The game is lovely and brings you to the end, which is equally nice. Shotgunning Poison headcrabs is just as wonderful as G-Man's haunting voice: "Time, Docter Freeman?".
I find the journey, the story development and the action throughout the duration of the game really make a game, but it seems that often the ending turns into, for me at least, lots of dying, relatively simple boss battles (the ones where it's like block/dodge, attack, block/dodge, attack etc.) or total bitches of battles where I have to resort to doing the same very damaging, but boring attack over and over.
I'd like a game where the ending is tough, you really have to work to survive, but survival should be relatively simple if you're good enough. I find if you repeatedly die it takes away from the special occasion that is the final level of a game.

I used to get really upset when I completed a game I enjoyed, particularly Zelda OoT and Mario 64, because there wasn't anything left to do. No reason to keep playing. If that isn't evidence for me preferring the "journey", then I don't know what is.
That's a measure of an enjoyable game: does completing it leave you wanting more, regardless of the game's length?

I like RPG's and when a game sucks me in so completely that I just have to know what happens next I am more than satisfied and will overlook any bugs of flaws in the combat system.
So that would put me in the journey catagory, however when a game has a bad ending especially if the journy has been good I get really upset and will rant about it for days if not weeks to anyone who will listn.
So I would have to say both the jouney and the ending are equally important.
