What I like about V is that you know how all the characters end up. Nothing good happens to them. It's a slowmo car crash from start to finish. It makes everything so much more interesting when you follow a cast of doomed characters.
28 years of storytelling and the final game is a melancholic story that isn't really of much importance in the grand scheme, but it hits hard all the same. I can hardly think of a more fitting way to end the series.
