[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5863870, member: 56189"] Hardly. You said yourself that you've seen how scathing I can be. I'm very critical of everything I view because that's the way I was raised. I was raised as a fully fledged member of the Skeptics Society and personally met James Randi before I was ten. On top of that, I was aware of people's criticisms of the ending before I experienced it for myself so I was forced out of my suspension of disbelief (which is why I was pissed at it and considered it a spoiler) and so instead of enjoying the moment in blissful ignorance, was hyper critical and aware of every flaw. I just didn't come to the same conclusions that you did. In my analysis of the ending, I don't find the flaws that you do because I feel they are easily answered and justified within the established fiction of the milieu. Nothing 'jarred'. It all made enough sense that I wasn't left thinking, "Geez, that sucked, they really screwed that up!" To understand why people have the reactions they do, I believe one has to understand the psychology behind them and in this instance I believe that people don't like the endings not because the endings themselves are illogical or unreasonable, but because they are simply not the endings that people want or expected. But that's ok. The developers have already announced that they're going to give everyone their fluffy-bunny endings through a DLC. So really, everybody wins. [/QUOTE]
