Lamest game ending

[Brotherofwill]

Monkey Island 2. It was so lame and unoriginal i nearly had to tear my own face off after how much my friends raved about the game.

What? I love that ending. It's sureal as shit but it gets to you. What's really lame is how Monkey Island 3 connects to it pretending like nothing has happened. Like...wtf?

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.

Whaaat? I love that ending. It's not grand but it gets the job done and works excellently in the game's framework. All the bad guys just want friends, that's like a law of humanity.

Fallout New Vegas. Ends sort-of the same way Fallout 3 ended - with some boring slideshow with some voice-over telling you about what sort-of happens with the factions you interacted with. I doesn't even give you the option to finish all the side-quests, it just ends.

That's how all the fallouts end. At least Fallout New Vegas actually did an ending for pretty much everywhere you went.

Fallout 3 without the DLC, plus Fallout 1 by itself.
Seriously, here's how Fallout 1 ends, you beat the final boss and then the Overseer of your vault thanks you and tells you you're a hero, but you have to leave. You have the option then of killing him or not and the game ends of your character walking away in the wasteland.

really? two pages and NO ONE mentions Kotor 2?

I was going to say the same thing. Kotor 2 was abysmal. I play through all that game and all I get is the old ***** talking to me and telling what the future to come might be. Where the hell did they put the proper ending with awesome cinematics and fanfare, like in Kotor? I don't know, it was like they ran out of money to pay people and they were like, "Oops, we only have enough for that woman to have one last crappy speech and some boring shots and subtitles to go with it."

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.

Now if only BioWare had done it.. *Sigh*

I wasn't aware of that, at the time I played it, I wasn't a part of a site like this, where I can find out pretty much all the news of how stupid some parts of the industry can be.

Even rushed with a month left, Bioware most likely would have done a better job than Obsidian.

Borderlands, the game was awesome, had a lot of action and everything, then the ending was just anticlimantic

 

[mirror's edgy]

I am a big Metal Gear fan, but the entire third act of MGS2 still sounds retarded even if you can wrap you mind around what the Matrix is going on. It was a mess.
Edit: I need scissors!!!
Case in point.

Fair enough. And yes, they likely would have, given their track record over the previous decade or so.

But I completely agree, Obsidian just.. sucks when it comes to furnished games. I am slightly disappointed in BioWare and LucasArts for not sticking with each other to do KoTOR 2, but unfortunately BioWare had other commitments to deal with in that time frame..

I'm not much of a game player, but one of the games that i have played, with the lamest ending was Spyro 2 Gate way to Glimmer. I busted my ass to open some door in Dragon Shores thinking it was the way home to the dragon world, to find that it gave you a "super flame" thing.
Great, yeah. Thats a lot of help since I've already done everything. Grrr!

Still Life:

Spoiler

Spent hours chasing that damn killer and at the end: ha ha fuck off play the sequel to know who did it you dumb ***** ha ha!

SO annoyed !!!

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Assassin's Creed 2's.

No real ending just a crappy cliffhanger with awful DLC to make up for it.

 

[HereForFreeFood]

ALL of shadow the hedgehogs endings, but I guess it's my fault for expecting to find any corn in that piece of shit.

 

[Motiv_]

The original Army of Two. Both final bosses could be killed with one shot if you did it correctly.

Borderlands ending didn't bother me because it had me back in Diablo 2 mode. No matter what the ending was going to be secondary.

 

[Acton Hank]

Kane & Lynch 2. I'm not even convinced it was the real ending. It seemed as if the developers accidentally deleted about 5 hours of game time from the final product or something.

Seriously?! It took 3 FUCKING PAGES to get it out there?!

I second that and add Alone In The Dark.

 

[Xcelsior]

Mafia II, because it didn't really end ...did it? I was just left thinking wtf that's it?

 

[natster43]

Fallout 3. I think we can all agree on that. (No DLC)

I really liked the ending to Fallout 3. It was a good way to end it, having to make a choice about who should be the one to sacrifice themselves.
The lamest ending to games that I can think of would be Resident Evil 5. The ending was just bad. And the end of Gears of War 2, because of the crappy "boss fight" at the end.

 

[Reaper195]

Starcraft 2, from what I saw.

Main character kills other main character/best friend to save some ***** who last looked better with skinless wings.

 

[ultimateownage]

Quick and easy: which game you've played has got the lamest ending to it?

For me personally it was Fable 2.

Spoiler

You have somewhat of a big fight with a whole bunch of annoying dudes, then it carries on and you finally win by killing a guy who dies with one attack. It's very anticlimactic.

Some people here haven't finished the game, so putting spoilers would be appreciated. Even if it isn't exactly an important spoiler.
Stick [

spoiler] and [

/spoiler] on either side of the spoiler, like I've done to your post in the quote.

O.T. Hard to choose, there's a lot of games with lack luster endings. I didn't like the Fallout 3 ending, that was annoying as hell.

Halo 2
I know it's already been said
But I need to emphasise how bad it is.
