Infamous 2, Arkham City, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Skyward Sword, Red Dead Redemption, Link's Awakening... These are just the ones that spring to mind right now, I'm sure there'd be more if I had a proper think about it.
What was the last ending of a game that was genuinely satisfying?

Shadow of the Colossus had an amazing and quite unexpected ending sequence. I also really liked the ending to Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (awesome game by the way, one of my favourites of last year), which very neatly tied everything up and had some great plot-twists.
Other games with great endings I recently played were To the Moon, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Portal 2.

Err... Boy this is going to take me a while.
Well the last few games I played were Skyrim and AC1, AC2 and ACB (Just got into the series) and all of those have catastrophically bad endings. And since there's been nothing worth buying recently I haven't completed a new game for a long time.
Pokemon White ended nicely? But that was over a year ago. So I can't help but feel that no-one knows how to end a game properly...

Well I just finished metal gear solid for the first time. That had a great ending.

Do you know how many people actually know Dovahkiin became Talos?Rblade said:
Almost 0 because its a super abstract, and metaphorical act, they never tell about you in-game.
And much like the fate of Vivec and Nerevar and the Dwemer they NEVER WILL tell you in ANY of the games.
It will be contained in its own little world of outside game lore that will get a super vauge and brief mention in a future game, 99% of people who play the sereis will NEVER know, it wont really affect anything.
Like theres tons of people who don't know that the sheograth you meet in Skyrim is your player character from Oblivion, they never tell you, it is only hinted at, and not knowing doesn't change anything.
I haven't played it yet. And I kind of like that kind of stuff. I read all the books in morrowind on the dwemer to kind of piece it together. Thats why I would have prefered not being told such things. And I think it kind of carry's from he theme of oblivion.SajuukKhar said:Do you know how many people actually know Dovahkiin -sensoredRblade said:-?

Which, to get on topic, which in my eyes a pretty nice ending. Not what you expect but relativly epic and conclusive.
Trust me, me telling you that is not ruining anything because it isn't hinted at anywhere, it isn't told to you by anyone, its something only someone who knows all the outside game lore already would know.Rblade said:
Also the books in Morrowind lied about how the dwemer vanished.
Dark Souls. Both of them.
To Link The Fire just has this horrible sense of bewildered betrayal, and this horrible realization that you've just been played.
Dark Lord is just epic. No clue what happens to humanity, or the undead, or anything else, but whatever's left, you're the new boss of it.

UMvC3? No
Asura's Wrath? Not after going through the "Secret Episode". And for the record...FUCK YOU CAPCOM!
Deus Ex: Human Revolution? Kinda...But I didn't like the Ending-tron 9000 so, No.
Deus Ex? Hmmm...Maybe. I didn't really agree with any of the choices given but that's kind of befitting for the world. I don't know...
Resident Evil 5? Not really...For once this is a bad guy I DON'T want to die.
Serious Sam 3? Nah...Leads nice into the first game, but kind of a downer.
Transformers: War for Cybertron? Again, kind of a downer one.
MediEvil? Kind of a fitting end but not that satisfying.
Batman: Arkham Asylum? Yup. Ends more or less how a comic book would, evil is put to justice and the hero goes off to his next adventure.
So there we go, Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Hmm...
I guess the last game ending i was satisfied with was Halo Reach's. That last sequence of fighting off the Covenant knowing you can't win really showed how fucked you were from the beginninh, it just felt really powerful how your Spartan dies without much sound to it.

Err Professor Layton and the Lost Future? I mean all the other games I had played after that were average well except for The Last Story.
As typical from the Layton game, it wrap up all the mysteries in that game and has a nice slide show type of ending to which serve as a epilogue. The third game however did had two heartfelt moments in it (I'm not going to mention it due to it being a spoiler).
