*SOMEWHAT OF A SPOILER*
I've discussed this to death, and I'm only going to say this: those who saw the real ending and thought it was worthless are not thinking hard enough. Let your mind mull over the entire game with some of the knowledge you have now and watch as you realize that not a single aspect of the game was as it seemed. Easily the most clever story of any video game.

Cool gif!
I played through Roberto Bianchi's chapter. And goddamn was that guy slow or what! Haha, I totally forgot he was that fat and slow with such bad condition. Five steps and he almost passed out.
...and... this room. I totally forgot how to get the puzzle right. Anyone wanna give me a hint?

I was really hyped up the first time I played this game. I was let down and didn't even finish it. Later I went in without any expectations and enjoyed the game very much. The sanity system is completely broken, you can just cast a spell to make it go away. The mechanics and magic are passable, but the story and settings just pulled me in.

I loved everything about ED, with the exception of the final battle, which is probably the most pathetic I've seen. But in the end I didn't care, because it was a great experience. 
I would be thrilled to see a sequel.

Eternal Darkness is probably one of my favorite games on GC. I even liked the final battle. Yeah, it was easy, but I thought the execution was great...
A lot of people like to hate on the game, but I can tell that SK really put a lot of time, effort, and love into making this game, and it met and probably even exceeded my expectations
BTW, my favorite chapter is probably Max's. I love his autopsies. They're so over the top yet so perfect at the same time.
Getting to play as characters who died because of Pious/the ancients and ultimately helping to kill him was pretty neat, and I liked the little cut scenes of the ancients fighting it out that would interrupt your battle every once in a while.

Unless of course you've played Shadow of Destiny, which takes the whole "rethink what you've been doing" concept and does it better.
I beat it for the third time tonight. What did I think about the special ending? Well... it wasn't that bad and it wasn't that good. But still okay. It feels great to have unlocked everything though. Now I have the long anticipated Chapter Selection and Eternal Mode! Weee!
Now bring on SK's next project!

Maybe they'll show their new game there?
I shouldn't talk so much, because it's sooo late, or not?^^

Eternal mode would be more fun if the sanity meter wasn't effected by it too.Deepthroat said:I beat it for the third time tonight. What did I think about the special ending?

Hey thanks for the link trippingmartian. Totally missed your post.
"Lastly, Dyack said that after MGS just watch out because Silicon Knights has some incredible work on the way. He said that he?s learned so much from the creator of Metal Gear and Miyamoto that their next project is going to be a killer."
That's the main reason I so badly want one more game from them this generation. I hope they announce something soon. Or at least say what the hell they're planning. I don't like when companies don't let the fans know what they are up to. Or at least give them a hint.

One of the reason's I hope SK says something about their next project soon is that it may offer a window into why the companies split up so suddenly, then they become so cryptic in saying it was due to "creative differences" which means pretty much nothing.
In the end, I guess it'll probably be decided that the split happened due to Nintendo changing directions with second parties (ie. dumping them) or just the fact that SK's games didn't sell so well.
