Another Top 10 Worst Video Game Endings


get ready because the bad endings just
keep on coming Felix Turner pissed me
off
growling welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for another top ten worst endings in
video games here at last once more we’re
scouring the big wide world of gaming
for the most disappointing frustrating
or otherwise poorly constructed game
endings I’ve too long to not know this
day would go new or old abrupt or drawn
out anything that pushes our buttons and
leaves us fuming is on the table let me
show you the Tron number 10
fable to make a wish but choose wisely
choice can be a wonderful thing but what
happens when every option is kind of
terrible stop now you fool you insect
I order you to stop at the end of this
fantasy RPG the hero of Boers stone
stands victorious over the evil Lord
Lucien Fairfax after a seriously
anticlimactic standoff and innumerable
lives lost in the process
why must you interfere
oh I thought it’d never shut up
fortunately for the hero the serous the
Reza has the power to grant one wish she
can resurrect the innocent people lost
in the conflict revived the hero’s
family or gift the hero with a million
gold pieces what what do you choose no
matter which choice you make something
of value is gonna get lost a wish was
made and the world will bear its
consequences number nine Assassin’s
Creed 3 yes this is it we’re right
behind you sometimes it sucks to be the
hero
that’s probably what modern assassin
Desmond Miles was thinking when two
godlike beings presented him with a
choice at the end of 2012 Assassin’s
Creed 3 is this not why you fight is
this not why you came here to ensure
more than just your racist future but
its freedom Desmond is told he can
either sacrifice his own life to
activate a globe spanning shield that
will repel oncoming solar flares the
grounds will crack ass spit fire into
the skies
or he can let the flares hit and become
a messiah that inspires a religious war
you will be remembered first as a hero
later as a legend and in time as a God
naturally since the latter option is
frickin stupid desmond elects to give
his own life and in the process the
world’s future is kind of uncertain it’s
done Minerva the decisions made number
eight the order 1886 this is not the
outcome I saw it one of the first major
games of 2015 and it ends with such a
whimper finish what you have begun
vanish
our werewolf killing hero Galahad has
just bested his former ally Lucan and
can regain his status among the titular
order only surprise Lukens father and
Lord Chancellor of the same order comes
along to kibosh that plan I never meant
this life for you you knew instead
Galahad must kill Lucan and remain in
disgrace to protect the status quo we’re
not sure whether to be angered or
shocked by this story turn but we’re
certainly not feeling amicable the
revelation would shake our order to its
many foundations so I am to be
sacrificed this also leaves the door
open for an obvious sequel that
absolutely no one is asking for at this
point number seven alone in the dark
kill me questionable choices seem to be
a common theme here on the requests to
prevent the rise of Lucifer paranormal
investigator edward carnby and his
lovely friend sarah flores find
themselves standing before an
interdimensional gateway this is the
umbilicus between AA world and the next
edward activates the gateway drying-out
Lucifer only for Sarah to intervene
choose quickly carrier kill her or let
her near whether the player chooses to
shoot Sarah or spare her life someone is
always possessed by Lucifer and no one
we care about goes home happy
then there’s the dialogue I’m the light
bringer I’ve known universe number six
command & Conquer for Tiberium Twilight
listen learn your true purpose two paths
to choose from one inevitable outcome
disappointment go
whether your character commander Parker
chooses to ally with the Brotherhood of
Nod or the global Defense Initiative all
roads lead to the nod controlled screen
tower Kane the Brotherhood’s leader asks
Parker to use his ocular implant to open
an interplanetary portal and let the
Brotherhood leave earth with that you
can save this planet and I can finally
leave this earth unfortunately Parker is
only able to do so
thus ending a decades-long war after
being fatally wounded by his own former
commanding officer poor guy didn’t even
get to see the fruits of his labors he
would be also after years of being the
pioneers of FMV cutscenes this last bit
here seems awfully cheap especially for
2010 Cannes gone Yeah right
number five monkey island too lechuck’s
revenge wha that again even after 20
years gamers still don’t know what to
make of this one um the second adventure
of budding guy brushy wood comes to a
close when he and his mortal enemy will
a check come face to face once more
you’ll have to do better than that you
don’t scare me
having been critically injured lechuck
pleads with guy brush to remove his mask
which reveals him to be three foots
brother
then the to transform into kids running
around at a theme park and look
confusing doesn’t even begin to describe
it your mother and I were very concerned
the developers must have realized how
bad attending this was because in the
intro to the sequel the curse of Monkey
Island they just gloss over this whole
mess of an ending with the line I don’t
know how you escaped by carnival of what
I am yeah
neither do we now isn’t that better
number four Super Mario Brothers 2 this
one gives new meaning to the phrase life
is but a dream imagine you just faced
off against the evil Frog King wart and
now you’re being treated to the heroes
of Super Mario Brothers to enjoying
their success suddenly the screen shifts
to that of a sleeping Mario and the
message is clear the game you just
played was all Mario’s dream not only
does that undercut the feeling of
victory it’s also ridiculous in light of
the game introducing certain iconic
enemies and characters into Mario’s
cannon number 3 – human the dead
themselves walk upon this earth and I am
among them we’d really appreciate some
clarity on this one I’d drink up lad
there is much morning to be done to
human ends with the Acer corporation
cybernetically enhanced versions of the
Norse gods celebrating their victory
over evil all except the undead God
Bowser who’s weary of his comrades
attitude did you toast to me when I lay
upon a marble slab in Hell now although
this official ending is a muddled mess
there’s also a cliffhanger after the
credits that Kees is a sequel which as
we know now is definitely never gonna
happen we must find him
before he can orchestrate another attack
upon ask of
number two Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of
Liberty can I ask you something
Who am I really one of the recently
released phantom pain also hit
controversy for its somewhat
disappointing ending out of respect for
potential spoilers we’re going with the
problematic ending that’s been around
for a while no never heard the name
before it’s straightforward enough to
begin with as our androgynous hero ride
and bests the revolutionary leader
solidus in battle then the players are
rewarded with the following a lengthy
ham-fisted philosophical treatise
courtesy of Solid Snake a less than
clear declaration of love from ride into
his pregnant girlfriend and a
post-credits plot twist scene
undercutting all of snakes previous
efforts they’re already dead all 12 of
them when did it happen about a hundred
years ago it’s not really a great way to
get you pumped for the last fight but it
is a good thing that Metal Gear Solid
threes ending was really good otherwise
Kojima would have never lived this one
down
treat
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
well that’s not gonna happen there ain’t
gonna be any ghost scavengers take the
debris clean after the angels left this
section
number one sniper ghost Warrior
Razors six fours to set point and
eliminate general Bastas once and for
all
nothing’s quite as insulting as this in
the game’s final mission you are razor 6
for an elite sniper tasked with
eliminating one general Vasquez from
afar position it secondly you sneak over
a vantage point get a look at him
through your scope pull the trigger and
queue credits
that’s not joke either this game has the
audacity to end without providing any
sort of closure so what becomes a razor
6 for wheel eliminating the general make
the world a better place why should we
even care when the game certainly
doesn’t who knows
do you agree with our list of course
dear what game endings infuriated you
