you’ve spent hours building up to a
grand finale and that anticipation was
rewarded with total crap
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down the top 10 worst video
game endings the paths are open but you
have to choose as you may have guessed
this clip contains major spoilers you
have been warned
number 10 Super Mario Sunshine kicking
off our list is the ending that proved
that a core Mario game should never even
attempt the sort of depth that
necessitates dialogue from a character
like Bowser jr. I’ve got something
difficult to tell you about Princess
Peach I know she’s not really my mom the
result was an unprecedented level of
badly dubbed 80s asks Saturday morning
cartoon cheese and one hell of a week
sign-off
I mean clearly the death of a water-gun
sounded like a tearjerker on paper right
Mario was I number nine resistance to as
far as pointless logs go resistance to
probably takes the ultimate prize having
played through the campaign as Nathan
Hale who is struggling with an alien
virus gamers expected to find a cure at
the end instead Hale becomes totally
possessed and begins to say some pretty
unsettling things Jenny Lee
College chores it’s beautiful so his
friends put a bullet in his brain and
the screen goes black she tries to make
G that was satisfying number eight
half-life 2 episode 2 half-life 2 may
have been a tour de force but its ending
was a jumble of loose ends time Dutta
Freeman so when three follow-up episodes
were announced fans eagerly awaited a
proper ending to their beloved series
with the horrific cliffhanger at the end
of episode 2 only further wetting their
appetites that was in 2007 years upon
years later dedicated fans are still
left wallowing in frustration over this
de facto conclusions
Oh dad dad oh my god
number seven Borderlands as a vault
hunter you and your friends just spent
dozens of hours fighting your way across
an alien landscape in search of the
vault said to contain unimaginable
treasure the suspense was killer and
apparently so was the prize shot to get
your team ready to go inside that’s
right inside the vault was a giant
freaking monster
no it wasn’t guarding treasure there is
no treasure I guess we should have seen
this coming
the planet is called Pandora after all
I’m sorry I couldn’t warn you about what
was in it but for you to be there to
stop it
it couldn’t have unfolded any other way
number six Bioshock Bioshock contains
one of the best twists ever found in a
video game
almost overshadowing the one found in
System Shock 2 – currently would you
kindly get this bitch clarifying
language
my bean head to Ryan’s office and kill
the son of a bitch
but after practicing their golf swing
with Andrew Ryan players are forced to
keep slogging through what was
definitely the weakest part of the game
then they get a crushingly standard boss
fight and a choice of two cookie cutter
endings array for morality choices they
offered you this city
and you refused it number five
Ghostbusters 1984 there are way too many
horrible retro game text endings to list
here so instead we’ll sum them all up
with this gem here it goes
the ultimate worst message far from
resembling a great game Ghostbusters
never really had anything to do with the
theme of justice because they were
busting ghosts not criminals so even if
the message had made sense what’s with
all these typos conglaturation seriously
number 4 halo 2 it may have been the
middle entry in the trilogy but if you
spent big money and stood in line at
midnight to get it then you expect a
fantastic game to have a satisfying
conclusion
instead it leaves off with a sudden
black screen cliffhanger the Profoto
would prove us even worse chief had
already signed out at the end of the
second to last stage so the finale was
an arbiter level if they run out of
money or something
Master Chief am i telling me what you’re
doing on that ship sir
finishing this fight
number three Star Wars Knights of the
Old Republic the six Lords this 50 hour
plus role-playing game had you spend a
great deal of time developing your
relationships with the supporting
characters just to bottleneck at a cheap
ending in which absolutely none of that
mattered no matter what you do
Korea collapses and the planet blows up
you never find out why she turned out to
be a Sith Lord or why you decided to
blow up the planet seriously what the
hell just happened
number two Mass Effect 3 this epic
trilogy is tightly focused on the theme
of personal choice even going so far as
to carry your decisions and characters
over between installments on your quest
to stop the Reapers
so when players get to the end and had
to pick for one of three cataclysmic
all-encompassing endings they were not
happy neither were they happy with their
hundred plus hours of gameplay spanning
three titles wrapped up into a
two-minute cutscene what happens to the
rest of your crew why did the mass
relays have to blow up does Garris ever
complete his stamp collection we need to
know number 1 ghosts and goblins taking
the top spot on our list is the nearly
impossible 8-bit game that pulled
gaming’s most infamous fast one here you
finish the entire game only to be told
that the final fight was an illusion
sending you back to the very beginning
only by beating the game again
immediately because there’s no save
option can you see the real ending
adding insult to injury even that read
like a badly translated fortune cookie
agree with our list a man chooses which
ending had you clamoring for a retcon
