Mod The Sims - Crappiest ending you've ever come across?

Sonic 06's ending was good and bad at the same time. The ending wipes out pretty much everything that happened during the game except that Silver still pops up sometimes, but then again that's a good thing because it's almost universally accepted that it's a horrible game. I'm glad they kept Silver though, he's one of my favorite Sonic characters.

Sonic Riders Zero Gravity's ending was much worse though. You just beat this random final boss and suddenly Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy are sitting in Tails' hovercar talking about how the Babylon Rogues are aliens. Then Jet suddenly comes out of nowhere and starts racing Sonic, the end. :confused:

For someone as epic as Captain Falcon, F-Zero GX's ending wasn't that great, except that he keeps up his air of mystery when he takes off his helmet but you're not shown his face. After saving the entire universe he walks away and that's it. Whee.

Would you call it a crappy ending though? I mean for your character it was pretty crappy sure but in terms of an ending from the perspective of the player I thought it was brilliant and certainly not what I was expecting.

Fahrenheit; the ending is just like "what??"! Well actually I think the entire second half of the game is just too stupid :wtf2: But it's actually a good game if you can overlook the weird parts of the storyline :blink:

Fahrenheit has several endings, which one do you mean? Personally I loved the "hero saved the day, all is well again" ending, but then again I'm cheesy like that.

edit: I cried.

What?
I really love that game. :D

ElPresidente

12th Apr 2009, 12:14 PM

What Caroline is talking about is where David Cage dropped the ball on the storyline entirely and brought in this stupid AI + prophecy bollocks.

Thankfully Cage has admitted it was an error in story telling and we shouldn't see the same in Quantic Dream's next two titles - Omikron 2 and Heavy Rain.

Incidently for fans of Twin Peaks; Angelo Badalamenti scored Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy if you are in North Amercia). I'm sure any Twin Peaks fan worth their salt would have picked up in the similarities of score composition.

I loved Fahrenheit but God damn... the final story elements were an absolute joke (oh... and... necrophilia say what?! :P)

For great game story telling you really can't go past Dreamfall, The Longest Journey, Syberia, Planescape Torment, Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines and the first 3/4 of Fahrenheit. :P

Lucas was so hot even as a dead guy that I must have been the only one who was not bothered by necrophilia in the game. :D

ElPresidente

Well I'm a bloke and considering I was playing the role of the Lucas I didn't mind either... I just wanted to shag Carla. ;)

Actually I have to tip my hat to Fahrenheit for being the first game in my mind to have a genuinely hot, non-exploitative and ultimately believable sex scene between Tyler and his lady.

Damnit... all this chat about the game has made me start installing it again just now. :P

All of them are essentially the same, no matter what you do with the girl you end up with Carla and she's pregnant :S It just seems so unrealistic! At the start, Carla is so dedicated to catching him and hates him, then all of a sudden she's like "ooh no wait, I love you lets have sex in a grotty old train station whilst there are many tramps probably watching us"! Lucas is disgusting lmao he is so old at the end for some reason

To each their own I guess. He's dead, do you expect a living corpse to look shiny and young?

The next Fallout 3 DLC expansion is alleged to remove the inability to continue the game after the end.

*minor spoiler*

Having the Brotherhood of Steel lass show up at the end and have the dialogue sound like there was some form of kinship between the two of you was utter dross. You'd met twice before and only for a few minutes. She wouldn't give a crap about you and vice-versa. You're hardly long serving comrades.

I loved this game but the last 1/3 of it, for me, was spoiled by it getting so fighty. All problems were resolved by fighting, whereas up to that point, there were varied and more interesting solutions. Apparently, the game developers really pushed the game writers to get it finished and it shows. I was bored by the end which is an enormous shame.

I personally think most of the Pokemon endings are crap. I think the game goes on for too long when you're playing and then when it ends it feels too short ¬_¬ bah.

& Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 [or 3] is quite bad for ending. I hate games that go into free style when you're done. It's so boring sometimes.

Pokémon is just "oh, you beat the Elite Four and the Champion! Here, have some credits!" -spoiler-
You get a small scene before the credits where you get registered in the Hall of Fame, then the credits. After the credits, I think you're sent back to the title screen. If you continue, you'll find yourself back in your hometown, to explore, finish your Pokédex, and barely anything else. Except in Diamond. Then you have those post-game things to do. -end spoiler-

The worst is the ending on pokemon red/blue. i don't mean the elite four ending, I mean the 'prize' you get for collecting all the pokemon. Which I did, spending all day using rare candies and trading across with my brother, only to find that all you get is a crappy fake certificate in-game which basically says 'well done kiddo' Thanks a bunch. Not. Massive waste of time. Gah.

ElPresidente

18th Apr 2009, 11:03 PM

This is a no brainer for me...Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The game was fantastic, perhaps better than the first KOTOR. The storyline was engaging, character development was nice...but, where KOTOR had two different, yet very satisfying endings depending on whether you were light side or dark side, KOTOR II gives you ONE ending, which feels rushed, like they were on a deadline, it was the day before, and hadn't even started the ending sequence yet, and it leaves you going "that's it? I played this game for this long, and that is all I get?" You feel cheated by it.

This is pretty much on the money. A deadline was exactly what had happened. Obsidian had been pushed to get this game out the door sooner rather than later and as a result had to make the difficult decision to axe a significant part of the game's final acts.

A better, more complete (and branching) script had been written which, thanks to discovered sound files, has enabled the start-up of the Sith Lords Restoration Project (http://www.team-gizka.org/index.html).

It is still incomplete (planned release this year) but it restores the original ending plus key scenes deleted from the game. It should bring the final arc of the game up to the standard of the rest.

