2 spring to mind for me.
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, there's no follow up to that. You don't get anything on the reply so I don't see the point

Devil May Cry 2: That was pretty shocking

I thought that was a good ending. Left it at a good point to carry on for the sequal, ending the story. Although I guess it was a bit thin.

The Soul Caliber 2 endings disapointed me. All that great game and then crappy picture endings? no glorious CG engings?

Ohh yeah, instantly forgetable. It was a waste of time. After Soul Blade a major letdown

For me it would have to be the Adventures of Dino-Riki.

I died like a million times because it was so hard to play, but one day I got to... the Final Boss! And I killed him! WOW!

Then the game went back to the title screen. No ending. :mad: :mad: :mad:

There wasn't even a "Congratulations" screen!

A lot of old Nintendo games were that way, as I recall.

After playing Castlevania 2 for so long, I had hoped for a better ending than the 10 seconds in front of a tombstone with one paragraph.

KOTORII: Sith Lords is also kind of disappointing... except for the cool explosion.

That's because said games le dup to Defiance.. A sone big contunity.

The LOK games have one aweosme storyline. But the SOul Reaver game made the 'Ohh it's the ending. ut story ain't over."

As Defiance had a semi good ending.: Kain is aware of his true purpose and weapon can change fate.. Even though it regarded sacfricing Raziel. And knows the "true'"enemy

The Eldar God. (Which my guess is not a God. But a giant underground parasite. Of sorts.)

I know, but when I put down money for game (I got them both pretty late so they were like $5 each, but I pity the people who put down the full price for the games when they came out) I want a full story and in case of Soul Reaver 2 a decent challenge.

Blood Omen I gave a full story while opening up the possibility of a sequel. It was very well done.

I would have to say the ending of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. The only thing satisfying about it was getting to chop up Kreia (whom I grew to hate through out the game). The game gave closure to no one but Mira and Hanharr, and left several plot threads hanging.

oh man this is the topic for me..............

i was somewhat underwhelmed by Resident evil 4,the ending wasn't horrible but nothing was ever completely explained,as a matter of fact the story seemed side track-ish.RE0 on the other hand had a cool ending.

GTA:SA -ok so tenpenny is dead but nothing else really happens,they never explain what happens to grove street and the rest of the cast of characters.

I can't remember what game it was specifically, but there was an NES Contra ripoff where you'd pass the game, then the last screen says "Oh sorry, you won but the planet you're on blows up anyways. Too bad." :rolleyes:

Fable had an incredibly dissappointing ending. A summary text paragraph? Some stained glass window art? That's what you get for all that hard work.

Meh. Then again, it was only 10 hours long anyway. What a joke of an RPG.

Since I don't play many RPGs or adventure games requiring a lot of time investment, I can't really say this topic has come up much for me. I did play through Shenmue on the Dreamcast, and that's definitely leaves a lot of plot threads hanging and all, but I knew what I was getting in to when I bought it and still liked it for what it was. I remember Bloodrayne's ending being pretty anti-climatic, but hey, it's Bloodrayne. I didn't play it for the gripping story.

It was all worth it for the Gravemind scene after the credits.

Shadows of the Empire's ending also sucked unless you beat it on the hardest difficulty...

Considering some of the other ending NES games had, this one never struck me as horrible. You got to see your characters cheered on by Subcon while they tossed out Toad. Better than, "Thank you Mario. We give you a new quest. Press B to begin."

BlairH

Not a game at all, but I just finished reading "Preacher" and MAN I thought the end sucked big time! You can't KILL God for God's sake!

Anyways, the end of Silent Hunter III (a U-boat sim for the PC) sucked...No matter how good a Captian you are. The allies still win the war.

Shenmue was originally planned to be a series, spanning at least 3 games. The sequel was released on the XBox, and you can probably pick it up for about 2 dollars. :o I never beat the original and refuse to touch the XBox, but I'll always give credit to Sega for being innovative.

Chou Blaster

07-18-2005, 04:33 PM

I dunno... that last little scene with the emerging Red XIII-like species of tigers said a lot about the theme of the game.

Hopefully Advent Children will continue the characters' stories without negating the end of FFVII.

