Halo: Reach had a wonderful bittersweet ending, one that fit very well into the story

[noobcannon]

someone should start a poll with 15-20 good bittersweet endings so we can vote. games and movies.

[cndman]

Deathnote
Fellowship of the Ring
Dragonball Z:Cell Saga (nothing after that is canon IMHO)
Toy Story 3
Monsters Inc
Braveheart

[cndman]

oh. Twilight Princess.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a great example of a game which pulled off "SPECULATION FOR EVERYONE" without actual harming the narrative.

You have no idea why you did it or what it means, but you're given enough tools to draw your own conclusions..

Of Mice and Men

Definitely a lot more bitter than sweet.

If we're going to go for completely bitter endings, Nineteen Eighty-Four. I would have preferred an ending like that, completely devoid of hope but well done than an ending like we got.

Six Feet Under? I still haven't decided whether I loved the ending or thought it was beyond cheesy but it's certainly bittersweet and delivers complete closure to the series that I think a lot of Mass Effect fans wanted. Though I'm sure if the game ended in a similar way we'd have a lot of depressed players.

The "Good" endings of the original Silent Hill.

I'll throw in LA noire, though that one was just bitter all around. Still a better ending

Halo: Reach.

Almost had manly tears when Noble 6 died but at least he died a hero.

Halo 3, i shed tears on the last cutscene.

Anderson- "Were it so easy"

"Wake me, when you need me."

I've played so much Halo I read that in MC's voice lol

Sends a shiver through my spine everytime it's so epic.

felt bad for Cortana though, at least EDI got her man ( except in destroy)

Agreed. Halo 3's ending was absolutely brilliant in capturing the nature of Chief's and Cortana's relationship.

I also agree with the RDR, Mafia, and Watchmen (comic) recommendations. Very well handled, in my opinion.

Sorry if some of these are repeats,skimmed through the pages, and these are the first that came to mind that I haven't seen.

Movies:
STII: Wrath of Khan (Spock's funeral, Kirk reflecting on his feelings "You ask how do I feel? I feel... young )
LOTR - Fellowship of the Ring (Boromir atones for trying to take the ring with a crowing moment of awesome, leading to his sacrifice, his funeral and the breaking of the fellowship)

Novels:
Pretty much any Warhammer 40k novel, but "Outcast Dead" from the Horus Heresy particularly comes to mind - the psycher completes his mission but is so world weary/reluctant to be taken in for interogation by rogal dorn that he commits suicide by having his mind destroyed.
Dune Messiah - The ghola-clone of Duncan Idaho is restored and Paul saves his newborn twin children, however Chani has died during childbirth then Paul walks alone and blind into the deep dessert to certain

Red Dead Redemption. I use that example a lot when comparing "bittersweet" and "godawful".

Did anyone actually dislike the ending to RDR? I really wonder if that's possible.

I disliked having to play as Jack with his creepy 70s porn star look.

Yeah that wasn't great, but John's story was amazing from start to end.

[pottypenguin]

Bittersweet movies on the top of my head.
Gran Torino, Children of Men, Pans Labyrinth, The Wrestler, True grit, Leaving Los Vegas, Unthinkable, The Magnificent Seven, The Sons of Katie Elder, Glory, Young Guns, Little Miss Sunshine, Saving Private Ryan, The Dirty Dozen, Sunshine, Moon, World’s Greatest Dad.

Just Bitter.
Mystic River, Gone baby Gone, Johnny Got his Gun.

Red Dead Redemption
Not so sure about LA Noire...
Alan Wake
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Well Halo 3 wasn't that bittersweet after we find out MC and Cortana are alive. Although, before that, it was a perfect example of a bittersweet ending.

While I realize it's kind of cheap for those who didn't read the novels, Chief and Cortana being alive actually added to the bittersweetness of the experience (imo). The books imply that Cortana is nearing the end of her life-span, known as rampancy, which she hovers even closer towards after being controlled by the Gravemind. The reason why Cortana is so sullen in that final scene is because she's aware that there's a good chance she'll be gone by the time anyone reaches them.

RDR and the first Mafia game are two of my favourite games of all time. Both were dark, bitter but fantastic endings that fit the story

Red Dead Redemption...best game ending ever

Probably best game on many other levels. Lip sync, voicing, technical aspect...
