That poll consisted of some really stupid 12 year olds! Back ops has a terrible ending even by call of duty standards, I've lost all hope for this generation

Game endings got a lot more attention with the introduction of FMV I'd say, some of the PS1 endings for example, and intros, blew me away when I first saw them

DinoRex · 13-02-2012 03:04PM

And not a single Lucas Arts game in sight! How brilliant was Monkey Island 2's ending?

I think great game endings could be a good topic for a future podcast.

Wasnt Sonic 1s ending just him running through Green Hill Zone with loads of animals and jumping at the screen?

I feel that Heavy Rain should be placed at different points on the chart for each of it's endings!

Playing Sonic & clearing it is reward enough, we don't need no fancy ass endings

Ah dragonball z games. The most confusing fighting games ive ever played.
Press square = simple punch
Press square again = Screen goes narrow and you fly through a mountain O_o

they're great fun though, I'd a really bad version of DBZ Super Butouden 2 and if I went a cm too far away from who I was fighting, I nearly got epilepsy

The PS2 Dragonball game were great fun.

Preferred them when it was just one on one though. Didn't like when they started to try and make it so you could fly about the gaff as well.

Tossers!!

What a shít list. How in gods name is there so much call of doody on it, the bloody game is the most generic FPS on the planet.

Metal Gear Solid 4.. feck off...

Lots of Mario games, they all end the same for christs sake!!

Who made this list so I can go around and punch their mother in the womb..........yes the womb!!

Blood pressure rising, must destroy lists......

DinoRex · 13-02-2012 07:14PM

And the ending probably was the weakest thing about Bioshock... especially if you harvested a little sister.

agreed

But yet the ending was still good imo, Never once harvested a little sister myself.

I cant even remember the ending of 2, think i blanked out that entire game!

While I found Bioshock 2 to be horribly dull I did like the end level where

you control a Little Sister and see Rapture the way they see it. Thought that was a very neat touch and it was a nice flip on the end level of the first one where you control a Big Daddy/

Retr0gamer · 13-02-2012 07:36PM

Actually System Shock 2's ending is the weakest part of the game and feels really out of place. Ken Levine said they had to rush it which explains the silly ending dialogue and even sillier epilogue when the rest of the game was deep sci-fi and horror.

I actually really liked the Bioshock ending if you didn't kill the little sisters, it was quite moving. The final boss was the only let down.

Don't like the square button arrangement. If they are going for 4 buttons at least use the classic cross configuration. Or go all out with 6 face buttons so the capcom fighters are playable.

Yeah, its kind of strange they didn't go with the more usable cross layout.
I guess they're really going for the blocky 8 bit look with it.

Yeah that was cool but I just hated the whole Big sister thing at the end really
