10 Video Game Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed
3. The War Isn't Over - Freedom Fighters
Hurray, we killed the Russians and stopped them from invading Good Old America! Just like Hollywood always promised us we could. Go Wolverines and all that, slap on the disco music and let’s have a party. Oh, what? Even though we’ve driven back the Red Tide, this is likely just the start of a second, even more massive invasion?
Yeah that’s the thing about Russia, there’s a LOT of people who live there, and a LOT of people willing to fight sickle and hammer for the Motherland.
So while the game presents it as you beating back the Ruskies in the name of cheeseburgers, freedom and privatised healthcare, it seems very foolish to think nobody will ever be coming back to exact revenge - especially when they basically had America on the ropes.
It’s true that the game was setting up a sequel, but as that never came to light, we have to fill in the gaps, realising that things aren’t going to go so smoothly after the credits.
