Exactley, I mean it makes sense on it's own....mostly. But the fact that you never see the Engineer again(I prefer to call it a squid) is a little confusing.Leftnt Sharpe said:
I'd recommend you put that in a spoiler. Preferably now.jedstopher said:
OT: I usually understand most endings. And I've never seen The Sopranos, but cutting off mid-sentence doesn't seem like a good idea.

The book didn't explain where the creatures. Never seen the movie but the guy and son and girlfriend don't die in book.
Fair enough, but I would've found that to be too abrupt. I mean, sure down endings are all well and good, but the series just wasn't set up for that and there the whole author-reader contract to consider. Besides, the win wasn't really by default, it was the culmination of story threads (and other factors) that were brought into play from the start. I mean, one of the most important parts of the ending was set up as far back as Goblet, and I thought the relevance was pretty satisfying. Each to their own though. However, as I said, do read Jarvis if you like a bit of nasty in your endings (not to mention pick up a lovecraft omnibus or two if you don't already own them). That said, it's hard to find Jarvis anywhere other than online these days, I think he must have annoyed someone high up in publishing at some point.Cody211282 said:

Crackdown
Ok, all the syndicates are dead, now what? My bosses put all of the syndicates into power to create a new world order? Uhhhhh, am I gonna do anything about this? Why should I support people trying to take over the world? As a super powered police officer, aren't I supposed to stop this?

Hell no he isn't. At the end of the twenty-fourth AND FINAL episode he's well and alive. No you silly, CB doesn't have 26 episodes... ha ha ha, where did you hear that?
Y'know, almost every single opinion I've heard expressed about that ending has been negative, and I honestly don't understand why.giggyman said:
I mean, I keep seeing people say that they "pulled a tragedy ending out of nowhere", when they did say, repeatedly, from the very moment the Anti-Spirals were introduced, that Nia was basically dead, that she was now made of Anti-Spiral energy, and the overwhelming odds were that destroying the Anti-Spirals would kill her too. When she was rescued, they showed that she was still a product of Anti-Spiral energy, and that she was experiencing difficulty in keeping herself in one piece. There was so much forewarning, and they straight out stated "Nia's probably going to die in the end" so many times, I really don't understand why people think they pulled it out of the air.
As for narrative relevance, it still makes sense. When she died, it was acknowledgement of the fact that, sometimes, the dice just don't roll your way. That 99% a failure rate is still really bad odds. That it's not always a matter of willpower. I honestly think that allowing Nia to die was the best thing they could've done.

The ending to Kane and Lynch:
Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles
ummm, wait, so I just get on the helicopter? Is that it? Wait, option two.... oh, they bleed to death on a boat
Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles
Ok they took out the small group now... wait, THAT was the big group? That was all of them? THAT was the final battle, it was, like, one missile shower, surely they are gonna follow up on, no, wait, they aren't, they're just going to imply that they are going after Rick Hunter.... yeah, great ending guys, thanks for the great denoument and conclusion, thanks for tieing up all those loose ends.
In ways of good endings, I pick:
BioShock - the 'Good' ending is just so heartwarmingly sweet and satisfying.
Eh, too tired to post more. Maybe tomorrow I'll put more.
Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare
They all went down fighting in the end. A car chase as you try to shoot off several pursuers who are in turn trying to ram you off the road, shoot you full of holes and blow you off track with a RPG. Then the helicopter comes and blows up the bridge, which eventually leads to an oil tanker exploding, incapacitating everyone except Griggs, who dies trying to bring you to better cover. Imran comes and starts executing you remaining squadmates, and comes for you. Friendly russian troops come and distract him, giving you the chance to kill him and his guards.
Of you and your squadmates, only you live to tell the tale.

Yeah, that was a weird ending.Deef said:
OT: Probably the end to ODST as some have said before. To me, it just felt like something was missing. Dunno what, to me it was a bit of an anti-climax..
