yeah, and then there are mind games, fight club and if you recall, there are quite a few games and other films with a similar theme. from bioshock games for example

Well, everyone watched the fight club and mind games. But people may not know about Pandorum) + there is still a cool film - the island of the damned

The endings are interesting of course ... But I think the ending is acceptable for me when Konrad lowered his weapon in the epilogue and left Dubai. And to shoot or try to shoot my rescuers (already two endings) I think like a pig. Why?

Rebzya, do your partners die anyway?

The endings are great. There is some understatement as was the case with the mass effect, but here it is even very good. And thank God that there are no patterns here: they say there is a cool main character who saved everyone and everyone, and in the end he flew on a pony to the candy country carrying good and a rainbow along the ground.

1 beginning-4 end. One reminded "Fight Club", which pleased me more than others, although it was disclosed in advance.

the game resembles the movie "Apocalypse Now"

I played this game for a long time, about 8 hours, but I played on the 3rd difficulty level, maybe because of this it seemed to me long and tedious, but in episodes 14 and 15 I scored and turned on the easy one to find out how it would end. I will not say that the game is downright class, for me at one time, but the endings, and the whole plot, yes, impressed.

And what about the endings of the unsaid? Unless in the plot itself there are some points to which you want to know a detailed answer (there are a couple of illogical scenes)

thewitcher123 is absolutely correct. It was on this film that the scriptwriters of the game relied and did not directly hide it. There is a little more from "Platoon". It's strange that no one noticed this. Next on the similarity was "Universal Soldier" with his hero Andrew Scott, who was simply fucking played by Lundgren. Looks like young people do not look classics. But "Fight Club" it rather consists of borrowings.

people do not understand why I do not have an epilogue? How does it start after the credits?

After the credits.
By the way, who checked the difference between not shooting and shooting in both cases, it seems like he's dead.

Thanks Botponevole, dude, and there is no difference, but I have already tried 3 endings, but what if you don't fire white phosphorus at people? by the way, if you don't shoot, then it's illogical, what did he die then, who shot him, if Konrad was an illusion

There is just all the salt - either the GG commits suicide out of guilt (just like Konrad), or continues to live with guilt.

p / s White phosphorus in any case will have to shoot, otherwise this mission will not be completed, since soldiers will appear there indefinitely.

if you do not shoot, I think the point is that he, as it were, did not cope with this pressure, he stupidly broke down and shot himself. and if you shoot yourself deliberately, then he seemed to understand what he had done and did not want to live with it

I didn't write, but I'll throw in:

In short, the essence is this. Colonel Konrad went nuts himself (either in Afghanistan or already in Dubai) and, maintaining order, crossed all borders, severely punished dissenting officers, shot civilians for the slightest disobedience (and not only shot them), he explained all this by the fact that otherwise it would be impossible to maintain order and thereby ensuring the survival of these 5 thousand civilians and the 33rd himself.
The CIA was sent to hide the traces of the atrocities of American soldiers from the world community.
GG companions really had a mission to locate / evacuate the colonel and the survivors.
The CIA did not aggro on the GG, the rebels / survivors of Dubai, for whom any soldier in American uniform was the embodiment of evil after what they suffered from Konrad with his 33rd battalion, aggroed.
By the time of the game, the 33rd battalion had already been without command for a long time and only followed the last testament of Konrad, which he left before shooting himself: to hold on to themselves and maintain order at any cost.
The CIA had a plan how to bury all this chaos with the ends - the destruction of water supplies, after which in a few days there would be no living witness to what
happened. In this plan, they deftly lured the GG, who had already flown off the coils, who thought that they would not destroy the water, but would only resist and force the 33rd and Konrad to surrender.
GG went crazy after phosphorus, or even earlier. All the blame for his crimes he shifted to Konrad.
His comrades could not seriously question his actions, because he did not give a serious reason.
They did not see the absence of batteries in the radio, and at the moment with two corpses there was an ambush.
In fact, the GG killed the remnants of the 33rd battalion, personally burned several dozen civilians and ensured the rest of the slow death of thirst.

Yes, and about the endings, the whole question is, are you ready to admit that it is thanks to you that the pitiful handful of survivors, whom Konrad, at the cost of horrific cruelty and hardship, managed, if not to save, then at least not let die, will die out in a few days.
If you are ready or not sure - a bullet in the head.
If you intend to entertain yourself with illusions - a bullet in the remnants of a healthy mind and either death on the streets of Dubai later,
or the rest of your life in a hospital for such cases.

But what is interesting to me is how long the evacuation went after him, 3 months or what? since his beard has grown so frail? sort of like helicopters exist and all that!

it seems to me that GG went crazy before the mission with phosphorus ... when at the end of the flashbacks they show ... he recalls the choice-murder of two people, a thief and a soldier ... and they show that he was already looking stupidly at some corpses hanged, and partners bazaar what kind of thing he slows down, well, and other moments, for example, with a radio ...

Two hanging corpses were already after the mission with phosphorus.
