True...but for a certain amount of time...DS is SWEET SWEET candy!

And nothing compares to a nice long MP Chicken Run with buddies!

Metal Gear Solid = Fantastic story and ending
Metal Gear Solid 2 = Terrible story

Worst game endings:

- Any game for the NES
- Doom (I was SO PISSED at the end when it just gave a stupid scrolling text epilogue)

And the grand prize winnah:

METAL GEAR SOLID 2

Not only did the story degenerate into incoherent gibberish not worthy of a schizophrenic crack monkey jumping on a typewriter, but the end was 8 minutes of red filtered footage of New York that looks like it was shot by a one-eyed diseased drunken wino who the crew bribed with a fifth of cheap scotch. I hope everyone involved in the production of that game is purpetually cursed with agonizing cases of hemorrhoids and irritable bowel syndrome. Bastards.

I agree. Whoever made the end was a serious crack head. The story line was decent/good throughout the entire game and interesting, and then it just totally degenerates into mindless fvcking gibberish. That fight with the metal gears at the end was just aggrivatingly ridiculous. Didn't make sense at all. And then the stupid commentary on society at the end in New York was dumb as crap too.

Worst ending I've seen was Chrono Cross for the PSX. You play through a 40-odd hour RPG
only to get a black screen with "The End", unless of course, you pulled off some incredibly
un-intuitive magic combination string to get the "real" ending. The disgust comes back any
time I think about that game.

I went off to make dinner while that was playing in the background... the way the cut-scenes kept getting longer and longer, I figured if there was anything after it I would still be back in time...

Best: Command and Conquer. Starcraft also was very good.

Worst: MOHAA. For a game of this quality, they definitely did a rush job ending to meet their launch deadlines.

Yeah, MGS2 is my vote. That ending, I can't describe it, I just laughed hysertically because

1. It was incredibly, incredibly stupid.
2. It lost me in the storyline. I was left scratching my head after all was said and done.

I like HL's ending, it fit the bill, but MGS2 was some drug-induced frenzy at the end. Made no sense.

I also have to agree on the Doom series having fvcking terrible endings but hey, who does play the originals for the story? Tim Willits once said that people buy id games for simple games and I totally agree with him. Stories aren't why I play games. Stories are why I watch movies and read books but a game should have a decent story with good art. Max Payne had a good story and ending too even though it was sort of unoriginal but how the hell can you be original nowadays?

ARGH!

Zak McKraken was pretty weak considering all the crap you had to go through to get there.

haha...funny how that game was so addicting - as if at some point in time you'd reach the nirvana of cartoon boobies.

Jesus people get real.... worst ending ever = Narc (in the arcades '80s)..... jeez I mean you get one try and one try only to kill a big nearly impossible head with wheels that turns into a flaming skull (if you die you have to start all over again from the start of the game)... and if you beat this monstrosity guess what (I did once, it cost me over $10 in quarters LOL silly kids )... you get a stupid ending that is just a screen that says "drugs are bad" or something like that.. trust me you just want to hunt down the creators of that game and beat the living crap out of them for that worthless ending LOL!
