Worst. Ending. Ever.

Ghoul School (NES) comes to mind. Not really the worst, but just made me the angriest.
Thought FFX had a great ending. Don't even think the ending of KOTOR II really counts as an ending. Fable II ending sucked too, but wasn't the worst ever.
You fight an entire school full of ghouls to save this girl and she just rejects you in the end.
Nothing in that series was planned in advance. All my friends RAVED about "Lost". I watched the pilot, and thought it was brilliant. But by the time I finished season 1, it was clear that the writers had no frickin' idea what to do with the show. And it got worse as the series progressed. Most overrated series EVER!pilouuuu said:
Agreed. Those fucking floating towers with the blades that chase you around that haunted place posed more of a threat.Mortai Gravesend said:
Blood II. That game was not only full of horrible design choices, but the ending was just plain awful.
Oh, and I couldn't go without putting this gem of stupidity:
The Doom Novels.
Okay, so the first and second books were fine. They added a bit more of a plot to Doom's frenetic psychofest, and it was fairly interesting. Then, on the count of book 3, the series hit looneytown. Please note that I am not making ANY of this up (as hard as it may be to believe). If you think I am, please, go ahead. Read them. Be my guest.
I'm only putting it in spoiler tags because it's a wall of text. Not because I don't want to spoil anything for you.
Okay, so you defeat Gideon, who was the (really goofy) antagonist up until that point, and Caleb then proceeds to duel with "The Ancient One". I remember no mention of "The Ancient One" up until after I defeated Gideon. After killing The Ancient One (which is essentially a giant meatball with tentacles), then another character shows up and says "You must seal the rifts Caleb! The power is within you!". He then flies into the air, then the game cuts to the end credits featuring the 4 Chosen doing a walk cycle.

So after a brief period of peace after the events of Doom II, our heroes learn that the demons are not actually demons, but genetically engineered war machines created by a species of aliens known as "The Freds" (who are described as long armed metal torsos with one chicken foot and a head resembling a stalk of asparagus). The protagonists must then travel far into outer space with the help of two space gorillas named Sears and Roebuck. Sears and Roebuck tell our heroes that the Freds are but one faction in an intergalactic war... about books. Yes, you heard me. Books. The Freds attacked Earth because humans are the one beings in the universe that can actually die (for good). The rest of them just become ghosts until they can find a new body. Our heroes then board a Fred ship and begin battling through their ranks. It is around here that my memory becomes a bit less complete, so I only remember so many parts. Most of the rest was incoherent nonsense. The protagonists take a teleport to the home planet of the Freds, where they find the place in ruins. It turns out that the Freds were attacked by another group of genetic experiments called (and yes, I'm being serious) "The Newbies Soobies". The Newbies Soobies wiped out the Fred planet in a matter of days, and our heroes join another group of space travelers to wage war on the Newbies Soobies. It turns out that the Newbies Soobies had devolved into microscopic parasites that were posessing the members of the crew. They then attach the two heroes to devices that force them into their own memories. It is here that the main protagonist (Doomguy) realizes that he can alter the physics of the dimension itself, by forcing himself to remember differently. He makes all the demons (I mean genetic experiments that only LOOK like demons) worship him as a God, so they can... I don't even remember why he was making a demon army. Suddenly, for NO reason at all, the protagonists are out of the memory machine and back on earth. On earth, in the millions of years that our heroes have been gone, the planet has been redesigned with diamond (because I guess in the new world diamond was cheaper to produce than dirt) and abandoned. After a bit of exploration, with NO reason given, the heroes are back in the memory machine. They find a Newbie soul (which I guess is a giant sponge) and carry it around before deciding that they will stay in the memory machine forever and recreate earth the way it was before. The end.
To me, few things get so bad as the ending to the movie adaptation of "The Dreamcatcher", from Stephen King (the whole movie is all over the place and everything after the beginning is crap, but the ending is seriously infuriating). As I don't know how to hide text, I won't spoil this, even if I think no one in their sane mind will ever want to see this waste of time of a movie.
Since this is an off topic discussion, I'm giving a book as an example. Stephen King's Cell. The story is greaat and it's a really good book, but the end is a cock slap. (Trying to avoid a spoiler) I guess they wanted us to gather our own conclusion as to whether it worked out like the protagonist wanted it to. Did it work? I like to think it did.
Repeated use of Ctrl f says that this thread has gone a full five page without any mention of Stephen King's The Mist, the film, not the book. I haven't read the book, so I can't judge it, but the movie? MY GODS THAT ENDING.
If you've seen the movie, then you know how stupid the ending is. If you haven't, consider yourself better for it.

