The End of All - Video games, anime, and comics/manga

[rekabdarb]

Now sitting here in my bed on my laptop i have finished FMA the manga and like many before it and many after it i was slightly depressed at the ending. Not because it's sad, but because it's over. Now i think i know why (at least 1 reason) MMO's are so effing amazing. They DON'T end. Which can be a draw back or an advancement (depending if the game sucks or not in general) I know when Blizzard put the retardedly stupid monument in dalaran (despite Bolvar being all like "DON'T TELL ANYONE DUMBASS") i lost 90% interest until cataclysm comes out. The story arc is over, the end of the tyrant and slaughterer of millions of hours of life (and grades FUUUUUUCK!) to everyone has been felled. Now i haven't killed him personally and i probably will before my 2 months expire (i'm on a temporary leave of absence) so i can get kingslayer.

ANYWAYS now that this retarded rant about wow is over, i've discovered more and more that whenever i finish something EPIC and 40+ hours go into it i am depressed. This amazing story arc has finished and won't come back unless in cameos of something else. Replaying FF7 on the psp i just got to the third disk and i'm regretful to continue anymore because the story is over, the only thing left is do extra shit or kill Mister the end all of villains.

What do you guys feel when getting to the end of something.

Glad it's ending? or depressed because you can't go further? I guess the same could be said about life thinking about it... i hope this doesn't become tl;dr but yeah

Well, I enjoy the ending when done right. I think it's better than something being dragged on and on when it should have just ended (*cough* Silent Hill *cough*). As they say, it's always better to leave them wanting more than to overstay your welcome.

The only thing like that I've ever felt sad about was firefly because the last episode is my favourite but when it ends I realise theres no more

On topic: Sometimes I fall into a post series or game depression, because I want go on more adventures with my favorite characters, but this usually only happens with book/anime/games/movies that I REALLY love.

Off topic: The name of this thread is MIGHTY misleading.

Well, I was when FMA ended... And back when Death Note ended... But because they were awesome manga, and then there was nothing more to read. At least DN's authors came out with Bakuman, none of the FMA's author's stuff really jumps at me.

Metal Gear Solid 2, I had mixed feelings. The ending was utterly insane, and I didn't want that to end. But I was glad I had conquered it all, and even more that meant I could go onto MGS3 (as I got them at the same time).

That wasn't as bad as the end of the movie. That last part was really depressing.

If it's any good I'll get sad but if it ends on its own terms then I'm happy. Avatar The Last Airbender is the best example I can think of.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I know how you feel, I'm pissed whenever good mangas or animes are finished.

Games? I don't play MMOs, when I did the creators never once even considered letting the thing that made so much money end.

Usually the games I continually play have a multiplayer with either no or very little plot.If Team Fortress 2's multiplayer ever goes down... Brix will be shat.

I just saw Toy Story 3. I feel sad, yet fulfilled. Avatar the last Air bender had a great finale. Can't wait for the movie.

Would now be a bad time to remind you they killed off 2 of the main characters?

agreed... although he was pretty badass in the uhm... episode everyone goes shooting up the gangster's hideout and river first goes all crazy like

I love a chance to embark on a new adventure as well, but I still don't really like when my old favorite dwindles to a close. I usually don't care much about the story by that point though. I let my overactive imagination take over (yes, I'm those geeky type of low life).
But I always missed being a part of a world.

With that said, I don't think I have ever replayed a game in my life. I play way too slow, so by the time I'm done with 2 games...a new console comes out. (Well..that's what happened with the SNES, PS, and PS2 anyway.. so yeah, I'm still trying desperately to finish up my stack of PS2 games..let alone start any game on PS3 yet).

 

[DarthVanitas]

I'm pretty satisfied when I complete a game, anime, manga, etc. If I enjoyed it, I usually look for other properties by the same creator, writer, producer, etc.

 

[philosophicalbastard]

I call that feeling "Finisher's regret". I always use to get it, but recently it hasn't been a problem.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Sigh.
Happens a lot.
Unless the End of a Game/Anime/Manga is pure happiness i tend to feel sad about it being over.
Fire Emblem for example had a very bittersweet feeling the first time i beat it.
and now every time i beat it i still sigh when its over.

But i always feel great that i got to experience something that moved me enough to make me wish it didn't haft to end.
