Medal of Honor 2010 comes to mind. That ending scene was SO powerful. Really had an impact on me.

One ending that can be considered "bittersweet" was the ending to the film, Hobo With a Shotgun. The entire film builds up to this final confrontation, delivers it, leaves some things open-ended but also brings an ample amount of closure. The ending in itself is abrupt, but the more I think about it the more I like it and the more in line with the tone of the film it is.

Halo 3 did it the best and were even able to leave questions in the air without leaving everything else in the story a mess. RDR was great too.

H3 left room for SPECULATION FOR EVERYONE! Without completely alienating their fans and leaving planet sized plotholes, in fact the speculation was quite entertaining, not this "OMG THIS CAN'T BE TRUE" kind we are left with now.

LA Noire doesn't end well, but it was very well written.

However, I do want my Mass Effect to end Happy.

I have to agree. Halo 3's ending was pretty amazing. With the inclusion with the Legendary Ending made it just feel so "right" if that makes sense.

I went into ME3 expecting the "Fight like a Krogan run like a leopard but you'll never be better than Commander Shepard" kind of ending I had in ME2

The Hunger Games - Both the first book, and the trilogy as a whole.


I'd describe the ending of the third book as just bitter all around.

If I may be allowed to step out of the video game realm for a moment, the series finale of 24 was bittersweet and very well done.

Dragon Age Origins was my personal favorite. Especially as a city elf. I teared.
Also: The Dark Knight for kicks.

Red Dead Redemption...best game ending ever

I'm gonna be honest, if RDR was a movie it would have been oscar freaking gold, that said as a video game I hated having to play as another character :(


:bandit: John Marston is one of my favorite characters in fiction.


Liked the ending, but hated the fact that I had to continue on as his son. So I just kept replaying the game.


You know the whole point of playing as his son was to avenge his father's death?

*spoilers*

You get a secret stranger mission post-credits where you get to duel the old man who hunted John and kill him

Movie wise: I just saw the movie Warrior, about the two MMA brothers. Both brothers have noble pursuits but only one can win.

The eniding is indeed bittersweet for a few reasons, besides only one can win, and leaves questions unanswered but its done properly and not riddled with plotholes.

Its a great movie and left me feeling satisfied. Unlike ME3Image IPB

As much as I disliked the entire premise of Spartan-IIIs (would rather have Spartan-IIs as the central figures of the game), Halo: Reach had a fitting, bittersweet ending that worked.

and if we;'re counting non-game stuff:

Cowboy Bebop (doesn't get much better than this)
Code Geass
Dark Knight
Angel
Buffy


YES for both anime series!

The ending to ME3 was bittersweet until the moment with the elevator...

The genophage and quarian plot arcs were also amazing and bittersweet.

Exactly.

Which has now led to the series being picked back up by the new studio (343i) which looks like they are going to try and refresh Halo with the new trilogy. Maybe the same is coming for ME, but I think I'd rather a to be continued... ending DLC rather than another Shepard trilogy. He's been through enough lol.

Metal Gear Solid 3 pulled it off well, it's certainly an ending that sticks with you, but in a good way.

Alan Wake also springs to mind, the First Darkness game's ending was a good end ot the story.

Really, there are plenty of ways to make a sad/bittersweet ending good, the simplist being making it flow naturally off the other 99% of the game.

Can I do movies?

On The Beach. Ava Gardner, watching as Gregory Peck goes back to certain death in his sub, while she prepares to take her own suicide pills. Shots of a completely deserted Melbourne, and the end of human life on Earth.

Amazing film and the ending stays with you forever.

I love RDR's bittersweet ending. It was really well-done especially when his death was already foreshadowed by that random encounter with Death/ guy in top hat.

Also gotta love the closure, hero as far as anyone but Cortana and MC know gave his life for the galaxy, humans say they will rebuild elites say they will also rebuild and go kill the rest of the brutes, Keith David says words and then *BAH DA DA Legendary planet*, 

Mass Effect's ending just gives you a sad

Halo: Reach.

Was a pretty sad story throughout and it was a very sad ending, but it wasn't total despair, it was all for a purpose. I think Bungie pretty much nailed the ideal bittersweet ending in Reach.
