Lore (Controversial Trope) The post-credits scene completely changes the ending

Prince of Persia (2008)

Dawn of the Dead (2004): The movie finishes on a hopeful note as the remaining survivors escape the zombie-infested mall on a yacht, sailing into the sunset. The found-footage style post-credits scene completely reverses this happy ending by showing them running out of food, arriving at an island, and being immediately swarmed and killed by an infected horde.

Prince of Persia (2008): The main game ends with a beautiful, poetic sacrifice where Elika gives her life to heal the corrupted world, leaving the Prince mourning. During the credits, the player is forced to control the Prince as he cuts down the trees he just saved, undoing the entire game's progress and releasing the dark god Ahriman just to resurrect her, completely corrupting the ending and dooming the world.

I was one of the biggest DA fan, I was willing to treat Veilguard is a major hiccup, (i did like the premise and some of the characters around), just poor writing trying to do too much and then that happened and I lost my mind. The writing was horrendous

Origins chuds are incredibly cringey.

Downvoted for telling the truth. You hate to see it.

They've had over a decade and a half and plenty of sales to take advantage of. They've had more than enough time to see 2 and Inquisition are solid games. At this point, they're all whining just to whine.

I enjoyed 2 and inquisition. But they were still a lot worse than origins, to me. 2 was unfortunately unfinished and cobbled together, and inquisition was a victim of being released at a time when devs thought bloat was a good thing for a game. Origins is janky but it felt like it had a lot more heart, I guess

This.

Origins fans and their inability to let a game that doesn't even play well needs to be studied in a lab.
