    The ending is a reflection of what happens when you deal with a situation like this improperly and poorly prepared. To properly arrest seed and keep the cult under control would of required the National Guard or a large deployment of law enforcement to isolate the cultists and keep them from running amok. The marshal pushed you to do it undermanned and ill prepared and you followed his glory seeking ignorant impatient self.

    Basicly you do as the Marshal you basically escalate the situation ill prepared to properly handle the situation. You ignore the Marshal and follow the Sheriff's advice you play it smart and choose the path of patience and planning.

    Is it me or do you think most of those congratulating and/or protecting Ubisoft are employees of Ubisoft, Paid by Ubisoft, trolls, or people who like surrealism art.

    Surrealism artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects, and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself.

    Are we forgetting why we buy FPS’s?

    To those that are claiming we’re missing the “deeper meaning” or some “life lesson / interpretation”, have you forgotten that this is a ****ing FPS, not a reading of “War and Peace” or “Catcher in the Rye”? If I want a life lesson or a “teaching moment”, I’ll Pick up a book or debate some random individual at a coffee shop. For now, can you let us get back to basics of a good FPS story line where we shoot the psycho bad guy and party afterwards (I like the idea of drunk scene at Spread Eagle).

    I liked the ending.

    It was unexpected and open ended, leaving you with some questions on what you could have done or should have done.

    It was also strongly expressed when you killed the lieutenants that you were doing exactly what Joseph had predicted. Jacob said as much and Faith even more so. By killing them and pushing on to fight the Cult you were playing right into their hands.

    With that in mind I wasn't unhappy about the ending. I liked that the ending alludes to there being more to the story. A second chapter or a starting point for the upcoming Zombie DLC. Who knows? And that is what makes it interesting, intriguing and with somewhat of a mystery to it.

    It's also a nice gesture to the "Just world fallacy" where the notion that the world is just and those who do bad things are punished and those who are poor somehow deserved it. The bad guys don't always die, and neither did Joseph (for now?).

    I'm excited to see what they will bring as a follow-up to the game.

    I have a feeling they are going to be going the Skyrim route with Far Cry 5 and add on to this game with DLC and addons rather than go for a Far Cry 6. And with that also in mind the ending makes a bit of sense... they now have an open door to go almost anywhere with a new campaign where you continue the fight against the Cult.

    Anyways.

    I loved the game, enjoyed the characters and voice acting, laughed at the hilarity of the many chaotic situations and was intrigued by the ending.

    Just my 2 cents.

    > Running around kidnap, murder, brainwash people and do whatever he want in the name of cult.
    > Resist federal issued warrant with creditable evidence by force.
    > Predicts getting killed in the process from above

    k.

    I suggestion you rob people in front of law enforcement and refuse to listen said LE.

    There, I made a prophecy and it will became true if you do so.'

    I can't believe people are so dumb that I need to write those.

    The people on steam don’t like ending to put it mildly.

    The people over on the far cry Reddit hate the ending too. The worst part is we won't get a new one. This fan base isn't as passionate or butthurt as the Mass Effect fanbase and we don't have petitions with 400000 signatures asking for more content.

    For now we're stuck with this dark depressing ending that makes my time feel wasted. I failed my mission and that's fine but give me the choice to have a good ending. Make these optional and you choose the one you liked the best.

    Now I gotta pretend the ending was a hallucination and lie to myself to even continue. It's trash.

    I´ve become immune to this type of ending after Mass Effect 3, felt really bad after that so nowdays i try just to enjoy the gameplay and thats it, but yeah the end is bad, a couple of things that to me are specialy ******ed

    - The world is ending - i honestly didnt get any of that out of the hours i played the game, your allies, quest givers, hell even bosses dont tell you nothing that can remotely indicate that nuclear war is imminent, apparently theres some info on the radio, but since you barely have time to drive before you get attacked like 90 % of the times, listening to radio was the last of my priorities, this is a massive flaw from the devs, it should have been clearer that the collapse was about nuclear war.

    - The good ending is... disturbing - you get stucked handcuffed and hostage to a maniac who will do to you god knows what, thats bad, pretty much kills the replayability of the game, the bad ending isnt better also since it implies you go ape and kill all your friends, its like ubi doesnt want us to replay the game...ever.

    anyways, top game, had great fun in Montana , pitty about the endings.

    This might not be the butthurt Mass Effect fanbase but besides petitions, they modded alternate endings, granted only for PC. What is withholding this community to do so?

    The problem is not the endings, the endings are great.

    The REAL problem is that there is nothing you can do in the game to alter them or unlock at least one "good" ending. There is no choices or actions you can do in the game to alter them. For example (SPOILERS BELOW) :

    You can not kill Burke or not save him in the bliss or find him in the world to avoid him and Virgil dying.
    You can not avoid killing Eli, I tried not shooting him, or run past him through the door to make him survive.
    There is no options or secret ways to avoid the brainwashing done by Jacob.
    There should also be an option to just shoot Joseph in the head in the end.

    Doing these or any combination of these should have unlocked 1-2 "good" endings. I consider it a massive missed opportunity that you couldn't do anything secretive or optional to unlock 1-2 alternate endings. The endings right now are only bad because the story is 100% linear with no optional way to avoid them. The "bad" endings immidiately made me want to replay the game to discover an alternate ending, but I realized after much experimentation that it is not possible.
