No matter how many times I see that MGS 4 ending or have someone explain it to me I just get more and more confused.

I actually found the MGS4 ending to be quite comprehensible.

@movezig

Yeah, we do realize Japan and China are two completely separate nations.

We simply used the Great Wall of China because it's a big iconic collection of bricks.

And we wanted a strong visual representation of an iconic big collection of bricks to highlight we were talking about Assassin's wall.

Liquid is good?
Awesome! Ive always liked him!
Braid's twist is so awesome... It reminds me of the sixth sense...

Braid's alternate reality is a clever way of dealing with big themes with the limited space XBLA dictates. Makes me wonder why we need hugely contrived, convoluted adventures found in Assasin's Creed and MGS4 when smart use of limited hardware can unlocks a system's potential much more effectivly. And costs less.

I'm pretty sure Jonathan Blow has come out and said that it's more complicated than just the A-Bomb. From what I remember the princess represents three things, his mom, his girlfriend and the A-bomb.

wait so in MGS you were the somewhat bad guy yet the good guy yet the guy who was trying to kill the good guy who everyone thought was the bad guy and the bad guy who everyone thought was dead was actually alive and a good guy...but wat about the fact that they say snake was a ticking time bomb cause of foxdye and how the hell does this story make any sense.
