it's only a "punishment" if you hate more fun.

Getting the bad ending when you play like a murderous psychopath is a reward, not a punishment.

I can't remember how shit went down. Was the bad ending a punch in the gut or something?

Bad Ending requires you to save Emily from falling off the tower. She ends up wanting to become a tyrant, too.

>>382609186
So why is that considered bad? I'd love that shit.

Wipe this meme from the face of the earth

A pacifist run should be punishing, that's the point. It's easier and more enjoyable to run around and kill people, it takes a lot of restraint to not do that.

>>382609467
I didn't think it's bad, either. The Good Ending feels more like a punishment - a cakewalk to the tower/most of your enemies dead and the clear weather. It is absolutely no fun.

>hey why is this immersive sim's narrative responding to my in-game actions? why am I so retarded that I need an overtly positive ending to get closure in an interactive story? why can't this game callously disregard my agency and give me a preset generic ending?

>>382609867
You telling me about the bad ending makes me wanna give the game another shot.

>>382607726
>>punish anyone who uses it
>murder everyone and everything in your way
>wants the peaceful ending

I mean, are you stupid? Everyone whines about no consequences for taking different actions. This game gives you results based on your actions and you get whiners like this idiot.

How did they respond to those complaints? How did the sequel end?

>>382610093
Do it, man. I'm going to replay it myself this week.

>>382610371
The sequel is a lot more ambiguous in the end. Where, lets say, the first game was 70% of the ending feels different based on high/low chaos where about 30% is the same no matter what you do, reverse that for the sequel ending.

So they overreacted, like every developer ever. Such a dumb fucking shame.

It doesn't have a dedicated kick button and thus is shittier than Dark Messiah.
