So I was watching this and what exactly is the reason the player should leave the room and actually start playing the game?

I wish more games did this, I remember a PS1 RPG where if you beat a near impossible boss you get an alternative ending...

Just watched this, really cool. I wish this was the canon ending 
In fact, if only they went through the effort and let you continue - talk it out with Min, join him...and if felt like it, help him eradicate the resistance. How cool would that be dammit.
Oh and Panjabi MC in credits...so awesome. Haven't heard that in years. Just watched the video, the black guy with a cigar always cracks me up. Enjoying himself so much

To be honest this video just made me way more interested in Far Cry 4 than I would have ever been. I hadn't even thought about getting the game, but this was clever enough to make me want to look into it.
I guess I'm a puppet to Ubisoft.

They'll hate it since everyone will have the same damn time!
I don't even know how warped your view must be to come to this sort of conclusion. Can't really have more spoiler warnings than this.
You'll miss it 100%.

I can't say that I expected that at all. Wow.
Wario Land 2 did a similar thing where
your first objective is to wake up and turn off an alarm clock so Wario can save his castle from a pirate invasion. If you stay asleep for a few minutes the invasion happens without a hitch,the pirates kick Wario out, and you go down an alternate set of levels where you have to take Warios castle back and you skip the main quest.

Not the second one
I saw it years ago and I'm not even entirely sure which genre or system the game is on (pretty sure it's a JRPG though, and probably on PS1), but I remember seeing another game do something very similar. Basically, at the beginning of the game you can choose to not start your quest, and a sad sounding song plays while text boxes describe all the things you didn't do because you never started your quest, and the protagonist just lived a boring and normal life.
If anybody knows which game I'm talking about, I'd love to know, but my description is kind of vague so I'm not too optimistic that'll happen.

Yeah nvm, didn't see it.
I think the game has a few secret trophies. This might be one of them.
That was really clever, another game who had an option to end the game way earlier than intended was Rayman 2.
After defeating Jano he tells you if you want to go for all his gold. If you choose for "yes" you'll end up fat, lonely and rich on a small island in the middle of nowhere and the game ends there.

In the credits.
Thanks.
I figured it would have been mentioned, but without remembering the name at all nothing popped out at me while reading through the thread.
Oh, just watched the video. Thought maybe his music was part of the actual game or something lol.
Still, Jogi is kickass. Good addition to the credits haha

i wouldn't say its the greatest but its definitely a really cool easter eggs. wish more games did stuff like this.
Just watched this. Really cool! It's even better that it's not just an abrupt "The End." You apparently learn huge plot details that I imagine would only be revealed to you slowly over the course of the normal game.
It would be pretty funny if someone encountered this ending by accident.

HOLY SHIT.
This alone might make me buy the game so I can just do this and remove it from my backlog ASAP. Here's hoping it turns out to be the "Canon Ending".

I kinda did it by accident. It was rather hilarious.
I started the game and watched the cutscene for a bit. After a while I thought "yeah yeah, setting up the bad guy, already seen it in the trailers" and it kept going, so I thought I'd go make a cup of tea and found myself side tracked for about 20 minutes. When I came back to the game
I was pretty confused for a minute.

I was in the room with my mothers ashes ready to be put aside Min's daughters (didn't know at the time). I thought it was just the start of the game. So I did it, Min said "Let's have some fun" then the credits rolled.
