I hate open endings. I can't see how anyone could like them. Especially if it involves characters you care about or an intriguing mystery.
Why did you post this? I'm genuinely curious as to why someone would bring back a year old thread like this. Did you just not look at the dates of the previous posts? I might understand if you had something meaningful to add but you haven't.

So why?

Finished LA Noire. Googled open endings. This page came up. Wrote the text. Didn't know it was old.

Why should I care exactly that it's old, why do you care?

I like almost everything tied up, maybe a couple minor things unexplained or unsorted as a hook for some DLC, but other than that no loose ends, at all.

I liked Inception - I felt that it didn't need closure because
he was with his kids anyway - he didn't know or care that it could have been a dream (although I do wonder what would have happened if he came back a bit later and found the top still spinning)

I also like ambiguity, such as the ending of In Bruges -
not knowing whether Ray dies or not, and not finding it that important
.

When it's just a simple thing such as, 'Does _____ die or live' or 'Is it a dream or reality' then I love them, but when there are a hundred threads left unfinished because the writers were too lazy to come up with believable conclusions then it annoys me *coughSkylinecough*

The Sopranos was a wonderfully stylish and moving ending in my opinion, although when I first saw it I was like WHAT THE FUCK HOW CAN YOU END IT LIKE THAT YOU BASTARDARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
