"Bad" Endings.

I liked how Heavy Rain had an achievement for "getting right up to the end of the game... and dying". Heavy Rain did alternate endings really well, I think. Things you had done, or failed to do, a third of the way into the game, affected the ending. Dragon Age (1) did it well too, I'm told, although I've only seen one ending. It was a damn good one though. After I finished Dragon Age I spent ages wondering what my character would do afterwards, making up a sequel in my head. Sad or what!

Well, you can always purchase Awakening. It basically continues right after Dragon Age Origins.

Yes, but it's not the sequel I want. The sequel I want is set five years later and my character is tracking down Morrigan because he wants to meet his son/daughter.

I just think this good/bad ending thing is just a phase. Soon technology will improve to the point where game companies can be bothered to add in many more shades of grey in between the black and white.

This, definitely.

I had pretty much the same thing happen. I was told that the meter would influence the ending but I figured if you were on the red side he would go for catherine and if not then he'd fix things with katherine so i had it near the middle and got a shit ending. pretty disappointing.

bad endings, look no further then far cry 2, worst game ending ever

Even worse than Disgaea's 2 worst ending?

Oh god, I remember that. The sounds he makes when he's eating them is gross.

It doesn't help that it is mostly a lighthearted game in the rest of the time.

Also, i just can't get behind, why they give you the choice of cheating on you girlfriend in an undefined time span while still calling the "free," option, a neutral option. I don't know if that's just the japanese story writer who had a huge headache, during the production or if it really, REALLY, just is the japanese' (japaneses?) weird look, at a functioning relationship.
Keep in mind this IS the game where you run away from a monster, trying to eat you with it's butt cheeks.
