Lamest game ending

Mortal Kombat: Armaggeddon!
Usually fighting games reward gamers with a nice CG video or some artwork depicting the characters fate. But not this one, baby! In MK:A you just see your fighter performing a weird kata while a voice-over narrates your characters fate (AND they tend to be really lame stories...)

I do agree that it's obvious there'll be DLC for it in the future. I base that on the fact there are dead end sites like the north tunnel, which lead to (I can only assume) area 51 or some other fun place in that region. As for the ending, it was okay, I like how they took the Suikoden approach and told you what happened to every faction and important character.Yureina said:
Now if you want a lame ending, go back in time to like, say, Tomb Raider 1. Check this out, F*ing win here
Assassin's Creed 2. It was so bad that I immediately said WTF.
It pretty much pulls an Indiana Jones and introduces aliens right at the last minute
I actually loved the ending of Fable 2. It was very unexpected, and being able to actually choose your destiny was a refreshing change from other games.
For lamest ending, I'm going with Ezio's ending in AC2. I accept that Desmond's story has a place in the series but Ezio deserved his own ending too. I thought the ending of Bonfire of the Vanities was much more fitting than the actual ending.

Clive Barkers Jericho. [Spoilers below]
You finally reach the final boss, thinking "I just fought through tons of Clive Barker horrors, I'm sure the boss is gonna look bitchin" only to find out that the dream sequence guy you saw in the very beginning was in fact the final boss, and he basically looks like a big black baby.
Then 2 of your team mates are instantly killed by him because he has special mind blow-ey up-ey powers, but apparently he can only use them twice because that's the only logical reason he wouldn't use it to defeat the whole team, making 2 main character deaths a result of bad game design than any relevant gameplay or plot elements
"Well maybe the final fight will be somewhat intuitive right?" Wrong. He just takes each team mates powers and uses them against you one by one, so all you have to do is jump to the next person and use their powers until he's finally beaten
"Ooookay my optimism is almost entirely gone. Maybe the ending cutscene is good?" Again, wrong. You jump into the water, swim back through the cave you came in, and then you reach the surface and look at the sky. And that's it. Game's over after that. No further explanations or clarifications just an ending that can best be described as the game writing equivalent of the game designer flashing a picture of his anus on the screen after you beat the game.

For me it would have to be:
Clive Barkers Jerico
I mean, what the hell?
You go through all that shit together and just like that the final boss comes strutting in and blows up two of your characters.
While I had no love for the guy who just uses other peoples powers, I loved playing as the shy, paranoid, innocent and yet unimanginably Smart Cole.
<spoiler=And he just blew her up>
And then after the fight what happens???
You go for a swim and suddenly end up in the middle of an ocean without one clue as to what the fuck is going on......and then that's it, game over.
That really irritated me and now just for writing this down I have found I'm pissed all over again.
Thanks for that Clive Barker.......Thanks!

tempted to say Soul Reaver 2, but since the story was actualy ended in the next game, LoK: Defiance, not gonna harp on it to bad
Paracite eve 1,
AFTER beating the Chrysler building boss -.-,
and PE2 endings kinda sucked to
Shin Megami Tensei, Digital Devil Saga 1 an 2, but mostly 2s
FFX2, the whole game really >.> but the ending was particularly ass tastic
secert of evermore -.- sighs,
Devil May Cry 2 .... -.- least 3 made up for it
and FF 8, for making the least sense of any ending i've seen
not jumping on the halo2, fable2 NWN2 band wagon cause never played them,

I LOVED the ending to Medal of Honor. It's not a "happliy ever after" kthxbai ending. It gives a sense of realism that not everything ends happily, and the good guys don't always live. People usually do die waiting for evac choppers to arrive, especially in the wars in the Mid-East.Enemy Of The State said:
I'd think the worst game ending of all time would have to be memorably bad. Mirror's Edge's entire story was so vague and lazy that the game didn't really even still register as an actual narrative by the time I got to the end.AfroNinja117 said:
It's the sort of game that makes you not only not care about the story, but forget that there ever was one in first place.
Okay, maybe you're right after all, cause on paper (screen) that sounds pretty bad.
That was pretty bad... but sadly we will never forget Dead Rising...ReservoirAngel said:
*EDIT* Or Halo 2 (stupid cliffhanger ending!).
*ANOTHER EDIT* Oh yeah, Dead Rising had "graded" endings and this one was for A.

It depends on how shittily you did. I'm guessing your entire team got slaughtered and you're blaming the game for it.HT_Black said:
OT: KotOR II. I swear that game was still in alpha.
Fallout 3, not because you couldn't play sans DLC (though that was a little annoying) but because, unless you sacrificed yourself, you got criticised for it. I have a perfectly good robot/ghoul/super mutant here who will not be effected by the mass radiation - why should I sacrifice myself when I can send them in to do the job without even a scratch on them?! Then the nice narrator at the end tells me how RL3 is the real hero. Pah! Love the game though.
Also FFXIII. Just meh.

No, actually; everyone got out, I banged Tali, and I told the Illusive Man to sit and spin until he couldn't see straight. The problem wasSuper Toast said:
that it concluded with a 2-bit morality preaching bit that made no sense in the context of the story; and this is after the BLAM boss where you fight a gigantic robotic fetus inside a big phallic spaceship run by insects. Those two, taken together, make the game's ending stupid and groan-inducing. I'm a long-time Bioware fanboy, and even I know that's a load of B.S.
Are you really telling me that's nothing worth noticing?
