I...but...Really? Sure, it wasn't a decent ending, but it wasn't anything amazing.

The last game I can think of that had a truely awesome ending was Red Dead Redemption.

Best game ending ever was Breakdown for xbox. BLOPS was decent.

I propose we include in this thread our favorite game endings.

1. Metal Gear Solid 3
2. Mass Effect
3. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
4. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
5. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

And:

6. BLOPS, because it was the low point where I finally realized I'd never waste my money on another CoD game.

I think the trolling came from the people who voted for Black Ops as the best game ending of all time.

I had a similar reaction when I saw that also. I didn't realize they had a plot other than "Defeat all gym leaders"

I like how the majority of "best endings of all time" are from the last couple of years. It's almost as if decent storywriting wasn't around before 2000!

... or maybe the majority of current generation gamers never played a classic and has no idea what they're talking (well, voting) about. Aside from the usual idiots who fail to realize that "best ending" has nothing to do with "best game".

Agreed. I hate the MSG series but MSG3SE has a superb ending and one of the only ones in the series that didn't leave me feeling "wtf just happened."

Frankly I feel that Black Ops was a masterpiece, innovative and well made.

The ending left me in a state of wonder and amazement at how brilliantly crafted it was, and how well it tied the story up.

Do I get paid now?

In your base, ignoring your logic.

I don't know, BLOPS's ending was good in the sense that it was over the top like the actual campaign, they took a wild conspiracy theory and then built the game off of that. All of the action scenes, all of the cinematics, everything was trying to be over the top. For that reason I will give Treyarch props for sticking to their guns.

Black and White had the best ending out of all Pokemon Games released.
Sad that Skyward Sword didn't make the top ten, not that I've finished it yet.

We can say that old games had better endings, but I think the technology is what's made delivery so much more memorable; a script still has to come alive, no matter how good.

That being said, my list worried me; I know that games have emotionally affected me in the past (Mafia I anyone? Wait... I forgot about that, maybe it should have gone on the list ) and yet I struggle to remember them (Oooh Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30!). Holy crap, so many games do have good endings if you struggle to remember them...

I actually hated KoTOR 2's ending but that's mostly because Obsidian never finished the damn game (despite making the ending)?

Yet another tick in the long list that is Obsidian's failures.

Really?
So, if i make a game with great graphics but a script where every other word is a mix of Clock, Mushroom or Tiger you think it's gonna have a 'memorable ending'?
And by memorable i mean good.