Here's the trailer video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLSbAFzxkb0) on Youtube. Just ignore the 2008 bit at the end. They are still in development.

Gah, it may be old, and kinda cheesy, but Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets on PS2. You spend hours running around, sneaking about because of all the prefects (or whatever the nighttime guardy people are called) waiting to get you. The whole game was pretty much about sneaking all across the Hogwarts grounds, kinda suckish really. BUT, you get to the end, finish the last task, and then the game quits. I think it went to credits, or maybe just the home screen. Wtf!? I spent ages on that, and it wipes all data from it's memory since the last save (probably just before the last bit)! It sucks. And technically, it never ends, since you can't save. I thought you'd be able to save afterwards, and run round exploring to your heart's content, but oh no...

And madisonx, that's nothing! When first playing Pokemon yellow, I feared the big, scary thingy (Picatchu) stalking behind me!

madisonx

19th Apr 2009, 04:05 PM

I only ever played HP & The Chamber Of Secrets once and I didn't like it because it seemed extremely boring & kinda hard.

Haha, I remember once, I was sat on the staircase playing and I was like walking towards the grass, heart thudding, and found a ratata. I started crying ):
It didn't help that the talk of the town was about the mystery dogs and glitches in Pokemon. Finding Missingno still scares me now :|

Ooo I always feared catching the rare pokemon too. On the original games, Articuno, Moltres and, that other one... You only have that one shot (unless your clever and save beforehand. Sadly at that young age, you don't have such common sense haha) and if it goes wrong, boom, gone forever. Thank god for cheat devices eh =]

Cube is with you there. Cube was severely unimpressed with the ending, it was utterly ridiculous.

But worst video game ending ever? Fable II. After all that build-up and the severely difficult challenges just to reach the end, that's it? Seriously? Weaksauce! D:

Of course, being able to continue playing after the main story is complete is a lot of fun, particularly since many of the quests are still available if you haven't completed them, some new quests become available (i.e Castle Fairfax), and the Bounty Hunter, Slave Rescue, Assassination and Civilian Displacement quests are ongoing.

ElPresidente

24th May 2009, 02:17 PM

I don't understand people being disappointed in the Fable II ending. I never saw a stage where the story ever became significantly complex enough for me to expect an ending that was anything greater than the quality of the rest of the story.

I loved Fable II (one of my favourite 360 releases of last year) however the story was not the reason I enjoyed it so.

Requiem19: To be honest the game felt too short, because it was a totaly pointless game. KH 2 didn't compare to the first, at all. The ending was terrible, and it had nothing to do w/ Disney in any way, which sucks 'cause that's the whole point of the freakin' game. Now the third one will probably have squat to do with Disney, so they might as well call it something else...like Nomura's failed attempt to care about other talented creations aside his own...ya know, I kinda like that title. :D

I had fun playing the game, still occasionally do, but for all the great character development in the game, the ending was feeble. I mean, the whole game was plot-intensive (c'mon, it's an RPG for crying out loud) but when you finish, you get little more than a very short cutscene in which you fly off in your spaceship.

It's not a crappy ending, just because it's not perfectly happy doesn't make it bad

Anyway, I picked revenge, so Kate died, and honestly I did not care about her at all, so glad Roman survived, would've been sad if I got the ending where he died

Well there was this game where the main character died in the end. it was kind of a puzzle, RPG, psychological game. oh no actually she didn't die, she was already dead. she thought she lost her memories but the truth she was 37 years dead already, and the people she thought were the enemies were actually the real living thing.

If you ever think of the name of that game Aya I'd love to know what it is. I'm intrigued.

KOTOR II: The Sith Lords.

I had fun playing the game, still occasionally do, but for all the great character development in the game, the ending was feeble. I mean, the whole game was plot-intensive (c'mon, it's an RPG for crying out loud) but when you finish, you get little more than a very short cutscene in which you fly off in your spaceship.

Ahh yes, we all got stung with that one. The unfortunate reality of that situation though is that Obsidian (the developer) was not given enough time by Lucasarts to finish the game. A bunch of suits essentially decided development had gone on long enough and informed Obsidian they had to have it complete by day X. End result... and ending that had a significant amount of content cut from it to meet deadline.

Thankfully there is the Knights of the Old Republic 2 Restoration Project which is seeking to insert all the cut material back into the game to produce an ending that does justice to the exceptional Chris Avellone story. It has been some time since the last update to the site (April last year) but presumably it is still in development. Hopefully it won't be too long until this is made available.

I didn't like the ending for The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. The following contains no spoilers:

Throughout the game Gerahlt is pushed past the safety of neutrality and forced to side with either a racist regime or abject terrorists. From each perspective, you can understand how suffering caused them to adapt to their current policies. I was so absolutely captivated by the sense of hatred and losing one's morality in the face of unmerciful opposition and cruel misfortune that I had geared myself up for the most dire conclusion where it revealed how low one would sink to even the score, no matter the cost.

And then chapter five happened, that had absolutely nothing to do with anything. And this marked the beginning of disaster. And the nail in the coffin: the conclusion that noone asked for, whose material ignored the engaging theme of loss and resentment, and instead threw us a far-fetched, hard to grasp, cosmic pun with the twist we had already deciphered in the first act because it was so obvious. In short, much of the game built itself upon a sound concept. And all of it was put aside to make room for a final note that seemed too vast to grasp, too foreign to fit, and too sudden to sink in.

Anything with a "to be continued" at the end of it really pisses me off or something that leaves you hanging like a "wtf..." moment.
I actually wish that Resident Evil 4 had an alternate ending if you beat it on pro or something along those lines.
Silent Hill games have like 5 endings each game so I don't have to worry about those...
