Title: Worst GC game ending
Post by: TheImfamousMonkey on April 09, 2003, 07:52:00 PM
my two "favorites" were Super Mario Sunshine and Eternal darkness, Maro, which was anticlimactic, relatively good game, hard last level (the part with the boat), and then a five minute boss battle, whats with that? ED, third best game i've ever played, had really cheesy dialogue at the end, with the whole "my death is only the beginning" thing Pious says, which was horribly cliched. Anyone else share my thoughts?

You could have at least put a spoiler warning. I thought those endings were great, i love the Mario Sunshine one soooooo much, and the Eternal Darkness one was extremely well done. The Luigis Mansion ending was excellent (esp the music, I WANT A SOUNDTRACK DAG NAMIT!), and the end of Starfox Adventures was AMAZING. I dont think ive played any GC games with bad endings...

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHOY!!!!
I loved the SMS ending, as well as the last battle. I can't remember ED's ending. Zelda's ending was a major dissapointment. Good credits music, but that whole part with the ship at the end was just bad. The music during that last part made me want to barf! The Final Bosses were kick A$$, though. Metroid Prime's ending was kinda' lame, also. . . Damn, Nintendo just needs to brush up on their ending sequences.

I've finished a lot of NES games over the years, so my opinions on how well an ending turns out is pretty poor. When I beat The Wind Waker, I expected Zelda to *ORIGINAL LEGEND OF ZELDA ENDING SPOILER AHEAD* say thank you and then I get thrown into a second quest instantly, with a remixed overworld and more of that old man's incoherent ramblings about how "DODONGO DISLIKES SMOKE." So, I don't really expect much from beating a game besides self-gratification.

To tell the truth, the only Zelda game who's ending I actually remember is Majora's Mask. It just really struck me as being very artistic. I have not yet beaten SMS or Wind Waker (although I mean to very soon).
Given that the only endings I can remember on GCN right now are Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0, Rogue Leader, and Eternal Darkness, I am going to have to say that Rogue Leader had the worst ending. It just seemed a little rushed to me, and the low quality of the FMV didn't help much.

I don't really like commenting on game endings because of the major spoil factor but Star Fox Adventures ending was so bad, it was not very rewarding for me. Metroid Prime's ending was alright but after I beat the final boss I didn't realize I was at the end of the game until the credits started to roll. I wouldn't say that any of the Cube game endings are terribly bad but some definately leave you wanting more.

I hated the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle ending. It was good in terms of content, but the music was set way too loud during the end credits, and that's when the characters are rambling on about stuff.
Subtitles were also deactivated during the credits. So I had to try and second guess. Silly Sega.

I agree that the ED ending was a little lacking, but the secret ending with that 4th god thing was pretty cool

SA2B was a sucky ass game for one thing with some of the woooorst dialogue ever, especcially in the end (did sonic HAVE to say "....the..hedgehog..." after every bloody time he said shadow?) ED had a nice ending, not great but nice, WW, yes dissapointing--sunshine puke city, and Starfox adventures was too horrible a ganme for me to play to the end.

Never beat SMS, lost motivation. Starfox Adventure ending was the worst ending ever. It was cheesy, crappy, wierd and dissapointing. Eternal Darkness ending wasnt impressing, but maybe it leaves room for a much more spectacular ending in the continued series.

no, the worst game ending belongs to Pit Fighter on the SNES... let me break it down for you:
main character holds up arm screen flashes "you are the new champion" screen flashes same "game over" screen (grey background, red text) as seen when you die return to title screen (which says Pit FIghter, no music, no animations, black background)

I haven't played a game with a bad ending yet for Gamecube...
So maybe I'll expand this to previous Nintendo Consoles. The worst endings have been basic games with no ending at all, but I can comment on the most dissapointing ending I've ever experienced- Final Fantasy 6. After going through the game and doing so much, I expected a completely epic ending, or at least something that would spark some emotion or be satisfied or something. Maybe even add a bit of closure to the game story. But no, it was none of that. In fact, it wasn't just disappointing, but horrible. I loved FF6, but the ending almost spoiled my enjoyment of the game.

Clonester...what? FF6 has like a half hour ending focusing on every single playable character with great music. I actually recorded it back in the day.
Anyways...people complaining about spoilers need to read the thread title. The thread is about game endings for crying out loud. Of course there are spoilers.

