Worst... Ending... EVER!

[Shotgun_Ninja]

Shenmue I & II, simply because WE'LL NEVER GET A GODDAMN ENDING!!!

 

[Why do I care]

Chakan, the forever man

It has NO ENDING after final, final boss. Just a fucking hourglass.

Saint's row 1.

You and bad guy are on a boat, (I won't ever forget) bad guys talks a few minutes, the the boat blows up mid-sentence. Credits roll.

Centipede on the Atari. I got to level 100 and it reset to level 1. What a let down.
Seriously though:

Fallout 3's ending wasn't as much of a cockslap as people say. It was even worse. Everything you had worked for, every change you tried to bring to the Wasteland, every hope and dream you created for your character is destroyed in a storm of plotty doom. To anyone who plays RPGs properly (that is to say, by role-playing as they should), the ending was so terrible it travelled through time and made the rest of the game suck.

A dozens angry Internet rants on the subject have yet to fully express my anger over this issue. I'm seriously considering starting a boycott on Steam to protest Fallout: New Vegas using the same sort of closed ending.

I am right there with you. My biggest problem with the ending to Fallout 3 was

Spoiler

On my first playthrough I had the mutant who was immune to radiation with me. Not 3 hours previous he was running through an irradiated area, and when it comes time for him to step into the radioactive room hes all, "oh no, this is something you must do, it's your destiny" or some BS line like that. I was sitting there thinking, "LIKE FUCK IT IS BUDDY! Get your ugly ass in there, turn of the whatsa-ma-whozit, get out, and we'll hit a bar and find some girls to celebrate...nobody needs to die, asshole!"

So yeah, closed endings to a games that are pretending to be open ended aren't cool.

That is exactly what I thought! That and I had enough Rad-X and RadAway to keep me going for hours in high radiation areas in the wasteland, yet I was miraculously killed instantly by that stuff... pffft I was not amused, even though I actually liked the ending Montage bit!

+++++Sorry, broken quote++++++

well, if you itemwhore enough, and have it hotkeyed, RadX and RadAway make you immune to rads in that level and in the area around that vault.
one time i walked to vault 86 (the one with all the rads), tried to open the door, but it was broken, marched out of the hotzone, then marched back because i thought i saw something important, then back out of the hotzone- no sickness, no rads rendered. granted i had used RadX, and about 150 RadAways and had another 630 in reserve. btw the rad levels are banannas there. one time it went up to 500rad/sec!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

It was always going to be Borderlands... and then I played LittleBigPlanet. The ending of the story mode was literally an advertisement for the game that you just beat. It's not like it had the world's greatest story to begin with, but I felt ripped off...

 

[Zorg Machine]

assassin's creed 2
hell i like the over the top sci fi aspect of that game
how it mixes it with history
but all you do is fist fight a fat guy
not fun at all

Yea, that was lame

Also, Final Fantasy X. I still don't know what really happened.

basically,

Spoiler

The main character and the main villain were the dreams of dead people, stuck in the physical realm. and the main MAIN baddy was the ruler of the Spira ( in war with zanarkand before zanarkand went boom)...oh and the zanarkand from the beginning was also a dream...and the cool guy is a ghost.

Does that clarify anything?

I hate the ending in Super Mario 64. You save the princess and her entire castle and you get no reward. She invited you to eat some cake (probably as payment for some other time you save her). I mean, she could have at lest made two cakes...or just the one cake but with some ice cream or chocolate.
The worst part is, she probably wants some of the cake herself the selfish bi***.

Crysis-
The ending had no closure at all, and I had to wait three years to see any sign of Crysis 2.
God, Cliffhanger endings are so annoying when it takes three years for the developer to produce a sequel...

 

[Crimson_Dragoon]

Prince of Persia (2008).

Spoiler

You spend the entire game on a quest to keep this big bad sealed away, but oh no, the princess has to sacrifice herself so it works. The prince won't allow it, so he saves her, thus releasing the bad guy after all. In other words, the last 15-20 hours you spent playing the game were utterly pointless storywise. And how was this little dilemma solved? In DLC you had to buy a couple months AFTER the game came out. It wasn't some pointless side story or anything. No, it was the ending to the f*ing main story, which you had to buy later on. Needless to say, I was too pissed at the game to waste any more money.

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Fable 2 has one of the worst endings in a game I've played.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

Borderlands

Oh dear god yes!

Spoiler: Why the ending was terrible

You don't ever get to enter the vault and you just have to fight a clone of the monster from the end of the Watchmen graphic novel...

Wanna play the whole game over again? ...no thanks.

 

[Nick of Blades]

The Saboteur had a pretty poor ending.

You shoot the ultimate bad guy, and then you just continue playing.

Not only that, but it

Spoiler

left a cliffhanger for a sequel that will never come...

 

[Cody211282]

KOTOR 2

Neverwinter Nights 2


Obsidian can't make proper endings to games.

Lets hope we can't add New Vegas to that.

I don't know, from what I have heard it sounds like it will be a rather cool ending, but still it's Obsidian, so even is it is good there will be a bug.

 

[fluffybunny937]

Fable 2 had a pretty unexciting ending. (Fable 3 better have a ending that's good)
KOTOR 2's ending was unfinished, but the whole game wasn't finished anyways.

 

[Uncanny Doom]

God of War 2 had such a shitty cliffhanger ending and didn't really give that sense of satisfaction that you should have had for the journey the game put you through.

But the most robbing feeling an ending has given me is the 2008 Prince of Persia. Everything you do in the game is undone making the entire course of playing it feel pointless.

 

[gjendemsjo]

Red dead Redemption obviously. The ending just flat out ruined the game for me. Don't know if I want to replay it either.
