Quite. The ending in this game could be summarized as getting berated by this game's version of God with Not So Fast Bucko, Failure Is The Only Option, Nice Job Breaking It Hero, with the realization dumped on the poor player's lap that he's been carrying the Idiot Ball this whole time (which is further jarring when you bear in mind that up to this point, the player character is portrayed as being EXTREMELY Genre Savvy). Seriously, read those links, and you've got the game's ending nailed. How anyone can possibly find this satisfying is beyond me.
