The last level really seems like they got bored but completely it anyhow to cash in.

The ending itself ... I like to have a measure of choice in my games. The ending of this game is quite simply the revelation that Philip is an asshole. No two ways about it, no doubts, no inclarities. It's a simple fact. Sadly the game does not let you know that in advance, so you keep on pushing only to get punished.

P:BP was the very first game i ever played that made me feel like i was being punished for completing it.

Now, what does that have to do with choice? You have none in this game, you're completely powerless. The only choice you have in this game is to play it or not to play. Knowing what kind of person Philip is would only have resulted in one thing: Me killing him at the very first opportunity, then quitting and uninstalling the game.

I could write a lot more here, but I'll bring it to a clear point. Frictional Games, the quite honestly shit job you did on the ending convinced me of one thing: I'll never again buy a game unless i haven't pirated and fully played through it already and am convinced that the makers deserve the money. You don't.
Yeah, like it isn't like that in most of the games... even RPGs sometimes don't give you a choice. If you didn't like the game at all, I'm wondering why are you in the forum at all. It's all about that...
Bare in mind that I'm not attacking you and I don't think the game is perfect.

Seriously, this whole thing here about the end bugs a bit. Why care?
Haven't you ever played games or movies or anything else with open stories? You see what they want you to see, and you imagine whatever you want. You own ending or whatever's missing.

As for me, the only thing I don't like is not knowing who philip was contacting by mail, just because I'm translating the game into my language, and this case it makes a little difference. But that doesn't have to do with the game.
And about the location, for those that don't know, many many many writters have based their stories upon locations that do exist but in which there's none of those things you see in the story. It's common. you're all just makin' a tempest in a glass of water. (Like we say here)
