The Endings Are Supposed To Suck You Uncultured Morons

[Saint]

Walk Away is a joke ending just like Sit Still and Suicide were in 4 and 3.

Resist sucks because all your effort is meaningless. After everything you've done, everyone you tried to save it doesn't matter because Joseph was RIGHT. If you had done nothing more lives would've been saved. The entire moral of the past three games has been that your actions and choices end up creating more bloodshed than the status quo does and that you are a terrible person who only exists as the "Protagonist" because you showed up second. You the player - not the character - are as brutal as Vas, as cold as Pagan, and as psychotically obsessed as Joseph is. No better than any of them.

Far Cry is trying to show you that you're a terrible person and that you ENJOY being a murder-hobo. If you were given a happy ending walking into the sunset with Joseph dead or in cuffs, then you wouldn't understand the terrible things you'd done. The past few games have hidden the dark truth from you that things would get worse after the Protagonist leaves. Without anyone to lead them, Kyrat and the Rook Islands would become even worse places than they were with Pagan and Vaas in charge. Power vacuums create conflict which widens and tears the countries to shreds. Because you, The Player, were allowed to just walk away fine and dandy after ripping the power structure out of the regions and not see the aftermath, for some of you it seemed like a happy ending.

Now it's not subtle. There is no mistaking that all you did was cause death and destruction for no reason other than that you enjoyed it and ended up making things worse for everyone.

Kids here don't understand. They all want happy endings here but honestly they can go find that in Disney movies if they need it so much. Don't cry over it. If you wanna tell me that these endings are better, then you need to go read a book.

Lets not even mention the boss battles that are nothing but quick time events. Far Cry 5 gives actual boss battles as well as in depth story, which is why people are still discussing this story so much. Face it, people don't actually discuss any of the other Far Cry endings unless we are talking about how people discuss Far Cry 4's confusing as hell story. Far Cry 5 fu.cks with your head, making you question who is the real enemy in the story.

Yea, people want happy endings, and for their actions to matter. That is not always how it is in real life. But when people buy game to escape reality, for a negative message to be thrown in their face, yea, it is not going to receive a good reaction by most.

Not in the least bit does it do that.

The only people who call other people “kids” to put them down are the people who are actually immature in mind.
The only people who think a dark story being dark for the sake of shock value, and one that defies logic is a good dark story, are the people who haven’t grown out of their edge phase.

Problem is not that the game has a bad ending.
But that the ending is bad.
Badly written, badly set up, badly told.
Decent tragedy can be entertaining, even satisfying, but the game is not set up for that.

Or it just goes over your head if you can't grasp the concept. Sucks to be you in that case. Lol

Agreed.

I originally thought Joseph set off the nuke. I was like OK, that makes sense. But then found out the "story" was giving clues to the nations building up to this action, I was like, that makes no sense at all. I never got that from the narative in my playthrough. And if that is the case, the story and the endings were poorly done.

The one killing criminals, who kill innocent people- is not the same as those purposely killing innocent people. Perhaps that is over your head.

I'm sure you are just perfect and don't use words like fu.ck or kid. Look in the mirror because you are the only one that is acting immature here. Every adult acts this way and it is a part of being imperfect. No one truly grows up in the way we try to pretend we do. We put on an act in the public's eye just to impress people and fit in. It's called society. We all put others down with words such as kid. We all curse each other out. When you grow up, you will figure this out yourself. For someone like yourself to say such things just shows for immaturity and ignorance of reality.

Do you seriously believe ALL adults are condescending and aggressive like you are?
Oh boy.

There is only 1 true answer to all of this, Ubisoft doesn't want you to finish the game, hence all the poor endings.

[thugchuck]

A "good" yet still dark ending would be if you get to Joseph in a certain time frame you learn that he actually has real proof that nukes are on the way. (This was actually a hidden msseage in a copy of the pee tape Joseph had that the agent was not aware of).
You take charge and order the surviving people of Hope county into bunkers with just enough time to stock up and save some of them. You're the hero to some at least and this will fit with the zombie DLC that the radiation and bliss interact with each other to create "zombies" on anyone remaining outside still.

Yeah, just as the USA committed genocide/rape and then called it a holiday. But it was justified in our eyes so it is ok, right? You can justify your statement in your eyes all you want, but it doesn't make it right. Who is to say that those people are innocent? That is something that is clearly going over your head. The Nazis thought that their way of life was correct and that anyone that opposed their way of life was to be killed. See a similarity? The Americans in this game's story act the same way. They are killing the cultists for opposing their ideal way of life. The cultists see the American people the same way as people saw the Nazis back in WW2. Do you know which side is correct? The side that wins. That is the way it always has been in history. For all you know, we could of been just like the Nazis in the past and destroyed any evidence of it. Then made our ideals the correct way of life in the world. We could of slaughtered an entire race of people who saw us as Nazis way back then. No one would be left to tell the truth of it all as we would of wiped them out. A little food for thought.

By the way, I'm a born and raised American myself and in no way am I some hater against America. I'm just a person who isn't mentally bound to one way of thinking.

In which case I genuinely hope you will grow up in mind by the time you hit 30.
