Kane99 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) What are some good or even great games that had a horrible ending? There are a couple for me, the big one is probably Assassin's Creed III. I really enjoyed the game, most of the story and the setting, but the ending felt rushed and it was boring. For those wondering, you can read it below: Spoilers below: You chase down your father in a burning ship, which ends with a cutscene where you take his life if I remember correctly. After that I think it's mostly cutscenes and going to a location as Desmond. But to build things up, and end it like that, I thought was a disappointment. I wanted to actually battle it out in the end, but it just felt like a chase to the scene. Another game I like, but didn't like the ending, was GTA IV. Another where I thought the ending felt rushed, and didn't really give much of a payoff in the end. What are some good games that had a bad ending? I know Mass Effect 3 will probably be mentioned.

The Blackangel Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 RDR2 had a horrible ending. It leaves you with an empty feeling. Like something vital is missing, and truth be told, there actually is something missing. I absolutely love the game, but the ending is something I don't go for much anymore.

To be fair, it was the prequel to the original RDR1 so the ending being so open-ended kind of made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I know it was a prequel. But I still didn't like how it ended. It ended up causing an emotional connection to the characters (especially Arthur) that I have never felt before. I found a family that I ever had. And losing someone in that manner broke my heart. I didn't cry when my grandmother died, but I bawled my eyes out when Arthur died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowHammerYou Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 MGSV: The Phantom Pain. Nothing like spending hundreds of hours playing what was billed as the final chapter of Big Boss' saga, then finding out the character you're playing as isn't even Big Boss. That ending burned me so bad I haven't touched any of my MGS games since, and it used to be one of my favorite series. FFVII Remake. That game was so good until the last chapter where they brought in the multiverse BS that wasn't in the original game. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 For me, Probably MGSV. I kinda had an inkling of what the 'twist' was and I guess it makes sense as to why they didn't bring back David Hayter to voice "Big Boss". (Yes the quotes are intentional) only to find out you weren't playing as Big Boss, but, they kinda told you that in the beginning of the game if you were paying close attention anyways. It still seemed like a weak, shoe-horned in sort of ending IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever any series goes the multiverse route, it usually ends in disaster and the story becomes extremely convoluted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Assassin's Creed III definitely stands out for a lackluster ending, especially after such a rich story. Here are a few other games that also had great journeys but disappointing conclusions: 1. **Mass Effect 3** - Fans were divided over the ending choices, feeling they didn't honor the series' depth and player investment. 2. **Final Fantasy XIII** - While it had a solid gameplay experience, the ending left many feeling unsatisfied and confused about the overall plot. 3. **The Last Guardian** - Many loved the game's emotional journey, but the ending felt rushed and left numerous questions unanswered. 4. **Halo 5: Guardians** - Despite enjoyable gameplay, the story's conclusion disappointed fans, especially concerning character arcs and plot threads. 5. **Dragon Age II** - Although the game had strong character development, the ending seemed abrupt and lacked resolution for many storylines. Do you have any other games in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
