these are the epic conclusions that
earned a standing ovation from gamers
I’m putting on a little show for you
it’s going to be a doozy
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten greatest video game endings for this
list we’re looking at the video game
finales that managed to end on a
satisfying note and stay true to the
narrative offering a good sense of
closure whether or not we were cheering
or weeping by the end of it we complete
our mission and what mission would that
be sir
just get me a cut damn radio we’re
basing our choices on a mixture of fan
boats popularity and our own personal
preference obviously every entry is
basically a spoiler so a massive spoiler
alert is hereby in effect this over we
won
number 10 The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt we
were right to come I was deeply troubled
no idea it’s very rare that a franchise
manages to finish off a trilogy on such
a high note when said high note is one
of the greatest games in the franchise
and is regarded as the best game of the
entire year you know that you got
something nothing short of spectacular
let’s Ferris on see if we can’t find
something even more interesting
depending upon a ludicrous amount of
variables throughout the game the
various endings for Geralt his romantic
life ciri and the fate of the northern
kingdoms all vary greatly glad to see
the horses in good hands the best his
owners however were especially fond of
the ending that see ciri becoming the
new emperor as it features a touching
segment where she and Geralt wander the
woods and enjoy their last fleeting
moments together
number nine Batman Arkham City get out
of my way bats I’ve got a date with
immortality this equal more than matched
its predecessor in terms of a dark
nature most of which was due to the
superb portrayal of Batman’s greatest
foe while he may have been calling the
shots in the madhouse the Joker was
shown to be vulnerable and desperate as
he slowly begins to waste away due to
the events of Arkham Asylum a confusing
isn’t it I know I want to know just what
that L is going on if I were you his
chances for salvation go down the drain
when his murderous habits force him to
take a stab at the bat only to break the
cure for his condition instead think of
it as a runnin the best part here Batman
tells The Joker something that makes him
laugh one last time even after
everything you’ve done I would have
saved you number eight Gears of War
three
what’s left on them
what if we got that now Marcus Fenix and
company have been to hell and back again
several times over in their campaign to
destroy the vicious M but ugly locusts
and we’ve been there to enjoy every
second of it no regrets no looking back
yeah sure dad we better get going after
discovering that Phoenix’s father had
found a way to end the threat the gears
have to endure wave after wave of
enemies before the device that can kill
them is activated even then it comes at
the cost of atom B X’s life I’m glad I
was able to see you again Marcus
now go and live with so many friends and
loved ones added to the enormous body
count seeing Marcus Drive that knife
into the locust queen was ever so
satisfying humanity and always finds a
way to survive that’s from DOM and
everyone else you killed you bitch
number seven BioShock Infinite given by
my daughter oh the Bioshock franchise
has prided itself on exploring the
darker side of humanity’s nature its
latest installment very much sent
players on a wild trip through various
timelines leading to the rather
depressing ending where our protagonist
must decide who he truly wants to be or
not be
what if I went back killed him before he
did any of us things get set in motion
how would one know how far back to go
with so many booker dewitt scattered
across infinite realities some of them
always end up becoming the villainous
Comstock so Parker decides that he wants
to remain a good man and allows the
various incarnations of Elizabeth to
drown him in order to protect her many
many futures who are you chose to walk
away but other oceans
didn’t you took the box or something
confusing totally heartbreaking also yes
nothing I cut off her finger and you put
it on a number 6 Mass Effect 2 Cerberus
is humanity I should have known you
children the hard decisions too
idealistic from the start the highlight
of this epic space opera definitely came
from the second outing working with the
shady Cerberus organization and awesome
otherworldly characters Commander
Shepard must traverse the galaxy to
defeat the fearsome collectors who have
a bad habit of kidnapping and liquidize
Inhumans
depending on who you’ve sided with and
helped out throughout the course of the
game as well as who he was signed to do
what during the infamous mission who
