 Bioware has gone on record saying that they wanted a bittersweet ending to their epic trilogy. That is understandable, and honestly the best way to end the series, but they didnt execute it well. In my opinion the Greatest Bittersweet ending there ever was is the end of the Legacy of Kain series.

That last line summed up all of the pain and sorrow mixed with the appropriate amount of promise for a future. 

"Most ironic of all was the last gift that Raziel had given me. More powerful than the sword that now held his soul, more acute even than the vision his sacrifice had accorded me. The First, Bitter Taste of that terrible illusion--Hope."

Anyone else agree? or can think of a better example?

I quite enjoyed the ending to Final Fantasy X. It made me shed a few manly tears.

And, of course, if you weren't moved by the ending to MGS3 then MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO SKYNET, ROBOT.

WTF nobody named Metal Gear Solid 4? It was really the only video game in history where I actually shed some tears.

I enjoyed MGS4, but the ending couldn't hold a candle to MGS3, if you ask me.

MGS1 actually had a pretty good ending, too, with the uncertainty about FOXDIE.

I've never managed to finish Halo: Reach. This thread is making me feel as though I should rectify that.

While it may not be popular, I found the ending to CoD4 to be rather good, back when it seemed like everyone but me bit it. I never played MW2 or MW3, but I understand they brought Price back, which seemed a shame.

Definitely Planescape: Torment with Fallout being a close runner up.

Ultima IX, whatever issues one might have with it, had a pretty bittersweet ending - sacrifice yourself to save the world because it turns out that it's the manifestation of all your negative traits that's causing problems here.

Ultima VIII, for that matter, had a pretty bleak ending. 'So everything you've been fighting for in Britannia? Yeah, to get home, you're going to have to completely abandon your values. Have fun.'
