Games with terrible endings

I don't know about you but when I played games years ago, I couldn't wait for the ending, even if it took me 6 months to complete a game it was worth it. the likes of Wonderboy 3 on the master system took ages to complete and had an ending that lasted 10 minutes, and it wasn't just credits either.

Games these days have terrible endings and just stop suddenly and make no sense.  I'm surprised that people say these days 'That had a terrible ending', we should expect it. I wasn't surprised by the ending for Rainbow Six Vegas for example, only because I didn't expect anything big.

So what games really annoyed you by not having a satisfying ending?

I don't know, I guess I never really thought about it. I guess it could be developers focusing more on different aspects like multiplayer than on honing the ending sequences.Phaze3031

Not because it was bad, but because I knew right after I saw it, that they would try to sell me more games to see the rest of the story.

I didn't like the ending to kotor 2.jorbo76

Prince of Persia Sands of Time ending was terrible. It just completely let you down. I understand now that it was in the interest of the story, but come on.Jonnyboy1219

I wasn't too taken with the ending to Dawn of War.

Going back a bit (ok, a lot), the ending for UFO: Enemy Unknown nearly made me smash my computer. Such a great game, with such a crappy ending.

On the Xbox 360, the Saints Row ending left me cold. Open-ended games (!) like that shouldn't have sudden endings.

saints row, that ending was just pathetic

cant belive no body said this, it has to be Indigo Prophecy that was a great game up untill the old granny turned into a damn cyborg

^^ what was the ending for kotor2 again what happends once u kill tht old slut?sloppy_sex

The ending itself to Age of Mythology wasn't bad, it was the final cutscene (terrible, and the graphics engine wasn't built for cutscenes anyways) and the fact that Gargerensis was nailed by the Poseiden Statue's trident and not Arkantos' spear that was unsatisfying.

It took me 3 years to beat Shenmue, and the ending was very disappointing when I finally reached It. ( I know it's a Dreamcast game not PC game, but I dont care.)

actually, any game at all will do. I remember lots of old games just popping up a 'The End' message. lol

Dreamfall : The longest Journey should've a more good ending.So many questions still left unanswered.

Gears of War's ending. It was cool seeing the nukes hit and stuff, but whats the point if you dont know what the hell is going on? I mean Gear's whole campaign is just

"kill locusts"

"who are locusts and where did they come from?"

"DONT ASK ME! GO KILL THEM!"

"you really only made this game for multiplayer didnt you?"

"ya...we did"

and the ending sequence didnt even answer any questions. it was the queen saying "they dont know why we fight" I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! EPIC GAMES, PUT A STORY IN GEARS!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna go with KOTOR 1 & 2.  Neither title did much for an ending.  Other terrible endings in games include Duke Nukem, Doom 1 & 2, the last Wing Commander game (Prophecy?), Saints Row, and most every fighting game.  I mean, seriously, would it kill a developer to institute a halfway decent story into a fighting game?  As much as I love the old arcade days of multiplayer beat-em-ups, on the consoles, there's no reason not to explore the possibilities of actual stories beyond the paragraph in the manuals.

Ya, Kreia is a beeyotch and I did not like fighting her.

As for the story, it would have been nice to get some conclusion.  Maybe Bastilla or Carth Onasi could have had a larger role in the second game.

lamest : kotor2

best : Warcraft Frozen Throne , Max payne , Half life 2

I didn't like the ending Quake 4stavredzikov

Why not?  Didn't you note the irony?  SPOILER DON'T READ ANOTHER WORD IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY COMPLETED THE GAME:

Quake 4 AI didn't actually exhibity any.....AI.  They had scripted attack characteristics: each enemy had a pattern of attack.  The Strogg are supposed to be this intelligent race with all this amazing technology, yet they were as dumb as a jackass during combat.  The gigantic brain at the end was hilarious.

Has anyone completed any of the recent Need for Speed series games?

here is the ending, a dialog box comes up...."congratulations! you are the most wanted!"

not even a cutscene or anything, but a DIALOG BOX