lives and dies can also vary greatly
including Commander Shepard himself by
offering a similar but different ending
to everyone who plays Mass Effect two
manages to finish off on a surprisingly
personal note for those who get to the
end we do things my way from now on
Harbinger is coming and he won’t be
alone I’m gonna make sure we’re ready
when they get here you can fall in line
or step aside
number five spec ops the line everything
all this it was your fault that’s what
you believe then shoot me throughout
this horrifyingly surreal take on
conflict and its consequences
captain Martin Walker is convinced that
the atrocities committed in war-torn
Dubai were caused by a rogue soldier by
the name of Conrad someone has to pay
for your crimes Walker
who’s it gonna be after tracking him
down players were greeted to the harsh
truth that Conrad had been a
hallucination the entire time as a way
to shift the blame for Walker’s own
murderous actions following a massive
manslaughter with white phosphorus he’s
trying to rest his feet
a shell of his former self players were
left to decide Walker’s fate return home
is a broken man take the easy way out or
embrace the monster within gentlemen
welcome to Dubai number four The Last of
Us ah how am I wearing let’s take it
easy
drugs are still wearing off there hasn’t
been a game to date that’s captured the
sense of tension and hopelessness quite
like this survival horror wait was it
operating there while the thrills of
escaping clickers and cannibals
definitely kept gamers on the edge of
their seats
it was the slow building relationship
between Joel and Ellie that kept them
emotionally invested I don’t think I
ever told you but uh Sarah and I used to
take hikes like this then the game
delivers an ending that left us feeling
internally conflicted as the player is
forced to watch Joel sacrifice
humanity’s future for the sake of Ellie
all because she’s filled the void left
in his life after his daughter’s death
swear to me that everything that you’ve
said about the fireflies is true
I swear whether you agree with his
actions or not there’s no denying that
it perfectly fits with the game’s somber
and grieving tone and they can still
make a sequel this way no matter what
you keep finding something to fight for
now I know that’s not what you want to
hear I swear to me
number three Shadow of the Colossus hmm
it was there no the Newton
in a bid to save his deceased love
wander seeks out the mysterious dormant
in an attempt to reverse her death it
instructs him that to do so he must slay
sixteen colossi but there will be a
heavy price to pay
sure enough after the last Colossus has
fallen it’s revealed that the ritual was
just a way for doorman to resurrect
himself with wander as his new host it’s
not long before the demon ends up
getting banished once again with wander
getting dragged along for the ride
new codes just to add insult to injury
his beloved is brought back to life just
afterwards
bittersweet doesn’t even come close to
describing this one
number two Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake
Eater
in this prequel we get to see the
original snake set out to kill his
treacherous mentor known as the boss a
legendary soldier and apparent Soviet
defector you’re a soldier
finish your mission after sneaking and
choking your way through the campaign it
all boils down to an emotional and epic
final fight with a painful ending that
forces the player to pull the trigger of
course the real heartbreak comes after
when it’s revealed that the boss never
defected and orchestrated her own death
as a way to protect the country that she
loved she was forbidden to tell you
herself that’s why she told me as you
can imagine there wasn’t a single gamer
who wasn’t weeping except for those who
skipped the cutscenes those are long man
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
mr. Salieri send his regards you know
the world isn’t run by the laws written
on paper oh me too
number one Red Dead Redemption I love
you I love now go get after so many
hours watching john marston battle
through various bandits and dodge an
endless amount of bullets we were just
happy to see him settle down with his
family at the end of it all we were then
greeted to one of the most heart
shattering scenes in gaming jac go into
the house lock all the doors whatever
happens don’t come outside you hear me
whatever happened Oh numbered and in a
desperate bid to save his wife and son
all the player can do is try to shoot as
many enemies as they can before this
happens
luckily the game offered one hell of an
epilogue two players assume with the
role of John’s son and hunch down the
dirty old conjurer that had ordered his
father’s death needless to say vengeance
was sweet do you agree with our list
