What about the Matrix sequels?

I remember waiting in line and over hearing two guys talking.
"What if it sucks?"
"It can't suck, its the Matrix dude!"

... then we saw the movie

http://xkcd.com/566/

THERE WERE NO SEQUELS.

All in all, I don't know of a video game that had the same degree of fan outrage and disappointment that ME3 had.  Sad, considering how epic ME1 and ME2 were.  I loved the Genophage and Quarian vs. Geth storylines.  I do wish that we could have seen Shepard's trial, had a full story arc for Thessia, a meaningful rachni subplot, and a revamped P:E.  Maybe with a DA:O last mission feel, where we can choose some reinforcements to help out with the fight.  Where we see out assets in action.

And a starchildless ending.

But it was still a good game.  Hopefully EA will actually give them enough time to finish ME4.

Are you talking about Reloaded or Revolutions? Because I actually liked Reloaded.

Same! Reloaded wasn't as "smart" as the original, but it was still fun.

Revolutions jumped the shark, walked back to it, shot it, then mounted it's head on the Architect's wall.

Dragonball, Avatar the Last Airbender, Star Wars prequels

In video games, no. Though KOTOR 2 is the gaming predecessor of the ending infamy. Mostly not for the same reasons, but it's another game that is overshadowed by its ending and its the first thing people bring up when discussing it.

Every time I see that name I die a little.

That movie destroyed my childhood (Yep, while the rest enjoyed stuff like Power Rangers, I was a fan of Aliens )

Yeah, the series peaked in quality with Aliens, I think.  Alien 3 was awkward, and Resurrection... I don't even.

Prometheus wasn't bad.  Pretty to look at, but the plot was lame and the characters needed work.  Basically, if James Cameron's Avatar was a horror movie.

Predator 2 was also godawful compared to the original.

One of the main issues with Prometheus was the lack of explanation: Unless you are guy who pays attention and/or knows a lot about the universe, you won't get some stuff, a friend of mine ended very confused at the end of the movie.

I don't have many issues with Predator 2, despite that we don't have Arnold "get to the choppa" Schwarzenegger, it's enjoyable.

Personally, the lowest point was AVP2: They took two awesome scifi universes and wrecked both of them equally at the same time.
I... I still don't get it how the managed to do that.

Back to topic: I think I've never answered the OP's question, the biggest tragedy is the entire Horror Genre.
Nowadays is almost non-existant and most of the ones that claims to be scary are just a game with monsters to shoot at. No tension, no scares... No horror.
There are only two horror games I liked in this gen: Amnesia and Slender (Not a big deal, but the concept was good)... A 50 mb game is better than modern "horror" AAA games.

ME3 is Bioware's Daikatana.  

That is the most hyperbolic overstatement ever uttered or written in the history of sentient life forms.

prometheus was pretty dumb.

it was like sci fi paint by numbers. some teenie boppers find paintings on a wall which a few balls match up PERFECTLY to a star system. some old guy goes ALL IN on this measly claim about whateverthehell. the old guys is dead.....or maybe not, only to be walked into a room where he- wont-be-cured-of-death. the scientist all go on this trip knowing NOTHING about what they are doing, then they get there and go "maybe we should leave" and one of them is a total incompetint moron running scared ****less from aliens noises, sees an alien, tries to pet it, subsequently gets his brains melted out his ears. the scienteists in prometheus are the most imcompetent idiots ever pooled together and colled scientists. not to mention that android decides to straight up put some goo in some guys drink to "see what happens" maybe this will keep my old fart master alive, drinking mystery goo. oh man then after everyone pretty much dies for no other reason then they are in a sci fi thriller, the girl dsects herself to remove an alien inside her then after a short nap is right back at it. then she tells the ship captain, "we have to save them" and the captain acts like shes the catalyst and says "ok im just gonna jump into this beam" crashes the ship, holy ****.......we cant run sideways, oh no i tripped and fell, rolled over two times to my left and the falling ship missed her because of her ability to roll two feet to the left while hotty charlize theron thinks shes usain bolt.

i loled when the droid got his head ripped off.

*the start of what would become terrible common place marketing techniques picture

I get shivers when I remember those days.

Night sweats too.

So many games were making the jump to polygons and we had some of the most god awful presented games through that era.

But mostly it was the start of bad marketing.

Shudder.

i loved prometheous and alien 3.

one thing alien 3 gave that me3 didn't........... closure.

the matrix trilogy......dont even go there.....

star wars prequels..... story wise... ok i get it but the writing and direction sux.

prometheous is not about the alien - which i think disappointed most people, but about creation. i think ridley did a decent job with a weak story premise. yeah some of it might be sci-fi by the numbers but it holds together pretty well........... well apart from the 'birth scene'. there is no way she'd be running away after slicing her abdomen like that.

A bigger disaster than the ME3 ending?

You mean other than my divorce? ha ha! *slaps his knee*


But seriously I've seen plenty of "disasters" in media in my day.... none of them are remembered 6 months later for the most part save for the holders-on

[xsamplexample]

 many games/movies/books have had bad endings... most were a lot sadder, stupider, and less thought out than ME3.  

the problem with ME3 is that the fans are hardcore.  They fit no demographic.  they fit no age range.  They just 'are'.  when they get agry, companies lose millions and stock drops.

I tend to agree, the biggest fault with the ME3 ending was the expection of the ending.  I am not saying its just the fans fault, for the interviews and PR hyped the game to a point the fanbase was in a furor, but at the same time I think people did have unrealistic expectations considering what BioWare has given as endings in the past or lack thereof.

[Iakus]

So many things mentioned here that are so apt

Matrix Revolutions
One More Day
Indiana Jones 4

KOTOR 2 I'm not sure fits. It's ending was mainly incomplete. ME3's is just plain bad.

[KotorEffect3]

The internet

[FlamingBoy]

nothing as bad in recent memory,

however I am flashing back to the raiden snake switch in mgs2, it was a disastrous move (and like before good reviews came out before any one played the game)

in fact it kind of interesting to know that the mgs series has never recovered financially (in terms of copies sold) from mgs2, as of yet

This thing has been blown out of proportion by the fanbase. The EC was pretty good and addressed the lack of closure of the original endings. All in ME 3 is still a pretty awesome game.

*waits for some hater to tell how wrong they think I am*

Because people who disagree with you are, as you put it, "haters".
