limp endings.

[SeriousSquirrel]

Kane and Lynch. I loved the game until like 90% of the way through. Why the fuck am I fighting a war in Cuba! Not really limp, just like weird

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

as I first read the title I thought it was some sort of joke about not being able to "hold it in" if you know what I mean, and thne trying to help her finish and being limp... yeah, that's what I thought when I opened this

OT: I have to agree with you, but I suppose most platformers for me, LittleBigPlanet was amazing, but the way they designed enemies I think kind of made the finale fall flat.Borderlands, surprised someone hasn't mentioned that yet... can't think of any more off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are plenty more

Lol, me too...

Um, I don't actually finish many games, but I wish Borderlands gave you a cool ultra-gun for killing the spacesquiddy.

Also, I want a sequel where we get to hunt down and take revenge on the weird direction chick-thing.

Also, I want icecream. Just saying.

Limp endings?
...WHO HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO?

THAT ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME

TELL JANICE TO STOP SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT ME OR I'M GETTING A LAWYER

this joke has been done so far 4 times now but it deserves another shot.
"limp endings? that sounds like everyone's sex life" bu-dum-tish

anyway now that i got that out of my system... my personal one right now is the ending of Elder scrolls 4. you just watch a cutscene and then talk to an generic looking NPC and alll you can do is leave. i don't think Bethesda knows how to make a climatic ending at all.

So tempting to make another dirty joke, but plenty of people already had that idea.

I'll go with Oblivion: the end of the main quest is epic, but after that it feels like an anticlimax, where you get some shitty armour and the word carries on exactly as before, only you're occasionally addressed as the Champion of Cyrodil.

i finished 'Alan Wake' this evening and was largely disappointed by its limp (and somewhat confusing) ending. but then i thought about it for a second..... sonic unleashed, transformers WFC, no more heroes 2, these were games that (in my opinion) had a good beginning story and good gameplay, but their endings sucked!

why do you think this is??????

what game do you think has a limp ending?

war for Cybertron ties into all the comics and TV shows, so ofcourse they couldn't give a definate ending... The war has to rage on for thousands of years, so if the autobots or decepticons win the war on cybertron, then the entire francise that comes after is altered...

ok yeah i know all that, but surely they could've come up with something bigger than "they leave in a space ship"

how about Optimus and megatron fight each other, then just when optimus is about to give the killing blow Starscream swoops in a saves Megatron, the desepticons leave cybertron just as the core shuts down, THEN the autobots board the ARK and chase the decepticons, with optimus vowing to megatron that no matter where they go, the autobots will always battle to destroy the evil forces of the decepticons!

isnt that cooler?

I don't mean to be an ass with this, just tossing it out there

1) In the very first episode of the series, star scream basically shouts out that he's a traitor and says "This would never have happened if I ruled" and just about every time Megatron gets in trouble, starscream decides to seize command of the decepticons.

2) The autobots don't want to fight. I believe the original story was that they simply ran away form cybertron, that there WAS no massive confrontation

3) I can't remember the ending of the game 100%, but in the series, the autobots ran away and the decepticons chased them down. It wasn't a bravery mood to restore peace to the universe, it was "Shit, we need to run away and find new energy sources!"

Sorry if I seem stuck up with this. One thing I loved about War for Cybertron was the consistency

Well pretty much every RTS game these days expects you to spend hours slogging through the campaign for 1 minutes worth of ending which is little more than congratulations, you won, well done, go away lol

There are a couple, the one that stands out the most is Bad Company 2. But honestly, I'm more disappointed when movies have limp endings. The ones with the biggest guilt there are Shutter Island and Afterlife.

Shutter Island? How is that a limp ending when it's open enough for everyone to have their own view on it? I thought it was a masterpiece, the ending was for me really powerful.

But it wasn't open. It ended with him still being insane, and him accepting his insanity and the orderlies then taking him to the lab where he gets lobotomized.

Digimon World 3.

Boss explodes, credits.


FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[Figerox]

In my opinion, The best game I have played ( that is old.) Is Majora's Mask. I don't understand how link got to Termina, (Besides the twisted corridor) it just ends wit that stupid tree with the drawing of Link and Skull Kid! (It pissed me off. horribley)

 

[The AtticWarrior]

Dude, does the phrase 'Pandora's Box' mean anything?

 

[Dr.Funk]

Mana Khemia. You have godlike powers, but either lose them due to angst or die just because no one loves you. Limp AND deppressing ¬¬

KoTOR 2. I don't care about patches or anything. It sucked. The game up until that point was pretty good though.

KOTOR 2's ending wasn't bad story-wise, it just wasn't explained very well. I think there needed to be some kind of epilogue rather than going straight from the final boss to the last cutscene and the end. I wish more games would have this, just a little more gameplay after the climax of the story, like in Dragon Age (with one of the endings). It helps to round things off better in my opinion.

Fallout 3. The original ending, I don't care if they released Broken Steel (a.k.a. We're sorry the ending sucked so hard we had to release mediocre ending...for $10)

Definitely agree with this one, the story in general was a little formulaic but that ending was useless. The boss wasn't threatening in the slightest, the enemy's motivation wasn't really dealt with (although I havn't played Fallout 1&2 so I don't know too much about the Enclave) and any game where they have to round it off with DLC, especially paid-for DLC, is a failure in my book.

Probably Borderlands. You spend like 30 hours grinding your way towards the Vault, and it turns out that all that's in it is a giant squid. Fuck that. (I liked Borderlands, but the ending pisses me off, I was hoping for at least some good loot to be in there)

Its not just that theres a squid in there but that ghost women says that it closes and now you cant enter it in your lifetime. The fact you've killed all those monsters and bandits, died countless times and pretty much cleared the entire path to the vault just for someone else to claim all the treasure ... Such a stupid ending.

Theres probably alot of bad endings but none of them get as bad as Borderlands.

 

[Caliostro]

sonic unleashed [...] had a good beginning story and good gameplay[...]

...uh?

why do you think this is??????

Because of shitty writers, or, more commonly, no writers at all. Not much of a mystery.

That said, "limp dicked" endings... Assassin's Creed. The "in-animus" ending was fine, but the actual "real life" ending made me want to murder someone at Ubisoft.

 

[Hybridwolf]

Half life 2, if only because it's taken forever to end the damn game.

Bioshock 2, mostly due to the fact it isn't you performing the ending. More or less your just basicly sitting back and watching someone else do them for you.

Borderlands, even with the DLC, had the most limp ending for me. So you either kill a giant squid or you kill a giant crab. Amazing.
