I absolutely agree with Fallout 3's ending before Broken Steel.
For others? inFamous to start.
Red Dead Redemption:
And Golden Sun comes to mind, the first time I played I didn't know it was just part of a story, so when it ended it was a huge let down. I was pretty pissed off until I found there was a part 2 coming.

The story was the only thing I was enjoying about this turd festival at first, but the ending cutscene blew that right out of the water and into the dust bin with the rest of the game. The main bad guy is Cole from the future? Really? For crying out loud, it's like they were writing the ending at 4:55 PM on a Friday night and said "Fuck it, let's just use a time travel plot and finish this off so we can clock out."
Red Dead Redemption:
Okay, so my character, the one I spent the entire game become attached to dies, and now I have to play as his son who magically dropped some balls but not really because his almost squeaky voice is annoying as hell? What is this? I don't care about Jack. What was wrong with a "if you start this mission you can't save" last mission so you can keep playing with a character you give a damn about?

Worst ending I can remember is the so-called "Final Fantasy Legend." You spend hours and hours fighting your way through worlds to find paradise, then you finally find it, and God explains that he's been a dick to you this whole time. So you kill God, then decide to give up on Paradise, which is like 5 feet in front of you, and head back home.
The Saboteur.
Mirrors Edge.
Climb up the Eiffel Tower and shoot the big bad Nazi boss that murdered your best friend, your allies, and your Dad. That's it. One hit kill. Zero effort. Hell, if you take to long, he kills himself! All that build-up for nothing.
Mirrors Edge.
The game basically ends with a stupid reveal about some unimportant character betraying you, you kill him, and the game ends with you being a wanted criminal on the run. Which, by the way, is exactly how the game began in the first place.
dragon age origins: kill the arch demon, sometext screen, and then your back at camp proir to the boss, but you can only play dlc. they better fix that for 2.
I'm not even entirely sure what happened. I think I took over the world using an army of splicers and a....nuclear submarine(?) but I'm not positive. Anyway, if that is what you do, it's fucking stupid. It's so retardedly evil. Oh, and the final boss sucks.
The Assassin's Creed games are defined by their cliffhanger endings. If Brotherhood brings some sort of closure, I will shoot myself in the foot.
The Evil ending for Bioshock.
Which apparently I got even if I killed/harvested ONE little sister. I thought I'd be okay, that it would be some kind of like, majority of either saved or harvested would determine. But apparently one tips it to the "you're an insane asshole who sets off to destroy the world"
Not that harvesting a little sister is just a misdemeanor or anything like that, if anything I thought I would get the good ending, but Jack would.. I dunno, have PTSD or nightmares about the little sister thing.

Gotta agree with Fallout 3. They should have just left it open, so you can keep going. I didn't mind the Bioshock ending too much... I think it shouldn't have gone to cutscene, though. Maybe the water rushes in and Jack drowns. The end.
thats a beautiful image:']. what game?AC10 said:I can summarize my choice with a single picture:
I didn't think it was that bad. Maybe it's because I picked up AC1 when there was already a sequel in the works, and I knew I was safe, but I was probably more fascinated that disappointed.JUMBO PALACE said:
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but you don't just leave a single standing game with a cliffie like that, do you? (I'll bet there have been many, many games like that. :\ )
Fable 2 has a pretty ridiculous ending. Fallout 3 without Broken Steel is simply unfair. Condemned 2: Bloodshot boils down to a shouting contest, and Prototype's ending made absolutely no sense to me and was, in fact, the most bull**** fight in the whole game.
However, the worst video game ending without a doubt HAS to be Fable from 1990. In the original version, the game just stops with no explanation as to what happens next. In the modified version, a short cinematic is presented that, I swear, will make you tear out your hair. Go to Youtube, watch Let's Play Fable (1990), then watch the ending. You will have actual rage.