Why not get the X-Box? You are missing out on a lot of great games.

Oh, I'm actually looking forward to picking one up for cheap. There's a short list of exclusive games that I'm interested in, but it pales in comparison to the PS2's library. There's just so much more variety, in my opinion, and Sony just has better 3rd party developers in the long run.

All the platforms will get a nice price cut when the "next generation" of systems comes out over the course of this year and next. I can't wait. :D

I am getting the two cheapest Next Gen systems, the Nintendo Revolution and the X-Box 360. The PS3 will be too rich for my blood.

Or like me **** both 360 and nintendo, save up some cash and go for ps3 and never feel jeolous again. believe me sony's got it wraped this gen as well.
Actually, i'd had to wait and make a decision, for example, which console does Capcom decide to go for its resident evils and THQ and R* with its WWE and GTA franchises.
Though i think Capcom realised its mistake by making REmake exclusive to Gamecube and won't repeat it with revolution, it does release any RE for revolution it will most likely be a ps3 port.
Talk about Sega, i wish they could go with DC2! Oh that would rule i'd buy that no matter what - Sonic Adventure, RE2,3 and specially CV, Shenmue, Soul Calibur - they owe it all to the GREAT ALMIGHTY DREAMCAST! oh man the VMU pwned :D

On Topic - Alone in the Dark : new Nightmare for me, the ending sucked but the game rules, much scarier than any RE or SilentHill (i hate Silent Hill)

If the PS3 costs way too much than the Revolution and the 360, and they deliver the same level of graphics, the PS3 will fail.

I wasnt impressed with the ending of Kingdom Hearts even though it was a cool game.

I think I know what you mean. I was a bit upset that the hero didn't get a really happy ending. But I liked the moment where Sora tells Ansem that Kingdom Hearts is light just before the door opens. Was it only light because of Sora? I thought it worked well.

After playing Castlevania 2 for so long, I had hoped for a better ending than the 10 seconds in front of a tombstone with one paragraph.

Ah, but if you do better playing it you can get better endings.

Great game, had a blast playing every level in every world, and I beat it and I get nothing, just a chance to play again

Funny, I liked the end of Super Mario Bros 3 -- the "our princess is in another castle" fake-out? The thing I hated about Super Mario 1 is that it didn't really end -- the new quest. SM3 actually breaking out of that was a very nice touch.

Not a game at all, but I just finished reading "Preacher" and MAN I thought the end sucked big time! You can't KILL God for God's sake!

Well, you can if he's a douche, like the God in Preacher. He killed The Saint's family. The Saint got revenge. Sucks to be God.

I hated the ending for Final Fantasy VII. No closure whatsoever. At least we have Advent Children coming out soon.

I think it was a mistake to leave the end ambiguous -- after so much character development it would have been nice to see the characters have their own stories properly concluded.

I'll ad one -- the good ending for Shadow Hearts 2. I got the bad ending first. I actually liked it -- it was poignant. So I replay for the good ending, and... the hero dies!? Wha...?

Yuri killed himself because he'd rather die and retain his memory of Alice than to lose everything. I thought it was rather admirable. It was his devotion to Alice that caused him to do what he did, and I thought that was pretty sweet.

What I disliked about SH2's ending was that Karin ended up being Yuri's mom. The game hinted at that a good number of times (loads of foreshadowing from Disc 2 on). I didn't really have anything against the twist, as it was pretty cool, but the reason the twist happened didn't sit well with me.

Alright, you still curious about this? It sure sounds wacky, but it's definitely intriguing. Kojima had a lot to say that not a lot of people picked up on, unfortunately.

This is complex stuff, but I'll try and summarize what I think. Based on the ending of MGS2, I'm led to believe that the mysterious Patriots are in fact an entity, created unknowingly by America, back when the nation was first founded, and has been guiding America behind the scenes ever since! I believe they also had a hand in placing Bart Sears into the presidency. Wild, huh?

