Games with Crappy Endings (Spoiler-Free)

by psykhophear

These are the games that have disappointing endings and could've been better. The people at HISHE should create their own versions of these endings.

Ghostbusters

1. Ghostbusters

"CONGLATURATION!
You've completed a great game."

That sums it all up.

Halo 2

2. Halo 2

Never seen it before but people say it's bad. Need to check it out myself.

Rage

3. Rage

I didn't believe it at first but the reviewers were right. Rage has one of the worst endings in video game history. No final boss battle, no epic conclusion and no sense of accomplishment. All you get in the end is a lousy cutscene that fails to impress and leaves you unsatisfied. It's uncertain if id Software wanted to make it ambiguous or they couldn't come up with a great ending.

Bottom line, the ending sucks.

Out of This World

4. Out of This World

Out of This World is not an easy game and as classic as it is, it's disappointing to see an ending so brainless after all your hard work. Eric Chahi, the creator, had said that he deliberately left the ending ambigious to leave it to the viewer's own interpretation. I find it to be a lame excuse. I think he just couldn't come up with a good ending.

BioShock

5. BioShock

Regardless of which ending you receive, they all suck. Even the very good ending is badly executed. You don't see the protagonist's face, everything looks so static and everything feels rushed. Good thing the second BioShock has a better ending.

American McGee's Alice

6. American McGee's Alice

Even though it's a happy ending, it feels rushed and it's as if American McGee didn't put a lot of thought into it. I was hoping to see Alice saying her goodbyes to her Wonderland freaks before departing but that didn't happen. What a letdown.

Battletoads in Battlemaniacs

7. Battletoads in Battlemaniacs

After what the Battletoads been through, how could they let the Dark Queen slip away so easily? Useless bunch of frogs!

File:Box-Art-John-Romeros-Daikatana-NA-PC.webp

8. John Romero's Daikatana

Not a bad ending but it was poorly executed. It had too many cheesy dialogue and a terrible twist that you'll just laugh at it.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

9. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Dementium II

10. Dementium II

If you thought the first Dementium had a bad ending, well think again. Dementium II has some of the worst endings you'll ever see.
