Lets discuss the endings of SAM´s Story - Good or Bad (Spoiler)

[def_con]

Ofcourse reading this spoils you!

Many people say that blowing up the submarine is the good ending. I don´t see it that way.

For me the "USA-Ending" is the good one.
Why should i kill Tom and everyon on board, stay back alone and heavily injured in the russian winter?
Tom isn´t really so bad an Klim is dead. The Port-village is destroyed. So there is nothing left but the submarine. And in this ending most of the people are alive and i am home.
So there is one more pirate in the postapocalypse. So what? What would he even nuke? Ruins of citys? come on. He even mentioned he is not willing to shoot.

So for me the US ending is far the best.

me to its the ending that makes most sence and he gets to go home as he wished to maybe see his dad again

For me the good ending is where the submarine gets destroyed. If it really still contained the missiles it was better this way. Also I don´t think that Sam´s dad is still alive.

I think the "killing everyone" ending is clearly the bad one, even if you didn't know it at the time of choosing. Though that is kinda the nature of karma in Metro, you're not supposed to be conscious enough of the system to game it, you're supposed to be blind and get what you deserve based on the choice you make naturally.

so i see it more realistic. does tom have even the codes to activate the missiles? and even if he have them, how long do you think you can run a nuclear submarine without repairs and propper spare parts even if it is russian technology? and who knows, maybe to get united by force is the best chance for the apocalyptic world.

as we have seen, most survivors are ruthless killers and manhunters, thinking only in their little spaces.

I favor the GO HOME ending. You know: San Francisco San Diego.

As Sam put it - "what difference would it make a few more wounds on a dead corpse" (if they fired the missiles). As they say "bounce the bricks". So what?

Tom kept his part of the bargain. Everyone stays alive.

The only part of this DLC that REALLY made me mad was when Sam met up with Klim. Instead of immediately putting a bullet in his head - Sam goes on with this sanctimonious crap about "where I come from guys like you hang". Like there will be a FORMAL court hearing. Gimmie a break! Well, Sam "got it" for his stupidity.

Other than that - one of the BEST of DLC's I've played (about 8 times). The "Two Colonels" I played once. It should have been called "The Other Colonel". Boring repetition: open the door: shoot monster. Go around the corner: shoot monster. Snore. Alternatively, Sam's Story really had some depth. Kudos to the story writer.

Destroying the sub is the good ending. There is still some country in NE Asia that can service large planes with oil reserves that Sam can go to. He might even meet up with the crew again.

The only thing that ruins the experience for me is that on Ranger Hardcore the Checkpoint are terribly placed, other then that i think it probably better then the main game, has more of a metro vibe then the main game.
