Yeah. The Castle quite famously ends mid sentence, which wouldn't be so bad if the book wasn't already vague and allegorical as fuck.-Drifter- said:
What is the most irritating ending?

Some of the video game endings described in the thread have been criticised for not allowing the player to "win", e.g Fallout 3 and Dragon Age 2.
Just as a general question: are you predisposed to dislike an ending if it involves the death or disempowerment of your character?
This isn't intended to come off as snide or anything like that, I am genuinely interested.

lazy ending,s like Engel Beats,
"oh yeah we were happy all along!"
I was very curious about the other characters pasts and even though I hated Yui I cared for her in her episode.
or in a gaming example Halo 3
you escape the halo thingy and the game just ends.
or cliffhangers that are still unsolved I,m looking at you Half-Life EP2 it was a good game but they ended on a cliffhanger that still needs to get resolved.

It's no secret that FF6 is my favorite of the series...and I agree with you. The ending isn't as bad as the others I've played. This is likely because of that gradual build up to godliness that they do..rather than simply throwing it at the player within the last hour of gameplay.Belzera said:
Is that the one where *spoilerA* is eaten by *spoilerB* and you have to kill *spoilerB*? That ending made me sad, I loved *spoilerB* plus yeah, was a ***** and a half to kill.Fayathon said:
Yeah didn't make much sense, still epic ending though. Loved that game, I demand a new gen sequel!
Borderlands takes the cake for all bad videogame endings, that much is universal knowledge. As for movie endings, I honestly can't think of any film that ended badly that already didn't suck.

Wow. I kind of loved the ending, didn't know there was so much negativity behind it. I got ask, why? I'm not trying to say "you're wrong!" or anything, I'm just curious.Andothul said:
halo3 because that game was one big disappointing ending
fable 2
predator 2 - they just let him go?!
all the terminator films
prince of persia sands of time - was far too predictable

Really, no one is going for Prince of Persia, the cell shaded one?
In all of these bad ending, something happens. Maybe they are bad endings, irritating, lazy etc, but something happens that changes the world, the characters, something. In PoP, the cumulative reward for every last shred of effort is absolutely nothing. You literally undo all the things you did during the course of the entire damn game. From a storyline perspective, if the Prince just sat in the sand for the entire period of the game play, a sequel would be on the exact same footing as if you played the game. And worst of all, the response to the game seems to be that there won't be a sequel to introduce anything relevant happening in the storyline.
Also, Hitchhikers Guide. Mainly because there was supposed to be more books, and instead it ends at the most downer moment possible. Te biggest irritation, of course, is that the ending means no more Hitchhikers guide books, which is terribly sad.

Borderlands: The seemingly half assed conclusion to the story surrounding the Vault really pissed me off
Dead Rising: I know they're doing DR2: off the Record (and putting the spotlight back on Frank) but seriously the way they concluded the first game in Overtime mode was a.....WTF REALLY moment
Halo 2: of course.....who wasn't pissed at 'sir Finishing this fight...*roll Credits*'

The ending that isn't. The one that leaves room for a sequel that might not ever come to be. Video games are the most common culprit in this especially for the stories that didn't have sequels built in but they leave space in case the game explodes so then they can cash in.
Mass Effect, I'm pretty sure it was always intended as a trilogy. If the end of ME3 is still open ended for some BS reason, then it'll fall into this category. ME3 should absolutely bring closure in the least to the story of Sheperd if not the entire ME universe.

What that whole guess what the Vault really is a lie thing bugged you? (mean spirited joke) I felt like the game was laughing at me.-Drifter- said:
The ending to Twilight princess really bugged me because they really cared about each other in the end.
Borderlands was more about the kourney. which was damn awesome. Sure, the vault was just the 'cake' ... with tentacles ... and the ability to fire lazers and eat worlds ... yeah.-Drifter- said:
Personally for me, it was the Dragon Age 2 ending. The journey was awful, and the ending didn't do any justice to anything. Compared to ME2 which had a great flow with the story despite having a similar ending was a much more interesting cliffhanger, I just felt empty inside with DA2.
The endings in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I thought they'd be a little more interlocking and and well written, but they were just...ugh.
