I just finished the game and I'm stuck in what seems to be the obligatory "okay this is all i can think about right now, i want more from the bros....this can't be it🥹" phase.

Does this phase pass? Whats the next phase? And are you all okay🥹?

To preface, I hope i've come to the right place for fucking therapy after such an experience🥹. I fucking love this game, despite it's flaws. I didn't put it down for any negative reasons, it was actually because once i got to the border, I thought everything up til then was perfect and i didn't wana leave Away, so I wasn't emotionally ready. That was 2 years ago.

This past week, I've blazed through all 5 eps, doing a low morality and high brotherhood ending because I wanted to keep them TOGETHER.

I got the brotherhood ending and as much as I loved the bros staying together in this ending (and I really do, it has me torn), the fact that they are fugitive criminals now still doesn't sit right with me (yes, even though that was the path i set them on with my choices). But, i couldn't tell if they were both truly happy in that moment sitting on the beach. Sure, they had their arms round one another and they looked at peace, but are they internally at peace? I guess we'll never know.

I didn't feel much the emotion i expected to feel from this ending, and I wasn't satisfied and I needed more and so i couldn't help but watch the lone wolf ending on YT as well as the parting ways ending.

Lone wolf ending, Daniel looked like a badass but at what cost?, I broke when it showed sean's grave, and daniel put that wolf picture on it. Lone wolf perhaps has the most hypothetical sequel potential with the path daniel's on, but it was emotionally heavy and daniel genuinely is LONELY, and carrying trauma. In terms of emotions, this one hit hardest in a heartbreaking way.

Then there's the parting ways and I think, this ending might be the one i prefer most, purely because it seems like BOTH brothers, seem HAPPY, even if they are separated, sean's happy with finn, daniel is besties with his neighbour captain spirit, karen's reconnected with claire and stephen, he's having a normal childhood where he even saved a school bus it looked like. Then the camera cuts to the wolf brothers carving on the tree in the backyard, and i fucking broke. It was fucking beautiful. It's my headcanon that the bros meet up again, somehow following this ending. The only negatives here, are the fans who want these brothers together, we don't get that here sadly, and also, no lyla. the phone call with her in ep 2 of my playthrough still haunts me, to find out how depressed she was.

I'm gana do another play through soon, with high morality, and try and get the redemption ending though from what i've heard, it's one of the least favorable endings.

Anyway I just needed to YAP about this, now that i'm offically part of the post-lis2 depression club, good times. Any thoughts, guys? what's your favorite ending? hows your recovery going?

Asking as a new player to breakpoint. i'm playing through co op with my brother on ps5 because its free on pSN, and we have both never played a ghost recon game. but we are having an insanely good time with BP and the level of customization and accessibility options, is mind blowing and a lot of the movement animations remind me of MGSV. We play on immersive mode as we wanted the "tactical mil sim" vibe rather than spongey enemies etc, and so far it's delivering.

Aside from some animation jank and bugs, we think it's really good, it's the closest thing to a co op MGSV, and we would love a new title to come out. So that leaves me wondering, it's been years since this game came out, and the bad launch press has died down, and it seems to be decent now, so why isn't this game being talked about as much?
