poll: best/worst video game endings
kwarlord
the long .sigs. thank you)
What is the best videogame ending to you?
I liked Final Fantasy 3 (FF6) with the world returning to normal.
I enjoyed A Link to the Past for the same reason.
what is the WORST videogame ending to you?
Bard's Tale. just some lame credits with no music or anything! grrr...
thanks for replying.

1)A plethora of mostly Nintendo games with just a "congratulations"
screen....as you stated .. AARGH! How about Madden '99 for
NO ENDING!
2)Best endings .. I can't recall details but I remember enjoying Ninja Gaiden
being good, many others ... I think some of the best endings aren't really
awesome, they're just attached to games you are extremely proud to have finally
beaten =)

Hehe. I remember completing Karnov, which I thought was pretty impressive for a kid
at the time, and only to see "CONGRATULATIONS." I could kill the developer. :^)
Still! I think the worst ending of any game has to be Porky's for the Atari 2600,
which was one of the few games that actually ended. The thing that made the ending
bad (a shot of the exploding building) is that the stupid developers showed it in
the beginning of the game! ...And to think people are complaining about fighting
game endings in another thread. hehe

I agree; I don't care what I see when I complete Rayman, but it'll be great to me.
The Ninja Gaiden series had arguably the best NES endings, but then they are the
games which pioneered the whole "story" concept in an action game.
Sonic 2 was really impressive for the time. I loved how the game actually ended,
meaning not just the final viewing sequence but the way the last few stages were
arranged. Toejam & Earl's ending was fantastic -- seeing it made you hate the
developers for not putting that much detail into the actual game. Castle of
Illusion had a nice ending, which most Disney games did come to think of it.
Kirby's Adventure for the NES has a nice ending to (surprising when the SNES
version are lesser games). I'll saw Grandia, too, but then I'd think most people
would expect a good ending in a RPG.

secret and 00 level, due to getting Zelda - maybe those endings are better.
I felt that it was very difficult completing the game, and the Bond /
Natalya kissing, and then the close ups were very disappointing

Here's my thought. These are from the games I have played.
Best fighting game ending
: Vapire Hunter-I just like the feeling that the ending gave. *shrug*
: Pocket Fighter-got cut voices and intermission at the end. Dan is hularius.
Best RPG endings
:Final Fantasy 2 (us)-Complete closure to the story. Very well done and long.
(have yet to finish FF3)
:Sakura War(If you consider SW a Rpg)-Long multi endings. Nuff said. (have
yet to finish SW2, Grandia, Lunar1+2, Shining Force 2+3)
:PDS-again, I just like the feelings that this ending gave me. So sad.
Worst Fighting game endings
Ryu (SF): Please don't make me explain this.
XvsSF: ...
Most 3-d Fighting games: Most of them don't even have an ending.
Worst RPG
at the moment, I can only think of Albert Odyssy. The closure is not as
speticle as I thought.
All of this is my oppinions. Feel free to disagree.

you know you have a good pt., but to be fair to goldeneye, the game ended
just like you would expect a james bond movie to end.
Bob McQuiston
It was a great game despite a few bugs. It took me about 3 hours to beat
the primigen, and I was expecting the ending to be one of the best ever.
But, all there was is adon having a 45 second conversation with turok. no
cool grapics or ANYTHING. BIG DISAPOINTMENT!
As for favorite I don't really have one.

Best Endings
------------------
Street Fighter 2\Alpha 1-3\"THREE"
KOF series excluding '98
Thunder Force 2/3/4
Gaiares: DAMN good one.
G-Darius (short, but still good. Great BGM plays during the credits.)

Darius Gaiden
Out Run
Phantasy Star 2 & 4
Ghouls N Ghosts
Golden Axe (arcade): The credits screen will crack you up.
Streets of Rage 2
Worst endings
-------------------
KOF'98: I could come up with worse but the lack of team-specific
endings surely bites. Why does a killer game get a bad ending?
1942: Is that all? You get "We give up!" yadda yadda, "Bonus
10,000,000 points". To be fair, I think this was one of the first
games you could actually finish.
Power Drift: The ending is too short. It zooms in on your character's
car with a still shot of your character in a victory
pose as "CONGRATULATIONS!" and similar phrases
clutter the screen. The intros are better than the
ending itself. Like KOF'98 this is another story
of an awesome game getting a sorry ending.
Ikari Warriors: You save the Colonel, and that's about it.
Twin Cobra 2: Like Ikari Warriors you get little more than
"Congratulations: Mission Accomplished" then "GAME OVER" when you
finish it.

Currently, it's Alpha Centauri, if only because it has the most
optimistic ending of late (human transcendance for crying out loud!).

All right! Another Kirby mention! It's a shame the SNES versions don't
live up to the NES one. Kirby's Adventure has to be the best
implementation of a story in an action game that I've seen in the longest
time, and the ending sequences were really special, too. :^) I've only
recently played it, but the only game that has struck me similarly was
Sonic 2.

The NES version is quite a bit more challenging. Six hits and you're dead
(instead of ten), no second helpers, and the environments and special goals
provide more challenge than the SNES ones. Many goals require that you carry
over powers from previous levels, quick reflexes and evasive techniques, and so
on and so forth. There's still the problem of near unlimited lives to be had
(though you have to open up the secret games in the NES version and opposed to
Dreamland 3 where they're spread all over the place), but the goals themselves
can be quite challenging to manage due to rapid reflexes or abundance of
obstacles. It's funny that Dreamland 3 has _less_ power-ups than the NES one,
though it lacks the animal friends.
The NES one took me a week or two of near constant play to complete? I blew
through Dreamland 3 in a day. :^( I like Kirby Super Star well enough because
it plays more like the NES one (most games incorporated in Super Star are
variations of the bonus games unlocked in Adventure).

