    Eh. I am a huge fan of “one last gunfight” stories but video games rarely ever pull those off and I triply don’t expect Ubi to do it. It is inherently a subversion of the power fantasy and it says a lot that the most famous example (MGS4) turned into a full on macho power fantasy by the end. Off the top of my head, the only one that even tried was LAD: Infinite Wealth and that still screwed it up with the post credits.

    So it basically just leaves you with a sad and depressing reminder of aging.

    Nah. I already don’t think the Wildlands mission was good, but let’s remember Sam with the VERY underrated Conviction.
