Endings That Made You Depressed

[ShadowGandalf]

Did anyone ever watch The Animals of Farthing Wood? The ending of the 2nd series left me in tears.

MGS4: Just that hopelessness for Snake after everything he did, although I'm still confused as to why Otacon couldn't have just gone through the hallway himself

If you let that little robot thingy get too far away from Snake it starts to lose power.

True, but he certainly wouldn't lose power at the end of that hallway, especially when Otacon uses it, plus the battery is effecient.

Hm, I only played it once so I'm not up to speed on all the details. So...plot hole I guess?

Yeah, Plot hole is probably the best excuse, even if Kojima is an awesome writer, everyone makes mistakes...but yeah, MGS4 ending...depressing

The ending to Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was like a bad taste in my mouth.

This is so true. Ass Creed Bro Hood has the worst ending to a game ever.

So desmond is 'forced' to kill lucy. Now this would be all well and good if we had to mash the buttons to resist the inevitable but we dont. We have to push the buttons to kill her. We aren't being forced, we are making the choice ourselves. The sudden jolt from playing as desmond to playing as the aliens is so jarring that it kills it. Add to the the rushed, unexplained end of etzios story and you have an utterly terrible ending.

Death Note
Near is killed by Light. only to have L, who is now a shinigami, use his death note and murder Light in an extremely painful way (bursts into flames)

Was that in the manga? I've only watched the anime, where the ending is quite a bit different...

Anyway, here's the most depressing, yet satisfying endings I know:

no that was the joke. I quoted a post about how you can deny everything about and ending to make it happy like have every Gurren Lagann be alive and have families (like the picture i quoted) so I put down two examples of denying the ending and making up something that makes no sense but makes you happy.

The ending to "The Mist" (film, not story). It was the most stupidly depressing ending to a film that I have ever seen.

I thought it was beautifully tragic. THe symbolism and portrayal of wrong vs right actions swayed me into watching it over and over again. And I discovered the musical group "Dead Can Dance".

The Wind Waker... Im not kidding you every time i beat that game i feel like i lost and i feel depressed and i dont know why.

The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass -

Spoiler

Roland's story ends in tragedy. His lover is burned, the child inside her is killed, he accidentally kills his mother, and in the end his kingdom falls...however, the part where his friends stand with him is...untouchable in terms of the power of story

Ah, gotcha. My mistake then...

When Lulu died

I was just going to say that! But yeah, I was pretty sad at that ending. BUT to be original and and have some kind of game context, Bioshock 2 endings.

Spoiler

Was it just me or was almost every ending either really, REALLY evil or just sad. Only one ending actually left Delta alive. All the rest he was either killed or already dead.

And the one movie that really caught me off guard was the Bridge to Terrabithia when

Spoiler

He finds out his best friend drowned and he keeps trying to deny it. I'm manly enough to say that I cried a little after that. You guys have to admit that was a really sad ending.

yes! WIN!. also
Death Note
Near is killed by Light. only to have L, who is now a shinigami, use his death note and murder Light in an extremely painful way (bursts into flames)

When the fuck does that happen?

OT:

While not the ending, when Charlie gets yelled at by Willy Wonka.

Seriously depressing, man... *sniffs*

 

[Arsen]

The ending to stephen kings dark tower series.......

Am I the only one that thought...

Spoiler

The second he saw the Horn of the Eld he remembered the vanquished memories of his past journey, understood what he was meant to do, and was going out to make it to the Tower with his Katet intact? Or at least whatever the option is other than proceeding to the Tower (AKA: Going with Susannah)

 

[Nocturnal Gentleman]

Games? I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Everything felt so...pointless. Also, persona 4. It wasn't even as sad as the third one, but I think it hurt more to watch because it hit close to home. I swear that whole making a bunch of close friends and then moving away shit is my life except repeated seven times.

Movies?
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. That noble girl was a *****.

Land Before Time. I was still pissed/crying over little foot's mom.

I explained, I was quoting a post about how you can deny everything in an ending no matter how little sense it makes, like saying that everyone in gurren lagann lived happily ever after.

I thought it was beautifully tragic. THe symbolism and portrayal of wrong vs right actions swayed me into watching it over and over again. And I discovered the musical group "Dead Can Dance".

I personally thought it was mean spirited and just put there to be needlessly tragic. It really angered me. There was no need for it. It ruined the film for me.
