What, no mention of Halo: Reach's ending yet?
Even Yahtzee liked it, which is saying something, considering his usual thoughts on Halo.

This. Also the best beginning and middle.Inithra said:
Super Metroid had a pretty awesome ending/final boss fight as well, as did Link's Awakening.
Also, are we talking gameplay, story, or both? Because if we're just talking plot/writing, Psychonauts ended as awesomely and hilariously as the rest of the game was.
And I think the first Witcher deserves a bit of a shout-out for best twist. Second Witcher, I can't form much of an opinion on the ending because it doesn't really have one
The ending to Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask... especially if you completed all the side quests in one three-day cycle (which is incredibly difficult) to get the "perfect" ending... is amazing. In case I haven't mentioned enough times this week, Majora's Mask is my favorite video game of all time.
My second favorite (ending, not my second favorite game) would be Conker's Bad Fur Day, which is brilliant, moving, and surprisingly mature considering the game that has preceded it.
Other contenders include Super Paper Mario (which, though the weakest in the Paper Mario series, was one of the most emotionally charged and surprisingly moving games in the Mario series), Final Fantasy IX, X and the "perfect" ending to X-2 (VI's ending is good, there's a reason it's my third-favorite game of all time, but it loses points for the "The Magic Goes Away" Trope), and of course the Portal games.
And, though Minecraft has no "official" ending, there is that satisfaction when you've completed a big project.

Portal was good, Mass Effect 2 whole ending level and Bioshock good ending. They're not the best, but I enjoyed them.

Both Portal games has great endings. On the first I was like "WHAT!?", and the second was just lovely.
Final Fantasy IX has a great ending - I cried first time I saw it (in my defence, I was about 9 years old and this was the first "big" game I had completed). Also Final Fantasy 10 I loved too.
Red Dead Redemption was also awesome.

That shit was *SAD* lol, I liked my cheesy warm n' fuzzy good ending just for being what it was, but that one definitely gave me stronger feelings xD, I even got the "sad lump" in my throatHatter said:
which is crazy since I haven't played that game in a long time.
And that is a great part of the reason Crisis Core is my favorite game of all time. Awesome ending!LittleBlondeGoth said:

inFamous 1 would have to be up there for me. I was getting so bored with the story and forced myself to finish the game, but I'm so glad I did because the ending made the entire story awesome for me.
OP, you said specifically the good ending for inFamous 2, but I found both good and bad endings to be surprisingly emotional endings. That ending song definitely enhances it, too.
