I too also just finished the game, instead of going back to the "point of no return" save i get sent back to the main menu. When i click 'continue' i just go back to the credits. Am i doing something wrong? or is the game being buggy?
is what we are saying, once you finish, you finish.
I mean dont get me wrong, is an excelent game, even with all the bugs/issues, and trust me i see a lot of them:
items staying stuck on NPCS hands.
Getting block andhad to load from last checkpoint.
Voices in dialogs sometimes not working, or muted.
NPCs sometimes not mimic when they speak.
Some NPCs stucked in walls, or floors half body.
Probably more but i saw those...
The point is, i am okey with those bugs not the big deal, maybe the important ones like being stuck and you cant move, and you have to reload the game well those are kind of... "important" but is okey doesnt bother me that much, knowing we, gamers were pushing this title to release knowing the consecuences.
Actually i loved playing this game, but i felt more like it was a movie with choises, that slightly change the path, and the importance of some of the involved characters.
Still, a little empty in that side because some of the characters, you cant avoid them, so, you are not totally "free" you are just stucked on the mainline they want, sure thing you have some finals.
BTW playing it reminds me the title "late shift" is just a movie, where you make some choises...
If you ask me, they didnt had time enough to solve this, i mean half life is also like this, but half life is not an "open world"...
I mean is not "open world" if you cant go whenever you want, literally i started the game all over to make all the side quests, first of all, you must finish the first quest/path for continue... Once you are "free" to explore this... "open world" if you finish all the side quests in your zone, then you want to move forward to the city, and you cant, the game puts you back in, saying "this content locked for you, for now..".
And is not locked because i been there later finishing the questline..
So.. is not "open world" if you are restricted...
Well we have to wait some DLC i guess...
