Wow. I honestly didn't expect that to happen. I was devastated. Things were looking up and then he gets murdered like that. He committed crimes yes, but he was looking to atone. And it's just the way he was murdered too, not a single gun shot, but absolutely blasted with bullets leaving him bloody and torn, yet you could see him struggling to remain standing and not be beaten. Just heartbreaking.
Again, totally unsuspecting to me, because usually they'd leave the game world free to explore after the credits roll. But they handled that in a way that makes sense. Though it's not the true ending, not quite. I dunno, did any of you see the secret mission in Blackwater afterwards? That leads to a definite conclusion.
In my top 3 games of the year, that's for sure.
