damn to those endiiinnngs §!!

at the end of hl2, i got a feeling like "that's it?" The game's plot didnt really build. extremely anticlimatic.

true, but thats the whole point of the hl2 story considering the freeman perspective.

most players never see a game's ending. so it's not a big priority from a developer's standpoint. hard but true

Some games have absolutely fantabulous endings though, like Ico and Vagrant Story. To be honest, I tend to find that Japanese games have stronger endings than Western games, and as a bi-product of that, its console games rather than PC games that tend to recieve them. I can't really remember the last time I played a PC game and was particularly enthraled by the storyline, but it happens quite often on consoles.

lol

Best games have no ending. Ie. Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, Planetside

One good ending was Fallout 2. When I completed it, I really felt I had accomplished something. Made me want to cry "Ohmai I saved my tribe and got to do some crazy stuff on the way, what an experience."

How about Max Payne 2?

Zelda on snes had a cool ending

Blue shift had the ending I hoped the end would be like in HL1.

GrayFox you took the words out of my mouth. Max Payne series had a great storyline and I guess the ending in Max Payne 2 is pretty good

Yeah MP2 storyline was fine enough for me.

I haven't actually played the second one, but the Max Payne games are certainly some of the better examples of a storyline being done right.

I thought FEAR had a cool ending (well, maybe the actual ending wasnt very cool, but some of it was )

i thought bia eib had a cool ending

::runs for cover::

Needs more spoilertron text. You ruined my life

Fear's ending was really cool.

I never seen an Automic Explosion go off in an fps like that before. That was really cool, although i was disipointed there were no bosses in the game to fight.

Other then that the small ending with the girl poping up into the helicopter for a sequal, that usually happens in everyhting including movies. The game was more or less like a movie so it fit pretty well.

Algor: Spoilerized.

I just played through God of War. Really satisfying ending.

dont say grim fandango had a bad ending.. it didnt