Ever since Fable II the series seems to fall flat on its face when it comes to final confrontations and subsequent resolutions.
So I go with that.

Halo 2. That was so disappointing. I still remember that feel when Master Chief warps in around Earth, and because of the motto, "Finish the Fight!" I was getting pumped for a massive showdown. Then it ended. I played it again just to make sure it didn't glitch. F that. Didn't even purchase or play Halo 3 because of how disappointed I was with the series.
harry potter series. i was hoping that brat died and STAYED DEAD. imagine how loud i cursed the LORD when i skipped to the end of the 7th book and didnt bother with that hocus pocus elder wand crap stuff, i let the moovy explain it all.
another worst ending i can think of is games with multiple endings, and literally the worst one you get is because your character somewhere along the line fucked up real good.

Gears of War 2
Bioshock (great game but it should of ended at Andrew Ryan's part)
Star Wars Episode 3 "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Haha, I picked that book out in a library to thumb through while I was waiting on a bus. It was an absolutely huge book. The beginning was insanely gorey, just the standard madness of "Oh noes, zombie apocalypse!" and I got about 30 pages in (the bus timetable where I live is a joke) Then when it finally appeared I flicked to the last page just for the sake of it, and it gives that massive "cock slap" (I think your words are the perfect description of it)TheMightyAtrox said:
I can only imagine what it must have been like to read through the entire book and then see that... abominable cliffhanger on a plotline that was established at the very beginning. I'm sorry for your loss.
Luckily I got it on audiobook from a library and listened to it while driving around delivering pizzas. I'm glad I did, but at first I thought I was missing a disc.Hero in a half shell said:

Just.. the fuck?

He just, stabs her out of no where because some ancient ass God said so! With no explanation and a voice over of you beign jammed back into the Animus
Your standards must be rather low then... Even as a person who plays way too much Borderlands and likes the game, I hated the ending... Talk about anti-climax...Shadey[64 said:
You get to fight a giant tentacle vagina-looking boss that kills the person you've been chasing and trying to kill. You are awarded none of the loot that you've been hearing the Vault has contained, and instead be given a pile of usually worthless loot not worth using or prizing, to sell.
DLC3 definitely seemed to be what people did want in the ending but were "denied". It added so much shit and I almost never venture back out of that DLC area. You get a massive stockpile of loot that you can sift through for a limited time, though you can actually bypass this by using a glitch to get in so you can have unlimited time to open all the chests as well as return any time you want to farm it again.
I think someone actually counted the amount of chests in the Armory and it was... 137 chests.
Also Crawmerax is a pretty challenging boss to say the least, at least until you get used to it, I can usually solo him in 2 minutes or so now. He drops a good 50 or so items and the loot pools are apparently far, far better than anywhere else in the game, so you'll find great gear this way more often.

I actually kind of liked the end to Fable 2. It made a lot of sense; I mean, what were you expecting? The guys like 70 years old.Mortai Gravesend said:
I'm a big fan of subverted tropes, though.
Now, the ending to Fable 3 was complete bullshit, and anyone who's played knows exactly why.
this, ending A is ... ugh .... though most the events leading up to ending A are pretty awesome (blood bane can go fuck it self though)Truniron said:
must be the only one on this site that liked MGS4's ending :/
