Least Satisfying Video Game Ending

[JakePwnsAtLife]

Prince of Persia had a pretty bad ending.

The original one? yeeeahhhh. I wasn't thrilled with it myself.

 

[Archaon6044]

Fable 2.
No boss fight
No closure
No Justice for Reaver
too many unanswered questions left at the end
generally crap

 

[Davey Woo]

Halo 3.
"Wake me when you need me."
What kind of last line is that for a game. And on top of that, they're in HALF of a Spaceship floating to nowhere and everyone on Earth? thinks them to be lost/dead.

 

[Rossmallo]

Fallout 3. No explanation required.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Star Ocean: Till the end of time.

Just...What?

 

[experiment0789]

I wouldn't say the 'worst ever', but Fable 2's ending recently disappointed me chunks

Spoiler

okay, so we were theresa's evil pawns the entire game. WTF?!

Spoiler

At least you had fight near the end of fable 1, in fable 2 you just press a button while he stands in front of you not doing anything! I might like to play fable 1 again, but with an ending like fable 2's I don't think ill ever play it again.

On an unrelated note how did you get your answer hidden in a Spoiler click to view button?

Spoiler

you need to close your tag. For example:

(spoiler) and (/spoiler), except instead of parenthesis, use brackets. So it'd be like

Spoiler

and [/sp......

Fallout 3, Only beacuse you can't carry on and I had to go back 5 levels to my last save...

 

[Brown Cap]

There are millions upon millions of awful endings - my tops are the following:

F.E.A.R. 2 - Awesome Game, Yet the ending leaves so many questions

Resistance 2 - Spectacular sequel, yet also has a big cliffhanger

 

[Jumplion]

Killzone 2 really did have a pretty bad ending.

Spoiler: Killzone 2 ending

While Scolar Visari being killed was pretty awesome, after that it was just.........what?

Being a huge cliffhanger nonwithstanding, it was just lackluster. It showed Sev on the steps of Visari Palace, then zoomed out to show more Helghast troops and drops ships going in.

1: I was thinking "oh god, there's more?" when I saw it. Killzone 2 was awesome, but thinking of how there's going to be even more and more doesn't really fill me up with glee that much.

2: It just gave no closure to the whole thing.

It was pretty lackluster if yuo don't want to click on the spoiler tag.

Fallout 3. Basically just went "Grats u win, oh btw we spent all our time developing vats and train stations so we wont bother with a cutscene, but enjoy the slide show!".

You know, I was actually expecting this when they touted the amount of endings (they advertised hundreds) you'll have. I just went "oh, cool, it'll be like in Arcanum". I remember actually posting about this on the boards way before Fallout 3's release but nobody really took me seriously.

It really isn't the ending cutscene (or lack thereof) that's the problem, it's the last choice that makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[boomo_lao]

GoW 2, that last boss was just a cutscene where you held down the trigger, rather lame compared to RAAM

The whole main quest is a joke. The game itself is fun, but you can finish it in like 3-4 hours. So it's sidequest after sidequest and going postal in Rivet City...

Halo 2.

It ends with the start of a battle we don't get to see. The beginning of Halo 3's story mode starts at the end of the said battle. The only way to know what happened during the battle is to buy the novel.

Might have well just said "buy our merchendise to continue."

 

[Don't taze me bro]

Eye of the Beholder. It is an old game, but a page of text does not constitute an ending, and I still vividly recall how disappointed I was.

For whatever reason I vividly remember an ending cutscene where you're given the titular eye of the beholder as thanks for saving Waterdeep.

Then again, that was the Amiga version I played.

Yeah, it was the PC version i completed.

 

[Zaydin]

Yeah, cliffhanger endings are annoying. Like the end to CoD 4. You don't know what happens to Soap or Captain Price. Instead, they give a pointless mention of some of the things from the game.

I think the point of that was that Master chief more or less went full circle. The game Trilogy finished where it started. Besides MC isnt the only person in the entire story, its time he was laid to rest, move on to another character.

 

[Bat Vader]

Spoiler.

GTA IV's ending. I want to know what happens to Bulgarin.

 

[JaguarWong]

I finished Deadly Creatures last night.

A great looking game that suffers by virtue of a lack of motivation offered to the player... and despite having gorgeous in game graphics that are used to unravel the story for the entirety the ending FMV is pre-rendered and horribly compressed.

Not only does this break immersion but you can only just make out what's going on so the point being made is completely fudged.

I can't remember the last time I felt so let down by a game.

Fallout 3

I think Bethesda spent too much time on creating the engine and when it came to creating the game they had to tack something on, the game itself is amazing and some of the story driven peices are excellent however the ending........WHY? was such a baaaaad ending if you can call it that!
