Sound Off: Worst Endings of All Time

Posted Mar 20, 2012 at 12:43PM EST by Todd B

Listed in: PS3 Tags: BioWare, combat evolved, halo, mass effect 3, sound off

The controversy surrounding Mass Effect 3’s ending rolls on, with Bioware on the defensive and thousands of players continuing to vent their frustrations regarding the game’s final moments. Game-related media outlets have been all over the story, but at this point, we’re sort of dropping into an echo chamber of fan complaints and diplomatic statements by developers.

So instead of throwing yet another hissy fit about Mass Effect 3, we here at QJ thought it might be fun to revisit some of gaming’s other unfortunate endings. It’s difficult to end a story with flare; doubly so for a story with intense fan involvement. Sometimes developers really nail it (see Mass Effect 2, for example), and sometimes they really, really screw it up (any Halo game that isn’t Halo: Combat Evolved).

We want to hear your opinion on the most disappointing game endings of all time. What game did you absolutely love until the end? Which franchises came crashing to a sloppy conclusion?

There's endings I hate, and ending's that are bad, which are two different things.
Red Dead Redemption, for example, angered me but I felt it was a suitable ending.

Final Fantasy 7, had a nice ending on paper, but was executed so badly that most people I talk to who have played it can't even remember it!

-Soul Reaver, love the games, is part of my favorite series ever but the game LACKS an ending, you enter a portal after Kain and get To Be Continued on the screen O_o
-Soul Reaver 2's ending didn't make things better
-Metal Gear Solid 2, really it fet like an excuse to end the game after hours and hours of boring chatter
-GTA San Andreas...fuck ass ghetto gangsta's from start to finish...and many more

Metal Gear Solid 3. After a climax of a massive fight with the mentor a spy story is the ending of the game? Spies deceiving spies..

Chessmaster has the worst ending, after all the brainstorming all you get is a check-mate prompt.

# FF Tactics — Mac 2012-03-21 23:37

Final Fantasy Tactics for the PS1... I accidentally beat that game, I honestly didn't even realize I was on the final boss until the credits started rolling. Worst part was I took him down with an entire party of archers (boring) as I was trying to master every class.

# MMX series. — big c 2012-03-23 00:51

I like the endings in the megaman x games for the most part but I am sad that the series will probably never get an ending. FFFFUUUUUUU CAPCOM!!!
