One game that bares special mention is Hellfire for the sega genisis. one shot kills you and you have to constantly dodge litteral walls of fire/lasers. If by some miracle you were insane enough to play the game enough to actually win the game (I'll clap if you got past lvl 1) It says congratulations now do it again at an even harder difficulty in piss poor grammar.


A far more recent game that wasn't designed to take your money in an arcade would be serious sam 2. the "final boss" mental is never actually shown and dies to one of the weakest guns in game with a few rounds. At the end of the credits it turns out you've been running errands for a bunch of nerds the whole time and the thing that was supposedly making mental weak enough to kill was just some trinket the nerds had piles of from the start. Atleast serious sam killed them all horribly <.<

For me, Battlefield 3... Cracked it after 6 hours(!) and the ending was a bit of a let down tbh. What happens to Blackburn? Does Dima kill himself? Wtf?

As a side note, when it comes to Diablo, I’ve noticed that Blizzard has a general disdain for the player character and NPCs involved.

• Diablo1: PC shoves soul stone in his head.
• Diablo2: PC character from Diablo1 turns evil and kills everyone in Tristram. Narrator from the Diablo2 is killed off.
• Diablo3: PC characters from Diablo2 are all insane. Decard Caine is killed off.

Blizzard sure love pushing the reset button...

where did you get this information?

That said, the whole story for BF3 is laughable.

Showing my age here, but the original Metroid. Samus is a chick? My one buddy swore he saw naked 8-bit boobies and almost passed out.

Wait you thought that sucked? Cmon! That was a pretty cool ending, you spent the ENTIRE game blowing the hell out of everything, just to find out you were a woman. Not to mention you could play armorless after that, how cool

Earth Defese Force Insect Armageddon...
After being sent on a bunch of missions where 'Intel' tells you bugger all about what you're doing or why you're doing it you save the day and get left for dead.

Reminds me of Ghosts n Goblins, as well as it's sequels.

Well, this thread isn't about sucky video game endings. It's about "WTF" video game endings.

And, finding out Samus is a girl was pretty mind-boggling at the time.

BF3 was a bit weird...
Not quite WTF but a bit... well a bit WTF...

That is a good point. It was definitely not what you expected. Maybe I was still caught up in how terrible the end of Halo2 was, so I was still in sour thinking mode?

Yeah the samus ending was weird.


How about Silent Hill homecoming people? all those alternative endings? Horror games always have like the weirdest and scariest endings of all time!

Not really an ending, but the part in CoD4 where you got nuked was pretty WTF.

That's probably in my top ten moments of gaming ever XD. Right up there with Master Chief giving the Covenant back their bomb, Saren assaulting the Citadel, the revelation that you are Revan(!), Link battling Ganondorf in OoT, and you maybe know who blowing up you maybe know what in Dragon Age 2. Just one of those times where you stare at your screen with 'wow' all over your face.

Dima died with the Paris nuke

Now if you want a messed up moment from BF3:

Spoiler:

Dima didn't die in the Paris nuke, he got a lot of radiation poisoning and after awhile you see him sitting at a table with a handgun on the table in some dingy apartment. He has an ending monologue and then theres a knock on the door as he lifts up the gun and the screen goes black.

OH yeah, forgot about that.

Then again, I was skipping half of the cinimatics by the end of the game, the story was so boring, I just wanted to get it over with so I could hop into MP. (I never play MP before finishing SP)

It took me a little while to get the fact that some of it was current even though it was in the middle of the flashback.

Spoiler:

When you kill Cole. Seriously made me WTF because this guy was just doing his job, wasn't attacking you and then you just shoot the guy even though he's on your side.

If you don't shoot him he kills you...
At any rate Dima needed to go stop the Paris nuke which wouldn't have happened otherwise...
