it is, but the individual perception is pretty much the same around fans. it basically ends on a cliffhanger, lets you imagine what happens next, but it also raps up most of the loose ends in the game. it does leave some open, which is what they're talkin about i'm guessing (you have to play the game to see what i'm talking about), but rather than take away from the game, i think it is a great way to set up for a sequel
