And the history of Elysium Field made perfect sense, just review the cases, everything was well thought out and fit. I'm sure even with more time, Pretty Simple would not change it.

If people do not want stories with surprises, but they want something totally predictable, let them play in looping the Industrial Area and the Financial Center, or go play CSI: Hidden Crimes, which has no surprises Thank you for this. This is exactly what I was trying to say and failed to get my point across.

I know people are disappointed in the way Elysium Fields ended. I get that. But the problem is that people are 100% upset that their theories weren't correct or that a better reveal wasn't made. But the problem is that it felt completely natural to the district's story, just not deeply satisfying. As said in the post I quoted, if given more time, the creators absolutely wouldn't have changed the end result. Giving them longer to work won't change their decisions. All it does is give them some extra time to work on things further on down the road, like making x crime scene prettier and more detailed or making y suspect a little more lifelife or something. It wouldn't be the plot details they'd "fix" because they don't see any problems with the plots they're laying out. Only the players do.

And further, I'm not even sure that the vocal people on here are the majority. For every person who was dissatisfied with the way the district ended, there may be people completely satisfied with the way it ended. I know some of those people myself. Everyone has a different opinion and above and beyond that, some people genuinely don't care to theorize. They just enjoy what they're given regardless of how satisfying it may be.

Above all else, we need to remember that it's a game that gives us many twists and turns. Some will be better than others. Some will be more predictable than others. Some will make us happier or sadder or more excited or more annoyed or more upset than others. We just have to appreciate what we're given and stop spending so much time criticizing because eventually, the game WILL end and then we won't have any new content to judge and we'll regret picking apart what we had and wish we had just enjoyed it more.
