Man, when the other options are either to bring about global collapse or to hand power back to the people who got the world into this mess to begin with, I gotta say that becoming the god in the machine is definitely the coolest ending.
lol im so glad you brought this up. i play this game like every year. when i first beat it i was 13 and thought the helios ending was the BEST. ive been forced to accept the new dark age as the least bad option since.
I am sorry sir but that is...fucking weird. Millions will die due to the collapse of global infrastructure.
Like, seriously, it's gonna be bad.
I remember playing this game on 9/11. It was almost beautifully surreal. Because when news consoles talked about "the attack on New York" and I was just there eating Oreos, the reality and the game just kinda merged and I started to forget which was which.
Iunno, seems a bit small-minded even if it happens to be true regarding rationalists