SPOILERS
After Fox has collected all but one of the Krazoa spirits, needed to restore Dinosaur Planet, he must fight General Scales for the final one. As he is about to do so, the force controlling Scales's army reveals himself to be none other than Andross!! He takes control of a gian Krazoa head and Fox must utilize his Arwing to defeat him classic Star Fox style. Falco shows up halfway through and together they defeat Andross. Once Dinosaur Planet is restored, Falco again joins the Star Fox crew to make the gang complete once more. In the last scene, Crystal lands on the ship to be with Fox. Overall a nice, neat little ending. No big plot twists or anything that surprised me but a very nice way to end the game. I loved it.
I loved Eternal Darkness's ending, especiall since you got a detailed explanation of what the hell wa going on if you beat all three paths. Mario's ending was very simplistic, as perusual with games in the series, and I absolutely LOVED Wind Waker's.

I thought the ending of Luigi's Mansion rocked. The music was sweat
You know what ending was bad, Timesplitters 2. God that was bad.

I beat Mario Sunshine in 2 and a half days. That ending pissed me so much that I returned the game on the third day.

The ending to Animal Crossing really pissed me off alot... I was walking on the dock and slipped and cracked my head off the side and died... then floated to the secret GBA island and the fish ate what was left of my body... now whenever I turn the game on all I see is my body floating there and a mole that keeps yelling at me for reseting... It's not like I have a choice I can't float home to save. BAD ENDING.

Worst ending, IMESHO, would have to be 007:Agent Under Fire. Anyone who's finished it must agree with me here. I wasn't even an ending... I WANT TO SEE ZOE'S CHEST- I mean... uhh..... It *is* a James Bond game after all.... right? .... eep.....

I could see where some people would like it, but I didn't, and you will have to live with that forever, hehehe...
The music was good in the ending, but most of FF6's music was good. Actually, my overall appeal of the game dwindled slightly (from amazing game to great/legendary game) towards the end, and I didn't particularly like the final boss battle with Kefka, but there is no doubting the fact that it was an amazing RPG. I guess the ending appeal is just a difference of views, that's all. I wish it had tied the storyline together for the most part, instead of leaving the strings untied.

I would have to say that Rogue Leader has the worst ending out of all the Gamecube games that i've played and beaten. Wasn't that ending from the movie?

Well, I don't know if anyone mentioned this before in the previous replies, but the worst game ending EVER was beating Super Mario Sunshine after finally collecting 120 shines.
I spent many a day trying to find two queer* blue coins on the Pianta Village world. I finally just gave up looking, went to my local Blockbuster store, and mooched a peek off of a Super Mario Sunshine strategy guide. Once I got the two buggers, I beat the game and pissed my pants in a horrific and disappointed rage.
---SPOILER ALERT---
Instead of seeing the "Racing Pianta" (I can never remember his name) at the end of the credits, you see a bunch of nokis, piantas, and Mario's little gang of friends saying "Have a great vacation" (Or something like that). Come on, GRRR, GEEZ!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, Super Mario Sunshine (SMS) was a tight and pretty awesome game when it came to it's adventure quality, but I spent many hours on that game only to be rewarded with a queer* little photograph.
*strange

It was awesome. You beat that Bowser dude, then you get the Mario painting. Prof E Gadd restores the Mario painting and Mario comes out of the machine, a tear comes out of Luigi's eye and then he starts laughing at Mario because hes all dizzy. The end credits roll, featuring the BEST VIDEOGAME MUSIC I HAVE EVER HEARD! And THEN you see the picture of the house and some other stuff that i forget right now. I love it!

*Smacks forehead*
Gah, how could I forget Bloody Roar: Primal Fury?
Ar, terrible endings. They were presented in very high quality anime FMV, but they were so short, it was annoying. They answered NOTHING, they opened up more questions! They DIDN'T MAKE SENSE! Not only that, but they had no voice. Only English subs.
Damn Eighting. At least leave the original Japanese language track in the there. Silence is freaky.

Wind Waker had a near perfect ending..
Till the VERY end of the ending, after the credits... that was horrible.
Worst ending of a cube title?
SMS was pretty bad... but, that wasn't dissapoing, no real story to end.. (final battle was probably the worst...ever.) Skies of Arcadia had a great ending, besides the cliche final battle *spoiler* (human, Death Star, human in "demon form") *end spoiler* The credits of that game explained ALOT, that was needed.
Metroid prime probably had the worst ending IMO, but the game was just so AMAZING that i didn't care much. The last few bosses and the overall experience still make it my favorite game ever... even if the ending was horrendous...
I believe the worst ending would have gone to OOT, if TWW didn't explain it all. Link's Awakening ending sucked *horribly* but, is nothing compared to the "ending" of Super Ghosts'n' Goblins (that ending almost made me cry... if you played it, you'll know why)
FF6 had a very good ending, it was incredibly long, but a good ending. Chrono Trigger has some of the best endingS (plural) of any game i can think of.... some of them are hilarious.
