View Full Version : Endings that were not worth the play through for

Lunar 2 is my biggest gripe. I've only played the remake on PS1 but wow was I disappointed. By the middle of the game it just felt like repetitive(even for an older rpg) dungeon crawling. The end boss battle was the hardest END boss battles from any game that I remember. I even played through the epilogue and didn't like it either.

I'm pretty sure Star Ocean 2's equally a gyp with the ending.
Another bad one in particular was Chrono Trigger DS' ending. All it really does is imply that Magus is Guile, who he should have been in the first place.
And I imagine if -RoG- finally beat Pac-Man it wouldn't be worth it for him either.

Kid Chameleon. Such a fucking bitch of a game to get through, and the ending is awful.

Is it even worth playing through to get the ending? I only made it to disc 2 before I had to return it.

Game was a lot of fun to start off with and then got annoyingly hard later. Never beat it though.

Are you kidding
Mario 64's ending blew my mind, partially because I couldn't believe that I had finally finished it.

007: The world is not enough.
The end bond quote in the film version when he is in bed with Christmas Jones: "Oh, I thought Christmas only comes once a year." :love
The end bond quote in the video game: "Merry Christmas" :blah

It was a great game, but the story (If there even was one) sucked total shit. Hell, the "bad" ending makes a bit more sense

GTA4. I'd say the narrative was great but not great for a video game. In the end you have less then when you started, Nico's life is bleak and hopeless. In another medium this might have filled me with pathos but in this one it just left me unsatisfied.

Contra: Shattered Solider. This game took forever to beat and get the S ranking ending and ithe ending was terrible. The game itself was more rewarding than the ending.

You're supposed to go for the good ending so that it's only somewhat depressing.

Most Twisted Metal endings.
I literally just beat TM:Head On with Spectre and look at the shit I received.

I doubt it. Indalecio is fucking ridiculously hard. My characters are each level 120 and I STILL can't beat him.
Another game with a rip-off ending is Call of Cthulu's A-Rank ending. Because so little is different and it's really not worth the challenge to earn.
Also the ending you get with the custom cars and secret characters in Twisted Metal 4.
"Okay, you've won Twisted Metal!"
(Blank Screen)
"Your wish is granted! Thanks for playing!"

:lol @ twisted metal 4 endings. You'd think they would come up with something better than that. At least in Rogue Trip when you beat the game with a hidden char like Goliath it would tell you that you aren't going to get an ending because Goliath is overpowered and to try beating the game with a normal char.
The MK4 endings were dumb too.
Sonya: some guy tries pushing her off a cliff, she sidesteps
Some guy: Sonya pushed some guy off a cliff instead.
Jax: Some guy tries pushing Sonya off a cliff, Jax grabs her arm, then pushed some guy off cliff.

That guy's name was Jarek. You're right, though.
I watched a bunch of the ending videos for the game that Schimid posted. Wow. Really bad stuff.

here's two more:
Maximum Carnage. Beating what is undoubtedly one of the hardest platformers ever for a few bits from a comic book that isn't THAT hard to find.
Battletoads vs. Double Dragon. I never beat BUT if you beat it with the stage select+10 lives cheat that bird guy will mock and utterly bury you for doing such a thing.
bart's Nightmare has an ending? The best I could ever get was a B-grade because some of those games are ridiculous. not as horrible as Virtual Bart, but not good either.

First of all, it's a beat-em-up. Second, it's not very hard. Third, beat-em-ups don't usually have really elaborate endings.

hmmm I'd say Megaman 2. It didn't make any sense. 3 had a great ending though.

So the gameplay was good, but the story wasn't up to snuff? That's not really a valid complaint for a game from Midway, my friend.

Eternal Darkness.
I thought it was a pretty nasty twist that the only way to thwart Pious Agustus was to summon one of the other super magical Lovecraft space dragons to kick the ass of the one he called up, but then GHOST DAD comes in and conveniently saves the day by putting your guy back 5 minutes after he's let loose, and GUESS WHAT, KIDS, HAPPY ENDING.
I also thought it was sort of funny that an immortal skeleton magician who had been working out his complex plan for 2,000 years was defeated by a 20-something tart who not only was stronger than him because she read a book, but also performed the ancient summoning ritual that had taken him two millennia in about 20 minutes.

Yes, but
Alex was not alone. All the people that had to do with the Book of eternal Darkness pooled their power against Pius if I remember that correctly. It was the effort of 2000 years of suffering.

Aw c'mon, Madworld's ending had you killing the annoying teen "sidekick", but it would have been better if the final boss was something bigger

"sidekick" it was just a character that appeared during cutscenes no love or hate was built for him
Durrsomething
Apr 19th, 2009, 01:25 PM
But it was cool killing him, plus at the end, Bender and one of those podrace announcers from The Phantom Menance slam the game's crew
And how you dispose the final boss was awesome
If you want an ungodly lame ending, go play LIT. It is an awesome game though but the ending sucks total monkey fuck
darkvare
Apr 19th, 2009, 03:32 PM
the final boss was a joke it took me less than 3 minutes to kill him and i always change the channel when they don't let me skip the credits so i don't give a fuck
