Yeah, I backed up and kept playing and got to the end... such as it is. Is there eventually an actual ending to the game, or do you just get the chance to catch up on any research you missed? Because hoping for a real ending is the only reason I kept playing; I don't really care about the medals, I'd invested a lot of time into the game and wanted a conclusion. If there's more to come at some point by random trigger, I'll pick it back up again.
Well, the story stuff ends when you take the day 121/123 log. You take a look at the objectives after that, and it says "well, this was stupid and pointless lol" (not verbatim obviously). IMO, the real good meat of the story ends after you get all the Alpha Tapes and Notes, and when the protagonist gets the Human Meat.
So basically, there's no payoff ending where the specimens break loose, or someone finds the bunker, or anything like that. That's really kind of disappointing. I would have hoped that after, say, last log + 100% completion + 50 actions (or something) there'd be a payoff. Open endings are fine, but I don't like being left to play one. I mean, I sunk 6 hours into the game, staying up until 3:30 in the morning, hoping for closure at the end, and didn't get any. That sucks.
Not that I think you're responsible for it or anything, I'm just venting. Even a message on the screen that says "you're done the story, now you can keep playing if you don't have 100% completion or if you want to" would have sufficed. Bummer.