I for one was a bit disappointed with Dreamland 3's look. I love it, but it
definitely isn't _Kirby_, at least in my mind after beginning with the NES
version. The intro in the NES one has this cute little sequence where Kirby is
drawn and colored like the simple character he is. :^) After awhile I got used
to it, and I do agree it is graphically very pretty.

Yeah, I've certainly noticed that and I think the reason is because of
Nintendo's conservative business practices make them unwillingly to introduce a
"new" character until the system has established itself. I don't see any other
reason for it -- the Kirby games are good and the character is cute and likable
more so than any other of theirs. Even Nintendo system launches with the
bankable Mario who people love for some insane reason, then the other handful
of Nintendo characters show up, then Kirby when the system dies. Considering
that I won't buy a N64 until it dies, I certainly don't find this too much of a
problem. hehe

I agree. Did anyone beat the game without cheating? I was lazy; I used a

I felt this way, too. I won't spoil the ending, but once you finally do
beat Rayman (a truly monumental task), the sense of accomplishment is so
great, that even a lame ending doesn't matter...(Rayman's ending isn't lame,
though...it's sure better than Karnov's! ;) ).
God, Rayman's such a cool game...

Heh, probably. Played the SFC Kirbys recently, and they're very cool games,
but I felt they were waaaay too easy to finish without any challenge
(because they were targeted towards young children I guess). Is the NES one
like that too or a little more challenging?
And I think that "hand-drawn charcoal/pastel look" of Kirby 3 on SFC is the
coolest thing. ^_^ One of the SFC/SNES prettiest games.
Ever notice how (with exception of Gameboy) that all Kirby games are
released basically after each system is dead? NES Kirby didn't come out
until after the SNES was established. Saturn and PS were out before the
SNES/SFC Kirbys came out (maybe not the 'golf' game, but the "real ones").
I'm pretty sure the N64 was out before Kirby 3. The
often-delayed/canceled/brought back N64 one will probably follow the same
pattern.

IMO, because they wrapped up all the story points in '97. To
be honest, I think half the characters don't even belong in '98
because (SPOILERS AHEAD)
- Rugal shouldn't still be alive (dead after '95)
- Chizuru isn't needed for about another 8-9 years (since Orochi
only attempts to resurrect himself every 10 years, and according
to the SNK propaganda, she succeeded in sealing off Orochi with
Kyo and Iori)
- the entire New Faces team should be dead, since Orochi didn't
seem to give back Chris's body when he was sealed and supposedly
Yashiro and Shermie suicided to get Orochi going in the first
place
- Yamazaki probably got his pay, won't be seen again until he
needs more money
- Takuma, Heidern, and Saishu are only present because Rugal is.
Remember, Heidern didn't see a need to fight once Rugal was out
of the picture, and Takuma (or Saishu) weren't in '96-'97, which
were non-Rugal years
- The absurdity of the USA Sports team suddenly reappearing
'98 is a pure fighter, much in the vein of Fatal Fury Special. Though
if they wanted to be absolutely complete, they might as well have
tossed back in Eiji, Kasumi, and the Boss Team (I could have made
allowances for Goenitz and Orochi).
I predict '99 is going to see radical changes in teams (or 2000, if they
decide not to restart the story arc in '99).
Phew... how was that for a rambling? :)

I've heard this game referred to as the "Dream Match" before, a "what if" if you will. Don't really need a story since it's a bunch of fighters fighting people they never would have met.

That never made any sense to me. It didn't fit with their background it all. Seems the game people pulled it out of their a**. Actually, I read an interesting fanfic which described the Orochi New Face team as different than the normal New Face team who were clones. That made a lot of sense. At least it explains why the Orochi and normal New Face team can fight each other.
Oh well, I just think Shermie is the best thing to ever happen to KOF so I'm biased...

I hope they completely redesign the game. It looking the same after all these years is getting old... they could make it look so much better.

Most recently, Fallout 2. It wasn't particularly impressive, but the
ending changed depending on what side quests you decided to do. I thought
that was a neat touch.

Yes, the character theme medley and everything. That ending was the

The worst? Hmmm, I remember playing a game and the ending was just

I don't rememebr DoA having an ending except for the fact that it gave you a
picture to look at and sometimes a new costume... oh, and the fact that it
let you watch people fight during the credits... which was cool for the
first time...

Not to mention how easy that final boss was if you knew the trick to
defeating it. <8*) I thought Quake was more of a game engine than an
actual game, though. The level design was great, and the game engine was
way ahead of its time, but the "story" was a bit hokey and copied mostly
from Doom.
I understand Quake II was a better game, but I haven't played it...

Obviously, you didn't understand anything about Tactics story. Ovelia found
out that delita used Ramza so she chose to avenge him, in part because she
thinks that Ramza's dead. Delita wanted to kill Ovelia because he wanted to
get rid completely of the royal family. Delita's last words were truly
inspiring to me.
William Geiger
I don't think he intended to kill her. IMO he was unaware that Ovelia
had listened in on his conversations. I think he wanted her as a puppet.

I remember laughing out loud the first time I saw that....... "You now

well..... though CV2 is one of my fav NES games whereas POW hardly
compared...

You obviously haven't beaten Karnov then.

I think there's a little blue heart on the screen somewhere too.
It's been a while...

worst: Abe's Exoddus (i rescued 297 out of 300 mudokons and received this
pathetic "too bad you didn't get them all" bullsh*t)
Mike G.
worst: lots of candidates -- Tomb Raider 2 and Might & Magic 3: Isles of
