OT: Crackdown: Like the rest of the game, it was unfullfilling.

You battle through what has been lauded as one of the worst games of all time for...this.
IQ dropping plot, dismal graphics, and horrid controls for...this.
It's like the cop slapping you for having your wallet stolen.

Far Cry 2 - the ending make no real sense whatsoever. It involves a relatively mediocre fight against the AI, to achieve an objective you don't really care about.
A close runner up would be the ending to Dragon Age: Awakenings. Don't get me wrong, I love Dragon Age and all things Dragon Age related. But the ending to Awakenings involved your character VERY AWKWARDLY walking away from the slain end boss with a bemused expression on their face. Then it just cuts to some rather lame splash screens detailing what became of who. I was in shock - literally, you kill the boss, get about 5 seconds of the boss screaming in agony, before dying, and then another 4 seconds of your character stumbling away from the dead boss with a perplexed expression on his/her face. It was just jarring.

Fable. Fucking. 2.
I semi-enjoyed the game up until that moment. And then I was just.. disappointed beyond words for a day.

I have to almost agree with this, it was really terrible and had no to connection to anything. I don't quite agree with you though because I still think it beat out Ghostbusters for the NES.Ldude893 said:
You do realize Obsidian never actually finished the game properly, right? LucasArts rushed them halfway through for the Christmas holidays, so they had to half arse the last part of the game in about a months time. They had no choice, or they would be violating contract. However fucking stupid the situation was at the time.Sonic Doctor said:
Now if only BioWare had done it.. *Sigh*
Secret of Evermore. Has the biggest cock slap, "oh, seems like that was all a dream. Oh well, lets go home doggy" ending. Narg, narg, narg. I hate those endings!!
Have to say though, my rage was only so large because I had absoloutly loved the game. So it aint all that bad.

Let's see:
I suppose Pokemon. Only if you count finally getting all the Pokemon as the end. You go to the designer and you're expecting some kind of super rare Pokemon like Mew or something and all he does is show you some certificate saying you did. Needless to say I was pretty pissed.
Shadow the Hedgehog was pretty bad. You go through all the endings, and once you get to the last one, finally expecting to get the real ending. And at the end he basically says, "I am Shadow and I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT MY PAST AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU!!". The end.
The one that really sticks out in my mind though is Little Big Planet. You beat the giant robot thing at the end, he runs away and you're thinking there's going to be one ore really huge, epic fight, but then it turns out all he wanted was friends, but then the king pops out and says "Everyone can be your friend!" Yay! friendship and happiness for everyone!!! This is bad enough but when you're at this point expecting an even more epic fight this just sucked. Worst ending ever.

Crysis was pretty disappointing - the game generally had good human enemies. It sort of sucked once you start fighting the aliens, and that "shoot the boss in its weak spot" ending, at the time, hadnt been seen in games since 8bit consoles, so it felt really cheap. Since then a lot more games have gone for the same approach so its more normal now, but especially the "set it up for the sequel" ending to crysis kind of blew.
Agree with borderlands too, something of an anticlimax, and it was cheap not actually letting you in the vault after all that set up eg the whole game.

another for fallout 3, i was so pissed. i didn't know that broken steel continued the story, but i was still pretty mad. especially with "and so the vault dweller dies*broken steel occurs* but no he didn't, he just passed out for two weeks, even tho he supposedly took enough radiation to take out ten men."
I can certainly understand why people disliked that ending, though I was a little apathetic personally. All I can say is this: if you can bear playing NWN2 again, get the Mask of the Betrayer expansion pack. It helps rectify the ending of NWN2 but more importantly its own story is astonishing, easily the best Forgotten Realms story since Baldur's Gate 2. Its written by the same guy who wrote Planescape: Torment, if thats any incentive to you.JamesBr said:
On topic, I'm going to be dull and settle with those who were disappointed by Fallout 3. The whole main storyline of that game was fairly tedious and the ending left me feeling so bored of the whole thing.
Yeah I've heard some people say Halo 2.
Kill a brute with a shield who doesn't want to die. Yay
Also when I first played that level I was pissed. I wanted to drive the Scarab so bad!
And the ending of Super Mario Galaxy 1. Boring boss fight.
(And I think Yahtzee had something to say about Princess Peach still refusing to put out...)
