For X-mas I bought me Far Cry 2 for a couple of €'s and I've been playing it in my spare time. Yesterday I finally finished the game and I was really dissapointed. What a bad ending!!!! It made few to no sence.

So I was wondering, what game had the worst ending ever?

Borderlands

The first game that comes to mind for me is Halo 2. I was just thinking "Hell yeah, now it's about to kick off!" Then the credits started rolling. I was not impressed.

:mellow: Yeah, there's a lot of that going around it seems.

I recently played Divinity 2 (the basic version, not the new release with the impossible-to-find expansion included).

That ending was annoying. They clearly intended for the "Flames of Vengeance" expansion to be the actual finish of the game. :/

Ending of regular Div2:

Yay?

Yeah, the was a bit disappointing.

I tend to be satisfied with game endings for the same reason I am always satisfied when I see a movie in theaters. At the movies I have the, "I just paid like $15 and spent two hours here so I'm going to enjoy it," mentality and it has to be truly terrible for me to dislike it. With games, I have a similar, "I paid for this game and put a lot of time into it so I'm going to like it!" mentality. I haven't played Far Cry 2 so I don't know how bad that is, but I could tell you what game had a great ending: Jak and Daxter (the original of course)

Starsky and Hutch: Any game that ends with disco dancing svcks

There's been so many

KOTOR 2 will alway stick in my mind, not because it was bad, but because it was so abrupt, left loads of unanswered questions and was clearly a sign of a rushed game and cut content.

I'm going to say Far Cry 2 as well (either though I hate everything about the game).

Opposing Force final boss was quite underwhelming, great game though.

Ooh, that reminds me of the old PSOne game Xenogears. Great game, but they ran out of budget and time, so the second disk (probably would have been the last 1/4 of the game if they'd finished it) was almost all simple shots of characters sitting around narrating how the story ended. With a periodic break to a boss fight. :sadvaultboy:



(Best ending I can think of is Mass Effect 1. So cinematic & stirring. )

Metal Gear Solid 2, hands down. The last leg of the game can easily be completed in 20 minutes, but if you watch all of the cutscenes, it lasts for about 3 hours. And all throughout, it waxes rants faux-philosophical BS, completely discards previous things that were mentioned earlier (and which also involved overlong cutscenes), doesn't explain anything, and then has the gall to portray itself as a happy ending despite how absolutely dismal everything is.

After that, Metal Gear Solid 4. At first, it's quite good. Near every loose end is tied up, every hole covered, every thread tied. There's a real sense of closure, equal parts happiness and tragedy, and the whole thing is very poetic, a fine and fitting way to end a series once and for all, the credits start rolling...oh wait, it's a fake-out, there's more. And now another it's another hour-long monologue that uses a lot of words to say little, explains things that didn't need to be explained, and otherwise ruins much of the drama. [censored] Christ, Kojima, you just can't leave well enough alone.

That ending really ticked me off but not nearly as bad as Gears of War 2.

Far Cry 2 was bad and so was Borderlands both of which have been mentioned already. Other then that I would probably say Torchlight not that it really has one. But the final boss aside from taking forever to kill just had nothign to follow it, you just basically get warped back to the town and thats it.

Civ V, since they removed one of the series' best features: playing back the timeline of events once you win. In previous Civs it was always fun to see what went on across the rest of the world behind the fog of war, and without it my Civ V campaign sort of fizzled to a close instead of ending with a bang. Disappointing end to a mediocre game.

Yeah, especially since "sence" isn't actually a word.

:P

Also, I'd imagine that this thread should be renamed to Spoiler Alert: The Disappointment.

Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust

I want this game. I remember the old computer ones were kinda fun. Well, me and my cousins trying to answer questions in order to play was fun lololo

The running sequence of Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Especially since it can be nearly impossible because of some issues with it.

System Shock 2's final boss fight was underwhelming (and the following cutscene strange). Which is a shame because the rest of the game is great.

Risen.
"Hey, you know that character you've created and been trying to define throughout the game through his choice of weapons and combat style? Screw that! Use this weapon, wear this armour and go fight the big-bad in a specific way that'll be exactly the same for everyone who fights this battle.

I agree with KOTOR 2, although the game mechanics were improved and the main quest of the game were almost as good as KOTOR, both the beginning and the ending of the game were sooooooo poorly done. Boring, anticlimactic, without a shred of common sense or apparently any awareness of what is good game design.

KOTOR 1 beginning: You wake up on a spaceship that is being ambushed and you must try to make it out, and then you get stuck on an occupied planet were the upper class lives on top of slums were the poor suffer, creating tons of really cool side stories and conflict. Awesome!

KOTOR 2 beginning: You wake up on an empty boring space station with boring non-threatening small robots trying to kill you, with a boring grandma boring you and a boring Han Solo wannabe, then you spend HOURS going trough empty boring corridors and mineshaft (TWICE). It gets slightly more interesting once you get on an empty ship (or is it?) and then you go trough the same area (again!) and get out....... And then everyone hates you! What a chore!


KOTOR 1 ending: A huge desperate space battle is going on while you duel arch-nemesis darth Malak in his ancient super-weapon while he's svcking the power of fellow Jedi to make himself more powerful. Awesome!

KOTOR 2 ending: After spending almost forever activating computers as a small silent boring drone, and going trough what is apparently a Sith school (There is no tension or... logic in what happens since no one ever tells you why they are attacking you or what is going on. You are just mowing anonymous identical Siths down for no reason..... Remember when both friend and foe characters in KOTOR and Baldur's Gate had some personality and would sometimes speak, making you interrested in what's going on?...... that was fun......) and then you have a pretty interesting fight against an immortal guy who you must convince to die, and then you kill the pathetically weak one-armed Grandma from the beginning of the game, who proceeds to give you a wall of text supposed to tell you what's going to happen next (Argh........ boring) and then you somehow fly your previously shown to have been destroyed ship away in the sunset........ wat!
:banghead:

I guess it goes without saying that there are gonna be massive spoilers in this thread huh

Fallout 3-both endings

Fallout 3's original ending was good (The slides were godawful, but Broken Steel butchered that.

KotoR 2

The entire Halo Series (save for the first game)

Deus Ex Invisible War

Definitely Metal Gear Solid 2. Oh boy, does that ending try to be as pretentious as a philosophy major in an ivy league school. There's only one word to describe that ending, bullpoop.

The most recent Prince of Persia. The game was fun, and a nice ride, but the final destination made me writhe in pain!

Persona 3, journey and answer. Especially the answer part. [censored] Aegis, she caught the main character's emo.
