Bad Video Game Endings.

[littlelacysurprisepageant]

Ok, I'm just going to say that Red Dead Redemption was simply astonishing. It has one of the best video game endings I've seen for quite a long time. Well played RockStar, well played indeed.

OT: I believe someone here mentioned Fable 2.

Well, you gotta be wary in a thread called "Video Game Endings".

Anyway, Red Dead Redemption:

Spoiler

Great ending, but the part I didn't like is now I'm freaking Jack Marston instead of John.

YOU WIN VICTORY PIE

i'm gonna have to say shenmue 2...don't remember a whole lot (been a few years)...i just remember doin a whole bunch of shit in a cave, thinking things are just getting good, then walk down a path for like ten minutes and fuckin bickety-BAM! credits roll....was like..wait...wtf? and now we'll probably never know how the whole thing ends *sigh*

 

[TheHappo]

Gears 2 was terrible.

 

[Roadface]

I've heard Fallout 3 has a TERRIBLE ending. I haven't played it much so I wouldn't know.

 

[fishfart]

Honestly I think a lot of video game endings are bad. There's only a handful of game endings that stick out in my mind. I suppose the most recent 'bad' ending I've endured would be Arkham Asylum.

Modern Warfare 2.

Spoiler

We took down the man who is not nearly as dangerous as our main target, I guess it's time for us to go after Makarov now, right gu-

[HEADING=1]THE END![/HEADING]​

Yeah, that irritated me as well. It made me think that the game was going to continue on. I would've switched the two characters around so that he survives and the other one died. I think they would then be able to create a better sequel with the surviving character manipulating things to work out evil...I guess. Also, the other two endings to Bioshock were somewhat disappointing, especially in comparison to the care put into the "Good" ending.

 

[AWAR]

The dark side ending in Kotor 2. It made no goddamn sense.

^that

Also MW2 because I don't think I'm going to buy its sequel.

 

[iFail69]

FFX-2... anyone who has played FFX all the way through will know that the perfect ending to FFX-2 (100% completion) is complete and utter bullshit

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Fable 2, FFX, Far Cry 2 and many many more. There are so many bad endings out there. Also I know it sasy this an endings thread but saying the game name will suffice and if you want to go into details you really should use spoiler tags.

You sly dog, claiming FFX has a bad ending. Good one, now the jokes over and you have to accept that X had an at least decent ending.

No FFX had an awful ending that left it open for a shitty spin off sequel with few redeeming qualities. I might accept it as alright if it didn't spawn that awful game.

It didn't leave it open. They just felt the need to make a sequel.

I think FFX-2 is colouring your view of FFX.

Well I hated the FFX ending before FFX-2 and I also hated the sphere grid system and personally thought the game was overall not the best FF. Also it did leave it open with the fact that the Aeons were gone but the Machina was still around and Tidus was seen did leave it open.

We're all about the ending here. I never found it open at all. Sin was gone, Tidus was gone, Auron was gone and everyone was a whole lot closer together. The ending was magnificent, in my eyes.

Yes and this is why this is pointless it was good in your eyes and gave you closure it gave me none and I found it awful that is my opinion on it. If you think it was good fair enough but I thought it was atrocious which is my opinion on it. I am allowed to have an opinion on it. Doesn't make mine or yours wrong. I can see a sliver of merit in it but that is it. I did not think overall the ending justified the game and was very disappointed in it and thought the scene with Tidus in the ocean was very pointless and left it open because it looked like Bikanel or Besaid.

I appreciate that you liked it and your take on it but I am of the complete opposite opinion.

I can't accept your opinion, mate. I respect that you have one but just...


I'm not seeing how that's open.

Also, about your point earlier. Why do machina matter?

Machina matters because a massive power vacuum is created from the fall of their whole religion basically say that machina is bad yet they find out that that is basically bull. There are a lot of question left as to what actually happens when the religion of whole world that basically dictated their whole being collapses. Which goes back to machina being important basically showing the Al Bhed as being right that it wasn't all that bad in moderation.

Also to go back to the ocean thingy it basically looks like Tidus has been reborn and is left outside Besaid.

You even play it? It had the best combat in the series (and still does). The story was garbage, but it was fun. Can't ask for much more. I had more fun with that game than FF12 or FF13.

OT: Worst Ending was Fable 2. Easy.

The combat being the few redeeming qualities and I personally thought that the story was complete and utter bullshit and ruined a potentially good game.

This is an easy one guys, Fable 2 definitely had the most anti-climactic ending of any video game.

After getting all the skills and spells and propertah and just yeah everything... then BANGSHOOTFACELAWL kthxbai

Seriously... Da fuck?

This. I mean, having a villain getting plastered in the middle of a monologue is the kind of thing that you and your friends joke about. "How funny would it be if somebody just shot him in the face. Totally ruined his melodramatic moment. Hilarious!" But when they make that piss-weak joke the supposed climactic ending of a game that, let's be kind, didn't exactly hold itself up through it's gameplay, it just reeked of laziness. Next time put a little more effort into the gameplay and story than the fucking interactive dynamic town simulator Mr Molyneux.

 

[SamFancyPants252]

I must say that Oblivion's ending is just bad.
You get to Bruma with your 'allied army' and find it's no more than 7 men with sticks and poles, then go inside the (suitably large) final gate, do same old same old find and destroy stuff, then come out to find 3 men clapping, the old guy dead and Martin still concerned. You get to Imperial city, have to WALK UNDER the final boss (not even touching him) and watch a FUCKING CUTSCENE and then it ends.
the last thing I did in the main quest was walk between Mehrunes Dagon's legs. Bravo.

What do you mean? The final boss killed my so much!!!


OT: Batman: Arkham Asylum had another one of the most anticlimactic final bosses EVER.

I am talking about Fable 2 not Fable 1, you do not even actually fight Lucien in Fable 2.

Perhaps I should elaborate on my statement: I meant that Fable 2's "boss" killed my soul. I suppose I should've been clearer on that, but I've found that logical thinking has been difficult since my soul was murdered.

Work ya damn nag!

What the f**k does that mean? It annoys me so much!

Anyways, the worst game ending for me was Halo 3: ODST. It ended so suddenly, I literally thought I was half way through the game. You never find out what happens to them!

 

[Vrex360]

That is true, like seriously for all the buildup that it gets to the final boss fight ends so quickly and everything just quickly gets resolved hastily in about five minutes.

It's strange though, because I actually recall the first one being very climactic, in mood at least not neccecarily in actual boss fight.

Ok that makes sense. I don't really consider that part the end, I consider when you come back to the spire as the actual ending part.

I see your point but I think you can fill in the blanks very easily. I still don't get where you're seeing Tidus being reborn, though.

Games are losing their creativity lately, I can name a lot that end great (FF X, Gears 2), but also some that do not. My least favourite would have to be the ending to Final Fantasy I.

You do realize it's a 20 year old game. Not very recent at all!

OP: White Knight Chronicles. I don't like cliffhangers.

Look at the first post on this page, go ahead, I'll wait a few seconds, I know right? Don't you feel retarded.

Nope. But maybe you should think of rewording the original post. I mean, you did say lately. A 20 year old game is not recent. And if you looked through your library and found nothing, then, why would you say lately anyhow? I don't feel retarded; just confused.

It was also remade recently...recently. Done poking holes?
