Worst intro or Ending?

worst intro or ending ever in a video game?

KZ3 ending is definitely the worst in recent years, followed by GOW3

There are already several threads disussing intros and endings...

Anyways, i don't know, i haven't really played any games with bad intros or endings. Except MW2, for the ending. And ACB.

Worst ending may go to BioShock 1's good ending. It was just easy and out of place. "And they lived happily ever after." Yeah, that surely ends the quasi-philosophical storytelling on an intellectual note. BioShock 2 did this 10x better.

And of course every cliffhanger in existance. FEAR 2, The Conduit, etc. The point of finishing a game is to get a sense of satisfaction or fulfillment, not to announce the next game whilst leaving everyone staring at the screen in awe wondering if "that's it?"

Worst intro? I dunno, maybe The Scourge Project. The overly masculine, stereotypical, wannabe-tough approach wasn't cool when Brute Force did it almost a decade ago, and it certainly isn't cool now. The whole game sucked, though, so at least it was consistent. Also, Just Cause 2: *yawn*, just let me explore the island.

Dragon Age 2, while I laud it for taking different narrative route, has a lackluster, cliffhanger ending.

Starcraft 2, bad short ending. (though jaw-droppingly beautiful )

Resident Evil has such a terrible intro that I enjoy it every time.

Just Cause 2.
[spoiler] Rico aims the nuke for an oil field and they're just having a good time a few miles away.I'm sure it wouldn't be the situation if a real nuke would dive into an oil field [/spoiler]

Then again,the game runs on crazy.

Worst intro would be Crysis. Ending, probably Halo Reach.TheMoreYouOwn

Reach's ending was great! You'd honestly say it has the worst ending in a game you've played?

What are u talkin about i found it to be one of the best endings in a long time. Pretty mch sums up what reach is about Surviving .

RE intro is so bad, it's actually good... ah how I miss the good old days!!

Anyway, worst ending this gen... I'd give it to AC.

Man, it's like they didn't even try to wrap it up: just activate eagle vision.. credits roll. WTF is that??? Glad to see ACII and ACB do a better job than that PoS. Much better job.

I hated FF8's ending, well.. I loved it and thought it was incredible, until it went happy mode -.-Inconsistancy

Worst ending is HL2: EP2. For a decent story, the ending was laughably horrible.Mr_Cumberdale

It feels like the biggest cliffhanger ever for me :P

I've never played a TBS with a good ending. Usually, you just get a text box that says "Congratulations, you win!"

IDK about intro, but the worst ending I can think of off the top of my head is Mafia 2. Holy **** I was really enjoying that game, and the ending almost soured my whole experience. Now Mafia 1, that was a wonderfully chilling ending.

Pariah for the Xbox. It has one of worst intros and endings.

hmm worst intro is tough. I can't really think of any intro to a game I've played that was objectively horrible from a gameplay/story standpoint. closest I can think of is bad company 2's beginning that is pretty much irrelevant to the actual campaign. Vanquish's is pretty underwhelming too, very long and worthless cutscenes.

I can think of plenty with bad endings though. Halo 2, Fable 2. Plenty of final fantasy esque games with a nonsensical last boss with 5 stages. Starcraft 2 literally went with the Joe Raynor ending people were joking about before release as so ridiculous it wouldn't happen. The Half-Life franchise is cliffhanger city. Crysis has a lame ending. Crysis 2's is better but still rather crappy. Assassin's Creed is getting famous for cliffhangers that suck but still make you want to know what's next.

Worst two endings I can think of are God of War 3 and Dragon Age 2. Quick, anti - climatic messes that made little sense and offered ZERO resolve. Worst intro I can think of is Crysis 2, hands down. That crap had me laughing. lolMrSelf-Destruct

Haven't played DA2, but yeah GoW3 was pretty bad... totally forgot about it. Anyway I still think the AC ending was just a massive pile of **** and therefore the worst ending this gen.

Killzone 3

GOW3 ending was pretty bad.

This gen? I'd say either BC2 or GOW3.

BC2's ending is one the first in awhile to have made me facepalm in real life.

ACB's ending legitimately pissed me off, I feel like they put it in there just for "teh sh0ckzorz!" It honestly almost ruined the whole game for me, which is a shame because I was actually enjoying it up until then. :(And as much as I hate to admit it, KZ3's ending didn't really settle well for me, it felt a little meh. I stared at the screen wondering "...what?" I felt like if they spent even five more minutes on the ending of KZ3, it would've been amazing, but it lacked the emotional punch they were going for, at least in my opinion.

Borderlands, despite being such a great game. I would have raged so hard if I didn't know about the DLC.

Enslaved had a pretty anticlimatic ending. Crysis 2's was also underwhelming.

One I'm not too sure about is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. It was an extremely intense cliffhanger which I both loved and disliked...

Mafia 2, very dissappointing ending.

The worst ending I've ever seen was Eternal Sonata. I still have no clue what happened at the end or if they actually accomplished what they were trying to do.

Mafia 2, very dissappointing ending.

KOTOR 2's ending was just :| (Amazing game nonetheless)

Halo 2's ending was equally bad.

Best ending would be Halo: Reach (Bungie really crafted amasterpiece)

Worst Ending: 3rd birthday.

How is Alan Wake's ending not in this thread yet? That weird scrambled, no sense making, need 2 episodes of DLC to kind of explain ENDING!

monster-hunt

you must not play very many games if you think killzone 3 has one of the worst endings. you blow a planet up. thats at least something.

one of the real worst endings is fear 2. you fight a possessed comrade who flops around like a Gmod dummy and then Alma rapes you and gets herself pregnant?....... what the ****?

no

- it was anticlimactic as hell. there is no last ditch effort to escape the planet and punch through the fleet. there is no showdown with a key antagonist. the conflict doesnt reach its its peak.

- you leave the game knowing nothing that you didnt already know before. this game totally botches the backstory of master cheif. they had an opportunity to show us the development and intruiging backstory featured in the book "fall of reach" and they failed.

- it leaves no emotional resonance and it ruins the deaths of Master Cheif's comrades. partially by making the characters boring and vacuous, partially giving them nonsensical pointless deaths, and also by never properly explaining their long backstory together.

- it doesnt have a solid tone of either tragedy or triumph. it has no tone at all.

is it the worst ending ever? no. but it certainly isnt good.
