Worst video game ending of all time?

[MKB]

There are a shitload of games out there with bad endings, some worse than others. Whether it be for confusion, or simply a CONGLATURATION! screen, they all suck ass. But which games are among the worst, if not THE worst of the bunch?

For me, it's got to be Ghosts and Goblins on the NES. Not only is the game exceedingly difficult, but after beating, you are told you need to beat it a second time, all the while reading horribly mistranslated Engrish at the same time.

The original endings for Mass Effect 3.

It was so bad that BioWare had to release free DLC to change all three endings due to the backlash.

Inb4 ME3

The original endings for Mass Effect 3.

Fuck that was fast.

Ok, this might upset some people and even though I absolutely fucking love this game, the ending was seriously agitating:

Half Life 2.

 

[True Grave]

Castle Crashers...I thought I had dropped LSD at the end of it.

Edit: All Mario game endings. Especially N64 where Peach kisses him and says, "Let's bake a cake, for Mario!" FIN.

Nothing to get upset about. Some games can be absolutely stellar throughout its entirety and be ruined due to the ending. Half-Life 2 is one of my favorite games and I was not impressed with the ending. At all.

The game was so fucking epic and amazing and it's getting super climactic and awesome and then...
*game flips me off*

I'm glad to see people recognize that POST DLC for ME3 was actually pretty good.

But for me, Dead Island and Assassin's Creed 2....that final boss fought was absolutely terrible in AC2.

Worst ending ever for me was probably Ghostbusters on the NES. The "Conglaturations" spelling mistake will haunt me til the end of time.

At least after the extended cut Mass Effect 3 was at least acceptable still disappointing (fuck star child) but as a huge Mass Effect fan I wasn't crying myself to sleep at night anymore.

Now an even more disappointing ending how about Knights of the Old Republic 2 what a load of crap that turned into an even bigger load of crap after that MMO came out. It's even more disappointing because that game introduced the single most interesting most fascinating character in all of Star Wars.

Metal Gear Rising.

Nanomachines SON.

Well I wont say worst, but the ending for Red Dead Redemption confused the shit out of me. That's why I'm replaying it now. Hopefully I'll get a better understanding. Anyone else beat it? What are your thoughts?

 

[Vengeance135]

One of the worst endings for me was God of War ascension. It felt rushed, much like the whole game, and weak. The gameplay, graphics, and overall ruthlessness of being Kratos was still godlike though.

SPOILERS What's your problem with it? Because I don't understand what you would be confused about. It's not like it was a mindfuck Bioshock or Inception type of ending. The police wanted to tie up all loose ends and Marston realized they would not stop hunting him and his family so he gave his life so his family could live in peace

I remember thinking the last guy in Dead Island would be a real tough battle... I used my rage meter or whatever you call it to take out Sam B's brass knuckles and proceeded to punch the guy off the side of the building. Entire encounter probably took around 15 seconds, I was disappointed to say the least

 

[EnergyKD]

Probably Castle Crashers like ..... wtf man.

 

[kabelfritz]

Turok, N64. the only game that simply says "game over" when you beat it

I was going to say either GnG or 1942 (NES) ... the ending after grueling hours of repetitiveness in that shooter granted you text over the screen that said only "CONGRATULATION" ... I was very disappointed lol

(falls off cliff : Game Over)

Dungeon Siege 3 has a poor ending.....but my worst was probably Hitman Blood money ! Loved the game but horrible end.

 

[Wowbiggulps]

Cyber Sub-Zero

 

[EGGXI]

Halo 2.

Shits about to go down? Geared up for the big fight?

"Finishing this fight" fade to black.... well hello anti-climax my old friend.

That and the fact that the son had to go find the man years later, but it was no waypoint on the map to get to the man. I felt like as a player I was left in the dark. I dont even remember how I found him honestly.
