Bioshock 2, at the end, rapture would have been better off if you just did what you were there for and left
Over twenty replies and no one mentioned Halo 2 yet? Weird. But yeah, I will go with that. The game ends with MC walking into a room and saying "I am here to finish the fight"... and then it just turns black. I had thought my X-Box had crashed at first, but nope, that was the ending. And it sucked.
FFXIII was horrible. A final battle with a nonsense god in the nonsense plot. Then in the denoument all the characters just magically appear together in a field with ships taking some villagers down. That they were too lazy to design towns/society at all kinda made it impossible for the games plot to be meaningful. Far too few characters and locations for an RPG. Gran Pulse is a horrible place. In every other FF you explore a cohesive world, though it's understood that there's much more depth than you get to see. Like Midgar doesn't really have a population of 30 people, there's tons of other areas to it and millions of people. But with FFXIII you barely scratch the surface of the world. You run through a couple of towns and see a couple of things in cutscenes, but it's pretty much like any linear western game. With I-XII you felt like you'd seen a whole alien world, with FFXIII you feel like you saw as much as you see of Earth in a call of duty game. There were parts where you could see interesting things in the background but all you could do was stay on the straight path. They really need to learn a bit about level design from western games like Rockstar/Bethesda.
But that said, it's far from the worst ending in a game, most games have really shit endings. The only game I can think of with a satisfying ending was Heavy Rain. Even amongst my favourite games the endings are anticlimactic and I'm just sad that the game is over and don't particularly care about the plot. And movies and tv shows too very rarely have great endings. Books do though, it's strange...
Alan Wake is the worst ending I've ever experienced, but horror games always have terrible endings.

XIII. The story was great, the graphics made it feel like a comic book, the gameplay was a little "been there, done that" while entertaining. The ending... "Who tried to kill kill me? Wait YOU? Nah." That's pretty much it. Just ends, right there.
Resident Evil 4. Not for the actual ending but the flame war that erupted against Leon. Yes, he turned down Ashley, but after all the headache you went through with her, you telling me you'd take her offer? not to mention she's the daughter of Leon's boss. Instead, you know what he did? He hit on a woman his age right after he turns Ashley down. Damn flamers.
Also, the edning to XIII, not the final fantasy game. The first person shooter from ubisoft. You go through this whole consperacy and uncover a plot by the vice president and then. . . . nothing. No sequel, so resolution, the charcter get's caught, the game ends.

Fable 3 left me very disappointed.
Halo 2 still ticks me off for it's pointless cliffhanger.
And Oblivion...seriously, Bethesda! WHAT THE HELL?!

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE ENDING. They basically lead you on with the hope that at the end you will be revealed all the mysteries with the game's plot and will be left satisfied. NOPE. They basically just create one HUGEASS plothole and expect you to take it and leave.

Is that sarcasm or some new rumor floating around? They said at one point that they were doing a serialized series, but that never came to fruition.bootz said:
I would put the end of Dreamfall: the Longest Journey as
It was kind of reminiscent of Empire Strikes Back, with Han in the carbonite.
Mass Effect 2. The final boss felt seriously out of place, like they tacked it on out of some strange obligation that required an "epic" boss fight at the end of a game.
Also,
Also,
I have to choose between either destroying the only source of knowledge we have about the Reapers and their technology because "it was used for evil, it must be destroyed!", or I must hand it over to Cerberus, who will most likely use it for terrorism in some way. Why the hell can't I hand it over to the Council or Alliance? I may not like those guys, but at least I can trust them with technology that might save/destroy the galaxy, not like The Illusive Man, who I am almost absolutely certain will screw you over in some way at the start of ME3
The Force Unleashed.
Kota to Starkiller: Don't kill Vader and the Emperor, otherwise we can't tie the game to the original movies... I mean because killing them is not nice.
