Metal Gear Solid 3. Hands down winner for me. The only thing that comes close is Final Fantasy VIII.
Chocolate & Vanilla
Fuck Strawberry
Xenosaga ep III
Edit- I also loved Final Fantasy IX's ending mostly because they managed to keep it fun and lighthearted
edit-edit - talking about final cutscenes specifically

Bioshock Infinite hands down

Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper
Agreed. One of, if not the, personal favorite of all time. FFVI is up there though.
the witcher 1 had a nice twist.
All game long, Geralt is searching for the "true" enemy, the mastermind behind the events that kick off his quest. The identity reveal during the ending was quite unexpected.
I also love that your choices throughout the game dictate the final events.
Alpha Protocol had the same thing going for it.
my playthrough in Witcher 2 has nice events leading to the ending as well,
- love the grey morality in this series 
Mass Effect 1 ending was Epic.
was one of my gaming highlights this gen
Someone mentioned the ending of earthbound where you are free to roam the world and talk to all the people you met, I love that.
Red Dead Redemption,
I even love the "house chores" quests you had to do before all that
Suikoden 2.
- you won the war but still one last thing to do,
- I like that there a mini-summary regarding what happened to your troops after the war.
Saints Row 3 - I need a hero
999 and Ever 17 had mindblowing endings.

(how you fight your way through the city, the survivors you meet, which person will help you, etc.)
my playthrough in Witcher 2 has nice events leading to the ending as well,
- I chose Triss over the Princess, so I had Geralt condemn a nation to war for love.
He also had to fight alone against a troop of the Nilfgaard elite to save her, the best fighters in the most powerful empire in the witcher lore. No other fight in the first 2 games showed Geralt's bad-assery as much as that fight.
- Then I had to kill Saskia.
- Which leads to the final event where I let Letho go, I spent the whole game hunting him and I let him go. Why? because there is a greater evil afoot, and I might need his help.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Seriously that after credits scene made me go crazy, it was sooooo good, that I felt I had to replay the whole game again.
Gabriel becoming Dracul, and the possibility of the sequel being about Dracul, it was like my dream is coming true

I'll bite.
I like Abyss' somewhat ambiguous ending leaving a bit more to the imagination.
Other Tales titles are just kinda where an ending happens... it's usually happy, maybe a twist (but nothing that'd spin the game's concept or plot on its head).
Then you get a title like Vesperia where the ending was about 2 minutes, and the still images in the credits were almost as interesting as the game's plot itself.
which ending?

I have to choose between the World Ends With You or the extra endings in Chrono Trigger.
Uncharted 2's ending was sad and poignant?

Red Dead Redemption ending was perfectly executed.
Darksiders "Not Alone" was pretty cool too.

This exactly. I loved exploring the world and learning about everyone in it. Those connections man made me want to stick around forever.
The final boss fight, while not all that hard, felt perfect tho with how everything happened leading up to it.

Red Dead Redemption is my favorite ending for any game,
Yes, i will gush over this game as much as i can. I was in a really sad state when i first played it. and i lived that world as much as i could. and still do. This game made me love rockstar to a whole new level. Not just the story mind you, but everything in it was amazing for me.
There's a lot of amazing endings in gaming though
From extremely satisfying ones like gta vice city, gta V, ocarina of time, majora's mask, resident evil 4, mgs 1, grim fandango, monkey island 1, day of the tentacle the uncharted series and phoenix wright series and many others. to downright sad or bittwersweet ones like The last of us, mgs 3 , gta iv, shadow of the colossus, and many many others. there the whole mindblowing endings like mgs 2 and bioshock infinite for example.
The half life endings and portal endings also gave me a lot of feelings. valve is great with that
The whole game is genius, from the gameplay mechanics, to music, to story, everything is so well put together, Rockstar really gave their best (they naturally do in every game) with this. From getting together with your family, where the missions suddenly go to a calm tone, where you just do these things for your farm, you always wonder why the game didn't end, john got what he wanted.
Then, the mission "the last enemy shall be destroyed" and i thought, "does this means what i think it means?", then the cutscene starts, and his son starts talking about planes, "them machines who could turn men into angels", and when he says that, john repeats it, with the camera focused on his face. Later on, we discover what this phrase meant, when the g-men attack his farm, and he gets shot in that incredible scene. The game could've ended with the shot of his cemetery, but it kept going, 3 years later, his son comes back to this old farm, and buries his mother alongside john and uncle. you go to blackwater, and see that there's a new journal to buy, you get it and discover what happened to the people you encountered during john's journey. but there's little article in this journal, about how edgar ross got a chest full of medals (like john got his chest full of bullets) and how he defeated the menacing dutch van der line gang, including john in this article.
Then, there's this last stranger mission, where you go after edgar ross through the whole landmass of the game, even down to mexico, where you finally meet him. You finally confront him, kill him, and jack just look at his gun, probably thinking "that's it?" and he turns around, facing the camera, and a guitar riff accompanies the RED DEAD REDEMPTION title card. then deadman's gun starts playing during the credits.
Holy fuck, this ending sent chills down my spine. The game goes full circle with the title (which is one of the most badass titles of history, RED DEAD REDEMPTION), john gets his redemption giving his life to his family. and you see the bittersweet fate of jack, where he becomes what his father never wanted, an outlaw. John died with the old west and as an outlaw to society. even the fucking slogan for this is perfect. Outlaws to the end

One of my favourite endings is the Yakuza 3 finale. Just going all badass, bare back tattoo showing, fighting on the top of a skyscraper.
MGS3 - Who didn't shed a tear.
Bioshock: Infinite - I sat for days contemplating the ending.
Resident Evil 4: Such a rush at the end, massive relief.
Many more, but these are the ones that spring to mind currently.

I support all of these.
Shadow of the Colossus (though the controls and camera are terrible)
Red Dead (so good)
FFVI
Chrono Trigger
Bioshock Infinite
Dragon Age Origins (more for the ending sequence more than the actual ending)
