The main reason I hate it is because it comes across as really contrived and silly.Ninjafire72 said:
The tanks actually come from the direction he was driving. As the army turns up just about all the mist actually in the area seems to disapear - almost as if they were just waiting for him to cock it up. It just across as pretty needless - especially when the ending for the book was different.
Gears of war 1&2.
xxxHolic. I didn't HATE it, it was kinda....blah
Desert Punk. That ending I didn't like either
And the ending of Minecraft was just.... [small]/trollface[/small]

Hell the only reason I got that ending was because when I beat the first ending I saw there were four more and I had enjoyed the game so much that I wanted to get them all. The last one required a handful of FAQs to get though, due to the complexity of actually getting everything that you need squared away.McCa said:
Great job just reading the first post and not any of the follow ups. Guess I'll have to edit it for conversation stragglers like you. *shakes head in disbelief*SmashLovesTitanQuest said:

Any bad Deus Ex. ?I?m looking at you ?Matrix: Revolutions?.
Any bad Dream sequence. I?m looking at you ?Repo-Men?.
I say bad because sometimes they can be rather hysterical. There was a fantastic ending of an old show that ended with a dream sequence from the same actors of a completely different show (it?s awesome if you were aware of both shows) that was superbly well done. So it *can* work, but just not in the f**k you kind of way.
I want to also say unresolved endings; but that requires that (A)the story didn't suggest an unresolvable conflict as its premise and (B)there actually was a story worth resolving in the first place. I take a look at a movie like "Blinded" and I'm just happy it ended, that thing had absolutely no point to it whatsoever. I mean I get the idea it looks at the natures of humans when you strip down the levels of control with a bad situation, but it was arbitrary at best and a snuff film at worst.
As far as Predator culture is concerned, unless you are invited into a hunt, it is not your place to kill another?s prey. Their culture has a specific code of honor that required them to grant him a trophy for his success. It showed how much more honorable they were than humans. Pretty good fit I thought. They illustrated this several times throughout the movie so I liked they ended the same way.fates_puppet13 said:
I *really* enjoyed that the director pushed the concept of immutable history. No matter what, the events had to play out exactly the same way or none of the events would have occurred in the first place. They couldn?t prevent judgment day because then the terminator wouldn?t have travelled back in time in the first place. (Also pushed literally in ?Time Machine?)fates_puppet13 said:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2's ending did it for me. I enjoyed the game , but (SPOILERS AHEAD) when Sarge said "anyone know how to fly a plane... okay we'll figure it out when we get there", I thought I would be trying to fly the plane, not just jumping out and then learning that Russia's invading from Alaska anyway... It just makes me go AAARGH!
Ahh, well I got the other four. Must've missed it saying 5th, one of my favourite games.Fayathon said:
I just finished watching the anime Corpse Princess, and I have to say I was very disappointed with the ending. I enjoyed the show all the way up to the very last 2 minutes of the last episode. I wont go into any details just in case someone decides to watch it. It was still a very good anime in my opinion. I just hated the ending.
David and Leigh Eddings "The Dreamers" series of novels
Seriously!!After 4 books that's the best fucking ending they could come up with
Basically the Dreamers of the title are gods.At the end of book 4 they suddenly go "hey wait a minute we're gods.Why don't we use our godly powers to go back in time and make it so none of this stuff ever happens"..and that's exactly what they do

That's an odd way to interpret the series. I could understand that if it were not for the last episode, but the last episode is the reason why you're interpretation is wrong. The fact of the matter is Clannad is not a tragedy. Part of the message the series was trying to send was that despite the fact that you're choices can be wrong, you should never regret the happiness they brought you. The five years of Tomoya's depression is also what set this up. Despite losing Nagisa, he was able to live happily again with his daughter a few years later.
And Romeo and Juliet did not have a sad ending, the deaths of the two ended up bringing their families together.

Anything that ends up only being a dream,
The Rozen Maiden manga series, seriously WTF?
Game wise I hated the Fable 2 ending, you didn't get a final boss, just a long cutscene, I felt a little robbed.

Sonic '06 had at the same time the best and worst game ending in existence.
On the one hand, it made itself not exist.
On the other hand, it made itself a paradox.

You don't have to be cynical to know that removing the tragic element from a tragedy will ruin it. A happy ending is not universally a good thing, sad endings are not universally good things. Clannad is one of those things that needed to end sadly. The way it did end just neutralized all the emotional weight it was building up so nicely and made me feel sort of silly for crying for 6 hours.Dango said:
It irritates me that the most emotionally powerful narrative I've ever experienced needs an Astrix over it saying "If you don't watch the last episode"
