Video game endings

[Brad Shepard]

what is the best one you have seen?

 

[FROGGEman2]

Okami was pretty friggin' incredible.

 

[Satin6T]

the princess is in the castle

 

[Garla Mapit]

I am a big fan of Final Fantasy Tactics' ending.

 

[phatty500]

at the risk of lighting the flame war.....modern warfare 2 had the best ending of any game Ive ever seen.

 

[Catchy Slogan]

Call of Cthulhu: Dark corners of the Earth

 

[Amnestic]

I quite liked how Dragon Age ended. Little snippets of information on what your choices and actions affected throughout the kingdom of Ferelden.

Also, Halo 2.

 

[WayOutThere]

I liked Mass Effect's ending. It had closure without closing off posibility for a sequel. You wouldn't think that would be so hard to do but tell that to the guys that made Assassin's Creed and Fear 2.

 

[APPCRASH]

Any of the Total War series. Yes, I did just put a hundred hours into an RTS for a one minute cut scene. Yes, I know I could have just watched it in the directory and save myself the stress induced baldness that came from playing against the expert AI.

I am a big fan of Final Fantasy Tactics' ending.

I did really like that ending, its better than the guy

Spoiler

Fleeing off to Dreamland and staying in that universe

And on that note, i like to say Braid was a really good ending

The sad ones are usually good and bittersweet the best.

Terranigma (despite the bad script/translation...)
Wind Waker (woah, he actually drowned it forever)
Shadow Hearts: Covenant (if only for how hilariously creepy it makes certain relationship dynamics in retrospect)
Crisis Core (you know it's coming, yet still...)
Metal Gear Solid 3 (*salutes*)

All I can think of right now.

 

[-Drifter-]

The ending of Stranger's Wrath was pretty stunning. The only problem is that it was left open for a sequel that will never be made.

 

[Brad Shepard]

i have to say though, FF8's ending as nothing short of a mind fuck if you think about it, the whole thing started because you played the game... yet... wait... damnit, my brain hurts now...

 

[Kollega]

World of Goo. Can you say "epic puzzle game"? Not "absolutely best" ending, but definetly up there.

 

[Hristo Petrov]

DooM 2

 

[Frybird]

Max Payne 1+2 had both great endings, providing closure without having to make obvious hints at a sequel (if you don't add the credit messages to it)

Same thing for Metal Gear Solid in general (haven't played 4 yet, but hey, even the MGS2 ending was somewhat satisfying despite the mindfucked plot)

And then, of course, there is Shadow of the Colossus

There are others, but enough for now...

 

[Evil Tim]

Viewtiful Joe.

Spoiler

Made me smile, so it did.

 

[kingcom]

In every one of these threads i say the same thing. The Baldur's Gate Saga ending.

 

[Ultress]

Persona 3's, a bit of a downer ending but still a very good ending IMO.

Digital Devil Saga 1's ending had a great cliffhanger that made me really want to play DDS2(Yet to beat 2 though).

There are a few other I could mention like FF6's and Phoenix Wright 3, but it's take a lot longer to list all my favorites.

Special mention to Symphony of the Night for having the song I am the Wind

the princess is in the castle

Haha classic man.
For me it had to be Dragon Age ending. I loved stabbing that fucking archdemon in the stomache and then taking that final blow to its face.
