Terrible Endings?

[Akytalusia]

the ending to jets n guns gold is pretty horrible.

Spoiler

the bad guy successfully blows up the universe because he failed to enslave it due to your meddling and goes back in time to try to enslave it again, you follow him and defeat him mid-transit and end up back at the begining of the game on a harder difficulty to do it all over again. this happens everytime you reach the end... so.. you can never win. you just have to play forever.

The movie "Knowing", I really, really liked the movie, until that stupid out of nowhere twist in the end...

 

[The Lost Big Boss]

i thought Super 8 was a great movie 2/3 of the way thru but then it took a turn for the worse. Didnt like the end of Halo 3 either. Master Chief and Cortana are floating through space, forever. Lame

I take it you haven't seen the Halo 4 trailer...

The Halo 4 trailer has nothing to do with the Halo 3 ending

Uhhhh...

Spoiler

I'm not sure if you understand how these things work. 1>2>3>4

As in, the ending of Halo 3 has John going to sleep in a cryo pod, then being woken up in Halo 4 by Cotana because they are crashing into a planet. You know, the same one that was shown in the Halo 3 ending.

Don't really want to be the one to say this, but we honestly have a "Worst ending" at least once a week.

But to answer your question, Fable 2 had a bad ending and I really liked the game. But LA Noire had an even worse ending, and I hated that whole game.

 

[chaosyoshimage]

I'm surprised the original Neon Genesis Evangelion series ending hasn't been mentioned yet.

My kid sister at the time asked me if I was actually watching some sort of self-help video. =(

Congratulations!

Honestly, I loved it, but I'm crazy into Psychology and crap...

Code Geass: Main character dies in the most anti-climatic way possible.

Did you, like, watch a different show than me?

 

[mental_looney]

L.A. Noire once it got into arson it felt like they just ran out of time and the ending was terrible. I hated it, felt it had very little connection to the rest of the game and came out of nowhere.

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

The ending to The Mist. Edit: Never mind I learned what the spoiler text looks like.

Spoiler

Anyway what is so stupid about it is that after all that struggling to survive the main protagonist shoots his two old friends, his son, and his love interest thinking that this would spare them the pain of having to suffer at the claws and teeth of the monsters that had been chasing them the whole movie. Then the U.S Military arrives and repels the monsters from the area making his killing of his loved ones entirely pointless. That pissed me off.

Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion.

I'm pretty sure that was the show. I could be wrong....I mean the only other code geass media out there is manga, novels, and games, of which only the manga and anime made it to america.

Being simply stabbed and tumbling down a stage is not climatic or fitting for the character and neither was the dialogue.

The ending should've been soemthing more along the lines of mech battle witha battleship or some kind of epic death.

The awesomeness of the show was undone by this ending for me.

50 episodes for a crap ending in my opinion.

He made a self sacrifice, Lelouch was Jesus the whole time! I don't really consider that anti-climatic, in fact, given the nature of the show, I think dying in a simple mech battle would have been pretty anti-climatic. Although, crazy fans like to believe he's alive on the orange farm living happily ever after. I am not one of those crazy fans and neither is the series director...

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

- carnivale - was planned to have 6 seasons, only made 2... bastards!

I was royally pissed when they canned that show, and it was getting so good too! Grrrr....

OT: Borderlands had a pretty shitty ending and I loved that game, but that ending was like a kick to the throat.

Battlestar Galactica (the new one) ending irritated the hell out of me, why did they string me along for years only for that turd of an ending?!

 

[The Pinray]

Borderland's ending was complete garbage. I loved the game, which is why it stung so badly, ha ha.

I truly hope that one day you will come to appreciate the significance of plot and augmentation over fighting and flashy battle sequences.

Well I'm not a crazy fan, but I did like the series to a point. The pace of the show to me felt like we were heading for once last battle, like the Battle of A Boao Qu in the original Gundam but instead it's like the writer got lazy and decided to just kill him off like he was another background character who didn't deserve an epic death.

Oh, just remembered another ending.

Stargate Universe....the only Stargate in the series that earns my contempt. First season, everything was decent. Second season, start off ok...starts getting a bit bumpy and then the ending.....because the had to cancel, we are left with just as many questions as we had going in.

I love story. Story is the most important aspect of anything to me, whether it be novel or video game.

My problem is in anticlimatic endings. It's like waiting for that expensive meal you've been dying to try only to find out after eating it that you could've ordered from the value meal at McDonald's and gotten better quality.

Just remembered another one...

John Doe: Ok I'm partially lying. The story was good and it ends pretty decently, but it was cancelled and the ending really only VAGUELY answers some uestions in the series and then the writers come out and admit that they were winging it most of the time and there was never anything really panned out for an ultimate ending.

 

[Fanfic_warper]

OK just to generalize: Endings that are the result of series cancellations and end with just as many questions as you had going into the series.

 

[Watchmacallit]

Desu Ex Human Revolution. Won't say anything but yeah, final level/boss/ending were all pretty crap compared to how good the rest of the game was.

 

[Watchmacallit]

Movie: I Am Legend... They completely killed the whole meaning of the film

Game: Borderlands... A fun game but the ending.... gah.

Watch the alternate ending, much better IMO. They tried to get the proper meaning out.

 

[Dark Knifer]

The ending for the anime, Soul Eater...

Spoiler

It has a dramatic build up with the big bad guy fighting all the main characters then systematically beating them and then the protagonist beats him with a punch. Not even a super punch or anything, just a punch... So, so lame...

 

[Lzryde]

either Borderlands or Fallout 3 or New Vegas.

not in the since that i hated Fallouts endings per se, i just dont like how you cant free roam or continue playing w/o DLC.

but movie wise? either Signs, Hide and Seek or High Tension

Ugh, Borderlands. Thanks for reminding me.

Hey, you hear when the water's gonna come back on?

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

i thought Super 8 was a great movie 2/3 of the way thru but then it took a turn for the worse. Didnt like the end of Halo 3 either. Master Chief and Cortana are floating through space, forever. Lame

I take it you haven't seen the Halo 4 trailer...

The Halo 4 trailer has nothing to do with the Halo 3 ending

Hmmm. I really don't know what to make of us this. What do you think, Supreme Dalek?



Anyway, terrible endings. Right. Um......Splice.

Spoiler: Spoilers for Splice. OBVIOUSLY.

Right about 2/3 in, literally EVERY character just becomes a terrible person. The Woman Character (AKA Madame McCrazypants) decides to start treating her freakish Devil Baby like shit by taking away her pet cat for NO REASON. This causes Dren to overreact and almost kill her, which causes Crazypants to strap her a table completely naked and treat her like a science experiment. Then, later on, Adrian Brody has sex with Dren, who is now a Freakish Devil Teenager, and could be considered a clone of wife and his half daughter at the same time. (This can sort of be explained by Dren's psychic powers, but...Well, still!) Then Dren dies, comes to back to life as male, and RAPES MADAME McCRAZYPANTS. I'm not even kidding. Dren impregnates his/her own mother/clone. The movie just...devolves in random fucked-upedness for NO FUCKING REASON. And the best part? It ends with Crazypants SELLING THE MUTANT RAPE-BABY TO SCIENCE. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

And it's a shame, because the first 2/3 were really good.
