I'm glad BB didn't die in the end and we got to see the true continuity of all those flashbacks. For a second, I thought they were going to say that BB = Sam, which (while something I entertained) would be crazy and wouldn't make much sense. Also like how you can hear birdsong at the end, suggesting things might be improving...?

No timefall, no BTs

The world seems to be recovering

Wait, there's no timefall or BTs anywhere in the final chapter (post-game) or canonically at the end? 'Cause I just made a LV2 backpack cover. :P

In the mission before the credits there's no Timefall, BTs, or anything

And Sam walks outside with Lou uncovered with regular rain and a normal rainbow

Yeah, I figured it must be regular rain or else Sam wouldn't have just walked out into like an idiot.

After looking through the credits, it looks like there's someone called the Musician. I didn't get the trophy for all connections, or even maxed connections, so I'm guessing that's a dude I missed somewhere. If so, weird how I never found any packages for him/her randomly, like I did with other well-hidden types, like First Prepper and Veteran Porter.

Hope you enjoyed it. I really liked the game and the ending. I don't think I'm clamoring for a sequel, but I was very glad for the experience.

Yeah, it was pretty enjoyable overall. It's mostly the fetch quests and resource-collection slogs that bring it down a bit. Otherwise, it's fun and memorable. I do with they'd invented a way -- or had some type of upgrade for constructs -- that prevented timefall or something, though. A ton of time was dedicated to undoing those effects and, while fun for awhile, was tiresome by the end. It didn't help that ziplines needed 1440 chemicals and they're so damn rare to find in the wild.

Also, the Musician is apparently at the base of the river in the very first region. Can't believe I missed that! Was going to explore up there at some point, but then I went to the wind farm and found BTs nearby, so I just forgot.

Yeah, it was pretty enjoyable. I was gonna go and find all the missing USB sticks or whatever as a last hurrah, but got bored about halfway through, so that's probably it for my DS adventure.

Probably. I do have 3-4 games sitting around that I could do a blind playthrough on.

Best acting in the whole damn game right here. He fucking nailed the scene.

Yeah, that scene was pretty great. After he's wailing, he just gets up and starts talking like normal though, lol. He's just that good!

I thought he would be an enemy to fight at some point, but I'm glad they dodged that trope. Just 'cause he has a skull mask doesn't make him an evil dude, even if he did have a naughty past. By about the two-thirds point of the game, you know the chapter naming scheme is about characters, so keeping his until so late almost convinced me he'd be a puppetmaster or something.

Tommy Lee Jenkins (Die-Hardman) did a great job. He's also a big fan of the game, his social media is worth checking out.

My favorite character is Cliff, though. I absolutely loved his story and how you slowly find out more about who he is and what he really wanted.

And I also didn't find the Musician until after I beat the game.

Thanks for the topic, it was great reliving one of my favorite games of the generation.

Yeah, Cliff (Mads) and DH was fantastic. I really can't think of anyone who was miscast either, although there were times I wasn't big on Higgs.

It sounds like the EE seduced him to its side somehow and that's why he left Fragile Express. I'm sure there's more detail, but I skipped most of those unlockable stories, just like in MGSV. (Well, except the Kaz Miller hamburger stories...those are too good to pass up.)

I just finished the game last week and I gotta say I feel the same way about this game as I did about mgs4 after I finished it.

I really dislike the fact kojima after 12 years is still in the habit of throwing 2 hour long cut scenes at the end of his games.

Think she picked him because he suffered from DOOMs and was a porter. Just like Sam she used him to expedite the extinction event.
