Honestly, I was able to accept AC2 and Brotherhood much easier than AC1. I think it's because with AC1, the idea of the POEs and magic crap hadn't been established. I went through AC essentially playing a historical fiction with some modern sci-fi elements...but at the end it was revealed to be this SUPER advanced technology from the distant past? That was just...ugh, it drove me nuts.Flailing Escapist said:

I think my main problem was the other main character dying off screen, yes. The movie never focused too much on Tommy Lee Jones, it was all about the other guy, and then they just kill him off like he's a side character and finish the movie with Tommy.
And what was with the bad guy getting in a car crash, surviving, and walking off? Was that just a "shit happens and karma doesn't exist" kind of thing?
I can come up with reasons for why the ending is "poetic", but its a movie with an interesting, intense plot that all of a sudden just ends with a strange artsy-movie ending. I walked away feeling like I had only seen half a movie.
It's almost like 2 different people wrote the script. Separately.
Bob: "Ok Jim, I know I love drama movies and you like artsy ones, but maybe if we join forces we can be even better!"
Jim: "Ok Bob! I'll do the beginning and ending and you write the middle!"
Bob: "Sounds good. Let's do this!"

First up "Halo 2" ending, i just HATED that damn ending
and up there "Braid" is a great example of a BAD ending, its pretentious and overly complicated, i just hate the kind of artist that is too smart for his own good, i mean, it cam up as a half assed work instead of a masterpiece (THIS IS AN OPINION, THANK YOU)
other than those, there are "Meh" "Good" "brilliant" and "OMG WTF THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!"
I will refrain for posting them waithing for the next batch of threads that will touch this subject.

Really guys? We've gone this far into the thread without a single mention of the Sopranos? It was so frustrating that they made a parody of it on Family guy, where they finished the episode mid-sentence. Note that it isn't a BAD ending, but it is really the most irritating thing I can think of. Seriously, imagine if I just finished this repl
Dragon Age 2 is the most recent ending that has giving me an intense feeling of disappointment.
Seriously, I felt it was like a kick to the nads, it all came way too quickly and I honestly couldn't believe this was the end game even as I was fighting the final boss (who I was totally shocked was the final boss)
Left a bad aftertaste and further dragged down my opinion of the game.

Indigo Prophecy, as has been said time and time again.
Of course, you can disregard all of the hilariously bad events that happen during the second half of the game all the way up to the final ten minutes and that would still be enough to just utterly ruin everything. For all the build up or the Oracle and the AI and the conspiracy and the Indigo Child, the way everything is solved just boils down to:
"Okay I'mma run in there and shoot my zappy powers at them. PEWPEWPEWPEW! Yay I win! And so the world was safe forever."

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Ending was a cliffhanger...and then the 3rd film sucked, therefore leaving the 'shock' at the end a bit underwhelming.
LA Noire's ending was a bit weird...
Jeepers Creepers. The Creeper kills all the police officers in the station, takes the main dude away and takes his eyes. They get chased and only one of them escapes while the other is killed...just for his eyes?

There were a lot of parraleels between the 3 characters. The way they handled being injured. The way they sat in the chair, the milk drinking. Its been a while, but I think it was trying to establish that all 3 were the same people with different lives, almost. It sounds wierd but imagine 3 sides to the same coin if you know what I mean.
The offscreen death oints to the individual not being important and its the archetype of all 3 that is disapearing.

I understand fully being "irritated" with it and that being perfect for the thread. Its so close to making sense to me. Like the grand idea being on the tip of my toungue, I just am having trouble explaining it.
I think the worst part was that we had to wait 2 years after Assassin's Creed for 2 to come out. Whereas 2, Brotherhood and Revelations are only a year apart.Mallefunction said:
For me, a disappointing ending is when nothing unexpected happens and there isn't really a change between the way things were at the beginning and the way they are in the end. It makes it feel like the whole experience was for nothing.
My favourite endings are unexpected, whether they're happy or sad. I like not knowing how it's going to end, and getting so into the story because I really, really care what happens.
I tend to prefer happy endings, but not unrealistically so.

I havent finished LA noire yet, but the ending to half the cases is annoying. A lot of time I have multiple people I think may have done it and then he goes and charges somebody when Im just trying to get info and it ends the case. wtf. Give me some warning this is the last interigation befroe you 3 star me and ***** I didnt talk to some other guy.
Halo Reach. The campaign is great, and it ends with a wimper, when it could have ended with a bang. Really, really disappointing. It even surpassed Halo 2 in horrible endings. Bungie has a nack for horrible endings. It seems their writers are fans of French movies.
