Worst game ending

[alittlepepper]

Chronicles of the Sword. It was one of the first PS1 games out there.
Though it fit the game (in that it totally sucked) it still took ages to get there and it was just...ugh. To think they could have done so much with that game (and the ending!) and just let it fall through their fingers.

In more recent games though, I'd have to say...erm...Fable 1 and 2 (if only because after the "ending" there was absolutely nothing to do) and Mirror's Edge, which just kind of ends with a nothing.

Every Mario game ever made. That tease of a princess never puts out.

This.
Also the aforementioned Halo 2 ending.

 

[psivamp]

Assassin's Creed 2. I mean honestly, it was just plain silly.

"What. The. F***?"

No game should ever end with this phrase, let alone uttered by the main character, who should have a slightly better idea of what is going on than the player.

 

[Thor.]

Condemned: Criminal Origins. I don't even know why I bothered to finish it once those fat zombies guys started appearing.

 

[Hawk of Battle]

Borderlands.

*Start of game* "So hey yeah there's this massive hidden vault full of alien tech and weapons and if you can find it you can basically be a god of gods with your overwhelmingly massive horde of weapons. You should get right on that!!"

*10 hours later* "So hey yeah you found the vault. Oh looks there's a giant monster inside it, you should go kill that."

*Kills boss* "Great, thanks for that... Oh here's the key to the vault. Go sell it to that woman over there for 2 million $ to add to the other 50 billion $ you already have and can't spend on anything."

....

"What?"

*END*

Easily Halo 2's.

You just don't end such a hyped game with a cliffhanger. And the final boss wasn't all that great either.

At least Halo 2 had Halo 3 come out after it. KOTOR 2 on the other hand, well lets just say the ending was way worse then halo and they never released a 3rd game. That game makes me want to hurt the people who wrote it.

 

[mageyolook]

it may not be the worst evar, but i thot resistance 2 had a sucky ending

Yeah... Self explanitory.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Borderlands. I thought you would at least get a lot of XP or guns or at least a lot of money but nothing. You fight an insanely easy boss and then it's just over.

 

[Mafiastyle]

Super Mario Bros. I went through hell to save her behind and now she sends me off on another adventure - what gives? Sad face.

 

[Omikron009]

Halo 2 is the obvious choice, but I'm going to have to go with the dark side ending in KOTOR 2. It made no god damn sense and left me with no closure whatsoever.

 

[tomvw]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Bioshock 1, after an atmospheric experience, you fight some videogamey boss and it's the end. What!? I was expecting something deeper than that.

Halo 2 is the obvious choice, but I'm going to have to go with the dark side ending in KOTOR 2. It made no god damn sense and left me with no closure whatsoever.

I heard that the development of kotor 2 was a mess and the publisher pressed them hard to release it before it was done so it would have the momentum of the original on its side, I think it was released like a year after the first

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter.
It was all the dream of an NPC you never interacted with and his big sister was a little half-darkness girl who did nothing in the first game.

What ending?

 

[Radeonx]

KotOR 2.
The game is fantastic, but the ending was terrible.

 

[conflictofinterests]

Fallout 3's, always (not Broken Steels). Not because of what happened, but because it's illogical:

Spoiler

Sacrificing yourself to save everyone was OK. What wasn't is how they made it so two companions could have done it for you safely but refused to as it was "your destiny". Simply removing them would have made it OK.[/b]

Easily Halo 2's.

You just don't end such a hyped game with a cliffhanger. And the final boss wasn't all that great either.

Especially considering the fact that the next one would be on a different console a fair few years later.

I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the Fallout 3 ending. I am SO glad I got Broken Steel, because I saw the utter bullshit they were going to try to pawn off on me.

 

[conflictofinterests]

Assassin's Creed 2. I mean honestly, it was just plain silly.

OH GOD THAT ONE TOO! I do believe they were channeling Xanadu for that one.

 

[wolf92]

FF: Crisis Core. What bull shit is this? There's a mission you can complete before hand where Zack kills 1000 shinra troops, so why does he die at the end?

 

[Hazy]

Modern Warfare 2, easily. It's literally like the writers thought: "Aye, fuck, they're gonna buy it anyway - let's go grab something to eat."
Let's not beat around the bush: They gave it a quick ending because they knew people were going to flock to the sequel regardless.

Super Mario Bros. I went through hell to save her behind and now she sends me off on another adventure - what gives? Sad face.

This. Completely and totally this. I swear, why Mario does it is beyond me. And slightly off topic, but that post instantly reminded me of:
