Risen. The game is amazing, but the ending (no spoilers) didn't use any of the talents you had learned up to that point.

Halo Wars had a pretty fail ending if I remember correctly. Oh wait, not a good game.

kingdom hearts 2. the game was repetative if you were trying to get everything but it still was fun and although the final boss fight (even on proud mode) wasn't that hard (unless you were struggling to stay awake early in the morning) the fight was mostly epic. the ending though with the birth by sleep trailor was bull. in the original your left on a huge fucking cliff hanger to thinking wtf was that, and in the remix version you see this beyond epic trailor but, then you see mickey mouse staring at the fight in the end which kinda ruins it. (kinda makes u wonder wtf he was doing while the keyblade warriors were getting there ass handed to them)

no spoliers but after all the effort of, oh i dunno, FIGHTING HELL, that certain female romantic interests would be more happy but whatever and the lame 'to be continued'? :/
What confused me most about the ending is:

How the hell are they going to make Purgatory into a good sequel, let alone a good video game? What are you going to fight?
i'm only slightly aware of what's in purgatory but i don't think it'll be anything like what was in hell, hell on earth would be fun i guess

dead rising
main character fails at outing the gov., will eventually become a zombie, and now we dont even get to play him in the sequel. instead we get some new guy.
There are multiple endings for dead rising dude.


Also Fallout 3, it was so underwhelming.

Assassin's Creed was ready to be my game of the year......
then they pulled some hyper-advanced civilization out of goddam nowhere for the absolute wiredest ending I have ever seen.

Beyond Good and Evil.

Nnnnrrrggghhh.

I mean, I loved the game.
Seriously, I played it 'till the disc broke, and then it turns out Jade was not who she thinks she was.
Alrighty, can roll with that.

But then they pulled that shit Pey'J being infected and all.
Mindfuckery of a kid's mind ensued.

Bioshock 1.
Yup. I play through this epic game with awesome gameplay and gorgeous environments and get a 2-minute-long ending that seemed like it was written in 10 seconds... by a blindfolded child being strangled by an angry farmer

Halo 2.

Yeah, easy to near impossible bosses and cliffhangers suck.
This. Seriously, my friend and I played it all the way through on launch day, and we were fucking PISSED! Borderlands rates up there, as does Fallout 3 pre-DLC.
OMG!!!! Borderlands ending pissed me off so badly! it was such an anti-climatic ending that also didnt give you any guns. the fight up to the final boss was epic but the boss was piss-easy and the ending was sooo bad...

Definitely Metal Gear Solid 3.

Big Boss finally gets to nail Eva, but she betrays Snake and says that she is a spy for the Chinese.

Hmmm,

Revenant - After all that effort, the girl you were trying to save gets killed.

Army of Two: 40th Day - Mass carnage or your death, no boss fight or special event which distingusihes it from the rest of the game

Bioshock 2 - I hate games which make you a martyr. No real bosses in this game to end it.

Knights of the Old Republic 2: I hate endings which are not finished even more!

Wet - A QTE is the final level? No real bosses again.

Actually thinking about it, how mnay games have I played recently that haven't had an end boss or even a single boss through out the course of the game? Right I think I definately need to get Final Fantasy XIII when it comes out, that will have bosses.

If I HAD to nitpick, I would say Kingdom Hearts 2, for this reason; I went through 40+ hours of boss battles, cutscenes, and battles, and Sora and Kairi didn't kiss ONCE?!?!?!? Jeez, it's obvious they love each other, let's see them show it!

Also, the Secret ending of Aquaria was a bit of a let down.

Well, honestly, the books follow the same pattern as I would guess the games will.

Dante's Inferno, having the most interesting content, was the most enjoyable book and will probably be the most enjoyable of the inevitable series they're making out of the games.

The books Purgatorio and Paradiso, while not bad, were pretty boring compared to Inferno. I mean, after you've seen all the cool stuff in Hell, all the dredgery of Purgatory and the fluffy sunshiny clouds of Paradise are a let down.

Now, compare that to the video game series. Unless they have Hell break loose into Purgatory and Paradise, which would be just way too contrived for me (but I think that's what they'll do), what are you going to fight in Purgatory and Paradise? The Penitent? Angels? God? I mean, there's very, very little to choose from enemies-wise.

Their best bet would be to make Purgatory and Paradise very creative and visually-stunning puzzle games.

Edit: I should note that I didn't find the final level of Inferno to be a real disappointment. My only issue is with the epilogue.

Halo 2, Halo 3, Assassin's Creed 2 (just stupid...), Mass Effect 2 (even when you save everyone), Metal Gear Solid 2 (far too convoluted, and pales in comparison to the amazing ending on MGS3).

To be honest, most great games can have the shittiest of endings, but luckily it doesn't necessarily sour the game.

Well, there's a sequel popping along, so you should be glad they left that in there :)

I have to admit that one of my favorite games ever - Final Fantasy 7 - didn't really have a satisfying ending. As soon as you defeat Sephiroth, the game cuts to 500 years later showing the planet in peace, and you're left with all these questions like - Did Cloud and Tifa do it? What kind of jobs did they get after saving the world?? etc..

Fortunately I think the developers realized this and that's why they made the movie "FF Advent Children," to answer these questions. Good game, but I wish it explained more in the end.

call of duty 4. I got all flustered wondering how the hell I was going to win the big battle for it to just end... not impressed with that bit
