worst game endings?

Post » Wed Nov 27, 2013 3:27 am

It's not even the end of the year and there are a total of 5 games thus far with either cheesy cliffhangers or just plain worst and nonsensical endings ever

Note: use the special BBcode for spoilers

thanks :smile:

Here is spoiler filled detail on the endings to the five games in the poll. or if you don't like those choices just comment below on the worst game ending in YOUR recent memory

Spoiler
Killzone Shadow Fall: At the end of the game Lucas Kellan(you) confront Jorhan Stahl who survived the events of Killzone 3 and that he was behind the events in the entire game right before you either arrest him, or execute him your "commanding" officer Sinclair shoots him and then you and afterwards goes on this speech on how it was for the best and that the Helghast need to be eliminated shoots you and credits roll.....however though it turns out that the game is still going post credits and Echo(you) assassinates Sinclair in revenge for Kellan

Call of Duty Ghosts: Logan attempts to defend his wounded brother, but has his arm broken and is kidnapped by Rorke, with the former Ghost announcing his plans to brainwash Logan into killing the rest of the team. In a post-credits scene, Logan is seen being kept inside a pit in the jungle, presumably going through the same torture methods that Rorke went through.

Battlefield 4: A U.S. rescue helicopter then picks up Recker and his remaining teammate (because you get to choose who lives and who dies), reporting to Garrison that one member is missing in action. During the credits, the player hears a new dialogue between Irish and Hannah, discussing their pasts, and how they have to keep moving forward with "no freaking regrets"

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag:As Roberts, the Sage admits to Kenway that he owes no allegiance to the Assassins or the Templars and instead uses whoever he thinks represents his best chance of achieving his ends. With the Sage dead, the player is contacted by the Assassins as they continue their infiltration of Abstergo, but neither side is able to explain the Sage's presence or identify his followers.

Grand Theft Auto V: you got three endings: a good ending, a mediocre ending, and a complete straight up WTH!!!! ending

Death Wish: Franklin decides not to kill either Trevor nor Michael and gets them together to wipe out all of their enemies once and for all and at the end of the game Devin Weston who was the number one person on their list get's kidnapped by Trevor and ends up being killed in the back of his car after the car was push off of the cliff by the three and they all go their separate ways but remain friends

Trevor's ending: Franklin decides to kill Trevor with the help of Michael and at the end of the game Trevor gets shot and get's burn to death while screaming in agony....okay and i thought GTA IV was dark

Michael's ending: Franklin decides to kill Michael without the help of Trevor and you go to his location and Michael invites you to dinner but Franklin declines declaring that it's time to end this or whatever the heck he tells him....after a brief chase you and Michael are on the top of an oil stack and just right before Michael falls to his death you can either choose to help him or not however though the [censored] head butts you and he ends up falling to his death....really?

Grand Theft Auto V is the only one of those I've played, and only for two hours or so and I'm not likely to play it again so the ending doesn't bother me (whatever the ending might be since I haven't seen it).

But talking back about older games, I do dislike the endings of XIII and especially Advent Rising very much. Advent Rising is a really awesome game that ends with a cliffhanger. Howerver, it sold very poorly so the trilogy will never ever be finished, which I'm rather peeved about.

Yeah, I was thinking that. If it has to be amongst this year's offerings... I haven't really played enough stuff to really be afflicted by anything suitably gruesome.

I enjoyed GTA V's Death Wish ending. :shrug:

Worst Ending for me: Saints Row the Third or Skyrim. Actually, you know what? Ef it, Skyrim.

'Yeah, I know you just saved the world from Alduin and stopped the civil war tearing our homeland up, but uh, no lollygagging.'

Screw you Skyrim. Screw you with the hilt of a Daedric Sword.

Skyrim had an ending? I thought it was just generic quests over and over, then you kill a dragon and repeated the generic quests?

To be fair, that pretty much is the 'ending'.

Alduin is a bloody joke. 'I AM THE BIG BAD ENEMY.....who...can....be brought down in a fight the same as my other dragon kin....'

The first dragon I encountered was harder to kill.

It would have made more sense for Alduin to be trapped somewhere he can't fly and I can't just volley arrows in the air while dodging his flames, so it ends up more of an intense brawl. Seems more believable to me at least.

