There is nothing that ends this badly cause the ending isn't terrible like people here make it out to be.

Twin Peaks.

When Lynch didn't get his show renewed for a final season, he did bad things to everyone's favorite characters in the last episode, then ended it with the villain laughing at the audience.

I take it back. I didn't like what he did, but the way he did it was carefully thought out and very well executed. This was actually a lot worse.

The Star Wars Prequels. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Battlestar Galactica. The Matrix. Assassin's Creed 2.

"Bad" endings usually don't bother me in other media, because the journey is shorter and I feel less of an intimate involvement.  I was in a roleplaying game (tabletop with friends) that ended prematurely, and that was pretty jarring.  I'd poured so much into my character.

The new Battlestar Galactica was pretty disappointing and retroactively ruined the whole series for me.  But it was still less disappointing than Mass Effect 3, because of the roleplaying element.  Everything is magnified when you're this invested in a character and their world.

Maybe I would compare my disappointment to seeing the Star Wars prequels after growing up with the original trilogy.

neon genesis evangelion. which got fixed with a movie ("the end of evangelion").

And that "fixed" ending is my favourite part of the whole franchise!  TAKE NOTE, BIOWARE.  WINK.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, the old, first anime iteration at first glance. Though there are very coherent analysis' about the ending, that played largely inside Shinji's head due to time and money constraints. Even attempting to formulate a coherent train of thought about the ME 3 ends up being highly speculative with almost no hints. Alternatively, watch episode 1-24 and then watch End of Evangelion instead of ep 25 & 26 to see what is actually going on around Shinji.

Matrix 3. The quite literal use of the deus ex machina, though they did the ending right.

Deus Ex Human Revolution. For a game that prides itself of having created a milestone with the first prequel, I hated those A B C style of choosing. Especially since the writers had already picked their own choice as canon, hence rendering your choice utterly unimportant.

Divinity 2 without addon. Afterwards much more satisfying.

But they were still tad better than what ME 3 did to me.

Nothing

There was bad endings before, this one is the worst.

[Aensland75]

Star Trek: Enterprise ( computer end program)
Terminator Sarah Chronicles (ended in a cliffhanger, Fox pulled the plug)
Firefly (ended after season 1, thank god for the movie)
Matrix Trilogy (wtf?)
Phantasy Star 2

Lost's ending was lame, but still gave closure to those who "got " it.  These people died on the island.  These people died at some point in the future, after escaping the island.  Etc etc.  The explanations were silly, but at least they were THERE.

Neverwinter Nights 2, before DLC. Rocks fall, everybody dies.
Fallout 3, before DLC. Radiation, you die.

I'm just sayin'...

I get the feeling you're hinting at something.

There was an expiremental series of fiction books written some years ago.  I think it was called "The Dungeon".  The idea was that one author would write the first and last books and the middle three would be written by others.

I tried to read them.  The first one was ok.  Then the next three followed pretty well with the story and character development.  Then the last book more or less threw out eveything from the previous books.  It was like the writer started over.  I couldn't finish the book.  I was appalled at the total waste of time I spent reading the others only to have it all changed in book 5.

FFX was pretty awful. I have actually not played a final fantasy game since that one.

[ahandsomeshark]

you guys are scaring me about BSG though. I just started watching it on netflix.

[BDelacroix]

If we are includiong endings that exist because they were canceled like Firefly then we have to add in Jericho.  The writers did what they could to close that one up but getting the no-funds boot was what made them rush to the end.

Sorry for spoiling in that case.. it's still well worth a watch, and I'm sure there are people who like the ending.

The original Planet of the Apes movies.

Quantum Leap.

Farscape? Didn't watch it much.

Neo Genesis Evangelon?

Simoun? - this is an anime that ends with just as little epilogue/explanation.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Splice.

My Name is Earl.

The book "Cat's Cradle".


To name a few...

Original Planet of the Apes?  That was an excellent ending.  And Monty Python and the Holy Grail was...not meant to be taken so seriously.

Matrix trilogy.

I think the Mass Effect trilogy made The Matrix trilogy look better. Kind of like how Mass Effect 3 retroactively ruins Mass Effect 1 and 2, it also improves The Matrix 2 and 3.

As a fan of The Next Generation, those last two episodes were awesome. Well, apart from that horribly forced bit when the chief engineer (I forgot his name) died.

On topic, I can't really think of anything worse than how Mass Effect 3 ended. I've almost certainly seen some things that were worse, but nothing springs to mind right now.

[Cyph3rX]

Enterprise. From Star Trek in the first two seasons to Star Wars in the 3rd season to wtf is this crap in the last season.

Hey now, I liked Dreamfall's ending.

That was the way to do sad and tragic. And Zoe kind of sets it up from the beginning during her opening monologue.

It was also supposed to be the 2nd of a trilogy, hence the kind of depressing ending, but Torquist decided to walk the MMO route like everyone else (which was, in my mind, a huge mistake). I like the /idea/ of The Secret World, but...in execution, I have this strange feeling that it's going to flop.

[EvilChani]

NWN2 before DLC...I never bothered buying the DLC because I smashed my disk after I finished the game because I was so annoyed. Well worth the money...

Farscape, before the Peacekeeper Wars mini-series. Blowing up John and Aeryn and having it end there? Really?? WTF!

Star Wars Episode III...I love it when writers want to get from point A to point 13 (the two not even fitting together) and just forces it there whether it makes sense or not.

Hmm. Oh yeah, that's what we got with ME3...
