Anyway my vote goes to Prince of Persia (spoilers following)... you basically undo everything you did in the game. Except it's one step worse because now Elika's father is dead. Absolutely ridiculous ending. It'd be like the Prince unleashing the sands again after reversing time in Sand of Time. |

He made it pretty clear in the title that there were spoilers. The ending that disappointed me most was the ending to Chrono Cross. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1261 Joined: 24 Jun 2008     | I just beat Fallout 3 today ironically (I just got it a week ago)and I was so pissed that I can't beat it and go on with my life in it like in oblivion. I had to load a save and that just always sucks. |

Paperboy Posts: 23 Joined: 8 Jan 2009   | On Chrono Cross, I certainly hope you got the "good" ending at least. The good ending at least has some excellent cinematics, if not closure. But the bad ending is downright awful. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 558 Joined: 5 Feb 2008  | I agree with Fable 2. For god's sake, I spent the whole game buffing out my character in hopes for an epic showdown, but it never came! It WOULD have been funny if I shot Lucien while he was talking (not a lot of games allow you to interrupt a villain in the middle of his monologue) and THEN comes back out as any giant thing where it would force all four heroes to work together to take down, but no, nothing. In fact, |

Paperboy  Posts: 25 Joined: 24 Dec 2008   | Probably assassins creed. It all got a bit too weird in the last level and then ended far too abruptly. I also think that the twist of your mentor (or whatever) being the villain would have been a bit less predictable if they HADN'T given him long black robes, a scar and a beard, those things just scream 'EVIL BASTARD!!!' |

I expected some kind of epic showdown. But then I get there, whip out a music box and that's the fight. Walk up and press a button. Then, in an attempt to add some drama to the ending I pulled out my rifle for the final exposition only to accidentally shoot the guy in the face before he made a dramatic final speech. The only good part is the choice. It's interesting that they throw you for a loop by giving you the choice to resurrect your sister (and others) in what I had always assumed would be the good ending, or to save all the nameless guys who died building the spire. No choice would leave me satisfied that I was the good guy by the end. At least they have the purely selfish choice if I decide to play the game again as a jerkbag. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 163 Joined: 7 Jan 2009    | Ogre Battle 64, just to be different Speaking of being different, that game was supposed to have 30-some odd endings. I only got one. The same damn ending no matter what I did. And it wasn't even a good ending. Basically, "You're a great hero, but you think that you have to solve problems with violence, so we are banishing you from the kingdom. And in about a year, the kingdom you have worked so hard to save will be hammered into rubble from the neighboring barbarian kingdoms." Only way to solve problems is with violence? What the deuce? The game isn't called Ogre Peace Treaty! |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 798 Joined: 28 Dec 2008   | My vote goes to Fallout 3 and Bioshock. Seriously though, I loved Bioshock and liked the final boss fight against Fontaine, even if it was incredibly easy. Then all the big talk of "choice" and the "morality" was washed away in the 30 second clip that followed. Oh and by the way, those clips were the two most abrupt and opposite endings I've ever seen. Imagine my surprise when after harvesting one Little Sister and saving the rest I got the ending where I unleash destruction on the world. And on the replay I am the hero of the Little Sisters despite the fact that I killed so many people I should be put in an asylum. However, I blame this on the publishers, and on the higher-ups, since the choice was made by them. Bioshock would have had a perfectly good ending had it not been for pressure on Ken Levine's design team to create multiple endings. So shame on you! However Fallout 3's was just plain embarrassing. |

