Re: Best and Worst Game Endings

What gun you can't fire? I liked Crysis. Got to admit the ending was "What? Already? But I want MORE!!!!!" I actually liked the later levels...

I think it was called the tac-nuke gun or something. U have to hover it over the target until a little loading bar has rolled across the screen signalling a lock-on then u get to click a button and see a bit of it explode. Rather than getting the satisfaction of blowing it away yourself you end up with what amounts to a shoddy interactive cutscene or semi-quicktime event. It takes away all real control from the player. That, and finding out and the realisation that "THIS IS THE END?!?!?!?!?!" was a real let down. I was expecting another 2 hours of play since the Aircraft Carrier sequence was origenally billed as being the 2/3rds or even the halfways point. The game was supposed to have an ending, not this TO BE CONTINUED bull. But they ran out of time and EA is never opposed to wringing more money out of us poor shlubs by making us buy another game just to get the ending of the one we already played so what can you do?

Eh? You needed to aquire lock and then you could fire a missile. I heard the weapon itself was sometimes buggy for some people. I had no problems with it myself tough.

You're a wrongularity from which no right can escape!

 
Re: Best and Worst Game Endings
Very buggy for me. It would freeze up halfway through acquiring the lock and then i'd have to switch weapons in and out to get it to start again, by which point u didn't have enough time to kill it before you get blown up. It made the ending so frustrating for me it spoiled a lot of my enjoyment. Doesn't stop me playing the first half tho. Just isn't much fun when the aliens turn up although the Zero-G section is a very pleasant surprise.

Best Game Endings:

Wing Commander III: Hearth of the Tiger (Kilrah exploded, woah!)
Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom (Tolwyn hanging in jail :D)
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (it blows me off, back to the beginning, i liked it)
Portal (i give you a cake)
Day of the Tentacle


The Worst Game Endings:
Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance (the complete last act with the death star II hasn't to do anything with the main story of the game)
Command & Conquer 3 - Tiberium Wars (a cliffhanger in a C&C Game? WTF!)
Monkey Island 2 - LeChucks Revenge (i hate it! Guybrush and LeChuck as children in a Theme Park.)
StarLancer (there wasn't a real ending after all, it was a simple video debriefing, like in most fan-made FreeSpace Campaings)
FreeLancer (you saved the universe and now please leave us alone)


Just my two cents :)

I can't really think of any bad ones ... Though I do agree the original FO3 ending made me cringe. Didn't help that I was saving exploring till after I finished the main quest.

That was my only contribution to my school- I showed it to everyone one day before school started. Within a week, people were quoting it left and right. Though only my friends cared that I'd found it.
