This guy may not have totally got it, however I don't think it was a particularly well handled ending. It felt like they made a last minute decision to link the two games, which really wasn't necessary.MattKeil said:

I get what you are saying and did say that it was not necessarily a bad ending.
I just thought it drug on a little bit too long. Especially when I had to wait until a specific time of day to advance.

The full collection as in all the new Pokemon? Or the whole shebang?Chopper said:I just did it for Black and White, and got literally nothing. I don't think you get the star until you obtain the event legendaries that haven't been released yet!
And never will in Europe!
At this point if somebody has the patience to catch them all they should be given pokemon with full EVs and customizable natures.

But the actual ending (the one I got anyway) felt pretty good. Though that's after trudging through a disc of filler content. Filler content that mainly involved the awesome battle system.Jsunu said:
So eh, great game.

that's not ending related, that's the entire f-ing game. Literally.
SUCH a waste. Fuck.
- I can't believe nobody mentoined Fallout 3 pre-DLC though. And post-DLC, obviously. That ending sure takes the price for completely ignoring in-game rules in its story.
- God of War 2 (seriously.
time travel ruins everything. EVERYTHING
- God of War 3 (as I've said before: I consider this the worst game I've ever played. The gods of Olympus are on my side on this.
Yeah sure, they're all dead, but they just ascended maaaan. FUCK YOU.
- Killzone 3 (also: Killzone 2 if didn't stop and listen to the first conversation between Rico and that woman. But if you did do that, it was actually rather neat and dramatic)
- inFamous (see God of War 2.
It's you from the future. It totally all makes sense now! ... ehm, actually it doesn't and it's kind of a lame cop-out? SHUT UP, YOU'RE BEING NEGATIVE! :')
- Assassin's Creed 2 and any game in the franchise to follow it.
Minerva, humans are special, you know the drill. Everything was cool until that came up.
- and sadly, the very recent game of
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. WTF man, where the fuck is the proper ending? You know: mission 16 and all.
But let us now consider THE KING of dissappointment in endings:
HALO 2
Finish the- credits.
alternative King: Metal Gear Solid 4.
Control!

Wow. My compliments for completing the whole thing... at least to the point at which it was viable.Chopper said:The whole shebang. And that's exactly the sort of reward I'm talking about. But no. No star on my card until I get the unobtainable legendaries.
Selectively available legendaries has always been a downer. I wish it was a new development, but even Mew was impossible to catch without a promotion (or exploit).
Oh well, that's why I traded for 30+ victinis when the game came out. Some day they might be wanted by someone.

The ending was so rushed, without knowing the development cycle at the time, even I realized that it was an extreme rush job.
All that buildup for such an anti-climatic finale/conclusion, still annoys me to think about it.
Came to post this. The game had loads of content cut. The final product is still very good (I still prefer the 1st game tbh) in spite of the cut content but the ending makes no sense at all. The game was rushed out and they literally didnt give the game an ending at all.
Some modders have restored a lot of the cut content and a team spent ages trying to restore the ending but gave up eventually.
Borderlands ending.
Starcraft 2, despite having a fun campaign, was nonetheless pretty bad in terms of storytelling.
This vault is this magical thing with untold power and wealth, and opens only once every 10,000 years!
*much adventuring and shooting happens*
OMG IT'S OPENING. Augh, a giant bug!
*you shoot it*
LOL IT'S CLOSED AGAIN. Thanks for playing!

Kerrigan, this great Zerg villain who single-handedly made herself the most powerful being in the entire sector during the events of Brood War, has come back! How can we stop her?!
Oh wait, you have this magical artifact that comes out of nowhere and the Terrans, who can't even understand Protoss technology, much less Xel'Naga technology, are suddenly able to use it to turn her human again.

This is getting weirder all the time
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. I mean after you get the Apple, it's run to objective, speak with the villain guy, he runs off and you have to escape using only the Apple. Repeat 5 times. Then suddenly you're in some random other town for some reason fighting him. Also the Desmond ending sucked too

Truth.
You must choose to either kill your partner, or thousands of people will die! You let those people die for your partner and their blood is on YOUR hands! Mwa ha ha! What a twist!
It was bullshit. That's not on me, that's on YOU, dude. I'm not the one who put all that into motion in the first place.
What a dumb decision to have the player make.
I saved my partner.
_dementia said:
EXACTLY!!!
And I forgot about the horse in SotC but it only further illustrates this point.
No trolling, just didn't like that ending at all. The devs had to go way, way, way out of their way to give it to us too. They could have just followed through with what they had already set up and it would have been way more impactful imo.

Recently I played Blood Stone. What an awful, awful ending. No build up, no drama, just a car chase out of nowhere, some mysterious rambling and we're done. With a blatant sequel hook. It feels like half a game or the end of a second act.

All the tekken 1 endings, so bad (bad CG, bad animation, bad backgrounds, bad "story" and bad music, holy cow!) there are hylarious.
Special mention to King's ending :lol

I was heavily disappointed in the ending of Zero Wing.
I expected some epic showdown and scenes with CATS. But.... did the fucker bail out or something?

Beware. MGS4 ending "spoilers." I've posted it before - and I like the game - but it's always perfect for threads like these.

Fable 3.
Halo: Reach
The impending doom of your continent that you spent the entire game building up a defense against turned out to be nothing more than a few shadow-gooey people and a boring and ridiculously anticlimactic boss fight with your mentor turned evil. Afterwards, your buddies praise you and the credits roll.
Halo: Reach
Instead of a Warthog run through an exploding ship or a planetary construct falling apart, you get to end the "final" mission in the seat of a stationary MAC cannon and have to shoot down a few Phantoms until the final boss shows up: a Covenant cruiser with a giant red weak spot to shoot at. Once that's down, the ship you were protecting flies away with the Master Chief to start a much better game.
And no, the Lone Wolf mission doesn't make up for how boring the MAC cannon sequence was because the Lone Wolf mission isn't too amazing as an ending either.

I remember spending a whole day finishing Jurassic Park for the SNES, just to get the lamest ending ever

Your post suddenly reminded me of that S-E fighting game that had Cloud & Tifa in it, Ehrgeiz. Me and my friend went through all the endings in that game and came across this gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLPpU3m8mWs
It's either the lamest or most trollish ending I've ever seen. Yes, it does loop indefinitely.

Dragon Age II...
Regardless of who you side with, you have to arbitrarily fight the heads of both factions just for the hell of it. After winning, you and your love interest walk into the sunset, never to be heard from again. Even lamer is when you become the Viscount of Kirkwall. You lead the city for a week or two, and still disappear for no reason. Awesome. That's a real self-contained story you've told there, Bioware.

as far as recent games, easily my #1 pick. so mind-bogglingly awful (+ cheesy) that i'm amazed that anyone who invested time in & even enjoyed the game could've walked away satisfied. that the game took something of a nose-dive beyond the halfway point i was willing to forgive, but that ending destroyed any & all good memories i'd had up till then...
so lame i don't even like thinking about it

My friend played through my copy of Portal 2 and said the ending was stupid kiddy shit.

The way I understood it the menial tasks of running the farm were supposed to provide a counterpoint to the violent life you'd been leading up until that point. And it worked for me, I really enjoyed the change of pace and it helped to see what John had been struggling for.
I loved the RDR ending and can't really understand why anyone would dislike it, shoot me if you like but its one of my favourite game narratives this generation.
