The worst video game ending ever

[Dalisclock]

Maybe not the worst but TLJreamfall is pretty bad. Nothing you did accomplished much more the delaying the bad guys and forestalling the end of the world, all of the main characters are pretty much fucked, from what we could tell considering almost nothing was resolved.

In fairness to TLJ: Dreamfall it is meant to be the second part to a trilogy its just it didn't sell well and it was put on hiatus for years. Thanks to crowdfunding there is now a Dreamfall Chapters though which might wrap it all up better (haven't got round to playing it yet want to re-play the first two games to refresh my memory).

I've played Chapters(helped Kickstart it, actually) and one of the things it does right is almost immediately deal with the cliffhangers from Dreamfall. And while I respect the team that made the TLJ games, I'm almost very much of the opinion that if you're not fairly sure of getting a sequel to conclude everything, don't have everything hanging off the cliff when you reach the end.

Unless they were screwed by FUN.COM, which seemed to have more then enough cash to throw at two failed MMO's but couldn't be bothered to wrap up the Dreamfall storyline which probably would have cost a fraction of either Conan or The Secret World.

Just one mention of FF13! That ending should be shown in school to illustrate exactly what not to do!

Not a lot of stuff happen in the game (despite it being over 40 hour) but you do learn two things in the game 1) Branded people have only two fate, monster or crystal and 2) The bad guys want you to kill eden which will cause the flying island to crash, killing every human.

So the ending is, obviously, that your character immediately try to kill eden. But before they can, they turn into monster but miracle they all turn back human. So at this point they have no more reason to kill eden (which would save humanity) but nope, they instead go ahead and kill eden anyway. This cause the island to crash but, more unexplained miracle, everyone get teleported off the island. I'm pretty sure someone who would have literally no idea what happened in the game would have made a better ending.

What got me was the fact that the villain pretty much tells them straight out halfway through the game that killing Orphan will cause the world to come to an end. What do they do? Proceed to do exactly what the Villian told them to do, and surprise, things pretty much ended the way he said they would(if not for the Dues Ex Machina).

FFXIII-2 is just as bad, though somehow manages to make even less sense, especially when you realize the Villian could have just as easily accomplished his goal by killing himself....and he knows this! XIII-2 is pretty much a massive case of "Nothing you did mattered and it was all a massive exercise in futility". Apparently if you 100% the game, you get an extra scene at the end where the Villian pretty much laughs at you for putting in so much effort.

Worst in the sense that the game as a whole was very good but the ending SUCKED... my vote goes for Deus Ex Human Revolution. I adore this game, but the ending is utter trash. Literally press one of 4 buttons for 4 different monologues about... I don't know, I zoned out in every one of them. I mean, the original Deus Ex had a terrible ending too, but at least you had to do something different for each ending, even if only ever so modestly, and I remembered those endings, but Human Revolution, nah, we can't even be bothered with that level of investment. Sigh, oh well, still a great game.

Did you play the first one? It's literally the same thing.

Did you not read what I said?! And no, even it had you do slightly different things for each ending, not just in a room with 3 of the buttons, and 1 button down the hall.

Clearly... I didn't read it properly
Sorry