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is considered one of the worst games ever, so a bad ending to it was fitting. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 54 Joined: 28 Jul 2008   | I'll have to agree with Bioshock. Good lord, I am not the most avid gamer (I have to go to college and work and all that fun junk), and when I finished it, I was like "what the hell?" I mean, the last boss fight I could of done while building a soapbox derby car for crying out loud! I probably wouldn't of gotten through that last fight anyway else, but I did because I'm a terrible gamer and I know this. I suck at games, but I love playing the levels that I can get through. EXAMPLE: I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN PAST THE FIRST PLANET IN MASS EFFECT. I SUCK. HARD. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 87 Joined: 23 Dec 2008  | Fable 2 is a strong candidate for me as well. I am only somewhat looking forward to Knothole Island just so I feel like I get a bit more time with the game. If they don't have any more DLC after that...then it's getting traded. The boss scene I guess was the big triangle at the end, but it wasn't that big of a fight. For me the other dissapointment was the fact that if you didn't revive your dog you couldn't finish some of the side missions. For that reason I played it twice just to get Fido back. However it just felt like an empty ending both times. My other choice though would be Halo 2. I felt like it was just all play and no story, and I like story telling in my games. When I got to the ending I thought "that's it, what a jip?" |
Beat Writer  Posts: 144 Joined: 3 Jan 2009 | Deus Ex's "join the Illuminati" ending. Morgan Everrett was planning on putting the world through the exact same B.S. that Page and Majestic 12 did, only without guns. (The Illuminati's resources are spread far and wide; politicians, government agencies, armies and the like) Fortunately, it was deemed non-canon by Invisible War. (One of the few things it did right.) *EDIT* But, then again, I don't think I've played a new game in about 3 years. (Too cheap for a 7th gen console and all that.) |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 716 Joined: 21 Feb 2008  | Prince of Persia. I fought the final boss, saw the preliminary credits, then said "ok, game over... what? I'm still playing? WTF?" Then, in two minutes, I undid 12 hours of playing for one person. She even says "Why?". I agree. Pointless, aggravating ending. |

There's nothing forcing you to use that mask. It's just a little reward for collecting all the other masks. On-topic, Neverwinter Nights 2. |

What? I loved the COD 4 ending. It gave me a sense of satisfaction shooting him in the head after he executed Gaz and killed the rest of the squad. If anything im disappointed with Halo 3. For an event that would save countless lives and was such a pivotal event for the galaxy, it didn't feel as epic. |

On the Record  Posts: 5674 Joined: 2 Dec 2007    | Another vote for Fable 2. Not because I killed the guy with a single shot from my rifle, oh no. I actually loved that. It was because the end was so dissatisfying and left me clutching the controller waiting for the credits to end. It was a "So, what? What happens now?" type ending. All my hard work for naught it seemed like. |

Sweet mother o' mercy, I honestly thought I was the only person to ever play that game. It takes a game of truly amazing quality to survive the first 12-15 hours of gameplay being more or less a dream. Thank god it really was one (even if the controls feel shocking by today's standards, and I never managed to do a wall-run once). Plus I never finished it thanks to the room that vomits enemies until you die or boredom or, more likely, several alien fists to the faceparts. |

Even though you were obviously sarcastic, I'd actually have to agree with you there. I mean, I know the focus of LBP isn't the story at all, but I laughed so hard at how horrible the ending was :D |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 578 Joined: 20 Dec 2008    | Metal Gear Solid 4. It's not a bad ending at all, but it does feel anticlimactic because of the cutscene-heavy epilogue and refusal to kill off the game's characters. It manages to be a good ending, but it's not what you expected for better and for worse. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 100 Joined: 8 Jan 2009 | Fable 2 really just made me sad. I liked the fact that there was no nice convenient way to achieve everything for the people who play on the good side. If I actually cared I might go back through to get the ending that brings everyone back, but I don't. Fallout 3 felt appropriate for its really depressing tone and message, war never ends, no matter how many awesome big gun totting chicks you throw at it. |

I think Fable 2 has a pretty pathetic ending. I pulled pints, chopped wood and invested in houses and shit to buy decent weapons and such, and then a shitty music box does all the work defeating Lucien then I can choose to put a bullet in his head or let Reaver shoot him.
But Far-Cry 2 and Fallout 3 take home the gold for one similar trait. Self sacrificial suicide... yeah Id rather not... especially for the noble cause of water as in Fallout 3.
