First of all I thank everyone who responded to my first and previous post.But several comments in it have made me decide that I must do this post here so here it goes.Sequel baiting.It's what happens when you get to the end of a game and the game pretty much tells you that there will be a sequel.Problem is that most of these games have poor endings and decide to just set up a sequel.The main example I think of here is MW2.I've said this before.MW2's ending is so poor.It seemed like that the next thing that we would do in the game was go and kill the main baddy but then out of nowhere bam,credits!Conversly there are some good sequel bating endings.They are the sequels that plan the game and it's ending first so that everything feels well rounded like infamous and its ending(seriously go play that).What sequel baiting endings have left you feeling robbed and what part of the ending left you feeling that way?

I was really dissappointed by Halo 2's ending (and I know I'm not the only one), because at that time Halo 3 hadn't been announced, and the game ended with none of the plotlines resolved, you were all seperated and there was no finality. I was annoyed at the indefinite cliffhanger making you wait until the next game was released, and then Halo 3 only came out for 360, at first I naively thought they would release it for original xbox, or at least the PC, and I waited about 2 or 3 years, but when it was clear it wasn't coming out in another format, I just went on the Halo wiki and read the story from there. So that was an anticlimatic way of finishing the trilogy, that didn't do the story justice.

Assassin's Creed...

All of them (well the console games anyway, don't know anything about the handheld games).

2 and Brotherhood being the worst bloody offenders.

I knew there would be sequals, but leaving the games like they did in those two games was ridiculous, especially since they came out of nowhere.

At the end of both of those games, these were my exact words:
