"e enough...although I would point out the title is "How multiple endings CAN ruin games" not "WILL ruin games" With that in mind I tried to come up with examples supporting that theme as examples not supporting that theme would not make sense in this article. I still believe that if a game is going to have a story, that story should be important. What makes a well done story are the interactions and decisions the characters make. For good or bad, that is how the story goes and that is what adds depth helps you relate. If you can't say what heppened in a story, then that is a story you can't tell, and a story you can't tell is not a story at all.
I am interested in Heavy Rain and will play it when it comes out. May be it will blow my mind but I fear I may be playing the game trying to find the "best" or "true" ending and I'm not sure that's beneficial. I think a game can still be good with multiple endings, I just think they are better if I can relate the story to o"

"er-
May be I was too harsh but really it's just a topic of discussion. Bioshock is my favorite game of all time even with the ending, and I played the hell out of Fallout 3.

"ret, you make great points. I'm betting you are correct that in the last five years what it means to be a gamer has changed significantly. The influx of the Wii into everyday life has been both awesome and annoying. The idea of the basement dwelling, pizza faced, girlfriend/boyfriendless blob of a gamer has faded. Still, I find myself more often than not finding that people, especially anyone older than me, think of games as toys. They are something no serious mind could be entertained by, that they are something fun to do for five minutes, but certainly not a real hobby. A real man should never be playing games. Recently I was out with some friends and met some of their friends. He asked me what I like to do and I told him that I do a lot but what I really like to do is play videogames. Instantly my friend Amy said, "He works out everyday." It was weird. As if that is important information and able to make up for my gaming inter"
