    Do you like games with more than one ending

    Want to open a debate on the single-player games with multiple story arcs and multiple endings. I'm not sure who actually found it satisfying as a game experience and wondered how the gaming community of thought on this subject in general. The game that took up most of this to my attention was Fallout New Vegas. It is true that this is an extreme example, but highlights a trend - and I wondered what really enjoy a game that may have around 40 different routes and possible end plots? For me, the endless road frame can detract from the immersion and enjoyment of a story - rather than better.

    I say the more the better. Watch Chrono Trigger. It is a Great game. Although some of the endings really should not be considered terminations. For the most part, however, work was assigned and added to the replay value. I think three would probably be enough. Most developers have a hard enough time delivering a good end - unless a developer is incredibly talented when it comes to writing stories, just three different endings, it would probably be a waste of time.

    I have only one problem with it if it is arbitrary choices, like not killing certain enemies or let a person hurt or ammunition used escort or left (Silent Hill I am looking at you). However, when the story allows you to make believe it is natural for different endings depending on the choice. In addition, if the end is different based on what you choose, then it is a sell out because most end multiple occur only after the game is over and does not affect the gameplay.

    Not everything is on the end. It could knock down all kinds of words here as "it is better to travel then get" but I'm sure you get it. A fitting end is nice, but not the only reason to play a game, otherwise we all gathered around a U-Tube to see the end of the game instead of playing current games. The act of choosing is important and is often a game system and the same. A good ending, obviously, will join the elections, but it is important that they are there.

    I like multiple endings that change based on what you've done throughout the game (not just the last 10 minutes) at the same time I realized that I rarely play through again to get the different endings. Most times I'll take a look at the endings on YouTube or simply read what others say. In some cases, games that have saved more than I prefer to stick to an end because that's my story for the game and does other finishing dilute my experience and that melt and become more difficult to understand.
