Doesn't matter what you thought of the endings. They're both canon to some extent, considering both Otacon and Meryl are alive in the sequels.

>>375577687
FtNW wasn't terrible... but the writing went from humorous at times to full goofy, with a heaping of cringe.

Of course, even a good game following Covenant would have been a let down, because SH2 was practically 2 good RPGs in one purchase.

The save data always corrupts before reaching the ending

>>375577557
you see the consequences at the end of the game. that's why it's called an "ending". you would rather games always end with shitty "sequel bait" endings instead of a satisfying experience?

>>375579484

Nah, get the DLC to go with it. It's literally the same game, just with some new missions added, new weapons, you can turn your troops into cyborgs of genetically modify them.

>>375579535
well it could make sense, once you reached the true ending, it means the story is over and there's no need for a sequel

I hope they re-release the first 2 Shenmues. I've always wanted to play them but I've been a sonyfag all my life and don't feel like shelling out for a Dreamcast and an XB just so I can play one game.

>>375581032
I want to punch you in the face for reminding me of this

I enjoyed the game for what it was, even with the weak story, but that fucking ending soured my fondness for it

It then goes on to say that everything that happened before was because of the mating ritual of a race of space whales

Fuck that, if I were playing a VN and that shit happened, I'd be done with romancing waifus

>>375583443
where is english translation for this game, its been years

The canon ending is you uninstalling the game
Freeing you from CYCLES OF GUILT

>>375580164
Sectoids are pretty attractive
Just wish the whole "subjugation of the human species" wasn't part of their plan

Fucking Mad Max. They actually had the guts to kill Chumbucket and after the credits the fuckers back because they couldn't think of a way for Max to repair his car by himself.

I think he's confused, Bloodborne is more of a thematic sequel than a direct one

>Game has two endings depending on actions you take in the last 15 minutes a
>Both are pretty bad
The true ending is only unlocked when you 100% the game and it's objectively better than both
It's also canon

>>375578997
>Gives the illusion of choice
Made it 75% through Sleeping Dogs before I found out you don't influence shit, fucking joke of a game.

>>375578974
they're not evil or demonic though

Does any of novels even translate?

Not really the Canon ending but blops 2's bad end was way better than the others.

Nah man. He raped Hilda to death. Visco finds him in the act and tries to kill him. He just kills her instead, but doesn't rape.
