Ending #27
Bastion
PC / Steam
Developer: Supergiant Games
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive
Release: 2011
I have my wife to thank for showing me this amazing game. I probably wouldn't have played it so soon and left it in a long list of "...To Play" games that already fills my Steam library. Steam makes it too easy to buy games and for a good price to boot....but this isn't about Steam...
Bastion is an amazing game, I haven't fallen in love with such a game in a very long time. Granted, I love video games and dozens of great titles have come out since I started playing them, but this game has elevated itself into my personal spotlight of top ten greatest. I'll probably have to kick out one of my stragglers like Suikoden or such, but Bastion definitively deserves a solid spot on my top ten. That's serious stuff since I never change that list. The stone tablets in my game room will have to be chiseled again out of the finest marble and a new ascent up Mt. Sinai shall be undertaken.
This should be the poster child for action role playing, Amazing graphics, colorful settings, wonderful music, tight gameplay; the list of accolades this game deserves is amazing.
The story is told through narration by gravely voiced character named Rucks. It's never overbearing and it will never get old. The narrative sets the pace of the story and gives insights to each area, a candid look into the thoughts and emotions of the hero, and slowly weaves an ever subtle climax. By the end, you are hanging on to every word the man has to say. The whole experience is punctuated by gripping music and a wonderful cast of characters.
To really understand this ending you have to play the game. Without giving away the plot intricacies, Bastion reveals the culmination of war between two cultures, those who live in the sky and those who live underground. The tale is Aesopian in flavor and will leave one to question the follies of man and the lengths he will take to destroy his brother.
If I rated my games on this list Bastion would easily get a 10/10 as it is one of the best games of 2011. Everyone should pick it up and play it. I'm glad my wife insisted I play this classic.

When the enemy respects you so much for picking up one of their wounded kin that they themselves struck down, to the point where the one person who attacks you out of line is beaten down. Powerful.

one of the most beautiful moments in video game imo

I always saved Zulf because you can't blame a man for what he does in the depths of pain. Zulf lost everything that he loved and cared about and he needed someone to blame and the people of The Bastion were easy targets because most of them were the last Caelondians. In his mind the Caelondians took everything from him and they were solely to blame for everything that happened even though that wasn't the case. I also always chose the evacuation ending because you have to move forward no matter how shitty the past is... You got to move forward and make the world better than it was before no matter how much you want to go back and change things. Leave the past in the past and move toward the future... Fight for a better tomorrow... Always.

+Phabiann De Carvalho I always chose the restauration, for the life, for the people, for the animals. The true purpose of the Bastion. Forgive my writing, im from Argentina.

@VimeC 8 лет назад

+Phabiann De Carvalho I disagree; you can blame a man for this. But I saved Zulf because I forgive him.

I chose evacuate because over the course of the game, you gain a fondness for the support cast. The idea of undoing this friendship caused me more distress than the idea of the world not being healed. Doesn't stop the ending being bittersweet regardless.

@pixair 10 лет назад

I love this ending, so glad it was the one I picked during my playthrough. In a way, it feels like accepting responsibility for the calamity more than restoring the past does.

@derenathor 10 лет назад

Me too. I like to think that's why they made the choice in the first place, intending this one to feel like the right one. This ending made me feel accomplished.

@tylertheultimatebadass87 8 лет назад

Zulf might have been a fool, but his heart was in the right place. He did what he though was best for his people, although it only brought them more grief. He didn't deserve to die for that; He deserved to be rescued.

@battlewormy 7 лет назад

Did you do restoration or evacuate

@johnpaulkeller5450 10 лет назад

I feel this is the most powerful of the ending choices. I feel the closing song has more weight here than in the other version. Also seeing Zia's face in the "good" ending just broke my heart. At Least here it's a good sad rather than a sad that makes you contemplate if you made a mistake.

@SuperHipsterGamer 9 лет назад

I saw a video contemplating that the Bastion is actually a story about a failed relationship and the calamity is the symbol of how earth-shattering a bad break up sometimes can be.

@valeritsop 9 лет назад

Snobby Gamer Hell it's a spot on theory, I never thought about it, but when making the last decisions I was contemplating my own failed relationship that I couldn't or still cant'l let go, I saved Zulf and made the evacuation, and the comparison you mention is really accurate now that I think about it

@washh_it705 8 лет назад

+John Paul Keller (The Lord of Dino4) I just realized that Rucks dies in this ending. T_T

@Numguk 10 лет назад

Never had a game made me chock up like I did with the Evacuation Ending with Zulf. It's also kinda funny how Ruks tries to project the kid as him, but the kid comes back with all sorts of surprises.

@valeritsop 9 лет назад

Really this ending is not only the most powerful of the game in my opinion but also one of the best of other ending, nowadays you're normally saving the universe and being the hero honorably destroying evil guys from the government or religious cults only just choosing to be good or evil, or with which girl to stay at the end. But here there no ending to be considered bad or good, and this particular one is really powerful, forgiveness is something often forgotten nowadays, and when even the enemies stop attacking... just powerful...

Jet Hunter It just gives me chills to the point of where I'm on the verge of tears

@moomimi 7 лет назад

Most jprgs/wrpgs doesn't show the side of the antagonists and why they're evil in the first place. Well, being just evil? no sympathy what so ever. Don't even get me started with grinding/killing innocent monsters when you're the so called "hero" that will save mankind. Pretty much most jrpgs are shallow with their beastiary and antagonists.

This is one of the most powerful endings in gaming history.

@vivavaldez87 3 года назад

That's a bit of an overstatement. I did like how the Ura stood down though. That was a pretty strong ending sequence.

@psychopomp4135 Месяц назад

It will always be the best one to me.

@axesaxeofaxeness737 10 лет назад

Best game of the decade. Best song of the year.

