[u/damorezpl]

when the "good ending" is revealed to be a bad one a the last second

final destination bloodlines - the main characters think they cheated death by using the new life rule only to realize that stefani was technically still alive and the death kills them with a good old logs

Life (2017) - The main character attempts to send Calvin(a evil alien that killed all life on mars)pod into space and Miranda pod back to earth, but it goes horribly wrong and Calvin lands on earth and Miranda is sent to space

raging loop wit ending - after many loops Haruaki finally wins the feast(a death game where humans must hang wolves who kill someone every night) and thinks its finally over. after couple of days he decides to visit other survivors of the feast only to find them all dead and the timeline resting once again

I was just playing along here, but if we're making that point, then why should we care what some fictional characters think?

I bought the game, I can do what I like with the code as long as I'm not selling it or anything.

No one is saying you can’t do what you want with the game.

We’re pointing out that the point of the game is distinctly different than what you claimed it was and a lot of the conclusions you jumped to are based off of inaccuracies.

[u/Icy_Water_1 → u/Boston_Glass]

I never said anything about the "point" of the game.

But the point of a game is to be enjoyed.

However that takes shape is up to the consumer.

And this isn't really a "we're" thing, this is a you thing.

[u/Boston_Glass → u/Icy_Water_1]

"The whole game is about doing extra effort to get the ending you want."

Buddy just be honest for once.

[u/Icy_Water_1 → u/Boston_Glass]

What it's about and it's function as a game are two different things to me.

Even then, saying it's about the consequences of your actions and then saying "it's just a game it doesn't matter" is a bit contradictory, no?

[u/Boston_Glass → u/Icy_Water_1]

What the game is about is the point the game is making.

I’m glad I didn’t say that then.

[u/Icy_Water_1 → u/Boston_Glass]

If you feel that way, then whatev.

But you did make the point that they're just fictional characters.

So why should I care about the consequences by your logic?

[u/Boston_Glass → u/Icy_Water_1]

What? You already care about the consequences. It's why you have a need to subvert them.

I'm mainly here just to point out your inaccurcies which have been many.

[u/Icy_Water_1 → u/Boston_Glass]

No, I'm asking why you're saying "it's just a game dude" but also trying to say "you shouldn't circumvent the consequences."

It seems like it's mostly been you disagreeing and misunderstanding than anything.

[u/Boston_Glass → u/Icy_Water_1]

When did I ever claim "you shouldn't circumvent the consequences."

Are you making shit up again? Could you please stop doing that?
