i didn't buy bioShock2

I say this whenever this thread gets made, and I'll say it again.

KoToR 2. Dark-side ending.

And it was my first rpg too. I remember obsessively playing that game all summer when it first came out (I was in 5th grade. Stop laughing), and it fills me with the same nostalgia that Fallout, Bladur's Gate, or whatever old-school rpg does with it's fans.

Red Dead Redemption

I'm at 98.4% completion and can't turn it back on for more than 5 minutes without getting sick of Jacks whiny voice
I think the ending was emotionally powerful, but I too despise Jack. I miss John and his manly voice.

OT: Probably the original Fallout 3 ending.
B-b-buttt.... I loved that game... what about Broken Steel?

There's a very good reason Broken Steel is one of the top-rated purchases on Xbox Live Marketplace. It took a game that was excellent, save one giant flaw, and simply excised that giant flaw. That it added 10 levels and extra campaign content was just gravy.

You might be interested to know that Mask of the Betrayer continues the story actually, and you find out about the fates as well as encounter quite a few characters from the original campaign. Plus Mask of the Betrayer is itself much better than the original campaign story-wise as well as character wise. It's even got proper multiple endings that provide proper closure, go figure!

As for my own pick for worst? Most recently God of War 3. I just really dislike that ending, and what's worse is that I loved everything leading up to it. The ending just ruined it for me and left me with a sour taste to the otherwise awesome past few hours it'd taken to beat the game.

Centipede on the Atari. I got to level 100 and it reset to level 1. What a let down.
Seriously though:

Everything you had worked for, every change you tried to bring to the Wasteland, every hope and dream you created for your character is destroyed in a storm of plotty doom. To anyone who plays RPGs properly (that is to say, by role-playing as they should), the ending was so terrible it travelled through time and made the rest of the game suck.

A dozens angry Internet rants on the subject have yet to fully express my anger over this issue. I'm seriously considering starting a boycott on Steam to protest Fallout: New Vegas using the same sort of closed ending.
I am right there with you. My biggest problem with the ending to Fallout 3 was
On my first playthrough I had the mutant who was immune to radiation with me. Not 3 hours previous he was running through an irradiated area, and when it comes time for him to step into the radioactive room hes all, "oh no, this is something you must do, it's your destiny" or some BS line like that. I was sitting there thinking, "LIKE FUCK IT IS BUDDY! Get your ugly ass in there, turn of the whatsa-ma-whozit, get out, and we'll hit a bar and find some girls to celebrate...nobody needs to die, asshole!"
So yeah, closed endings to a games that are pretending to be open ended aren't cool.

I'll say it, Half Life 2: Episode 2, although I guess it could go down as the "best" ending ever from a game developer's perspective when Half Life 3 comes out in 2016 and sells like a ************. Worst case of mass nerd blueballing since the Star Wars prequels.

Fuck you Atlus, You could have made the end to Persona 3 ambiguous but you have to add that fucking graduation scene. I've never cried during a game, I did then.

Well, I started playing Mask of the Betrayer, but I couldn't get into it. That spirit eater mechanic is particularly annoying, especially if you don't have a healing character and have to rest regularly.

After I heard something about you being unable to
fight the death god and free the souls from the wall of souls, despite it being one of your character's goals in the game
I gave up on the idea of completing the game.

And besides, as far as I gather you are the only one out of all your party who was... displaced from the ending of the original game.

I'd be interested to know if these rumours are true.

I did specify that I meant the original ending; the one that initially came with the game. Besides which, some would argue that being forced to pay extra to see the real ending with a half-hearted extra campaign attached is even worse.

I might be the only one in here, but i am going to say MGS 2, just because the whole game is a training scenario to train the naked blond to be the next solid snake. Seriously it kind of pissed me off.

I mean i understand that its a "mind blowing" moment, but i spent all my time playing it and then i get into what equates to a holodeck battle with a shit load of metal gear.

Fuck That Noise.

I couldn't really say, as I rarely judge endings that strongly. I'm of a "the journey is more important than the destination" sort of person. It's not to say that I think the ending is unimportant, just that I can forgive a poor ending if the rest of the game/story was good.

Take Bioshock, for example. Sure it had a crap ending, but the ending wasn't the point of the game. The main point of the game is done being presented to you before you even get to the final sequence of the game, so while the ending is fairly weak, I'm able to forgive a little because it's that first 90% of the game from which I get my enjoyment.

I have to agree with you on this one. I didn't like the ending on it. I think it could have been done a whole lot better.
I'm gonna go ahead and blame LucasArts rushing the game out for Christmas for that one.

But off the top of the head, the worst ending I can think of is probably Fallout 3 minus Broken Steel. [sub]Original, huh[/sub]

KOTOR 2

Obsidian can't make proper endings to games.
Agreed.

I swear they put together the ending of KOTOR 2 in the window of about 5 minutes. It completely lacked cohesion and not to mention it was predictable. I mean the whole party facing their fears thing was a nice idea, but it completely undermined both the concept of immersion and your ability to follow the storyline.

Batman: Arkham Asylum had a less that loved ending for me. I saw it coming halfway through and hoped I was wrong..... I wasn't. BUT the gameplay made up for the ending.
Pretty much, I was hoping for something epicly foreboding at the end, but nooooo.
