Resist is actually the "bad" ending, "walk away" is actually not as bad

[Smokedice]

If you think about it, there is still hope for the people in Hope County since they are still alive, and the fate of the team is left entirely up to the player's imagination.

In "resist," it's simply Hell spelled out with no exception, no hope for any positive outcome down the road.

So the game journal articles have it backwards. Resist is the bad ending, walk away is the possibly "good" or at least not as bad ending.

Define good ending.

For many, a good ending is one that provides closure to the narrative by revealing the meaning of all the prior foreshadowing and resolving all the dramatic conflicts.

In that way, the walk away ending isn't the good ending.

As in there is still hope. There always a chance for a comeback in the walk away ending. The resist ending is nothing but simple nihilism.

I would call that a feel good ending. Far Cry games haven't had feel good endings since the first. But hey, whichever ending you like is the good ending for you. The game has both endings included for a reason. Though the resist ending is considered the true ending.

Only problem though is when I click continue after the credits roll, the game transports me back to right before the final confrontation. Is this a glitch or is the game forcing me to choose the bad ending?

I've seen others comment that the game loops you back until you pick the resist ending. That's the intended or 'true' ending.

Huh. I liked how Far Cry 3 and 4 at least let you decide the 'true' ending, like escaping Rook Island or placing Ajay's mother ashes with Pagan.

You kill everyone in the car and presumably yourself at the end of 'walk away'. Only You plays

That is only a possiblilty. Sometimes you just go unconscious when the song plays, plus Pratt probably knows how to stop you. And again, as long as the people of Hope County are still alive, even though brainwashed, they still have a chance.

Perhaps what the story means is that once you have become a serial killer there is no good ending for you, and you will not save the world.

[Oathtaker]

Both are bad endings. Whoever wrote the endings just got out of college and wanted to be edgy.

[KidsLoveSatan]

At least the resist ending you fight the father to the end. The walk away ending you basically give up and literally became a puppet of the cult.

The timing is off, the nukes go off either way.
Regardless of choice, before reaching Joseph's Compound you can hear on the radio a news broadcast stating Moscow got bombed along with the Middle East and tensions with Korea, along with no hope for peaceful negotiations anymore.

WW3 happens regardless of choice, the "walk away" ending is just shorter and ends before the bombs would be shown to go off, the bombs had nothing to do with the cult.

Both endings are bad, no ending is good in FC5.

That's an assumption. The screen goes black after the Sheriff asks if you're okay. Who's to say the nukes don't go off right after that?
