The Force Unleashed 2 is supposed to have better ending than KotOR? After finding this gem it was quite easy to discount the whole list as complete and utter bullshit. Also, the presence of any Call of Duty titles in the first ten was a dead giveaway. Do they really expect that people will take this list seriously?
Call of Duty: Black Ops Tops Guinness' "Greatest Videogame Ending" List
- Thread starter Mike Kayatta
- Start date
Seeing some of these titles really makes me think that at least half of those "13 000 gaming fans" were taking the piss. I had trouble remembering how many of the listed games actually ended. Also, with all those CoD games listed, what stopped them from including MW3? List was probably compiled by editors with a soft spot for games they played as kids, and their children. Good laugh, but nothing I'd take seriously.
At first I thought Black Ops being at number one was absurd, but look at this list, its pretty broken. AC1's ending over AC2's? Really? Force Unleashed II. If you mean the dark side ending, sure. Pokemon... Maybe it because I've never beaten a pokemon game but, you might as well throw in Angry Birds as well. And Half Life 2 Episode 2? I heard that that ending pissed people off. 4 Call of Duty games yet only one Final Fantasy game on the list.
Yeah its broken in my eyes.

ugh, I hated the black ops ending, especially the over saturated matte painting looking final shot.
who voted on this? 12 year olds?

What the hell is Guinness thinking here? Don't they know that this list is ENTIRELY SUBJECTIVE, and thus is wildly inaccurate on a month-to-month basis?
What?
WHAT???
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT GAME DOING ON THIS LIST?!! DID APRIL FOOLS COME EARLY?!
FALLOUT 3?? ONE OF THE BEST ENDINGS?! THAT GAME HAS ONE OF THE WORST FUCKING ENDINGS EVER!
And I do mean one of the absolute WORST.
It has plot holes fucking EVERYWHERE, terrible buildup, a forgettable nameless antagonist with no real motivations, and the reason for it even happening to begin with doesn't make any goddamn sense!! If there's any proof that this list is complete bullshit, it's that.
Honestly, this is nothing more than a popularity list; it has fuck-all to do with the specific ending or qualities thereof. This is the sort of list you get when you ask a bunch of children and teens what their favorite games are, and most of this list is chock full of what they're mostly likely to have played in the last 5 years; not what necessarily ENDED well for them.

EXACTLY. Black Ops endings is so awesome that you cant even remember it..........oh wait. Maybe you cant remember it because it so generic and awful that its the same as looking at an Eldrich AbominationRiobux said:
I can understand Super Metroid being on the list but no Deus Ex? or even Silent Hill 2?? If it is about tragic endings then its either Deus Ex, Silent Hill 2 or IJI on the Nº1 spot. But we all know already that nothing (i repeat) NOTHING beats IJI on the most emotional endings of all time (maybe Bastion)
Play IJI.Astalano said:I swear, every time I read a news item about gaming I just want to slit my wrists.
Its free and tons of fun and emotions for normal a girl stuck in a bad situation at the end of the world
Your faith on humanity will be restored. Believe me, i am a misanthrope supreme and even i fell bad for humanity in this game.
Of the games on the list that I've actually played. I would subjectively rate them in the following order relative to one another based on endings cutscenes, build-up, final boss etc, basically everything that feels attached to the last stretches of the game. With MGS games this usually starts earlier than most.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 1
Metal Gear Solid 4 (Microwave hall, final boss, emotional scenes; all amazing. It gets REALLY kooky though)
Assassin's Creed
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Final Fantasy 7
Assassin's Creed II
God of War
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (great game; but the ending is just the Prince erasing the events of the game)
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Sonic the Hedgehog
Keep in mind these are only ordered in relation to each other.

If somebody asked me to pick the #1 best or my #1 favorite ending (off the top of my head) I'd probably say Lost Planet. Looking at my shelf I'd say Lost Planet or Silent Hill 2 or Arkham City (because: Mark Hamill) or Halo:CE (seriously, why Reach?) or DMC3 or even Star Wars: Bounty Hunter
Again, all off the top of my head and I don't recall seeing any of those on the list. Granted a few of those games had very memorable endings but I can't help but notice that most of those are less than 10 years old. What no Ultima games are taken under consideration for having the "best ending ever"? I don't remember seeing any horror games in there either.... or obscure japanese games. Did nobody else enjoy Persona? Wth guys? wth.
You fight a jedi as Jango. I think she kills you in 2 or 3 hits. Definitely memerable
Skyrim has an ending?HavoK 09 said:
OT:
Best ending, Red Dead Redemption, hands down. First game to properly bring me to tears. Even when I was going through my JRPG phase Aerith's death in FFVII didn't make me cry. It was sad, tragic even, but it didn't make me cry in the same way RDR did. Though I'm still not sure what part got to me the most, 'The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed' or the credits after 'Remember My Family'.
Now, how's about that PC release Rockstar? I still can't use a controller to any decent level for anything that requires aiming.
I'd say last portion. When I think Red Dead ending (which in my opinion is the best) i think of the barn finale. Gameplay goes on, and there is another secret-ish ending after that, but the real ending is that scene. Blew me away.Swyftstar said:
