Endings that didn't suck.

Babylon 5, it was a viking funeral

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Steven King's Dark Tower.

Don't tell me! I'm still on book 1.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time had a really GREAT ending which in a way could prevent any kinds of sequel. Unfortunately it did not prevent Ubisoft from creating a trilogy though and the monstrously bad ending of the latest Prince of Persia.

Don't tell me about that either! I just started playing Sands of Time. The combat is pissing me off though. Also except for the narration, I can hardly hear the voices.

Assassins Creed posed alot of questions... but it was awesome. Those clusterfuck of events really made me feel like I was the one getting done over.

A book called Pillars of the Earth was perfect. It began with a hanging that spawned injustice, hate, and tyranny, and ended with a hanging that produced justice, closure, and an end to all evil. It was just... brilliant.

Also loved the ending to Ocarina of Time. Kind of bitter-sweet.

The end of District 9

Metal Gear Solid 1: The ending where

Spoiler

Meryl Dies. That was the REAL ending, and fit better all the themes from the game (i.e. How a Legend can be blown out of proportion and how Snake was just a human susceptible to failure)

As for movies, I'd have to say: The Usual Suspects, Memento, Primal Fear, Rocky, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Another one that I feel has an underrated ending is Green Street Hooligans. I loved Elijah wood walking off into the streets singing "Forever Blowing Bubbles" and chanting "United". Maybe its just because I'm a West Ham fan...

Mass Effect. It both offered a sense of closure while baiting a sequel at the same time.

And that incredibly cheesy epic closing screen of Commander Sheppard standing out in space.

I give Mother 3 my title for favorite ending. It's heartfelt, emotional, beautifully paced, and offers closure if you stick around.

When I saw "myself" standing there, heroically staring into space for no reason whatsoever, I cringed.
The credits song was fantastic though.

Halo 3

Inglourious Basterds

Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Cowboy Bebop

Atlas Shrugged

Knights of the Old Republic II (lulz)

 

[bob-2000]

the Half-Life series had wonderful endings... i still haven't gotten over the last one...

 

[piez13]

World War Z by Max Brooks. We've won, but zombies are still out there...
As for movies this year, Up (the whole theatre started clapping at the end), District 9 and Inglourious Basterds all had great endings.

Am I the only one who'd rather see a District 9 prequel along with a sequel?

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz (Seriously, if you haven't read it do so now. Stop reading this post and go down to the library. Go!)
Portal
Spaceballs
Max Payne
Big Fish

I almost forgot, any Dragonlance novel.

 

[eatenbyagrue]

The Captain Falcon Anime Show: I have no idea about the show, I just know it ended with THE MOTHER OF ALL FALCON PUNCHES.

The one that destroys an entire galaxy?

 

[Xylon Lionheart]

Most powerful ending I think I've ever seen? Schindler's List. I also liked Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.

[Daedalus1942]

Fallout 3 (without the downloadable content).

 

[aakibar]

Lord of the Rings you cannot argue with this.

 

[ntafiend]

The lord of the rings (books and movie)

Mass Effect (good job all around on that one)

Final fantasy x - I think they did a great job developing (some of) the characters so i actually cared about the ending.

 

[Draco Kaiser]

God of War 2. Kratos brought back the Titans and they're climbing Mount Olympus. What he said was great.

 

[piez13]

Lord of the Rings you cannot argue with this.

Agreed. To try is futile.