@FakeHero9 11 лет назад

The best picture is the one where Zulf is cooking. It feels like he regrets what he did, plus there's the squirt which is so cute

@IllusionistsBane 2 года назад

I feel this is the good ending. If I go by what's said in the New Game +, I feel that the Restoration Ending just loops over to the beginning of the game.

@mmamackela284 3 года назад

Kid did everything mostly without sleep, he earned a bit of rest. (he passed out a little)

@PokemonFanRoblox 9 лет назад

Even the little pets you get can be lovable in this game, best storytelling EVER.

@user-ro5cn8ih5o 7 лет назад

i have beaten thia game a dozen of times and cant get enough... simply a masterpiece..

@Gianno_ 10 лет назад

I wish the bastion could restore in a different way. Instead of going back in time it would just create a new world over the calamity.

@vivavaldez87 3 года назад

I've seen enough films like Predestination, Looper, Back to the Future, Interstellar, Terminator and Arrival. Rucks is the Kid's name. Rucks.

@anderesstrider256 Год назад

Well, that's the happy ending. Calamity is in the hearts of men, you can't undo it, just make it happen later

@AlluMan96 6 лет назад

It feels a bit odd that the choice for multiple endings even exists in this story. I finished the game going with the restoration ending, because when the chance is provided, there's a part of me that just thinks that's the right thing to do, but the option simply existing feels like a hole in the overall narrative of Bastion. The whole theme of the story is adaption. From the Bastion being put together to the Ura wasting their time compounding on the past, the whole story is wrapped around the message of "What's done is done, it's how we move on that matters" and this ending is beautiful at wrapping that story up. It's a nice bookend to the whole narrative. The Restoration ending feels like an ending that belongs to a wholly different story. Like, the core idea the story is based on doesn't support and is in fact counter-intuitive to the idea of the Restoration ending, which is about compounding upon the past and dwelling on fixing it instead of coping with reality.

@luminozero 6 лет назад

Exactly the point. When faced with pain and sorrow, do you long for the way things were before, or press on to a better future? The Evacuation ending is the representation of finally being able to leave the past behind.

@sawyerharris3721 2 года назад

That’s what is suggested in that ending, actually. It’s implied to be something that just keeps inevitably looping back until you’re able to let go.

I KILLED THE FUCKING SQUIRT :( IM SO FUCKING UNHAPPY WHAT THE FUCK (crying)

@twistedfoot6808 4 года назад

This is actually the good ending. In the other ending the calamity just happens all over again. Rucks talks about it on the island with the final shard. He says there is nothing to prevent the calamity from happening again. Also when you start up a new game + after doing the restoration ending you can hear “See you next time” or something like that. He also said that at the end of the restoration ending. This means that time literally looped. So if restore the world the calamity happens over and over again in an infinite loop.

@lucaomeri8730 4 года назад

If I remember corectly, he says "maybe I'll se ya.... in the next one" at the end of the restoration ending: this could mean that either he knows that some tiny bits of the past will change, creating a world without calamity, and he hopes to see the kid there, or that he knows that nothing will change enough to prevemt the calamity and he is ready to live in a loop, I like the former most because I find it more fitting for him

@alexhurt9950 11 лет назад

I like this game.... its sad and nice.

@Alknix 3 года назад

The only thing better is if one of those ending slides showed them making peace with the Ura and inviting them to join them.

@moomimi 7 лет назад

Made me fucking cry playing this sht fcking hell Zulf

@linksh0t263 3 года назад

Zia’s voice acting was rather disappointing, compared to the narrator. She sounded so casual explaining the ultimatum the Kid needed to face, as if the fate of the world wasn’t at stake lol

@jamesbrice3267 2 года назад

This may seem like the selfish ending but I think the restoration would have just created a timeloop with the same bastards making the same decision.

@kirbyslayer20 Год назад

I like to see the true ending as first restoration then evacuation. You choose to restore caelondia because rucks told you to, and he hints you might never forget what you did for the bastion even with the restoration. So thats when new game+ comes in, the calamity still happened. Nothing changed. So you go through the entire game all over again and when you reach the end this time you choose evacuation, because the kid knows the calamity will loop if he restores caelondia. And we get evactuation as the final ending.

@Drakon_Minaka 9 лет назад

Why did the enemies stop firing? Honor or....?

@RegularAussieBrony 9 лет назад

Pretty much, the fact that he was putting his life on the line for an ura I'm fairly certain

@Numguk 9 лет назад

Poop Chute Not only that, but also intentionally disarmed himself and was willing to take all their slings and arrows just for his sake.

@authentic6825 8 лет назад

+Drakon “Grimm” Minaka I like to think that it's poetic that it's not explained why they don't continue attacking

@ApexGale 7 лет назад

I know I'm a year late, but look at it this way. The Ura did nothing but attack. Even Zulf turned on you, betrayed you, and the Ura struck him down even though he was one of their kind. And then the Kid comes in, and instead of abandoning Zulf and taking the battering ram with him to escape, he abandons the one thing that could have guaranteed his escape and picks up Zulf's body instead, intending to save him. The Ura had seen so much bloodshed that they were shocked to see a Caelondian abandon his guarantee of leaving just to save an Ura. They had so much respect that when one Ura started firing again, they quickly beat him down.

@ankhphoenix5736 7 лет назад

It's obtained from starting New Game Plus on a game, but you had to have purchased the game via Steam.

@Nightfurygaming247 6 лет назад

i pefer this ending but i picked the other one ;(

@Barsee23 7 лет назад

why not just pick the battering ram up, clear out the enemies, then go back and pick up zulf to take home?

@SacridFire 5 лет назад

Likely because the time it would take you to take down all the ura in your way would be too long to save Zulf. Keep in mind he’d been beaten to hell before the kid showed up.