Apparently, Revolver Ocelot is some kind of triple-agent (although it appears he's worked for just about everybody at this point), also taking orders from the Patriots. This fact, their mention in MGS3 (which I still haven't wrapped my head around just yet), and the announcement that they'll be heavily involved in MGS4 (and how many times has Kojima said "this is my last game"...?) means we'll probably be seeing a face placed to the name in the future.

What interests me most is the mention of the Patriot Act in the game, long before its' real, official, public notice. Did Kojima know something we didn't...?

I'd link straight to it if I could, but there's a great plot analysis on this (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/913941.html) page. Good luck!

Yes Final Fantasy Seven was the first lengthy RPG to have an open ended vague ending that left readers wonder WTF happened to the main characters. Due to that games incredible success all rpgs from that point on had very short vague endings. I preferred the old days where the ending to a game took thirty minutes to get through like Final Fantasy six or Lufia one and two.

Final Fantasy IX wasn't too vague.
A new generation of Black Mages(the 'Sons of Vivi') are born, Freya is reunited with her old love, Steiner finally tells Beatrix that he loves her, Aramant hooks up with Lina and hits the road, Quina becomes the palace chef, Eiko is adopted by Regent Cid and his wife Hilde, and Garnet is reunited with Zidane at the end of the theatrical production. The last bit was kind of predictable, but the final animation was gorgeous!

Okay, I think you SSM might be able to help me. I am thinking of getting an X-Box, mostly because of this game I've heard about. I don't know the game's name however. I do know, though, that the game (which sounds like a lot of fun) involves you basically rolling over things. You're a small ball pretty much, but the point of the game is to become bigger and bigger. If you can tell me please SSM (or anyone else for that matter) the name of said game and if it's available on the X-Box, you will have converted me for sure! Thanks in advance!

Oh, and to get back on topic, games like Dungeon Master II for the PC and Tiger Heli for the NES had bad endings. Dungeon Master had more graphics for the intro than the ending, and when coupled with how long one can spend in getting to the end of that game, the ending kind of pales. Over all, it's a fun game, but lame ending.

Tiger Heli just did the Game Over ending.

All in all, the Rush'N Attack ending of Congratulation sounds the lamest.

What I got out of the Ending to MGS2.

The Patriots were a group of 12 people that more or less ran the world. (Think Illuminati style.)
The Patriots were all Founding Fathers (ie guys who worked with George Washington and Ben Franklin to found America as an independent country.)
Somewhere along the way they discovered a method of becoming immortal and decided to go the Vandal Savage route. (IE fake their own deaths from time to time and pretend to be bussiness men while running the country in secrecy.)

Made perfect sense to me.

Now as for bad endings, agreement on Soul Calibre 1 and 2 (weak for their lack of CGI.)

Shenmue was mega disapointing. (You do an amazing hard fight, and you're allowed get on a boat to go to Hong Kong.)

I knew it was all meant to be part of an larger story but still...(The fact that your trip on the boat that's not shown in any of the games is meant to be a chapter to the Story is also lame.)

Soul Reaver's ending was due to time constraints (the original ending/ missing stuff can be viewed in this link.)

http://www.thelostworlds.net/index.html

The ending to Quak also was terrible.

Props for Knights of the Old Republic 2 for having such a fun game and then find out how incomplete and rushed it was, in fact its almost comical. However heartbreaking when you find out what the game was supposed to be like.

I've heard there's a team working to restore lost scenes and etc.

If you think knights was rushed I dare you to play Pirates of the Caribbean on Xbox. It was developed by the company that brought us the Elder Scrolls series so the game itself was brilliant. The only problem is that the game had to be released to coincide with the movie and no failed to notice a bug that would RESET the game every two minutes.

I can’t comment on the ending of knights of the old republic two on the account I have yet to play through a game where I did not encounter a bug that necessitated me to start over from scratch.

The last bit was kind of predictable, but the final animation was gorgeous!
I don't really see any of the post-VII endings being vague.

VIII: They beat Ultimecia, Squall almost becomes lost in the timestream, but is able to use his feelings for Rinoa as a beacon to get back home (after a brief stopoff at the orphanage sometime in the past). After that, there's a big party in Balamb Garden, which Selphie and Irvine are taping.

IX: Covered.

