Otacon ending vs. Meryl ending

I was just thinking about how I watched the Meryl ending before the Otacon one. I admit I was a bit weary as I was not sure if the last scene was going to be a simple 'cut & paste', if you will - giving the impression that Snake was coming onto Otacon. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.

Phew.

I prefered the Otacon ending myself, especially with Liquid, there was just something about when he stood up again.

The victor lives, and the defeated die. You know the rules.
I like the Meryl ending more, it is a hero saves the girl ending and then they get hooked up.

How do you know if they hooked up. For all we know, they were both taken away for questioning afterward and never saw each other again until MGS4...

I mean, snake is more than twice her age, and I never really saw them as "getting together".

It might have been better towards Snake's Character if he left the island alone, after another pointless slaughter and losing close people he only just met.

Sounds more like Snake's life than him ever having a successful escape.

Well, I've seen both endings multiple times, but I prefer the Meryl ending only because ~

To get the alternate Otacon ending, just submit to Ocelot's torture, then play the game as you normally would. That's all. :)

I don't prefer either. I think they are both good, although I think Stealth should have been for meryl's ending because it is harder to do.

I liked them both and it was cool to realise that is what mantis meant when he said "but I do not know if your futures lie together"

I think that both endings are a little corny in dialogue but naomi's narration is excellent, the music works totally and utterly. The whole game rocks!
"I'll tell you everything you want to know....if you come where I am, that is"
"Where are you!"
"Very close by..."
"Snake that's not master Miller!"
"CAMPBELL! You're too late!!" xD

Okay, this is possibly not a surprise but I really prefered the Otacon ending, and the kind of great friendship they have in Mgs2 proves that they have the perfect comedy dynamic of brains and know-how.

Also, taking the characters into account, there is no way Meryl and Snake would ever be happy together, even though this is more then confirmed later.

For me, it's the Otacon ending. You get the stealth camo and it's not a cheesy ending. Plus, I f**king hate Meryl. The thought of someone as amazing as Snake and some little "woe is me" type woman is just sickening.

^lol, agreed on all points. Otacon ending is infinitely better. I mentally cringed when I heard Snake say "I finally found someone else to fight for."

I prefer Meryl's ending, because it's too easy with the stealth camo (when you unlock it) and it makes it less fun.
Plus everyone survives, so it's a much happier ending! lol ^_^

Don't even think about using auto-fire, or I'll know.


.....Strange that so many people like the Otacon ending more. o_O;;;

It's not about Meryl's death, which at last was a more original ending. It's more about Snake giving up to the torture. He's SNAKE, what the hell. I just can't imagine him breaking up and letting a girl die.
