StaceyPowers Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 What are some games that end with more questions than answers, whether because those answers were not given or because you simply could not make sense of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Life is Strange is a very good example of a game that ended up with more questions because of the situation it left Max in between saving Chloe and her town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 This can be both a negative and a positive. Some games simply don't tie loose ends as sequel bait, others do it deliberately, while still others just fail to present a coherent epilogue. For Example Alien Isolation has no closure, and arguably you end up in a worse situation than you started from, which seems to set up a sequel that sadly never came. Beyond Two Souls, is a weird game, with lots of spirituality and the ending is completely nuts, but in a good way. From all the Quantic Dream games, this is my favorite. Mass Effect 3's ending raises more questions because it is poorly written, based on contrivances and plot points that basically mean the end of known civilization if you take it at face value.

Crazycrab Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Metal Gear Solid 2 certainly counts. It's one of the most rushed, convoluted and confusing endings ever and not just in gaming. literally the very least spoken words are Solid Snake responding to it with a very confused "What the hell!?"

Patrik Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 in Mafia 2 (and since the game is still uncompleted taking on consideration that 5 complete chapters were deleted before the final release) has a mystery ending with nobody knowing the fate of Joe Barbaro, unless you play Mafia 3 Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Most of From Software's games appear to be deliberately obtuse, and further more no small amount of their vocal fanbase expects me to eat that up. I'm playing Elden Ring which is much more liberal with its use of paragraphs, but I fail to see why George R.R. Martin was consulted. I'd have added a few extra sentences to make the game intelligable for free. More baffling than that for all the lore videos a lot of it comes down to theory and plain guesswork, which doesn't really help. My theory is the developers put a load of good ideas together and just gave them the same art style so it looks somewhat coherent, but then that loses a lot of the magic of this being 'mythology happening in real time', doesn't it? I had to look it up and apparently Martin's role was not insignificant, but I dunno, this meme holds water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 You can never count out Alan Wake from the list because it left out a lot of questions that contradict the reason he started out his journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm even still trying to play Mafia 3 in order to know the outcome of some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing good ever comes from having a game rushed. It always makes a mess of a game that's supposed to be a big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Another survival horror game that ended with more questions than answers is Five Nights At Freddy's. Till date no one knows the what's inside the mysterious box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially, we all thought that it was Queen Brahne that's main antagonist but we were all wrong. They keep getting everything twisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
