• 10 Video games with insulting endings
    52 replies, posted
When I think of 'insulting' in regards to an ending, I think less of bad or non conclusive endings, and more those that either actively spite the player for the hell of resolving on a downer ending (Hotline Miami 2), or those that pretty much shit on everything the entire game or series had going up to that point (Mass Effect 3).
[QUOTE=Dr.C;51950403] RAGE had a fucking terrible ending. It builds up to you going to the main bad guy city and right when you finish the elevator fight to take you there, the game just ends and you get a cutscene of other vault dwellers waking up[/QUOTE] Man RAGE's ending was actual dogshit. Like right as the game's story was finally getting interesting, it ends.
Far Cry 2, 3 and 4 all had insulting endings. There is no way in any of them to have a good ending. The motto of all three games is basically "conflict is bad and by interfering you make it worse!" Fallout 3 was exceptionally bad and I refuse to play FO3 any more.
Far Cry 3's endings are fine. You can always choose to save your friends if you don't like the other ending.

And it just makes a lot of sense for both Ajay and Pagan given their situation and exact goals together.[/sp]
What? No Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2?
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;51949224]why would that be considered a bad ending (also it's a joke ending)[/QUOTE] I dunno man [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OPW-RdzStA[/media] How the fuck did they expect you to do 4:00 and onwards on your first try. It's bonkers and the ending is literally a kick in the teeth.

[sp]If Pagan had just said "hey...you might be my kid or something, I deffo banged ur mum lol" the plot would have resolved itself. But he kept up the image of being a terrifying dictator for some fucking reason and Ajay would run from that if he wasn't stupid.[/sp]

You kill all the bad guys and at the end of the game you decide that you're a savage and go native or realize you still have some humanity left and save your friends. And what's wrong with that message? It gets a little one note after a while, but it's a fine point to bring up
What about oddworld games
What about the final boss of Fable 2?
Half-life 2 episode 2
[QUOTE=Wircea;51963482]What about oddworld games[/QUOTE] they're only usually insulting if you ignore the game objective and thus screw your ending over and even then stranger's wrath is a one-way street in terms of endings so it averts that
[QUOTE=The bird Man;51963649]Half-life 2 episode 2[/QUOTE] Can you really call that an ending?
[QUOTE=The bird Man;51963649]Half-life 2 episode 2[/QUOTE] That wasn't insulting. What was insulting was the developer dropping the franchise.
I'd consider Blops 3 ending pretty insulting seeing as the ending ripped off Crysis 2, but frankly the whole campaign was insulting.
[QUOTE=Mosheplz;51963562]What about the final boss of Fable 2?[/QUOTE] OH FUCK THAT ENDING.
Pick a non-primary quest line from Skyrim. ANY non-primary quest line.
[QUOTE=Stroheim;51967992]OH FUCK THAT ENDING.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry, did you want to kill him?
star fox adventures had an ending that made me really fucking hate the game and it took me over ten years to actually finish the damn thing, only for that lousy ass ending
Well i had to cut the video off because i intend on playing Mankind Divided one day and don't want it spoiled. But regardless Dead Space 3 should be there (if it is'nt), Because the ending was reserved for DLC.
[QUOTE=Mosheplz;51963562]What about the final boss of Fable 2?[/QUOTE] I had a kid with my wife in Fable 2 and when he was in the crib he was white but when I came back from prison he was now a black kid walking around my house.
