Do you think many video games botch themselves in the end?

Of the video games I have beaten, only a few I can regard as "memorable." I've found that many games end up ruining themselves in the end though. Games can have terrible endings for a variety o reasons, whether it's simply because it was poorly conceived, it was something as important and difficult as the writing, or the ending is completely left field and doesn't fit the characters world or the story that's been building up around them.

The two most recent examples of this that I can think of are Assassins Creed and Indigo Prophecy, and I'll tell you why;

I had a great time playing Assassins, I loved how everything was building up around you and I thought "I can't wait to see how this ends!" Through the entire game , every boss you fight uses weaponry in accordance with the time periodSPOILER:until the last one. I know that wasn't the "end" ending, but it was the last boss battle, and for some reason he obtained super powers (yeah, I know it's 'cause of that treasure he got). EndI guess I just expected it to be a more subtle and believable commentary on how people can be manipulated due to bias, insecurities and a lack of knowledge.

As for Indigo, I was all into that until the very end. I believe their are multiple endings to this game but I only played through it once. The ending I gotSPOILER:Lucas is sitting by a blossoming tree on a green hill with Carla reminiscing about everything that has happened.ENDI guess I just found the writing in that part to be incredibly clunky.SPOIL:Also, come one, the "Purple Clan!?" Really? Machines that learned everything about chroma and Mayan civilization on the Internet?!END

I know it's a video game, but who says it can't be believable? I love playing those kind of crazy nonsense "here comes a huge boss" kind of games, but it doesn't really fit with some like Assassins Creed.

Anyone else? A game that bugged you like this, or maybe you completely hate my guts for saying what I said? hahaha... Well, that's my beef with game endings 'in a nut shell.'

I agree with Indigo Prophecy and Bioshock (didnt have the ptience to finish assassins creed, soz to say).

Bioshocks endings could have been great, but they just didnt live up to the gratness which was the rest of the game. WHY are you as evil as Hitler in one and Mother Terasa in the other?

as for IP, it started to go downhill when SPOILER:

Lucas' gf dies. Plus the possible endings were very clunky and badly written save for the ending where the purple clan wins (i thought that was a really interesting concept and could make a great sequel). Many people dont like the Purple Clan (so your not alone TC) but many people dont realise is that they were involved from the very beginning and we'rent randomly thrown in (when the TV's and computers randomly turned on or affected Lucas, that was alllll the Purple Clan)

Bioshock for me.

The whole would you kindly plot device just made me say, "Really? That is the best you can come up with?" As cool as the game had been up to that point, that lame plot twist really ruined it for me. I mean, I didn't expect Atlas to be Fontaine and that was cool, but who the hell came up with that half-assed mindcontrol plot? Mindcontrol can be cool, if done right. Would you kindly is a terrible way implement it. In the end, I will have some fond memories but none that will let it live with me for long.
