Halo 3 Legendary on the final level I waited hours for the credits to end and wha do they give me... a 30sec clip
Not to mention the, I dunno, GIANT CRUCIFIXES FLOATING AROUND IN A SEA OF BLOOD.Mr_spamamam said:
I have caught some flak for this, but I thought the ending to Secret of Mana was bull. If I'm The Boy, I'm not going back to the village that threw me under the bus in the first place. I restored the mystical balance of magical energies in the world, you think I'm going back to a place that told me it was my fault a few monsters were running around? Screw that.
the giant crucifixes i kinda understood, wern't they the big robot things that, you know looked like that really pale girl. actually i also didn't understand why the two survivors were sitting on a giant human headClemenstation said:
I just summed the whole thing up as Japanese madness, and decided that giant robots are more fun when they aren't piloted by little emo crybabies.Mr_spamamam said:
Were they on a giant head? I thought it was a beach.
Tetris.
What, the ending is a big dissappointment isn't it? No emotion whatsoever. And the plot was terrible.
Lets see:
The new Prince of Persia....WTF? I didn't even like the girl and now I am going to throw away the world for her? And the game FORCES me to do it?
Fable 2.....yeah, nice boss fight. So I get to eventually kill Reaver right? RIGHT??? He was was an annoying twit.
KOTOR 2. Umm, big tip to developers: DO NOT leave half-finished storylines laying around on a game disc and then release the game as gold with only half a bizarrely messed-up game. If the deadline is grinding you down, at the very least release some patches that finish rounding off the content, not having some "In the future, your companions will......" cutscenes at the end. I should not have to search wikipedia to find out what G0T0 was, or what went on with all the HK droids running around. FOR SHAME Obsidian, for shame.
Oh, and the ending of Evangelion was supposed to be the new beginning of humanity, the "New Genesis" as stated in the series' title. So Shinji is an emo Adam and Asuka is a bitchy, comatose Eve who would rather castrate Shinji and condemn the future than have any kind of relationship with him.

I lived through Final Fantasy XII, grasping at straws that a game this mediocre would at least have a semi-okay ending. After all, they kept talking about Bahamut, and Bahamut was a freaking bad ass dragon in all of the other Final Fantasy games. Bahamut was not a dragon, but a godzilla-sized top of doom, what the fuck!? Then the last boss was killed with the flick of a finger. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
Valkyrie Profile's normal ending was also a minor failure. "Hey, you spent twelve hours grinding so you could beat the second-to-last dragon boss. Good job, Asgard was saved, pat yourself on the back. The End." It would have been okay if they made the plot-opening third ending easier to achieve. As it is, you have to either dig through walk-throughs or buy a strategy guide to get it. And it's not like the third ending can be accidentally won or you have to work really hard to win it. No, instead you need to be at place A with 20 to 30% god favor then hike over to places B, C, D, and F at the right times in the right chapters to witness the right events, afterward winging back to place E to have a cup of coffee with only the right choice of bean.

To me, FF12 always felt like a long list of whys, like:
Why did my main character help the "rebellion"? What was the motivation? Why was there a rebellion at all, since the empire left things better than they found it? Why should I sympathize with the bitchy princess? Could she run the country better than young prince dual-wielding-baddass? Why did all the characters look like Precious Moments figurines? Why did I even need to play the game when it just plays itself? Why did Squeenix try to make a single-player FF11 when that game is slow and boring even with a community of players?

I'm amazed no one has mentioned Okami yet. 30 hours' worth of beautiful, witty, charming Japanese mythology, and... wait, I'm actually a space alien? What?? Not to mention one of the least *interesting* final bosses ever. The fight was fine, don't get me wrong, but the visual design was just abysmal, made all the more annoying by how amazing the bosses to that point were.