Haven't played any of those :shrug:

But Skyrim wins (by being worse, i mean) over ME3. At least ME3 tried. Failed, but at least tried :hehe: And had more challenging final fight too, despite being without a proper boss :wink:

I haven't played all those yet but I say Ghosts. That means there will be another CoD game in 2015...ugh.

For GTA V, I didn't even know that was the ending. It sort of just happened.

That demon baby ending from Drakengard. It's amazing just how nonsensical and creepy that was. It isn't horrible, but is it the craziest ending I've seen. Limbo of the Lost had a crazy ending, too, but I've never played the game.

Same. Don't play military shooters and don't really care about most of the new games coming out outside of Drakengard 3 and Thief 4. I love that series so much.

The ending to Dark Souls was disappointing, very anticlimactic. A bog standard boss fight followed by a very short cut scene. Woohoo.

Borderlands had a fairly rubbish ending too.

I didn't mind Skyrim's "ending" (if you were to call it that). Or rather, I wasn't upset or disappointed, because given TES's track record, what we got was par for the course. Well, except for lacking an ending cutscene, but looking at those for TES III and TES IV, it wasn't missing out on much.

Never played ME3.

Gripe about GTA: V ending.
Spoiler
I can sorta get Franklin wanting to kill Trevor, as the dude has been clearly established as a Grade-A psycopath. Franklin himself offered to "bury this MF" once he was told about Trevor by Michael.

But the Michael ending? No, I never understood that. Michael pretty much became Franklin's mentor, and Franklin himself had a respect for Michael. Nowhere in the game did it suggest that Franklin thought Michael should be put down, so how the hell can Franklin just turn around and gun after his mentor?


Gripe about Oblivion Ending (I know, it was released years ago)
Spoiler
Think the Skyrim ending was bad? At least we fought the big bad. In the Oblivion ending, we just hacked our way through generic Daedra to the Temple of the One and simply watched as Martin took on Dagon. Our big bad, Cameron, was a big joke. He stands up, rants about how we're the last gasp of a dying age...and he goes down in a few blows.

Hey! At least Oblivion gave me a statue. I just slayed Alduin you ungrateful neanderthals, appeal to my vanity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr_YVQctXVg, Skyrim. :stare:

Limbo of the Lost has an http://youtu.be/9vz4J2rorDE :D.

I can't really vote on the choices cause I haven't payed any of them yet although I have CoD: Ghost on the PS4.

I'm amazed that ending was appropriate enough to post here. Didn't know if it was thanks to having found out the name of the piano player in the ending. It's a wonderful censored name. I love the crazy bar quartet music used. That has its charms.

I just noticed the game's graphics look way to similar to Planescape Torment's as far as the character models go. Updated my journal.

I liked GTAV's Deathwish ending.

Spoiler
The other two didn't make a whole lot of sense. They're very out of character for Franklin to pursue and they leave a whole lot of loose ends, since all the real antagonists are still alive to cause trouble for our surviving "heroes" again in the future. Which was probably kind of the point. Only Deathwish offers closure.

The way I see it, GTAV has only one ending. The others are just "what-if" scenarios.

Anyway, didn't play any of the other games in the poll. If I were going to choose some stinkers, they would be...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B66hTKMXXQ. This is one of the toughest games I've ever played, but the ending is an incredibly cheesy and clumsy affair. It didn't leave me with a sense of victory. It just made me say: "That's it?! All that trouble and that's all I get?!!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2AVskd5r3A. First they unartfully just dump a bunch of information onto you explaining the whole plot right before the final boss. Then, assuming you kill the final boss correctly (which you'll need a guide to do because there's no real explanation or hint to be found anywhere in the game as to how it's supposed to go), they just wax a bunch of shallow philosophy and trying to weird you out with nonsense. Instead of actually closing the story properly. And that's saying about how the plot lost its thread about 25-50% of the way through.

Metal Gear Solid 2. What wasn't wrong with it? Long-ass cutscenes that bring forth new revelations, conspiracy theories, and twists to the plot...that contradict the previous cutscene you watched, rendering sitting through it completely pointless. And in the end, all MGS2 did was muck up the series so badly that the rest of it had to be spent patching it up in the most roundabout ways possible.

Metal Gear Solid 4. The ending was good, bittersweet, emotional, and poetic. It wrapped up nearly every loose thread...and then someone dumps another hour of exposition onto it, ruining everything, taking away all the dramatic punches, and just leaving me with a desire to punch a pregnant woman.
