I don't think the endings are that bad with the EC. Still kind of a letdown, but not nearly the WTF moment of the original cut.

I guess the question is, are we talking about worst game endings in general, or something like "worst ending to an otherwise good game"? I'm sure there are worse endings out there, but many of them are probably for games that are just flat-out bad or at least consistently underwhelming.

I don't have as long of a history with games as some people here, but off the top of my head I can think of a few other "letdown" endings:

- The original Myst: It seemed like it was building up to something bigger, but all that happened was that you complete the linking books and warp to the place where Atrus is trapped to let him out. Then, after all the trouble you went through, he won't even send you home, and your "reward" is that you get to explore the island and the ages - except you've probably already seen almost everything to be able to get to that point at all.

- Call of Duty 2: If I remember correctly, the last level takes place slightly before the end of the war in Europe, whereas the first game (or maybe the expansion? it's been a while) ends with Russian troops storming the Reichstag building in Berlin.

- Lost: Via Domus: Turned out to be disappointingly short and linear anyway, but the ending was completely out of the blue even by Lost's standards. For those of you who haven't played it and don't mind being spoiled - you play the whole game as an additional Flight 815 survivor who isn't seen in the show, and your dark secret is that you're a journalist who once got your ex-girlfriend killed while pursuing a story. At the end, you seem to be escaping the island right as the hatch blows up, and then you find yourself time-warped back to the original plane crash, except your ex is still alive and with you on the plane. The end.

Also, one time I played this game and lost the election. That really sucked.

Yeah, true story... I was on premier together with my friend and we laugh over some of the scenes and in the end we both were just ... meh just this ?

Not in recent memory, in video game land.

But that's because you really need an unprecedented, meteoric rise and an initially stellar product that soars the heights before you can get a magnificent, apocalyptic failure. In movie land, the equivalent is probably Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I literally can't even watch it, anymore. It is that bad. I think I could sit through an episode of Mob Wives before I finished Phantom Menace front to back.

Never played Final Fantasy or Resident Evil so I can't compare. But the bottom line is you don't want what happened with Mass Effect 3s endings to ever happen to you when you make a video game. Ever.

Yes, it's called Avatar. Except everybody bought into James Cameron's billion dollar joke so I'm left alone on that one.

I dont recall one that had such unanimous hate, and was so flawed that you couldnt ignore the evidence, if so, please state so below, without spoilers.

Look up the "indoctrination theory" on you tube it explains and shows evidence that the ending is not really happening but is a conscious battle between shepared fighting or giving into indoctrination , and the final choices you are given are harbingers last attempt at indoctrinating shepared which if you pick the left or middle option you are really giving into indoctrination .

It hasn't yet been confirmed or denied by bioware yet but they have alluded to it possibly being correct .

No, they really didn't.

RE6 is pretty bad for RE faithful too.

But then its also got terrificly random reviews from major sites, from Gamespot to IGN and scores from 3/10 to 9/10.

But then most RE fans arent as rabid as ME ones from what I've seen.

Guess the movies really soured em

The ME3 ending is definitely the worst ending I've seen in any video game I've ever played, I can't think of any other game where I was that disappointed by the ending. While there are other endings that caused much more of an uproar in other media, I can't think of an ending that destroys the story it was meant to conclude on as many levels as ME3 did.

[Krunjar]

I got one word for you ... just one.

Daikatana

Pretty much ended ID's reign as king of the FPS developers.

Also Duke Nukem Forever.

A worthy successor it was not.

Oh and lets not forget Star Trek Online.

IMHO, the biggest disaster in RPG genre is ME3 and equally DA2.

Both were created by EAWare, they really earn golden .... award.

[EvilMonkeyDTT]

Kotor 2 for sure, now the game was good to okay until the ending.... which there wasn't one. Granted it wasn't a ending of a trilogy or anything but it was a horrible way to finish.

There are disasters happening out there in the world on a daily basis, even right now as I'm typing this. ME3's ending isn't worth even a footnote compared to that.

But in regards to the entertainment industry, I personally have NEVER seen anything quite as disastrous as ME3's ending. To me, it really is the worst ending in video game history.

The ending was quite lackluster, but I basically shrugged and that was it. It wasn't spectacular but it didn't leave me with a sour taste in my mouth. Unlike ME3 which made me wish I had never touched it.

One More Day.

The fact that comic book fans are STILL pissed about this storyline 5 years later should say everything. Even someone like my brother, who could care less about comics, had the same reaction as the Spider-Man fanbase.

[CSunkyst]

I haven't read a Spider-Man comic since One More Day and I was a HUGE Spider-Man fan, I've got multiple boxes filled with issues from 1992 right up until One More Day

And I can say with certainty something similar is going to happen with Mass Effect. I don't give a rat's ass what they do with "ME4" my interest in the series has been torpedoed.

Mass Effect 3 is the most disappointing thing since my son.

[Bob Garbage]

KOTOR2 has got to be one of the most disappointing games of all time. Could have easily been one of the best RPGs ever. I've played through the ME trilogy a few times since ME3 came out and even though it's disappointing how it ends, there's so much good stuff (mostly in 1 &2 obviously) but I still quite enjoy the game play of 3. Playing them back to back seems to make ME3's misgivings a bit more forgivable.

"Disaster" is completely subjective.

It's just a matter of taste - (there are people who think, for example, that Josh Whedon is a genius who can write no wrong and "forget" he wrote Alien Resurrection, which not only buried the franchise but took a huge crap on it's grave - but Saint Whedon is still "the best".  Personally, I think he's a derivative hack.  Just a matter of taste.) - and balancing what one had expected in ME3 and what one actually got.

Expectations were not met. Frankly, they were never going to be met, nor could they have been.  This game series kinda shot itself in the foot - simply because Bioware has their own Shepard, and that's the Shepard they write for.

We all have Shepards too, and they tried to accommodate us, but they can only go so far.  The number one complaint I see - about the endings and everything else boils down to:  "My Shepard would never do that/act that way!"

All the hate, bile and disdain flow from that.  Your Shepard was not catered to - you know his/her history, where s/he went to school/first love/first battle/everything Bioware hasn't filled in yet.  Your Shepard acts a certain way. Don't believe me?  Go look in some of those "Show Me Your Shepards!" threads.  Some folks have elaborate character descriptions of their Shepards - right down to their favourite cereals.

Your Shepard got screwed.  Bioware is to blame.  Nothing they did or will do is going to change that.

Was ME3 a disaster?  No.  Don't be stupid.  All it did was fail to live up to your expectations. Now egos are engaged in a massive pissing contest and that includes some of the folks at Bioware.

Does it have flaws?  Absolutely. There are things I wish they hadn't done or think are just blindly cretinous.  Flaws can be fixed.  

Butthurt? Not so easily.

No it's not. Not in this case. Or maybe you've forgotten what the month of March was like for Bioware and the fans. It was a pretty ugly month for both sides.
