Video Game Endings

[VeloJello]

I can't help but wonder: what are some video game endings that have really stuck out to you guys? Are there any that you've particularly savored, cried over, or raged at? Or does the end of your favorite game always leave you hungry for more? If you're going to delve into specifics, please leave them in spoilers or white out the text, although you should be fine if you're just saying "this was really cool" or "wow, they shouldn't have done that".

In case you're curious, I just finished Dishonored (Clean Hands ftw) and the ending really struck a chord with me. It felt really rewarding to have my extra sneaky work pay off, especially with Emily's little "Daddy" drawing. Holy crap, kid, way to tug some heartstrings. I really like endings that you can shape - the Bioshock games also had really great, really poignant endings (particularly Infinite unu).

I liked the ending of World of goo and Little inferno, something about them always seems somewhat magical to me o3o

Also the Mario party island tour Bowser tower if that counts, since I like a game that keeps it real by screwing you every time/shot

I'd have to say Earthbound's ending was pretty touching.

Out of the more recent games, I liked Max Payne 3's ending. I'd say it was a good way to close the series, unless there will be a Max Payne 4, of course.

No, no. You want to talk about touching endings to the mother games? (Mother 2 = Earthbound) Let's talk about Mother 3. That game is seriously the most depressing game in the entire world, and the thing that tops everything off is the ending. I don't cry over video games, but I'm not going to lie, I did cry here. Profusely. Go figure out a way to play a translated version of Mother 3, because it is seriously the best game I have played.

RIP my heart. I'm playing through Mother 3 right now, and man, the first few chapters are like the one-two punch to your emotional gut. Can't wait to see the ending, I know it's going to be good D:

The endings to the Kingdom Hearts games. They left a sense of slight foreboding, making you wonder if things really had been set right. One of the most beautiful series EVER.

My thoughts when finishing a few games with epic endings recently:

Final Fantasy VII - Sweet Revenge.

Final Fantasy VIII - I got lucky...

Resident Evil 6 - I can't believe I let you get the rocket launcher before me.

The Last of Us - ... D: WHAT NO RESOLUTION?!?!!?!

Not that anyone would know what this is but, Dreamfall. Longest Journey left on a giant cliffhanger and Chapter's Book one JUST GOT GOOD AND THEN STOPPED. I. NEED. MOAR. STORY.

More to come at six.

You're right, I don't know what it is. Wiki says it's an adventure game though, and the graphics and character designs remind me of Tomb Raider. Would Tomb Raider and maybe Uncharted be a good comparison?

Still need to finish The Last of Us... xD

All the Mass Effect games and their endings. Certainly stuck with me. PMD (Blue Rescue and Sky/Time/Darkness) definitely stood out to me. I'm sure there are many more games, but those are the main ones for me. c:
