Seriously, the ending to that game had a cliffhanger that would make Halo 2 feel inadequate. It didn't help that the company, which had promised a trilogy, went bankrupt after the game's release. Possibly one of the most confusing endings in the history of gaming will never be explained because of it. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2996 Joined: 13 Aug 2008    | Assassin's Creed's ending really disappointed me. I was sitting there, watching the events unfold, seeing all this awesome stuff, and right when my interest was peaked and I was starving for more, CREDITS. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1412 Joined: 19 Nov 2008     | One of my favorite endings was the one from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Kind of reminded me of the ending of Donnie Darko, how all of the previous events are negated through time travel. |

Wait, so the actual game doesn't matter to you as long as its a good ending? I get what you're saying about anti-climactic endings, but please verify this for me. User was banned for: The artist in thee. (Permanent) |

Best FPS ever. And the melee combats were greats! I loved the part when the nuclear missile fall just beside you, with a big ''GAME OVER''on it the it explode 2sec before the last boss try to kill you. Better yet, that didnt even end there! Comun people have a pathetic taste and this game should have got A LOT more recognition. PS: My english is also pathetic tonight. |

Don't fuck with the space shuttle, bro. Baaaaw Fallout 3.. I mean I have a perfectly fine plot device following me around that simply refuses to do his job, willingly sacrificing a life... |
Muckraker  Posts: 329 Joined: 30 Nov 2008    | Half-life 2 episode 2's ending was like a punch in the genitals. Portal had an awesome storyline. But admit it. The end of Mario was as revealing as the meaning of life. I was so shocked. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 648 Joined: 6 Feb 2008   | Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect are probably my favorite endings of this console generation. Weak ones include all of the Halo games, Gears of War (1 at least, never played 2), Dead Space, and BioShock, though BioShock wasn't as disappointing as the other two. I can't say the DMC games disappoint me because they don't have stories to begin with. And say what you want, Guitar Hero II had a great ending. You finish whatever ridiculous 8th-tier song you did last, and you're expecting some metal song for the last encore, but it's something far greater... |

The tree's name is Yggdrasill, named after that Mithos guy. Lego Island (GBC) had a disappointing ending, but then again the game wasn't that good to begin with. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 689 Joined: 16 May 2008    | The ending for Metal Gear Solid 2 bugged me, mostly because the leadup to it takes what seems like hours and the fight with Solidus is kind of broken. All you need to do is hang off the ledge, jump up, and hit him and it's a guaranteed win. The final boss from MGS3 however was fantastic. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 417 Joined: 28 May 2008   | I'll go with Fable 2 too for my most recent. I was at least expecting some semblance of a final fight, and I don't count the Shard battle as I don't believe it gace proper payoff to the story to not at least duke it out with the antagonist in some form. I'd also place Halo 2 here definitly, even if it was continued later on. You know you've hbit an Anti-climax when you are sitting controller in hand waiting for the next level and instead you get a crap one liner and end credits. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1175 Joined: 17 Jun 2008 | Ghost Recon: Desert siege. Last mission finished, no exposition, no cutscene, no nothing. Stat screen, click continue and you're at the main menu. That's it. UFO: Afterlight, this one was a real downer. A real fucking downer. After the really cool endings of the first two games, the really cool cutscenes, the developed story throughout the game, after getting to know all of your characters, after that really cool intro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vi0vEGsyFQ), and the best freaking map in the game (that you don't get to see, since all the enemies come running towards you directly, and makes you miss the rest of the map, you get a 20 second movie of one of the characters from the game standing in a big space suit and taking off his helmet. And yeah, that's almost a spoiler, but it's so bad, you're better off knowing already. And only that. Nothing more. I'm serious. There's nothing else. Not even a "good job", it's ONLY that, and the credits. No explanations, no "what happened next", no monologues, no text, nothing, nada, zip. |

Agreed, story was awesome and ending was great even with the cliffhanger. I am still hoping they will make a second one someday. FEAR ending was great. Loved how you got away and then Alma is there again i wasnt expecting it. One of the worst endings was Crysis, it was just like another Halo or KH end. Was not happy after fighting the final boss just to get that. Crysis ending was just plain bad. S |
Paperboy  Posts: 32 Joined: 20 Mar 2008  | Thief: Deadly Shadows. I love the series and the game, but the ending was just too...open. If they're not intending to continue the series, I'd rather have a concrete conclusion than some open-ended event that leaves me wondering what happens next, knowing that I'll never find the answer. Give me some closure, Eidos! |
Paperboy  Posts: 44 Joined: 21 Dec 2008  | Mario Galaxy after you get all 120 stars. I mean why did I just waste another 40 hours of my life trying to get those coins if you're just going to show me basically the same thing I saw when I got half as many stars? Yahtzee was right. You do have to be psycho to get all 120 stars, especially now that I know the ending is the same. |
Muckraker  Posts: 294 Joined: 20 Aug 2008  | Yet again, Fallout 3 and Neverwinter Nights 2 win. And a GAME-LONG anticlimax was discovering all the cutscenes in Mirror's Edge was in amateurish web-quality flash animation, which I personally could have drawn just as well. (It always make me laugh when people say that Faith was a "normal-proportioned" heroine for a change, because you only really get to see her during those scenes and for some reason her head is about twice the width of everyone elses.:) |

