I was going to say Lost, but people have already said that. I was going to say Alien 3, but at least that had some closure. So in essence, I don't think anything ended this badly.

[MzAdventure]

I can't think of anything else I liked this much that ended this badly.

[EricHVela]

The final book of the 2001 series (which was going downhill anyway). The Big Blue. The Piano. Pan's Labyrinth. The final book in the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy (which is the 5th book in the trilogy - don't ask). Ender's Game (not Bender's Game). C'thulhu (which wasn't about C'thulhu at all - don't ask). Any Shakespeare tragedies. Greek tragedies.

Divinity 2: Ego Draconis.

I bought that game on preorder, and the gameplay and everything was all right (glitchy but all right) and then it ended and no matter what you did, YOU LOSE, while all the while you were presented with the appearance of your good or evil actions having some actual impact. Sound familiar?

They re-released it about half a year later as the Dragon Knight Saga, and that version has been given a higher rating. I'm wondering if they changed the ending, but I never bothered to get the new version to find out.

But honestly, that was the only game of the Divinity series I'd played, versus Mass Effect where I've poured my heart into three games. And, there was a sort of closure in Divinity 2, which we don't get at all in ME3. At least you could clearly see that you had lost and that the game had foreshadowed that you were going to lose the entire time. Mass Effect 3 kind of throws it at you from nowhere.

Dragon Knight Saga offers a much improved version of the original game and the expansion so yeah the ending was fixed. I really enjoyed DKS.

Actually, I think there's a case to be made for "Nothing is this bad".

Mostly because of the incredible rate of reversal in ME3.

I mean, in all the other examples you have more time in the end, more of an extended offering of mediocre or terrible.

The Matrix had, depending on where you feel it fell down, either another entire film, or at least twenty minutes in its awful ending.

Lost had a final episode, that's 47 minutes I think.

BSG likewise had a final episode, and honestly wasn't as bad, mostly because the "angel" thing was at least hinted at by the rest of the series.

Evangelion's WAS bad, but at least had TWO episodes to let us down. It was corrected by the Movie, which while depressing as hell and still out there, made more sense with the rest of the series and provided closure.



No, what's really monumental about ME3 is the RATE OF CHANGE.

It's either 15 minutes if you count everything from the beam onwards. Or 6, if you just count any individual ending.

Nothing else even comes close to being that bad, that quickly. Other than the Sopranos.


So, by process of elimination: The Sopranos.

It might even be worse.

[Hendrik.III]

My last relationship. At least with ME3 I get screwed in the end.

[Tommytsunami]

LOST, Evangelion, BSG (while the ending was entertaining, the story was a bit of a let down), Firefly(only because it was not allowed to continue so fans had no real closure), and that is about all I can think of at the moment though I know there are others.

Two anime series: Evangelion and Gilgamesh.

Oh god, Gilgamesh. I'd forgotten about it. I still think ME3 is worse due to just going off the rails into lala land similar to Evangelion. 

But Gilgamesh may take the cake as most depressing ending ever. I need brain bleach just thinking about it. It makes junji ito's Uzumaki seem like a Disney manga.

[Klijpope]

Farscape, when it was axed, before The Peacekeeper Wars. That had the grief, downer element too.

[Nobrandminda]

 I honestly can't think of anything.  

Part of the problem is that there are bad stories with bad endings, but I wouldn't really call that a "bad ending" that's just the conclusion to a bad story.

When I saw Inception in the theaters, the audience groaned and swore at the ending, but it was perfect for the movie.  That's about the best I can think of.

I actually liked the ending to Lost (which a lot of people keep comparing ME3 to).  Sure there were a lot of unanswered questions where you had the sneaking suspicion that the writers just forgot about, but it still worked.  At least the philosophical crap didn't run completely counter to the rest of the series.

Battlestar Galactica

Lost

Final Fantasy XIII - though it's the exception because the entire thing was terrible.

Just to name a few.

[KelaSaar]

I'd say Sopranos and pre-MotB Neverwinter Nights 2.

[Ender99]

Nothing I ever cared about has ever ended this badly.

I guess a movie called "The Black Death" ended pretty badly.....

I'm trying to branch out from Lost and the Matrix. XD

Pirates of the Caribbean was much worse. And Lost, that was worse too.

I disagree, Pirates of the Caribbean had a good ending.  That is the way that bittersweet is supposed to be.

[GME_ThorianCreeper]

Mass Effect 2

[Troffeltjie]

Unreal 2: The Awakening

Everyone dies and you drift out to deep space. FML moment.

[Ossborn76]

Firefly (the fact, that only 1 season was made, at least the Serenity movie gave kind of closure)
Battlestar Galactica (the final 4 episodes.... bullsh[beep])
Fallout 3 (pre-Broken Steel)

But still, ME3 has got the worst ending of all time

[Atomic Space Vixen]

Lost, BSG, and KotOR2 have all been mentioned already. Soooo... Xena? That last season was pretty problematic.

[Tasker]

The only really, really bad ending - ( Just because it was evily cut off at the last second by the SciFi channel ) - Was Farscape.  There was a public outcry about that too.  So much so that a couple of years later it got an amazing 4 hour mini series to give the ending closure.

Regardless of how bad I find the ending to anything that has come before ME3 though.

They didn't burn up over 1000 hours and 5 years of my life.

I loved the original but the improvements released with Dragon Knight Saga just increased my enjoyment to new levels.

The Original Divinity 2 ended on a downer, but after it happens and you think back on it, you realise it was forshadowed and was pretty bloody sneaky.

The Divinity 2 - Dragon Knight Saga, takes the original and when it reaches the part where it ended - carrys on and extends it with several dozens of hours of extra content.

On PC, the expansion pack was released both as a patch that just added all of the new improved features - textures and game tweaks to the original, and as a "true" expansion pack ( Called the Flames of Vengeance )  that added all the new tweaks as well as extra areas, missions and items.

Unfortunately on the xbox, the expansion was so improved and added so much to the core game. That it was far too large to release as DLC and had to be released as a new game called Dragon Knight Saga.

nothing comes close in my books

[Stenun]

There are loads. Endings are notoriously difficult to write - especially if you're looking for more than just "they won, there was some loss, the survivors rode off into the sunset".

But anyway, choices I haven't seen so far this thread include:

Final Crisis.
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
The Man In The High Castle.
Mostly Harmless

[joiushdfoubsndpovn]

BSG, Lost, Firefly

The first two for horrible writing in the end, the 3rd because... i can't even.... *sob*

[Pottumuusi]

Umm... 9/11 attacks I guess.

[Piplodocus]

Moore's BSG gets another vote from me....

And series 6 of Nu-Doctor Who.
