I am pleased to say, I completed GTA 4 and wow! It's an awesome game although every one already knew that. After finishing the “Money” one, I continued on to complete the “revenge” ending. They are both pretty similar. That’s all I can really say. And that I didn’t like them. Either of them.  Maybe it’s just me but they don’t feel “GTA.” They don’t feel epic. They don’t feel like it’s their real ending. That could be it; they could be using the DLC that will come out on both consoles to be the real ending to the games. I think about it, and they could have done so much with the ending of the game, they could have had an awesome chase through the centre of Algonquin with action happening left, right and centre, they could, nay, should,  have had the most bad-ass, Hollywood ending possible. Don’t get me wrong, they are good, but they aren’t amazing. The story is captivating, interesting, worthy of an Oscar or any film award, but the endings, I feel let it down. I won’t ruin it for you, but I reckon you will feel let down by the endings of the game. It seems one gives you everything but a main character dies and the other gives you little and a two bit character dies, and I hated her…. Not that it’s a her that dies. 

 

Also, I finally got round to completing Portal, which I enjoyed hugely, that’s an ending!  Kept you on edge and excited, yet made me chuckle a bit. The little things coming off G.L.A.D.O.S, the crazy mumblings from her, the ending and the end song. The Song! Every game should have an awesome song like that. It’s on my IPod and it instantly cheers me up! Now if the end of GTA had Brucie singing a song about Niko or the” Ladies,” or about how he “rolls,” then it would be much better. But now I am just talking pure, unadulterated bull. The thing is that GTA is good, no denying it, the ending is just disappointing, one seems to give you all and the other gives you nothing, and at the end of the day, all I want is cake, but it seems it is nothing but a lie.

I agree, Chavez. I just 100%'ed the single player, and am going to make a blog post about it. Ending felt kinda weak (and the other ending isn't all that different), but it's still a fantastic game.

Portal was epic.

 Well Chavez I finished it last night. I don't think the ending was the best of the GTA series but I still think it was good. It wasn't really an epic ending and after playing a game like that, which is an epic game in my mind, I kind of wish the ending was a bit more exciting, like the bank robbery mission.
Now i'm on to mass effect and i'll go back to do stunt jumps and random peds, police comp missions.
Oh, and i still gotta get packie drunk and get a cab with him to hear danny boy.
