None. Because no other game trilogy has been so story driven for over three games plus DLC to mail in the ending and be so completely incoherent, retconn filled, and awash with plot holes.

Mass Effect 3's ending fails in every conceivable fashion:

1. It breaks promises right and left.
2. It strips player choice out after 100+ hours of having that be a central feature of the trilogy
3. It makes absolutely no sense at all
4. It's the ending of a TRILOGY not a single game, so the impact is far magnified
5. It's painfully obvious that it is either not what the developers intended, or IS what the developers intended and the real sense of closure that players deserved was held back for greed.

I could go on and on.

ME3's ending woes are exacerbated by virtue of how central the story telling, character development and player choice is to the series. It's he series' key selling point.

from all the pc games i have played, these are the top 3 i think had a bad ending.

3. Deus Ex Human Revolution. sorry, but pressing 4 buttons to have an ending is not good.
2. Duke Nukem Forever. bad game, bad ending.
1. Mass Effect 3. the worst ending i have ever seen in a game.


Deus Ex had a good ending. It you know made sense and fits well with Deus Ex 1. Pushing the button also makes more sense in Human Revolution compared to shooting, touching or diving in ME3. But Panchea sucked Edios admits they rushed it.

As for me...

1. Mass Effect 3
2. Dragon Age 2 not only does it end 3 years too early but Isabella escapes from the Arishock? What a ****ing dumb ass.
3. Beyond Good and Evil. It's not bad because of the quality it's bad because it's ****ing 2012 and the sequel isn't out yet.

command and conquer 4 has to be the worst ending ever.

Final Fantasy XIII-2. Didn't even have an ending and that wasn't because of any "unique artistic design" or "special story telling". The game deliberately had no ending and Square Enix planned that from the beginning to make us wait and pay for actual closure. Bioware made a mistake, that's their only saving grace; Square Enix denied me closure to purposely dangle the actual ending in my face half a year down the line for 15-20 dollars.

Trying to think of games that no one's meintioned

Shadow the Hedgehog- I know I know, but it was like they were trying to make the most terrible incoherent ending ever.

The Simpsons Road Rage- After hours of driving around to raise money, Mr. Burns is like, "Fine, no more radioactive buses" END. You don't earn anything from beating the game and just feel like there was no real closure or reward, just a brief clip. Granted, it was a short game.

Crackdown- Not sure if no one's meintioned this, but if they haven't, I'm completely shocked. Just..what?

KOTOR- If you went dark side, you get to be bad for 2 minutes and see Revan with a big huge army. If you're choose light side, its Return of the Jedi without the ewoks. Plus Carth's grin.

I can't think of any. You compare the ending to the quality of what came before, so this pretty much disqualifies any poorly translated Japanese 'you are winner' type endings. I also can't think of one I disliked more across any medium. It's worse than the BSG ending, Matrix sequels, Superman 2, Contact, Deus Ex HR, Solitaire. Even the KotOR 2 ending which was clearly incomplete was better.

im not saying it dint made sense but adam telling you a story with some pics/videos in the background is also not very creative and imaginnative. pressing 4 buttons is lame and it could have been thought out better. game as such was great.

Half life 2, a amazing game, one of my favourites; but I hate cliff hanger endings.

Far cry 2, I was left thinking, is that it?

Halo 2, need I say anything?

Borderlands, probably the worst ending ever.

Dragon age 2, just bleugh.

And countless others, but I haven't got the time to list them.

^ This too, in fact; I don't think I've enjoyed any ending for a assassins creed game.

 Fear 2...words can't even describe this ending. I. Oh just watch it for yourself.

Fear 3's wasn't much better but I'll let it slide since it kinda made sense. Otherwise here's my list.
  • Borderlands (-.- I'll never forgive it)
  • Fear 2
  • Alan Wake (it was good but...just confusing as hell)
  • Amnesia: The dark descent
  • Assassins Creed 1 (writing on the wall? Big woop!)
  • Mass Effect 3

@funkcase and evilmunky

i respect your opinions, so dont get me wrong but i like to mention thse facts quickly.

it was known that episodes will follow after half life 2. sure it leaves you with questions, but you got them answered in the next game. now if epi 3 will finally come.

the same is with the assassins creed games. its a trilogy, so its obvious that they will leave the ending(s) open for the sequel. im very happy with the endings. its mysterious and you want to know how it continues. at least i know that it will continue and will answer my questions.

wile in ME3, which is the final game of this saga, and we get an ending with more plot wholes then a swiss chees.

Nothing compares. Sure Borderlands practically had no ending, Fable 2 had bad... But none made me go "NOOOOOOO!"

Batman Arkham City with Catwoman DLC:
At the end of the game as Catwoman you can just leave Arkham City and leave it (and Batman) to burn, with Catwoman even saying, "Screw him." Of course if you do this the credits reverse and it takes you back to save him anyway.

Silent Hill Bad+ ending:
You end up accidentally killing your own daughter that you've spent the entire game trying to save and crying over her dead body and then after the credits Cybil (pretty much your only true friend throughout the game) slaps you and tells you "Go home Harry." Yeah, talk about your hard work feeling like it was all for nothing.

Far Cry 2.
You spend the entire game chasing an arms smuggler and in the end you team up with him and die from Malaria.

Limbo of the Lost. I can't describe how awkward that ending was. No horror game should ever end with a musical. NO HORROR GAME SHOULD EVER END WITH A MUSICAL NUMBER.

I S**** you not. This is how the game ends.


This was horror bear in mind.

Not a game but MockingJay. Game wise I'd say Too Human


Mockingjay? Hell no.

For reason I won't discuss because of possibly spoiling Hunger Games, Mockingjay is a good ending to the trilogy.

ME3 is the worst ending in a video game I've ever personally experienced. I bet there are worse ones out there, but none that I've played.

The game with a worst ending is DA2, it probably has the worst ending in any of the RPG’s i have played, completely idiotic.

I did ask for act 3 to be changed but Bioware was not interested so i did not buy any DLC’s for the game and just forgot the game.

ME3 has a much better ending even with the plot holes.

Gotta laugh at the people who dislike the Borderlands ending because they got played. Maybe you should go and read some books, all the signs were there. It's not like the Borderlands ending was completely made up and out of left field, in fact quite the opposite, after you know it's more of a duh, why did I not think of that. In my opinion that's brilliant.

Final Fantasy xiii-2. It was much more hopeless and frustrating.


To be fair, this was done intentionally because they intend to make expansions via DLC.

As for the topic, none really. Chrono Cross' ending is ambiguous as hell but plausible in it's own weird little way. So I don't mind it, even if you really do need to analyze it half to death.

Can't think of any. There are plenty of games with "meh" endings, but few truly awful ones on the scale of ME3 it seems.

Plenty of dark endings FFXIII-2,Shadow Hearts et al. But they at least make sense in context.
The game they ripped off DX, the ending works there. Because it makes sense.

Nothing beats ME3 which ticks both the nonsensical and pointless boxes.
