Fallout 3
Reason: Charon's [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Charon_(Fallout_3)] refusal to enter the control room.
I don't care the game ends at that point, but how it ends is just horrible. A ghoul, immune to radiation, brainwashed to follow every command of the person holding his contract, refuses to do what you say to force you to enter that control room.

mmm... bad endings.... lemme think.
Well, for movies, I can't recall any TERRIBLE ones. But I was disapointed with the end of Dark Knight. They killed off my beloved Two-Face too quickly.
As for gaming...
Shenmue 2. I'll give you a run down... SPOILERS!
To those who say that Halo 2 had the worst ending ever... at least it had a sequel... and closure.

-You beat the big boss in Kowloon, where the game should've ended.
-Ryu Hazuki takes a ferry into inland China. (Guilin)
-Ryu saves a girl who was trying to save a fawn in a stormy river.
-Ryu and the girl, Ling Shenhua, greet and decide to go back to her village.
-At least one and a half hours of walking, collecting twigs, random quick time events, and asking Shenhua if "she likes flowers".
-You arrive at her house, where you find out that Shenmue is a tree.
-You stay the night.
-You follow her to a cave.
-This happens. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1x9X7Z7EOA]
-Roll credits.

The game itself was great, but I hated the ending of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
First, your on the last dungeon of the game, and you pick up tons of rare, awesome, expensive loot, but you can't scroll/teleport back to the shops to sell any of it. Besides all the bullshit that causes, you have your last boss fight here, and then, while the last dungeon starts falling apart(how original), your heroes are teleported into the middle of some woods.
There, you are surrounded by maybe five or six bad guys. And what do our heroes do? Our heroes that have fought across burning deserts and into dark deep dungeons, felling beholders early in their career and wasting hundreds of beast and bandits?
Well, the beginning of the sequel, its indicated that they are, get this, CAPTURED!
Makes no sense, fucking retarted.

I tought the ending of There Will Be Blood was excellent, especially DDL's "I'm finished."Ratman95 said:
How about the end of the new Riddick game?
That sucked.
You beat the bad guys, Riddick and Lynn get on an elevator, and...credits. That's it. No indication as to where they go, what becomes of them, what they do with the merc ship full of Borg "ghost drones"--hell, you never even find out what happened to Johns. The game just stops.
The accuracy and quality of an ending is based on how the writer wants you to feel after the story has concluded. If an ending feels bad or a let down, then it is a good ending if the writer wants you to feel in that negative fashion. Unless a writer clearly states that he was disappointed by the audiance reaction, the ending is good and got the job done. The quality of an ending is based on how the writer feels about the audiance reaction, nothing more. We as an audiance don't dictate that.
Going to have to say the 3rd Matrix... that explained nothing at all! And the last fight wasn't even that spectacular, oh well, you kind of felt the series was dying towards that bit so it wasn't that surprising unfortunately.
I think I have a right to complain if a restaurant serves me a lousy meal--I'm paying for it, aren't I? By the same token, I think that an audience that invests its time, money, and/or interest in a story, especially a story that succeeds in drawing them in and engaging their emotions and whatnot, does get to have some say as to whether an ending is good or not. I don't mean to suggest that writers should always let the audience have their way by giving them nothing but happy endings and sunshine and puppies and rainbows all the time, but if an ending doesn't make sense in the context of the story, if it leaves plot threads unresolved, if it just plain sucks, we're allowed to point that out.Gamer137 said:
GAME: 'The Sim' (the original sim game in the MSDOS days). All of a sudden 'You have won!' with absolutely no closure.
MOVIE: 'They Drive By Night'. What the heck's with putting Humphery Bogart's character in a truck crash where he loses an arm, turns him into a gruff introvert then at the end he becomes some cushy softy that attempts laughter. *gag*

Extreme spoiler. The end game sequence see's that all of your work for the last 10 hours is completely erased. You got round looking for shitty light seeds to heal the land and at the end you release the evil god again to try and impress you're crappy female companion. Kinda sounds like life don't you think? XD
Honestly? Ummm, although an excellent game, probably Shining Force. Max sinks with the fortress and then randomly appears again after the credits....teh fuck?
