oCrapaCreeper Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Nope Ending C is the real ending. Also why would endings that prevent you from getting 100% be cannon? Heh, who would've thought that artwork is an ending of the game back when we were speculating "GUISE TRUNK KIDNAPS CONFIRMED" Edited September 26, 2013 by oCrapaCreeper IveGotNoValues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevean2 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 So many Ignorant people here. Of course its GTA forums "Ending C is the canon ending cause I say so. Of course I have no proof to back this up apart from the fact all three protagonists live, but OH well" "You have evidence? Oh sh*t you're stupid!" "You didnt pick the same ending as me? you're wrong and should sell the game" UltraGizmo64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIMSTER777 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Put SPOILER in the title, homie. And I disagree. Though you make an interesting point, I believe that ending B is the true ending. The title itself is 110% obvious that its a spoiler lol.*Facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davexen Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) I can't imagine anything but ending C being the canon ending. There are so many loose ends (Devin, Steve, Stretch, Cheng) that remain unresolved with the other endings. Loose ends are ALWAYS fixed in the final missions. Killing Catalina in GTA III, killing Sonny Forelli and Lance Vance in GTA:VC, killing Frank Tenpenny and Big Smoke in GTA:SA, killing Massimo Torini in GTA:LCS, killing Diego Mendez and Jerry Martinez in GTA:VCS, killing Dimitri Rascalov or Jimmy Pegorino in GTA IV, killing Billy Grey in TLAD, killing Ray Bulgarin in TBOGT. Yet for some reason in GTA V all these people that tried to have the protagonists killed end up being spared and Trevor, who poses no threat to the other protagonists, gets killed? Personally I would hate it if A ends up being the final outcome. In some weird turn of events, Trevor ends up being the only GTA V protagonist with any morals at all. Michael tried to have Trevor killed before, and he's more than happy to jump on the bandwagon when Franklin decides to betray Trevor as well. Just compare Trevor's reaction to Franklin wanting to kill Michael to Michael's reaction when Franklin wants to kill Trevor. Trevor says he's had more than enough snakes in his life and cuts off contact with Franklin completely, Michael can't get to his gun fast enough to betray his old friend once again. Franklin is a boy who does exactly as he's told and Michael is a snake who will betray his own friends for money time and again. Trevor, psychotic as he may seem at first, is the only one with a shred of honor. If you play the A ending, just watch the way Trevor screams "Michael!" after he finds out he's been betrayed yet again. I found it quite heartbreaking to be honest. Personally I wish there would've been a way for Trevor to kill both Franklin and Michael, especially the latter had it coming. Ending C is an acceptable alternative though.

Jimmy Darmody Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Don't come arround with Trevor being a villain. Trevor is an anti-hero. And Michael is not a hero either. Trevor is violent and threatning but he is loyal. He fought for his friends when the police took them down and had to go flee. During the whole game Trevor cares the most about taking Brad out of prison. He's main value is loyalty and the reason why he becomes threatning is because he think Michael will set him up... again. Micahel f*cked up because he betrayed his friends. But he did it because of his family. All characters are not good or bad. The whole story is very existentialist and niilist.

Deffpony Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 At the end of the day I think its clear that Franklin did not want to kill either Michael or Trevor. So thats the decision I went with because it felt more real. Franklin was loyal as f*ck to both Michael and Trevor from the start, so it makes no sense why he would just decide to kill them.

ells144 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 the only right ending is C why would you pick A/B only to loose a character. when you are given the choice franklin basically hints to pick option C by saying he should put himself forward . i cant remember the whole quote and also CJ is franklins uncle as denise is his aunt and it only makes complete sense that CJ has a C in it so the true ending is ending CJ as he is doing it for CJ to show his respect.

I want to know the answer to this as well... I think option C is called "Deathwish"? That may be a little f*cked up to players cognition. My translation was "Risk everything". It makes a difference. Still, i'd pick Franklin anyway. Loyalty ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csukar Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 What about the hundreds upon hundreds of innocent police Michael and Franklin have murdered aswel? Also you say a person couldn't go around murdering and maiming people in real life? I'm pretty sure someone couldn't rob a bank in real life then kill 100's of police and get away scott free because they wated 5 minutes for the police to stop looking for them.

