but you have to agree, surely the 3rd ending was pure brilliance? but digress, the 1st 2 endings were -_- moments for me...
Endings You Didn't Like (Expect Spoilers)
- Thread starter Saltyk
- Start date
The ending of the Death Note anime.
When L died, obviously. Or better yet, make L win, and let Kira die.
The ending to Code Geass, it was a great anime but started to fall apart towards the end and then the main character's death is just.....gahh!!!! so anti-climatic.
The Darren Shan Chronicles novel series. Everything is basically undone by travelling to the past and stopping himself from ever getting involved.
Repo-Man (The recent movie. Although considered, I just didn't like the original either). The entire second half of the movie never actually happened...it was all just a coma dream and everything is still shit.
Rurouni Kenshin anime. Ok I actually love this both manga and anime, but season 3 seems to fall apart as a whole and the last episode is one of the most boring episodes of any anime I've ever seen. As an ending, it sucked, but as a series, it was still awesome.

I felt the same way about the Deus Ex: HR ending. Also, the ending to Inception was predictable and unsatisfying (although the second part of that was arguably the point). The ending they had seemed the only appropriate one, so maybe that could be considered an inherent flaw in the movie's concept.jw1410 said:
All the Deus Ex: Human Revolution endings. I thought they were all crap and presented in such a crap way.
I also hated how you could just pick one of four buttons at the end to cause an ending, and that you were told the outcome of it. It made me feel like no matter the choices I made in the game or how I played it, it ultimately didnt matter. I did spend some time thinking about what I would do based on what I did, but I would've much rather it worked out the ending as you went along, similar to how Mass Effect 2 worked out who lived or died in your game based on your actions.
Oh dude that immortals ending was terrible, all that build up. Then again i didn't find the movie that great , some cool action sequences but the movie lacked substance.Saltyk said:
OT : the twiling book ending sucks
nothing happens! Just like in the rest of the 4 books
movies? The three muskateers , the ending was very anti-climactic and predictable
Video games? Legend of dragoon. Something more recent? Dark souls. I love dark souls gameplay , but the good ending was just so underwhelming , i mean comon , give me a decent cut-scene at least.

I think the final choice in Apollo Justice, specifically the Guilty verdict was based on the fact that the only reason Apollo won was because of Phoenix's changing of the Justice System.
So basically you choose Guilty due to lack of evidence against the witness... I think
But seeing as you're fucking over Apollo (the protagonist) and Phoenix (the much loved protagonist of three Ace Attorney games) i still see no reason to vote Guilty. As an Ace Attorney fan it'd be like punching myself in the face for no reason.
Plus the last trial was seriously lacking the fire and intensity that all other Ace Attorney games have pulled off awesomely... I say again, two piss easy presents.
I guess it's all to paint the big bad in a "lol you can't pin this on me, you have no evidence therefore those two pieces of evidence are the only things you have" kinda way. But at the end of the day the Jury was voting Not Guilty and therefore indicting the witness as the killer was because the witness being a bit of a dick
Am i way off? Or is that the general gist of it?
I completely agree. It did so well at staying away from being a standard monster movie, and then somehow blows it all in the last 2 scenes.Jazoni89 said:
That's not what bugged me What bugged me was how you ALREADY played through the final segment before, there was nothing more added to it. But more than that, after the mission in the Villa the game just suddenly snaps full circle. No scene of you getting apprehended or anything.Dutch 924 said:
Black ops. Whatever faults the game had, I generally foudnt eh game intriguing, what with all the codes and stuff. However the ending stuck me as silly. The way you come up and the WHOLE DAMMNED US FLEET IS SITTING THERE BECAUSE FUCK YEAH AMERICA!
Just no, if you're gonna make a game on lies, deception and mindfuckery, you don't end it with a giant american flag atop a fleet of battleships.

Really? That's the part that bothered you? Not going to be vague here, because it's in spoilers and anyone who has't played it and doesn't have the sense to not click deserves to have it spoiled.king_katchit said:
I thought that made perfect sense. I mean if you're going to make the conversion gel out of moon rocks, who WOULDN'T ask "can you put a portal on the moon?" It would have been downright neglectful for Valve to not somehow address that possibility. And I think killing Wheatley would have been a bit too much. I mean he really was a bastard there at the end, but he wasn't really in control of his actions. I never really wanted him to die, no matter how much he wanted me to.
But if he had stayed there, or been anywhere near Aperture, GLaDOS would have gotten hold of him and tortured him (she says as much just before the final boss), which I also don't feel he deserved. Plus being in space leaves the slightest chance for some sort of return or cameo in other Portal of Half-Life games.

Well, what did you expect from something that was only contracted out for thirteen episodes? After the first one the Little Theatre seemed really weird/unpolished. I'm all up for the manga instead, now... which doesn't get half the plaudits it should... *grr*evilneko said:
The mangakkas planned to end it when L died, but it got a lot of peoples' backs up, so they were effectively forced to continue the story until Light's 'comeuppance'. I agree, they should've let it end, and let doujinshis have fun trying to conjecture the continuation.Aurora Firestorm said:
OT: WH40K:SM - a shitty boss fight and getting sent off in the Black Ships? Fuck you, man! (Mind you, it wasn't a particularly good game... functional at best and not that much fun.)
Effing Borderlands...
[HEADING=1]I WANT MY CACHE OF ALIEN SUPERWEAAAAPOOONSSS!!![/HEADING]
Whyyyyyy?

Whyyyyyy?
The ending to Borderlands, I mean the game didn't have much story to begin with except "There is alot of treasure in a vault, go find it" Basically what happens is you find the vault and this squid thing comes out and attacks you, you kill the squid and for no reason the vault shuts itself and you can't get anything inside. As a reward for killing the giant squid you get some piss poor weapons that are completely useless
ASYLUM not City. you should probably read a post and not think of the most recent game in a series.The_Waspman said:
As for me I have to say the first Assassin's Creed. You go through the entire game kill the final boss for Altair then the way it ends is seeing what subject 13 wrote all over the wall. They haven't even shown it sense or let you actually read any of it.
Couldn't agree with you more! THe group of friends I saw it with still talk, and argue, about this to this day!Jorl said:
As for disappointing endings?
Movie: No Country for Old Men. Maybe it was just me, but I was so damn confused.
Game: Not too sure, but if I had to pick probably RAGE.
Anything featuring what Yahtzee refers to as "Indigo Prophecy Syndrome", mainly because things with IPS are really good up until that one thing gets brought up.
And also, Rage. First you make me run around to all these places for people that I don't care about, you build up this "Alright, everything is going to pay off" feeling, and then it just ends. Id software, I know you've never been perfect about endings, but at least they usually have a bit of closure, and a feeling that you've accomplished something, even if that is just an amusing cutscene featuring the final boss exploding into kibble and a message telling you how awesome you are, also accompanied by the protagonist scowling into the distance.
Oh wait, Rage doesn't have a protagonist. It has a robot slave that instantly complies with whatever people ask of it. Sure, there's a "decline" button, but all that does is put off you doing it, because SOMEBODY has to do all these fetch quests.

Movie : Skyline - What a bullsh*t ending, I know it's supposed to have some other meaning, but some alien films need to end with "FUCK YEA AMERICA!" As for Game : Stalker: Clear sky - After all that?!?! Whata the Hell!
