Must have only been the obvious potential controversy that stopped them from finishing it with "The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race." because that seems to fit much better and also provides some ominous implications to go along with Tracer Tong's idealism, which fits with the style of the quotes in the other endings. Especially since Kaczynski had only been caught a few years before the game was released, so there's almost no way they weren't thinking of him when planning this ending.

I remembered this today, October 4th 2021, during the facebook/whatsapp/Instagram blackout. 😅

I like this ending the best, but I feel it wasn't executed that well. Of course as everyone else points out, the net would come back very soon. The centralization of the net happened very recently in universe, so it would just go back to the old system, probably returning to a state of internet anarchy like in its heyday, so Tong's vision of a village based society(kek) isn't gonna happen. However, it would still mean that the illuminati would have far less control, information, and influence, which means politics would in turn become more local, states would have more power while federal government would be less powerful, and information far more free. Overall I think this is a good change, and could lead to a minarchist revolution. Destroying the power grid ain't so hot but hey, getting the power back online wouldn't take too long, and there should still be backup generators up and running across the country.

The Illuminati is even worse, as the only thing that changed between the majestic 12 and the ending is who’s foot is in the boot upon mankind’s face, and without any means of recourse upon it’s trampling, and it will likely make the situation occur again.

While I like this ending and the Helios ending equally, I think the people who say Helios will solve all the world's problems and would be literally perfect are somewhat naive. They don't understand that systems are just as flawed as the people who make them. Helios would mess up someway sooner or later. It is impossible for anyone or anything to be perfect, but perhaps Helios would allow it to be as close to perfect as possible. Though Tong's idea of decentralization (government on a scale comprehensible to its citizens, genuine self rule to a degree) is also very appealing to me. Edit: Ten months later and my opinion has changed drastically in favor of Tong.

After lots of thinking on my second playthrough I decided that merging with helios was probably the best choice. But I couldn't resist going back to my last save and choosing this ending - The helios ending doesn't feel right, it's sinister and morally ambiguous - and while all the endings are, there's something very heroic about destroying the tyranny that has been plaguing the world right at the source, then running away with the epic ending music. It really captures humanity's desire for freedom and unkillable hope. And the ending quote sums this up perfectly. Even JC, part machine, born and raised only to serve tyrants, refuses to bend to their will, and ironically, the fact that his humanity is greater than theirs is their downfall.

Yup, definitely the least disgusting ending.

This ending is strikingly similar to the ending of John Carpenter's Escape from L.A. where our "hero" Snake also decides to pull the plug on the planet, the only difference being that Snake's decision was the most rational choice he could've made under the circumstances -- because the 2 factions he had to choose from were equally evil, corrupt and detrimental to the world and he held both of them in utter contempt -- whereas Tong's decision is patently insane as there was absolutely no need to plunge the world into darkness. JC could've simply killed Bob without blowing Area 51 or just merge with Helios and take over himself. Ironically, if you look up L.A's ending, the comments are filled with near-unanimous support of Snake's decision whereas Tong's ending has quite the number of detractors criticizing it for very understandable reasons. Funny how simple context can change the outcome of 2 nigh-identical endings.

Not necessarily. There's the potential they could happen again, but it's by no means a certainty, or even a likelihood. And perhaps the power play was merely a result of the circumstances of the time, circumstances which may never exist again.

If Paul Denton is alive, the aforementioned role of Dr. Savage goes to Paul and it's Paul who says those lines. Paul has always been JC's good brother and even in the end, where everything depends on JC, he want's JC to choose by remaining neutral. I believe Savage was just a quick substitute made up by the developers once they realized they had to reflect changes at the end if player fails to save Paul, and thus the inconsistency.

This ending speaks to me more than the others, because what I imagine is every level I have played on the way here being destroyed like Area 51 As though I didn't even exist in the first place!

The problem with this ending is that we would likely make the same mistakes all over again. I felt that way about both this one and the Illuminati ending, that they would both cycle back into the same problems. You can't just start over and hope things will change, because they probably won't. The best thing to do is make things better (or at least try to) by attempting something different. I am sure all three endings were purposefully made to be not especially desirable.

Juguz Jota Pe now that’s dedication

this is the silliest ending. if you destroy all internet and phone lines then all that is going to happen is that every country will go back to communicating by long wave radio broadcasts and the internet infrastructure will be back up in a year.

I only choose this ending mostly on the concept of "F**k you and the horse you rode on"

I like to think this is the canon ending, JC ran out cackling because he just did it to be a shithead

Twitter in November 2022?

Twitter over the past few years has made me agree with this ending.

Tracer Tong : "You can track me down in Hong Kong."

2023 ... consider it

That is just a super Room 641A. It's not too far fetched.

If it was up to me it would be the ending i would choose.

He *burned* alright.

The best ending.

Funny to see this is 50 % of the canonical ending for Invisible War since JC merged with Helios AND shut down the Aquinas Router to cause a net collapse.

An AI can not "want". It behaves the way it is predefined. Helios purpose was to rule the whole world, and considering it rejected Bob and chose Denton instead means that it was telling the truth by claiming it wants to be a benevolent all-loving ruler (not to mention the part where it took complete control over Hong Kong and proved this).

this is just the best ending because it's the least bad, spares humanity from the unrealiable and incompetent rule of the illuminaty and flawed rule of a central AI, nations will be independent and not longer held as hostage by a centralized power also dont take into account invisible war, it's just the three ending merged together awkwardly

I'd say it's the worst, Tracer Tong is an idealist but is woefully naive, he thinks this will free the people but it will just make them more oppressed. History shows you don't need the internet for powerful figures (kings, prime ministers etc) to oppress their citizens. The illuminati operated long before the internet or even phones were a thing, I don't see how destroying these things will take power away from them, they'll just revert back to what they used to do. The illuminati will just change tactic and form local governments to control and communicate the old fashioned way with secret meetings (it's not like cars, trains etc have been destroyed so it's not too hard to arrange a meeting by post and then have everyone travel there). If anything the internet hinders the illuminati, corruption is exposed on the internet all the time and everyone knows about it, back in the dark ages (which Tong wants) if someone found out about some corruption he couldn't do much about it since there was no way of letting the public know, he might be able to tell a few people but the illuminati would quickly cotton on and take care of it.

How can you say AI rule would be flawed? This AI has massive amounts of information traveling through it at one time. In addition to merging with JC Denton, he knows exactly what is best for humanity. Helios has no ambition so he cannot become corrupt.

i have a crackpot take on this ending while taking a shit, looking at this from a gamer point of view this is cathartic because while this is illogical IRL, the fact that you can just take the nuclear option because of technological advancement has gone haywire practically saying "ENOUGH!" and decide to just reset everything (to a degree). A comparison to my gaming experience is when playing Soul Hackers. I play SMT3 with magic build so i naively expect that the MC in SH can use magic, only to realize it far too late in the middle point of the game and it's too far gone and no such thing as respec, so i delete the data and reset everything from scratch with knowledge of the previous attempt Just like JC destroying the epicenter of technological advancement, we rebuild with knowledge of old.

@tezmellez I know... so? ^^
