I can't even begin to count the number of NES, Atari, Commodore 64, arcade, etc games which ended with, "Congraturlacciones! You Winner! Game Over!"

Childhood scars, man. Screw you, Ghost 'n Goblins!

Those are the worst endings ever.

Recent games? Fallout 3 as released was infamous with the whole, "No, one of us has to die, you can't send the robot or ghoul or supermutant in," bit.

Alone in the Dark, like extra credits said, which is the 'lesser' evil is subjective. I did what i thought was the right thing because it had a slim chance of saving the world and it gave me the bad ending. i reloaded so i could get the other ending, and found out there's no way to win. maybe that works in a greek tragedy but if they wanted to send a message they should have been consistent in that, not shoe-horned it in.

This is probably going way too far back for most forumers, but Kid Chameleon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Chameleon_%28video_game%29] for the Mega Drive (Genesis) has the most anticlimactic ending of ANY game considering how much effort you have to put in to see it. Almost a HUNDRED brick-hard levels to traverse, just to get this;


I may have been a kid, but I still called bullshit.

may not be the worst, but it was my first terrible ending. Diablo. setting up a sequel with a quick 20 second stupid as hell cutscene. my little 14 year old self just about flipped out when the game just ended
So you saw the twist coming? My jaw hit the floor the first time I saw that ending. I'm always willing to forgive a super short ending as long as there's a proper twist to it. :)

Monkey Island 2. It was so lame and unoriginal i nearly had to tear my own face off after how much my friends raved about the game.
Out of curiosity, where else has that ending appeared?

Also, my personal least favorite ending was Bioshock. For such a strong story for a majority of the game, the ending felt rushed and kind of lame all around.
The un-original part i'm refering to was the star-wars type part during the ending. As for the rest of it, just seemed a massive cop out. I'm sure there are better ways of ending a series, not that i'd personally be able to come up with one.

This is of course just my opinion.

That's because it wasn't a Castlevania game.

And I stand by that with every fiber of my being. Fucking Darksiders was more of a Castlevania game then that.

As for me? As of late, Enslaved. I didn't hate it, but it just seemed odd. Out of place. Like it didn't fit with the rest of the game. Not to mention there was no forshadowing to that sort of thing. I feel like they switched what they wanted the ending to be towards when they were finishing and they didn't fix up any of the earlier details.

Seems like Rampage world tour

100 annoyingly samey levels designed to own you and suck your quarters only to give you the 3 monsters shrinking down to tiny sizes only to have them fall into a woman's very cartoony cleavage.

still not as bad as ghostbusters NES


you played through 10 hours of broken game, ghostbusters theme, button mashing, and using cheat codes...

FOR THAT?!?!?!

EDIT: QUICKLY! WE NEED TO MAKE THAT SONG GOOD AGAIN!


there that's better

yeah, it was a twist alright, a twist worthy of shyamalan! as in, totally unexpected, yet still makes the viewer feel cheated and stupid.

Twilight Princess.

I did all the extra stuff in the last temple (Hyrule Castle) to get the big 200-rupee chest.
And then I walked up one staircase and beat the final boss only to find that there was no option to free-roam or do a new game+ but a dissapointing 'The End' screen followed by reverting to my save right before I entered the castle.

Basically like FO3

And then there's Assassins creed 2, pulling a crystal skull moment at the last minute.

The ending from ME2. Not only is it the point where the game abruptly stops being good, it's so stupid and pointless that it causes a virtual singularity that rewrites time so that the rest of the game sucks as well. Seriously...what were they thinking?
