Game endings that just ruined almost the entire game for you.

[I-Protest-I]

Crysis 2 and Black Ops, my god I hated the endings. (Average games count right?)

No spoiler needed, just sick of seeing "GO AMERICAN MILITARY WOO!"

Borderlands
Nah, I'm kidding, I didn't even beat it. It was that bad

Fuck off, Borderlands is awesome, especially with friends! You need to find some mate...

I tried it with friends, after about two hours of the monotonous grinding, lousy weapons, poor mission design, dull art style and dreary, empty world we just figured there are better things to do with our time. Luckily the game store gave us a refund for the pos.

1. after 2 hours you meet 1 or 2 bosses, thats hardly grinding
2. lousy weapons only cos thats at the start of the game, thats generally how rpg items work, they get better
3. i dont see anything wrong with mission design
4. world is not empty by any means, just big and you get vehicles right near the start anyway

art style is an aquired taste, i personally like it but i know some people dont like the cartoony look and outlines

1. After about two hours (it may have been more), we'd reached the second city and gotten the "BIG QUEST" thing going. But by grinding I meant that every. single. mission was the same. Go to point b, kill everyone, get weapons that have nothing different about them except they throw up random arbitrary numbers on the stats. Repeat ad nauseum.

2. Borderlands is not an RPG. It's a shooter that pretends to be because suddenly the guns have "stats".

3. It's unimaginative for an RPG, boring for an FPS and not even varied enough for an adventure game.

4. The world isn't big, it's a set of massive pipes that are filled with carbon copy enemies.

And from what I hear from people who have played it through, it doesn't get any better.

1. theyre not all the same, you had to kill stuff, retrieve stuff, blow up stuff, explore stuff, what other missions can you think of that they should have included?

I can't even answer your other 3 points because they are just factually incorrect

Everything is fun with friends; that doesn't justify its poor single player campaign.
The world is dull and repetitive as only the missions can be. The vehicle physics are quite bad, the characters are just sitting there, the story sucks, and it doesn't even have the key of an action RPG: customization. You just level up

I didn't like it, but it's clear that playing with friends in coop can be fun. (In that line, I'd rather recommend L4D, though)

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days
... No, wait, that game didn't have an ending. Also, it was awful, so that just adds to the insult (For the record, I liked the first K&L.)

Also, the ending to Alone in the Dark was kind of a letdown, no matter what option you chose.

Oh, and Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. But honestly; after playing through the game, what did you expect?

The Longest Journej 2 : The Dreamfall.

It ends in cliffhanger but not your typical "or do they... ?" way.
It cries "next season coming soon" and despite years passing there's no continuation. :|

I'm pretty certain they said there will not be a sequel. Something about the game not doing well enough and piracy issues.

Tornquist said it's very likely he'll announce Dreamfall chapters this very year.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution had four equally shit endings. There was just pondering about what was going to happen, and you never got shown the actual consequences of what you did. There's a link-in to how the original Deus Ex starts that luckily made it more tolerable, but the fact that what you do seems completely inconsequential is.. argh. Bleh.

DE:HR is still my favorite game of 2011 though. The endings, the boss fights and the insta-derp melee system were the only complaints I had on the game at all.

Must say Final fantasy 9 is one of those games.

Not really the ending as such, but the Last Boss. It made no sense to the story and fealt tacked on...

That pretty much sums up all final fantasy games, I cant recall a single last boss that did make sense... ok I guess the one from 10 kinda did.

I'm gonna say that shadow hearts 2 almost was ruined for me, not by the end buy by the last 3/4ths of the game, the ending actually is what saved it for me.

Well at least you fight the main protagonist as the last boss in most Final Fantasy games, in FF9 there is this weird Colosseum looking thing that from what I could tell had little or no reason to be there.

ME2.
Human Reaper.

Then again I thought ME2 was crap from the half hour mark so I dont know why I was surprised.
SUPER MECHA MEGA BOSS FIGHT.

Quake 1. All that graphic technology, and I get the same style of ending as Doom 1, Episode 1--a game that, by that time, was 10 years old.

I personally quite liked the ending to Human Revolution. It felt like a grand epilogue though there is one problem with a button ending - most players will not pick whatever they felt fit their character most and will instead load their file and play it several times to get them all. I don't know if this is just me projecting, but I feel it would have been better with the same ending but linked to your gameplay so you can't reload and press another button. Or maybe I just like that in the end, I felt I had some power to change things. Or maybe it's just me.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

The ending to Castlevania Lords of Shadow. It basically put all the pieces together and made all the plot twist things dead for me *sadface*

Still love that game though.

 

[Carl The Manicorn]

I would have to say the game that got ruined by its ending was Arkham City. It build up to this climax and then *bam* Joker's dead. Really? But the dude who says that it was part of his plan, I have to agree. The Joker is a smart guy and he knows how to form a plan.

 

[Fappy]

Dragon Age: Origins


It wasn't the ending of the story that pissed me off though. It was the end credits.

More specifically, 30 Seconds to Mars. What the fuck was that bullshit doing in the game?

It doesn't help that they play the song TWICE during the credits.

 

[Kanova]

Fallout 3 D:

Pretty gay

 

[tzimize]

Meh, Batman's more of a villain than anything else anyways (albeit unintentionally). I liked the ending to Arkham City, because it perfectly highlighted just how hilariously bad a "hero" he is.

The best moment in Batman's history is when he was turned into a vampire and killed all of Arkham's supervillains. Yes, all of them.

OT: For me, it's Borderlands. Fucking hell, I do ALL THAT and am promised SO MUCH and I get LESS THAN SHIT as a reward? Fuck off, game.

Fucking Borderlands!!!! The least they could do was to throw in a 15 second end-movie showing a shitload of treasure or alien tech!

I do remember fighting kuja... in a very transformed state and your on the moon or something and it turns out that is where Zidane is from since its the only place where other tailed people are, but I don't remember the story reason for it, I haven't won the game in like 10 years.

It would go to Prince of Persia 2008 only that game was ruined by the combat long before the end.
Borderlands was a game about loot and rewards, the game ended with you shooting a giant monstrous vagina and having all the loot and intrigue locked away for another 1000 years (a sequel).
From Dust. what is it with Ubisoft and bad endings?
Assassins Creed 2: Seriously Ubisoft? A punch up with an old man who I decide to not kill for no reason then god tells me the only fun character isn't important then I let ANOTHER main villain escape for no reason? Then you pull a to be continued? Are you trying to get a friggin combo going?
Minecraft.
Half Life 2 episode 1: Hang on if that train didn't break for unexplained reasons earlier then this game wouldn't need to exist...
Mafia 2: Oh fuck off, this really is the WORST to be continued ever. Even Prince of Persia had more decency than this. So I kill a bunch of guys and Robert De Nero who runs into the open for no reason then Alister Tenpenny tells me my buddy needs to die and THATS IT? Tune in next time kids! No way am I gonna do that, screw you and screw your sequel. You don't get my money ever again thanks to this abysmally dull cover based shooter.
