Have you ever played a game that was absolutely phenomenal, but when you reached the ending, an extremely disappointing scene played out?

Dark Souls 1 definitely did that for me. Really not a big fan of both endings.

    Curse of Monkey Island. They ran out of time and budget and it just… ends, with a quick whimper of a cutscene. Wish they’d do a Director’s cut HD remake with the original planned ending.

    Honestly to many to count. The only super good ending I’ve seen(and accepted) is uncharted 4, it wraps up nicely drake and Elena get a happy ending and we all might get a 5th game playing as his daughter.

    Shadowrun on the SNES.

    After everything you’ve been through, fighting through the syndicate, destroying a damn dragon on the top of a skyscraper (with or without rocket launcher!), you just hop in a helicopter and leave the city.

    Echoes in my memory as a very, very, very bland ending…

    This might be a “hot take” considering it’s about to win about 500 GOTY awards, but Baldur’s Gate 3. Ending was rushed and underwhelming af.

        honestly k&l 2 kinda blew my mind for how stylized it was. 1 was pretty generic outside of the dialogue when bleeding out but 2 was honestly one of the most visually unique and gritty games of that era I have played. Maybe not the best game but such an experience

    Fable 2. Get to the big bad and he just dies to a single shot and falls. If you wait and try to listen to his monologue, an npc just gets up and shoots him instead. Fuck you Reaver.

      Honestly feel like a lot more people would have appreciated the subversion of expectations the devs were clearly going for… if not for Reaver. Give the player the time to realize that they can just shoot the monologuing asshole, don’t take that closure away from them by letting an NPC do it if they take too long.

        I was able to appreciate it later. The villain was just an ordinary man after all, not a Hero. But yeah, the Reaver thing just ruined it.

    Heavy Rain on the ps3, but its because i got that glitch where Ethan yells shaun and is stuck on that dialogue forever.
