Suprisingly good end to a bad game.

[LeonLethality]

no not like happy that bad game is over like a bad game with a horrid story thats ending was amazing it just didnt seem to belong, no dont need to get spoilers, but just say the game if needed I will, ffX there i said it i liked its ending it had emotion unlike the rest of the game and i ment godlike or good either way so i settled on god for bad scentence structure sorry for any confusion

Honestly can't think of any seeing as how I generally won't play a bad game to the end! Though I can think of many good games with bad endings, Gears one for example, an ending made horribly redundant by Gears two.

 

[LeonLethality]

yeah but a bad ending to a good game is cliched, a bad game you could skip all the cutscenes >.>

I thought the final fight with RAAM was pretty cool.

Whatta you want from a straightforward action game, a 45 minute thesis on existentialism?

Try Japanese RPGs for all of your incomprehensible philosophy needs.

No I just mean that all the work put into Gears one is rendered pointless when you kick start Gears two and it was all in vain! Not really a huge complaint, just the one I got off the top of my head!

(Major spoilers within)

I don't know any really BAD games with good endings, but i know of a decent game with a surprisingly outstanding ending - Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2.

...
.....Ok, all stopped laughing now?
........Right, good. Anyway...The whole story is very chirpy and syrupy-sweet the whole time, but then in the last few chapters it really gets ominous, and at the very end after a surprisingly difficult boss fight, the ending is unbeleivable. Long story short, your main character gets paradox'd out of existance, and your partner totally freaks out about this, and the whole series of events that happens after this is incredibly done...Its REALLY sad o: Like, worse-than-final-fantasy-x sad. However, Diagla (the Poke-God of time, if you didn't know) reverses the paradox, so you and your partner still get your happy-ever-after.

...OR DO THEY

A few ingame weeks after this happens, your main character starts getting these vision-like dreams, where a different god is trying to kill you to set time straight again, giving the player the feeling that your character won't be allowed his happy ending after all, that thier death had been delayed, not prevented...
But yeah, this is Nintendo and all, so yeah, everything gets resolved, and we all knew that would happen, but its still an amazing change of pace from the usual happy-happy-joy-joy approach the game had that put it very near the top of my favourite-game-story list. =P

While i can't come up with an example for a good end to a bad game, or a game with a bad story, i'd like to point out Gears of War.

I bought the Collectors Edition of GOW 1 back then, and the Artbook was filled with interesting information about Sera, the Events before GOW and the COG, wich were very interesting to say the least. Decades of War, a ultranationalist army as humanitys last defense, Humans pretty much blowing up thier own home for nothing...

...and the Game's Plot itself is of less-than-Michael Bay Quality. I'm not even angry at Gears not having a very good plot, but if it is so, why even waste work on creating an interesting universe?

Ahh, I see what you mean. I suppose when I played it, I already pretty much knew that a sequel was forthcoming and the fight couldn't -really- be over. Wasn't expecting much in terms of ultimate resolution.

The story is really just a cheesy wrapper that gives context to the fact that you have to murder a MASSIVE number of freaky mutant-things.

That's the main bit at the end of the day, still a great game and RAAM was awesome alright.

If it's a bad game I generally don't see the end.

I didn't care much for Kameo (really only beat it because it was only 6 hours long) and I thought most of the story was terrible, but I did end up liking the ending quite a bit. It really surprised me.

 

[Shycte]

I don't know...

But the ending in Condemned: Criminal Orgins is the complete opposite of good. I liked the story but then all of a sudden you fight some strange demon shit and then it ended. It was fucked up.

The new POP had a great ending for a mediocre game
