I'm mostly talking about video games here but i'll make mention to movies too hence dropping this thread in the media subforum.
Anyway, what are your opinions on alternate endings?
I both love and hate them. If the alternate ending is part of a stand alone movie or game then that's fair enough, if there is only going to be the one then more than one ending is fine with me... Where i disagree with alternate endings is in video games and movies that have sequels...
For example; Prince of Persia: Warrior Within had an alternate ending, and to be honest it was pretty hard to get. You had to get all the health upgrades and the water sword and take out the Dahaka to get it, I didn't mind this until the next game 'Two Thrones' took its lead from the alternate ending instead of the one most people got, this bugged me because it meant that Two Thrones had to spend a good portion of its lengthy introduction explaining why certain characters were still alive...
This happens in movies too...
