Mass Effect 3 is the only correct answer.

Haven't played that as of yet. Still hoping for a ME trilogy on PS4.

I think he's also thinking from a disappointing/unhappy ending which in some ways TLOU didn't necessarily end very happily. Depending on how you look at it, it could be considered a bad ending.

The Order, along with the honor of being one of the worst 'games' of all time.

I think God of War 2 ending was a buzzkill because it ended as the game hit it's climax. I can't remember playing a lot of games where I actually felt the ending was bad.

I know the best ending of a game this gen. Ryse because the game ended.

I seriously don't get why people hate the ME3 ending so much?!?! They definitely could've fleshed it out a bit more, but I thought it was fine. I guess I'm one of the very few...

Yea, I don't see why people dislike the literal personification of a deus ex machina showing up in the last 10 minutes of a 90 hour story to destroy everything you ever loved with a giant space dildo, and then advertising DLC.

Biting sarcasm aside, I don't agree it's the worst, there are plenty of shitty games with even more shitty endings. We just overlook them because they weren't worth our time.

Fallout 3 ending was absolutely terrible.

I stopped playing that game shortly after I reached the ending, and I had lot more stuff to do. That end sucked away all the passion I had for the game, I hated it.

... Clearly you haven't played KOTOR2.. That game has the most memorable bad ending I have ever seen, in that there really wasn't one and the game literally cut off with you just flying away, or staying in the asteroid temple... To make matters worse is I remember that entire section of that game being incredibly buggy and rough around the edges.

To be perfectly honest it really always sounded like people were pissed that there wasn't a "good" ending for them... And honestly I didn't think ME3's biggest fault in that game was the ending, but the entire pacing in how it literally crammed huge events happening in it.. ME3 had quite a few major plot points that could have been their own complete games compared to how small scale the first two games were. It felt rushed.

The Orders is pretty bad.

I have to have a street fight with this guy, when I have a gun and when I shoot him with this gun he dies immediately. Just one of many inconsistencies in the game.

Just finished COD AW. Wasn't really blown away by the ending either. Most fps games these days end with somebody falling a great height to their death.

There are thousands of games with way worse endings then anything you listed... On that note, other. Not even close. If you think those games had bad endings then you haven't played many games.

I didn't play ME3 but I'll go with Halo 2.

I thought Metroid Prime 3 had a disappointing ending.

I remember Asura's Wrath having its ending cut from the main game and sold separately as DLC.

True. As much as I loved KOTOR, I remember some review saying KOTOR 2 had a game breaking bug in the gameplay, so I totally avoided the game. Of course, that was a long time ago and I stupidly believed what reviewers said back then.

Fear 2 or Fear 3. The former I played, so I'd lean towards that, but I heard about what happens at the end of Fear 3, and I was impressed by how incredibly fucking stupid all that shit is.

I don't understand what is Bioshock Infinite doing on this list. In fact, it has one of my favorite video game endings of all time, it made me want more but satisfied me at the same time. The ending alone was the deciding factor for me to buy the DLC, and I rarely buy any.

It did have game breaking bugs, it was released unfinished!

I honestly enjoyed the ending for Mass Effect 3, yeah it wasn't anything special but I was still satisfied that I saved the whole galaxy like a bauss. Then again most games endings are fairly meh to begin with. My most disappointing is pre DLC Fallout 3.
