[i wanna be the guy]

Picked up the game and was genuinely pleased with it. Took me about 40 hours to 100% the game (trophy wise), but I was dicking around a lot too, so you could probably do it in less. While there's no real replay value once you've done 100% of everything, the time I spent was well worth it. Going into spoilers and summing up the whole game ahead so;

From the start when you jump off an airplane and free fall, meeting Zimos and and being chased by gimps in carts (who explode like vehicles when shot). Going into the zanny Tron level with the megabuster, to the awesome Luchadore fight with Killbane. Through the zombie invasion and Mayor Burt Reynolds, and ending with the Gangsters In Space mission.

The game left a truly awesome taste in my mouth that I wish could have lasted longer.

i would just like to tell you that the other ending is infinitely better and just
the perfect way to end the game

I didn't like the other ending.

Defeating Killbane just felt anticlimactic and I'd much rather have a cheesy mars mission than fight the military and their new toy.

I won't deny it had an 'epic' feeling, but it wasn't very satisfying.

I think that was the whole point though
defeating killbane wasn't supposed to be a climactic moment. The game leads you into thinking it will be, and then you get to the fight. And it's not. At all. It's not even satisfying to the boss who has no answer to pierce's question "was it worth it?" In fact he just sits there near the wreckage of the plane and killbane's corpse, depressed over how he lost even more friends through chasing a selfish goal (killing killbane seemed to be more of a personal goal than something to that he wanted to do for Johnny).

As far as the military part goes, the fight against the military and their ~fancy new toy~ didn't seem to be the big deal here. I think it was more about the Saints going "you know what? We've lost 5 friends and amazing Saints getting to this point and these assholes are STILL trying to kill us? Fuck them!"
So you do; in fact, you fuck them so hard that there's not a single one left. The boss at this point does something that I (and maybe I read into it too far) believe was at least subconsciously as a sort of gift for Johnny(remember his "we traded in our balls for fame" speech at the beginning): They take over the city. And they don't just take over the city and call it good, they turn it into a fucking city-state. They made that place their own fucking country and got the Saints the respect that they hd been fighting for the entire game.

The way I see it, Killbane and the military were cannon fodder. The real point of this ending was to have the Saints finally do what they had been trying to do all along: avenge Johnny
