If you're looking at it from a pure plot angle then most videogames have underwhelming stories. The ending was supposed to evoke powerful emotion because you've spent so much time with these characters and you really want them to have a happy ending. Not be a literary masterpiece. I dont think anyone thought of it like that.

I'm sorry you didn't get anything out of the ending. It seems like you didn't really connect with the characters as much as others did and looked at it from a more objective, critical angle, than enmeshing yourself with the world and your friendship with the characters.

Not OP - Maybe you have a point there. I also thought the endings were cheesy and didn't like them, but I also didn't really like/care about any of the characters! So i guess if I liked the characters maybe the ending would've struck more a cord with me. Hmmm

Sometimes I wonder if it's diverging paths in games that can make a difference too. Like you can't get the good ending and some of the branching stories on the first run, so if you stop playing after that, you miss on all those extra scenes. I didn't get all the hubbub about the characters until I played again and got the good ending.

I think I feel similar to you and OP about VA-11 Hall-A. It seemed like everyone loved the game and the characters but I thought it was boring. Apparently there are different endings and different things that can happen during a playthrough but I guess I just missed all the good stuff because of the choices I made.

SA - Well I dunno that MAY be part of it. With Undertale, I played a standard run and then the pacifist run because apparently people liked that route... But I just couldn't stand any of the characters! Or at the very least, I didn't like them enough to care about killing them. I think the problem for me was that Overwatch had SO MANY characters, and if you didn't like them right away then it was difficult to care about them all.