El Zilcho Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 There is no real ending. However, C is the classic GTA ending; all bad guys taught a lesson, everyone happy. In gameplay terms, it would be the 'real' one, as it allows all avenues to continue unabatted, in true GTA style. I can still see the merits of A; I chose it first time around, and agreed with the necessity to get rid of Trevor's loose cannon from the deck. I was also concerned that C might end with Franklin dead, so I thought I'd give A a go. B, while I feel the least likely, was the most poignant - I felt the loss of Michael, and most of all, found Franklin's echoing of Michael in the line "your legs give out, and you can't run anymore" a nice nod to that need to survive overriding all else, something that is also mentioned in A. I found this admittance of the human condition, and need to survive above all else, a grittier edge to the game. C didn't have this, it rather ended with 'happily ever after' note. Fun, but not as impactful as the other two, I felt. For gameplay purposes, I proceeded with C as my game file, but found A the most likely in real life, B the most emotional.

seanforever Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Your theory would make sense if, after choosing A, you could go on to dispatch Devin Weston Devin Weston basically had Michael's family set up to be murdered. There is no way Mike would let him get away with this. Yet after the game ends, Mike and Frank just go about their merry lives and forget it all happened? I agree that killing Stretch, Cheng, hell even Steve Haines is just filler to appease the gamer as you described. But Devin Weston was the true villain in the game, and choosing A or B doesn't let you do anything about that That is why C is the 'real' ending.

spamtackey Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) A felt the most brutal and well... awful. Probably the most realistic but it left open Michael's feud with Devin and Franklin's whole gang-war sideplot. B felt slightly better as it called back to earlier in the game with Michael and Franklin's relationship, which I feel is more bringing the story full circle than Trevor. Yes Trevor was in the opening but the opening was more of backstory for the main plot and it's been called back over and over since then. This ending still leaves open sideplots. C closed all of the sideplots and gave the game a 'classic vinewood' ending feel, which IMO fits perfectly with the story and atmosphere of the game.

Razed- Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) C is the true ending, I don't have to say why because everyone already stated good points about it. Also, Trevor and Michael would never run from a 2-bit gangster such as Franklin. Trevor is a beast, he can destroy Franklin. Michael can as well, they are both more experienced with shooting and action than Franklin. Franklin is loyal though, the real Franklin wouldn't kill the others off.

Yeah, it just doesn't make sense for Franklin to do either. Even the dialogue made it sound completely wrong and out of character. I think having these three different endings is Rockstar's way of saying that this universe is done with now. Why do I think this? Because there are just too many damn complications. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if next gen had it's own universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGB727 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I leave Option C as my choice in my main save, and I'm happy with it. But, this was an interesting and well thought out post with many valid points. Maybe I like C best and believe it to be the canon ending because I want it to be. But, that's the point, isn't it? It's a video game, I want it to end that way, and so it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oCrapaCreeper Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 C really seems too long, too detailed, and has the least splot holes to not be the canon ending. A and B really don't make much sense for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesun62 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think of this as a movie as much as a game. C was the hollywood ending. And as Michael said in the end of C something along the lines of, we are f*cked up disfunctional friends. Trevor saved Michaels ass in the big shoot out with IIS, FIB and Merryweather, even though he hated him for Brad. Trevor was not just looking for the big score. He seemed to want his friend back. In the end, they all stuck up for each other and stood by each other dispite their differences. Besides, in the other endings You don't get to hear Trevor say "Now What?" I thought that was classic.

fawks20000 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I didn't read the original post or any other in this thread but judging from the subject, you're obviously wrong. If you actually played the game and payed attention to the character development, especially in Trevor, you'd know that you picked that absolute worst ending. It's understandable if you thought C meant Franklin would die but hopefully you had a backup save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killahmatic Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Ending A is the true ending. You forgot to add "to me". No ending is the true ending, the same way all endings are true endings. Its an opinionated thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
