The ending to the greatest game of all time...in near perfect quality...

Conker's Bad Fur Day...the ending to a game you would never expect. It came flying right at my face like a brick, so unexpected and so poignant, contrasting with the whole game that I had grown to be attached to. All in just a day Conker's world turned upside down. He, like so many VG heroes before him, he spends the whole game trying to get home and rescue his girlfriend, and has fun doing it. He has a lot of laughs, and violence... However, at the zero hour when his girlfriend dies, and he's momentarily given the powers of a god, he's impulsive and short sighted, forgetting the whole reason for his quest, like the player does, who's just here to have fun. He's rewarded in the end, but he doesn't want fame and fortune, he just wants his lost love.

Although it all ended in tragedy, this ending set a perfect climax to Conker's story. It's quite ironic too considering Rareware's original ending to this game... The game's original ending was very dark. It involved Conker walking up to a mirror in the pub, bursting into tears, pulling out a gun and aiming it at his head. The screen would fade out, and a gunshot is heard, indicating that Conker had committed suicide. This ending was dumped because "It didn't spot much for a sequel." It makes me wonder how ironic it would have been if they had used that ending considering Rareware's demise at the mercy of Microsoft...Honestly...it would have been a good ending...but at the same time, I really liked how they did end it with Conker leaving the pub in a state of depression...he looks around...just like he did in the beginning of the game...everything connected full circle...it was beautiful...And the fact that Conker walked away in the opposite direction from that he took in the beginning of the game was also powerful. I'm not to sure which ending I would prefer...both are amazing...Just like this game is...
