I love how they added rocket league and firewatch into this - but got sad when i realized it replaced the minecraft and portal ending :(

[laytonspuzzle]

I really appreciate how narrator just gets physically ill when seeing an open world game

[Kirbman]

I love how every version of Stanley Parable has different games for the games ending.

It was like playing the ending for the first time all over again!! And I have so many hours in Rocket that I actually couldn't believe my eyes when It popped up

[lettuce]

him getting the firewatch story wrong is so funny as a person who is very fond of the game

[Mohmar]

Interesting game choices to replace
Since portal was easily ported due to being on Source, and Minecraft was most likely because of the old version and it's Microsoft's owned

I still can't believe this was a gmod creative game. Now look at it. A actual game.

10:34 - This is my favorite part of the narrator's dialogue in this ending. It's funny to me how he's stressfully asking Stanley to come back to where he can be reached like a lost child wandering around. And i really like the fading effect, that addition was humorous

Original: Minecraft / Portal
Ultra Deluxe: Firewatch / Rocket League

I love how they change this ending beacuse they know 90% of players start with this ending

I like that they tried to put a new spin on the games ending to attempt to make it more relevant, but in that attempt, it is not only no more relevant than before, but the direction it went doesn't work nearly as seamlessly as the original standalone game.
With the Minecraft portion of the original, the Narrator doesn't get physically sick at the idea of open world, he seems excited at the idea at first, only to become bored and disappointed during the mining trip to find Diamonds. It almost seems to go the same direction with Firewatch, yet while it certainly could have gone that way, with the narrator seeing how there is no driven direction you have to go and getting bored, he catches on much more quickly, and pales at the concept of open world games, calling it out and being thankful that he caught it before you could explore.
With the Portal portion, he gets similarly tired of the strict linearity, taking the elevator away so he doesn't have to watch you struggle to figure out more complex puzzles, leaving just a completed puzzle, himself, and you to sit and contemplate. But in removing the elevator, he opened the hole, and that's how you fall through to the gmod edition bit.
With Rocket League, the hole can't exactly be made through storytelling tricks, so it's just there. A convenience, for the sake of both giving the ball a way to disappear after the goal without breaking continuity with the typical RL goal explosion, and maintaining the gmod edition content.
Firewatch could have been made to work, just remove the part where the narrator gets sick at the idea of open world, make him get bored instead as the player walks through the forest, and it's on par with the Minecraft bit it replaced.
As for RL, though, a different game entirely should have been used, at least one where the hole in the world could have been made to work out, if not maintaining the theme of interacting with objects to recreate the depicted game's original mechanics. Could have even added a third level of Meta here, adding in the 2013 Stanley Parable, and immensely confusing the Narrator into a fit of trying to figure out what's going on, and accidentally opening up a door to nothing, and leading the player to the GMod content section at the end.

I like how they added different games to the original ending

[adsads]

I love that they added firewatch here. I thought that the new games would be more like an addition than replacement but I don't mind either way really

[azuregiant]

The Games Ending and The Memory Zone are my favourite ending, at least from what I’ve seen so far. My exploration has been pretty thorough, so not sure how much more there is.

[RightBoyKA-POW]

0:35 I'm not gonna lie to you...

That's a good looking lounge
😏😏

[Pokaroquai]

Eh, I wishing they put Portal 2 or Mirror's Edge for the Games Ending, That would be amazing...

[TheShipCritic]

I love how the narrator litteraly almost threw up bc he saw an open world game

[TheMindlessCanadian]

The fucked up part about this is that I had quite literally just finished firewatch an hour before getting this ending. I genuinely thought this game knew I had played it recently and therefore brought it up.

[adrianen]

Oh no they actually removed portal and Minecraft! Litterally unplayable

[EcraZlife]

Clearly, that sign is lying, since there's a bucket next to the blue door.
