[SPOILER] Endings

[owned0mp5]

So anyone got a different ending? There seems to be two for now. Killing Chaffet makes you earn the money but you still lose your job. You are also kicked from club.

Apparently it is the same when you kill Rogers, except yo get 1$ or something ( read it somewhere )

If anyone got something different could they write down their major choices or something

500k is what his ex-wife asked him

[boomermojo]

引用自 DG Dobrev：

The 500k means nothing. The whole idea is to make you feel in a some way. Sadly, for me it meant that I felt that I should have been the worst cop possible cause if I get screwed over I might as well gain something out of it...

It ment somthing to Boyd. He holds a memory where the 500k is significant to his wife, unfortunatly for Boyd his wife can't recall that memory and couldn't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ if Boyd has half a mill.

I had half a mill by around day 100 so maybe you need to get it asap to actually get the cutscene?

Ok seems I got it all correct except the amphibious position and the single sniper on the university roofs.

I kinda get my mistake on the amphibious position as I put both on the boat dock but I dont have any clue on why the single sniper should be placed on the university roofs instead of the church ones. Is there something to do about the church has a divine light or something?

Sorry for troubling ya

That is correct. He wants to somehow keep stuff together... and he can't. That's just it. The 500k towards the end of the game do not matter at all. Maybe to the player it does. It meant something to me as I was seeing how the story goes.

He doesn't get his wife, that means he gets the 500k to himself. If you don't get the 500k he is left penniless with no retirement, and that's even worse. It may not show it, but Boyd would end up on the streets without that money.

As if there are no other cities in the world with police departments he can go work in :) And he has his 3 sons. He won't be completely broke, and he will always have help.

I do not believe this is the case, it is more about being in power, doing the right thing, and then losing it all. You strive to be good and everyone spits at you and screws you over.

really no one got chaffee down? HOW??

[DG Dobrev]

I did. After I got Rogers down I reloaded from mid-december and got Chaffee down. It isn't any better, I can tell you that much. As for how, check the other topics.

I wrote my review of the game that includes it (negative, sadly), and I got hammered by people saying that this is real life and this is how being a good cop always turns out.

I don't mind, but this is a work of fiction... We are allowed a decent ending, are we not? To be blunt, I felt the same way about Firewatch. It was a game with great story and great character interactions just to leave you hanging at the end. You feel like you played for nothing.

So I guess people will tell you the same :) This is the whole intricacy with city halls, mafia and cops. And you need to live through it.

I 100% agree with you, except the part about Firewatch. Firewatch was more or less an "experience" game where you just follow the instructions and enjoy the ride. It was also much shorter and more easily replayable, so you can try other options.

This is the police is a game where 90% of the gameplay is based on your performance, whether that is managing your team, solving investigations, wiping out gangs, making choices about who to support or not support. It also takes like 20 hours to complete. The game does not reward you for playing well, and there is no way to "outplay" the system. Your choices are between a sh!* ending (the actual ending) or a sh!**er ending (being killed or put in prison). Your only rewards for playing well are earning money (which is meaningless anyway, as the game makes clear on several occasions), and not dying.

If you look at it another way, this game is kind of like A Game of Thrones except instead of a brutal game where the outcomes are win or die, in this game the outcomes are die or survive but lose anyway. THAT is why it's unsatisfying. (edit: well, that and because it's waayyyy too grindy).

Actually to get down Rogers may be a little bit better then Chaffee - because in the first case some unknown to the player prosecutor dies from heart attack - and in the Chaffee case it is Lana...And not-your-girl is still better then dead-girl, correct?

Yeah but you better have made that retirement money before then, because Chaffe only gives you one dollar. How that dude thinks absolutely escapes me. Then again, anybody calling themselves Robsepierre probably has some issues.

All in all I'm pretty satisfied with the game. It's a lot of fun to play. Just wish it had better variety for the endings. A full on good ending that was really hard to get would be nice. More variety depending on whether or not you have enough money, or maybe Boyd has to go on the run because he helped the mafia too much.

Yup same here. I'm disappointed with the lack of endings but for the price I paid for this game, I guess it's justified. And I've got like 27 hours into the game for 1 playthrough (I think 2-3 hours of afk and save scumming). Although, with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ending and lack of other routes, I'm less inclined to play again.

I had a one sniper each at: Courthouse, Church, University. None on the museum, because one of the investigations you get, the director of the art gallery tells you that there's no possible access to the roof of the museum anymore. And another investigation tells you, that both the church and the courthouse have great vantage points. And I figured 2 snipers on one spot are kinda overkill, so I put the third on the university.

Otherwise I did everything as in the quoted image. My assault succeeded.
