The Most Disappointing Endings This Generation

It’s really important that the ending of a game is great as it’s always our last memory of it and is bound to stick out the most. Unfortunately though, it can’t be said that all game developers have learned this lesson and have unfortunately released games that have left players thinking what just happened, or just left angry by the lack of thought put into the ending. Here we will take a look at some of the most disappointing endings this generation!

[RivetCityGhoul]

Resistance 3 was probably the most disappointing ending this gen for me at least. the single-player was flawless. everything about it was perfect until it got to the ending.

[jakmckratos]

Wait how was the ending disappointing? The series is called resistance and it ends with the human resistance finally winning and the chimera starting to fade out. It was perfect and honestly the only way to end the series.

[RivetCityGhoul]

because the ending was very cliche and didn't leave it open for possible future sequels. resistance my personal favorite FPS to come from sony. if it was gonna end there shouldn't be stupid side stories like Resistance BS coming out. as much as i love resistance that game sucks. if it was uncharted i bet alot people would be saying the same thing im saying.

***************************SPO ILERS************************** ***

What are you talking about? The resistance didn't win. Capelli merely stopped a machine that would have frozen over the country and killed the people inhabiting it. The Chimera are still alive and continue to force humans into hiding past the end of the game.

***************************** ******************************* ******
Personally, I was disappointed with it because of the lack of resolution. Mostly because nothing significant happened. The situation at the beginning of the game ends up exactly the same as it is at the end.

[Kingdom Come]

I was kind of hoping, as a twist, that on Capelli's return, he would discover that Susan, Jack and the rest of the group had been killed by the Chimera during his absence and to at least develop the story more. As Midnyt stated above, the game ends in the same position as the start, which makes the entire journey feel like a waste of time...

Rage and Borderlands

[Redrum059]

Hate all cod endings, they always sneek up on me when I think im barely midway through the game LOL.

[Dovahkiin]

Hate endings like that, you're thinking hmmm wonder how far through the game I am, we'll see i guess. Then the final mission rears it's ugly head.

[Redrum059]

Ofcourse its not just cod, but endings like that cause the$60 feel like they're not well spent. That's when gamestop comes in to try n rip someone off for the game that causes gamers to feel ripped off in the first place.

Gamestop and bad games go well together haha

[ritsuka666]

Awwn, Killzone 3 for sure. Killzone 3 ending was so disappointing, to the point it was embarressing. URGH!

[colonel179]

I think a lot of people didn't even realize it was the ending until the credits started to roll. It was just incomplete.

At least there will be Killzone 4

[TekoIie]

If they had shown a little further than "Look at the planet" and shown what they planned to do next then I think it would have been good.

Still did the bad guy (I forget his name) in KZ3 live or die? Just wondering about the part after the credits.

[Kingdom Come]

Gears of War 3, to me, someone of who has been following the franchise from day one, brought a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy. The games I believe are deserving of this title are:
- Mass Effect 3 (A trilogy of choices, resulting in a choice of colours, even the extended ending felt hugely disappointing)
- Uncharted 3 (Despite great acting throughout, the ending was completely throwaway)
- Alan Wake (Great game, terrible ending)
- Resistance 3 (Just, terrible, the campaign was enjoyable, but as an ending to a trilogy, it felt completely forgettable)
- RAGE (It feels as though no effort went in to the ending whatsoever)
- Borderlands (An absolute joke...)

[Frankfurt]

Alan Wake had the best ending this generation. If you don't realize what the last line means, i'm sorry but you shouldn't be playing a game Alan Wake.

The DLC and American NIghtmare weakened the ending greatly, but the ending of the main game is the best ending of the generation, by a country-mile.

[TekoIie]

Yeh and the DLC ending (extended ending if you will) only added to my hype for the next! Come on Remedy show us something!!!

But yeh American Nightmare had a "meh" ending. I mean did he actually make it back to the real world or was the movie a "message" that he picked up from the outside world and so he got to speak to Alice for a while or am i getting it all wrong?

[Psycho_Mantis]

What eles do you expect from Uncharted 3? Drake and Sully holding hands skipping off into the sunset?

......Oh wait..........

[pandehz]

Rage easily

The game does not have an ending

Suddenly credits lmao

[MidnytRain]

Most definitely a set-up to a sequel.

[deletingthis34675334]

...that will never happen.

[Relientk77]

It really dissapointed and annoyed me because I loved Rage, and played it start to finish. I was completely hooked on it and I definitely want Rage 2

[--Onilink--]

I would add to that list Killzone 3, infamous 2 and borderlans 1.

As a (dis)honorable mention, i wasnt particulary thrilled about how similar was uncharted 3 ending compared to the second one. Amazing game though, and the ending is not bad, just too similar

[prototypeknuckles]

wait what was so bad about infamous 2 endings both were completly different and if a seqel was to be made, both sides could be completly different

[--Onilink--]

Well my problem with infamous wasnt so much story wise, it just felt underdeveloped. I felt they focused way too much on bertrand and didnt gave him a decent ending. And then with "the beast", it felt weird, like oh now he's here, then he vanishes for the last segment, and then bam, final boss fight straight away. I felt they could have developed the character more, specially after we find out who he is. Compared to the ever present kessler in infamous 1, i feel they could have made it more interesting. And the figth was absurdly easy

[prototypeknuckles]

prince of persia 08, i love that game to death but that ending just sucks no resolution and a trophy that says to be continued, and its been 4 years and still no reloustion

[ForRealz17]

Gears 3 was a horrible game in general. Probably the worst this gen.

[prototypeknuckles]

worst game this gen, what about sonic 06

[Relientk77]

There are definitely worse games for sure:

Duke Nukem Forever
Damnination
Dark Void
Quantum Theory
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Balls of Fury
Ninjabread Man
many Wii 3rd party games
movie video games

[admiralvic]

There were worse endings...

Mindjack and Bodycount come to mind, but at least others don't need to be reminded.
