Final Fantasy X, after you defeat the last boss Tidus dies because your a dream... wait WHAT!!!
I know what a cliffhanger is and that was no cliffhanger.TheMonkeySlayer said:
A cliffhanger can give you at least some sort of closier. That left nothing but me wanting to know why that was considered a good ending
The Psychonauts ending was about as satisfying as washing my hands. After going through an experience that is better than many movies I have watched, the ending was this abrupt bookend to this great story. When it was done I thought the game may have had multiple endings, because I had to believe that there was something better out there than what I had seen. Everything is resolved as quickly as possible, like Tim Shafer had an impending deadline and needed to throw something together.
It just seems to be something about Quake games, really. Although to be fair, Q1 and 3 didn't really have any story. Q1 was basically 3D Doom, and Q3 was, for all intents and purposes, multiplayer exclusive. By contrast, I did actually think Q2's ending was quite good. Nothing amazing, but it worked.yourbeliefs said:
I agree with you about Q4, though. As much as I enjoyed the game, the ending was basically just setting up for a potential sequel which it doesn't look like we're going to get.
Metal Gear Solid 2 - sorry hour long codec conversation? No thanks.
Prince of Persia (new) - Loved the Game but WHY is that the ending?
Final Fantasy X pt 2 - HAHA just plain bad
Fable 2 - Same stuff said before
Halo 2 - Just kinda stopped
etc.

despite not being shown in a nice cinematic, I think it wrapped up nicely and was the only appropriate way for it to end.ta2ce said:

Sooo.. We've been using you this whole time to further our own agenda, despite the fact that we already have the power to take over the city by force, we wanted to be sneaky and do it in the most elaborate, expensive way possible.
There wasn't really a story to begin with, and I would've been happy with a generic medal award ceremony, a pat on the back, etc. But no, they have to pull the ultimate dick move, the cliffhanger.

Looking back, Kingdom Hearts. It ends with your androgenous main character, Sora, pretty much leaving Kairi behind to help Donald and Goofy, who look like they should (I.E., NOT like they do in the KH games) go look for Mickey like in some bastardized Disney cartoon.
And then the sequel is gonna give out more questions that wont be answered until the next one. I'm pretty sure its gonna be a trilogy.hagaya said:
