the ending was disapointing.
The game is truly great and just sheer brillant to play, but the ending felt a little too rushed for me. After everything he'd been thru. I was expected to see at least something good happen.

TBH I was expecting Miles to leave the place, but possessed or brainwashed.

especially after Martin told me to record his "death and resurrection".

[Wickedjelly]

As others have said, you become the host and kill them. It isn't some other guy that comes along. Still, I thought the ending was incredibly 'bleh' compared to the rest of the game. I was kind of surprised how underused the naked crazy duo was used too. Just my opinion but I think they could have incorporated those two more.

No, just no. Any also, the ending was pretty damn simple to understand

[Arrior]

Before the end I was thinking, the insane would pull me into the machine. The real end wasn't so good, because why was the soldiers so fast there and nobody killed them before and wernicke told he want able to die and then he was there with the soldiers. Makes not many sense

This was my opinion as well. I hope the developers take note. I thought there was going to be another 30 minutes to the game, where you travel back upstairs and walk out, but nope. Apparently the facility had an unlimited number of disposable troops.

[Biggles]

I felt the story was hurt by the developers feeling the need to explain the horror in real-world terms. When you understand what's chasing you, it stops being as frightening.

Running from an unspeakable horror carries a bit more weight than "OH NOES SPOOKY CLOUD OF NANOBOTS". I actually started laughing at points after that plot twist got revealed, odd person that I am.

Remember who was keeping them out in the first place? Chris Walker and the Walrider. They were busy with current affairs. Chris Walker dying in a seemingly undeserved way to me, and the Walrider attacking and trying to possess you. So they pretty much had a clear path in.

I don't think that the Walrider is a ghost, it's a cloud of nano-bots from what I picked up. They use Billy as a sort of hive to generate more of them with. That's why he looks so old for a 23 year old or whatever. They then take over your body right before Billy dies so that they have a new hive. When the soldiers kill you, they search for a new able-bodied person to use as a hive. That's just what I picked up though. More sci-fi than supernatural.

[KlaatuNaatu]

And I know that Chris Walker was trying to kill you the whole game and killing everyone, it was just a really sad thing to see happen. I guess I got too attached to him.

[Throne]

the nanomachines/nanobots (walrider) went inside of you.. when you died, they came out and killed everyone