X: Yu-Yevon is defeated, Yuna sends Auron, Tidus vanishes, and Yuna gives a big speech at the Luca dome.

X-2: Lenne and Shu-Yin are finally put to rest, the Leaders put an end to the squabbling between groups, and Yuna and the Gullwings go off to their next adventure. Plus, if you get the Good Ending, the Fayth bring back Tidus.

By vague I’m referring to facts that since Final Fantasy Seven developers have given us short open ended unresolved endings. Now if they immediately produce a sequel, like they did with Final Fantasy X or more recent Shin Megami games I have no problem with endings acting as a set up for the next installment. But C’mon we waited over eight years for a sequel to F7 and all we are getting is an animated feature and a Vincent side story.

Halo 3 is kinda anti-climatic.

Holy old thread resurrection Batman.

Anyway, I have to agree with what some others said in that Knights of The Old Republic II was the worst ending ever. I was positive that after killing Kreia I'd hit a bug and the game had skipped the ending. Afterall KOTOR I gave a real ending with resolution. So I fought Kreia again and again and again and kept getting no ending. Finally I go online to find the patch which I'm sure will fix the problem only to learn that this non ending was in fact the ending.

Then I learn that basically there was this big glorious ending planned but the game had to be rushed in order for a Christmas release so they basically just ended the game rather than finish the story.

I think it was a mistake to leave the end ambiguous -- after so much character development it would have been nice to see the characters have their own stories properly concluded.

Character development?
Judging from the movie, they all went on to continue not having defined characters, aside from Cloud.
And oddly, vincent, who didn't even get a partialy fleshed out story, didn't appear in the ending cut scene, didn't even need to be in your group, and then got the biggest role of a supporting character in advent children, and his own game.
Go figure.

Sudeki (X Box): A puppet show explains the ending.

Silent Hill 3. The "Blondes have more fun" ending--which is the regular one.

Die Hard (Arcade). Fun ride to the top. Then the girl you've been sent to rescue you thanks you and the credits roll.

Kameo's ending is pretty lame.

Evil Sister: I hate you! You must die!
Kameo: Oh no, I suddenly realised that the Mystic has been tricking us all along!
Evil Sister: I love you! Together we can kill the Troll King and save the day!
Kameo: Yay!
Evil Sister: Our combined powers forming the giant energy blast won't be enough, I'll break out of it before it hits and sacrifice myself instead!
Kameo: Yay!
Mystic: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh, and Contact. The hero is abandoned by the Professor and then you're forced to destroy his self-esteem, making him go back home and never trust anyone ever again.

KOTOR2 did have a very disappointing finale, so I agree with the people who've said so.

Another finale which really isn't bad per se, but I found amusing is Neverwinter Nights 2. Basically, you defeat the bad guy, save the world...

And then you're treated to nice closure texts for many places and characters you've met in your journeys, and how (if you were a good guy, at least) their lives are very much improved. Except for you and all your closest loyal followers, with whom you've just shared a powerful bonding experience (the "we'll follow you to the end! Huzzah!"). You kind get buried alive after the evil lair of the Big Bad caves in.

The End*.

* Yes, I am aware that the expansion continues the story, but at the time...

I played Knight rider for PC for a minute, and I think its the worst game of all times

You know what bugs me? How all the Zelda's end. I hate how nothing really changes when you beat the game. That just bugs me. It was so dissapointed after finishing Ocarana (sp?) and not having anything change at all. It makes you feel like your missing something. I remember after beating OOT hearing the rumor you could find the triforce to officially beat the game. Me and my friends spent hours to no avail. It just bugs me...

Psi Ops. It was an awesome game, but the ending was a minute long cliffhanger designed to lead into a sequel that is never going to happen.

I hated that ending so much. I invested all of that time and emotional energy into the game and suddenly I get handed a cheap-ass ending.

God, I hope 'No More Heroes' (another Suda 51 game) doesn't pull that kind of bullcrap on me. =|

Also, 'Soul Reaver' is one of the classic worst endings ever: You get a 'To Be Continued'. And that's pretty much what you get as well with Soul Reaver 2 as well.

Although FWIW, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are the only Zelda games that actually have a well-thought out ending.