Oh, we're not digging this old horse up again are we? Well, it may due to my being one of the few people who enjoyed the Xen sections (even going as far as to saying they were one of my favourite parts of the game, alongside Surface Tension and Questionable Ethics) and also having not actually heard a decent explanation of why they supposedly weren't any good. As for what the Xen levels were actually about. Well, I assume that as the aliens came from Xen so the best way to wipe them out was to go to their home dimension and kill their leader. I'm guessing that was the deal with that. Or would you have rather had another 4 levels of running around science labs before blasting some totally random boss alien, like in the lame ending to Opposing Force? |

I actually kinda liked that one - "full circle" and all that, mirroring the intro of the first game. Except Garret himself is now a Keeper, and it's implied (by him using his mentor's exact words) he will train the girl like he was trained himself. He also seems content with his new role, which was all the closure I needed. But I would not have minded another game in the series! |
Paperboy  Posts: 26 Joined: 21 Dec 2008 | Absolutely agreed on FFX, MGS3 and Shadow of the Colossus - they were very well done and emotional endings. Don't forget Ico too, that had a great ending. A happy ending! Which is surprising for a Japanese game to be perfectly honest. lol Tomb Raider Underworld was quite underwhelming recently, it was a slightly anti-climactic and premature ending to a story that barely got off the ground. Assassin's Creed's ending was also quite weak; you don't find out what happened to Altair and all you get is that lab to walk around in with the creepy writing on the walls! It really needed more than that. Some old skool spoilers ahead - you have been warned! Zelda Majoras Mask - Very disappointing ending. Link never gets home again, never sees Navi or Zelda again - just way too sad after the amazing ending of Ocarina of Time. NiGHTS Into Dreams on the Sega Saturn was quite disappointing too because it was an amazing game, with brilliant gameplay but the endings were awful! I remember hating those as a kid, they felt tacked on and ultimately you didn't give a flying monkey whether Elliot and Claris were happy or not! |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 85 Joined: 17 Dec 2008  | Star Wars : The Force Unleashed. Light or 'dark' it was pathetic. Although Light had a little more going for it. Dark Side, and I use that term as loosely as possible, was absurd and whimpered out like an old whoopee cushion. Thankfully, I guess, was that it was a short run of about a day's playing. So it wasn't as much of a waste of time as others were that were mentioned here. Seriously LucasArts....just step away from Star Wars and let better people handle it... |

As was said one page back, it didn't make any sense to have your and scream in a high pitch. Now, if it were just another necromorph, the sequel is pretty much established because from that, you'll realize that there is more than one Hive Mind. Or there is a generic "bigger threat" that can be overcome with bigger guns and better tactics for the next game. And yeah, that was the least entertaining end-boss fight I've played in recent memory. Even Frank Fontaine was better than the Hive Mind. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 108 Joined: 24 Apr 2008  | Advent Rising. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. You have no idea how infuriated I was when I beat the game and only a few weeks later I heard the company went bankrupt. Pissed me off way more than the Halo 2 ending. Now we will never know what those friggin scanners were looking for. Or why they even needed to scan people in the first place. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 65 Joined: 14 Dec 2008 | Mmm....Metal Gear Solid 3 that and the endings to Chrono Trigger,all triggered by what you did in the game, rather thoughtfully done. |
Muckraker  Posts: 339 Joined: 18 Dec 2008   | The ending of Dementium: The Ward was soo disappointing I took it back to Game Stop right after I finished it. If the events in the game have no impact on the ending, then either then ending sucks or the game does. As for good endings, I'd say Hitman: Blood Money had one of the coolest and most interesting endings out of the games I've played. (If that's the one that I'm thinking of... It's the one with the white suit, if you know what I mean...) |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 675 Joined: 16 Aug 2008 | Dead Rising. You spend a fair while doing all your missions, and at the end when you think, "Oh great, here's the helicopter. Time to get out of this shithole... Wait, why is there a zombie-OH SHIIIIIT!" Yeah, and don't even get me started on overtime mode. Also, am I the only person who was totally in love with Fable 2's ending? Also, Oblivion's ending was lame, there was no real boss battle, just a sequence you watch of a dragon and something else (I can't really remember I haven't played it in a while). |

Fallout 3 really annoyed me. I could tell what they were trying to do, and I think that, if it had been executed more effectively, there was the potential for the ending to be awesome. But, in my opinion, Bethesda really didn't put enough effort into it.
