and I thought the final was pretty good, but also bad.
Care to elaborate?
As for me...I have yet to play the game (though to be honest I probably won't end up playing it), but I have heard/seen videos on the ending, and in my opinion SPOILER ALERT I liked how they killed off the main character. Not for the sake of the game itself, but for the sake of all games.
Too many times in games (and even in movies) does the hero overcome impossible feats to save the day, and it's nice to see a game that adds a bit more realism to that and goes against the "norm" of cliche things in games
