AAA games with crappy endings?

This games should be revoked from their AAA status just for having such abysmal endings.

gears fo war 2.

super mario galaxy

dead space

bioshock

halo reach

resistance

Feel free to add more games to the list.

Reach's ending is good, I like when the main protagonist dies.

Uncharted 2 comes to mind.

Why are using a game that litlle to no story in that list TC?

The Witcher 2

Reach's ending was the best part of the campaign... :?

On topic, God of War 3 and Gears of War 2 had pretty terrible endings.

Gears had a good ending, Mario games are never about the story so don't know why you put there, Reach's ending was fantastic, but I do agree on Bioshock and dead space.

Uncharted 2. Not storywise but gameplay wise. A running in circles final boss battle. mrmusicman247

Didnt read thread, but saw Darklink was the last poster and bet $100 dollars he posted something Uncharted 2 related. :P

And if he did, I would agree with him. Uncharted 2 had an absolutely terrible ending.

Edit: I was wrong.

Not always. It has a good story just a terrible ending and the UC3 beta was bad.

How was reach's ending crappy? How else was it going to end :?lawlessx

L.A. Noire is the only one that comes to mind at the moment. It's not that it was bad, but for anyone who really liked the main protagonist, it was a huge middle finger.

Which Reach ending are we referring to? Before credits or after? Either way I thought both were kind of bad(well the after credits one was alright, it was fun.), because I really felt no sense ofemergency throughout the whole campaign despite the plot being the fall of Reach, you'd expect something like that out of it..I really think Bungie dropped the ball on the campaign.


I don't remember that many endings out of the AAA games I've played....I guess Mass Effect 2 and Batman AA(Mainly the last boss fight) are really just the main ones I really didn't care too much for.

MGS4. That game's ending should be killed with fire.funsohng

More like the whole thing, we need to free ourselves from the Shistem.

As for me, im going for an easy one, Mass Effect 2

[QUOTE="funsohng"][QUOTE="Bujikan92"] Ending boss was never Uncharted's strongest bone. U1 ending boss fight was decently ok , and U2 was just decently ok too, they werent bad just not spectacular. Usually you expect amazing battles at the end of every game, but since Uncharted is a realistic type of game, where the characters are avarage Joes, no super powers, no super wierd technology, and everything is pretty much smiplisct and not out of the ordinary, so it kind of hard to have a over the top boss battle when the hero is an avarage Joe and the villian is just the same. Lets see wat U3 ending will be likeBujikan92

Dead Space had a good ending. But Resistance 2 having a good ending is news to me..

Oh Killzone 3, its not AAA but man did it have a bad ending.

Exactly my friend, and this is the reason why super mario galaxy is on the list. I know nintendo has been using the game old stupid story line for mario games for the past 25 years, but that doesn't mean we don't need an awesome ending after completing the game.

I think it's a bit silly to get upset at a game like Super Mario Galaxy having a lackluster ending. It's a shining example of the journey mattering much more than the destination.1PMrFister

Thanks asshat I havent beat it yet :evil:

Oh well, I guess its not that unpredictable anyways.

GOW3 had a pretty bad ending and I felt that Dead Space did too.

Bioshock's ending was just so unsatisfying. I mean, its not the worst ending ever, but considering how amazing the whole game was before it just didn't compare to the epic beginning or fantastic mid game twist.

It just ended, on a ho hum boss fight that followed an escort mission.

[QUOTE="funsohng"][QUOTE="Bujikan92"] Samething with U2, we all know that Drake is going to "win", save the day, and everything is going to be alright at the endBujikan92

I'm going to have to say MGS4. I loved the games story, but the ending was so forced.

Any game that has a cliffhanger ending is a bad ending in my eyes. I hate not being certain of what happened, especially when there's no sequel.

Who ever said Red Dead is CRAZY...

I love Mgs4 but the last boss battle was crap so was uncharted 2 last boss battle... The ending stories were good however!

On the other hand, La Noire last moments was stupid/ corny/ though not expected, but very rockstar like...

Bioshock for sure. Both Uncharted games had awful endings (and awful final bosses). LA Noire's ending segment wasn't particularly good - just felt rushed. Weird considering how strong the rest of the game was (other than the 'twist').DJ_Lae

Oh, and Uncharted: DF's final boss was horrible. Ending itself was okay, but -

Actually, you know what, screw that. The whole twist and pretty much everything after it sucked.

Borderlands! I forgot what the rating was.

Nevermind, it got a 8.5.

I'm going to have to say MGS4. I loved the games story, but the ending was so forced.

The game has a very weak ending, weak underdeveloped plot, weak underdeveloped villain, with a very weak and forced motive. The villain didnt have a very believable motive in the game, nor did Drake to be honest. That shamballa, blue sap, centimani stone crap seemed so forced and contrived it wasnt even funny. It just came off like Naughty Dog said "ok lets make Drake go after this object for no reason. oh, lets throw a villain in here who also wants the object for no reason". The game just felt like their actions were disproportionate to their motive, and they just threw a villain in the game just for the hell of it.
