We always talk about worst endings, but what is the best ending in gaming?

FF13-2 should have been the original FF13, it would have been so much better as a standalone mainline game written without any connections to the actual FF13 we got

What if the PC only shows up after the credits?

Black Flag had a good ending on all accounts

This counts too. Some cutscenes persist through credits.

first post ver very retarded?

tidus doesn't really hate his dad, he hates his mom for ignoring him and blames Jecht for it but he still idolizes him all the same, just like his mom

Caius should have at least been introduced in the first game. He was leagues better than Robot Pope.

DEUS EX. MULTIPLE ENDINGS.

This ending makes women and gays sob every time

FFX was literally the Titanic of gaming. Why can't anything match it? It fucking sucks.

I really loved both endings in RDR2. That being Arthurs death and John killing Micah. Also the first end credit track is fantastic.

>tidus doesn't really hate his dad, he hates his mom for ignoring him and blames Jecht for it but he still idolizes him all the same, just like his mom
>''I hate you, dad.''
I think that was in the game, maybe not the exact quote, but something similar. But the game clearly shows he hates his dad, even though his mother was worse (you are probably one of the rare few who got this part, lol).
Also, I never understood why is Jechs acting so immature. Unless this is just how Tidus remembers him, and pretty inaccurate, just to have a ''real'' reason to hate him. There are so many things in that game that made no sense.

...when you need to read fans' explanations and theories because the story and game itself suck.
Like the game this user mentioned.

You posted the best ending.

The ending itself was flawless, but the kino Jechit battle was ruined once again when he wasn't the final boss & instead we got a generic piece of shit instead. FF9 was ruined by the exact same thing

> 6. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
I mean its a typical ending? Whats so special about it?

Jecht was arrogant, not immature.

From what I gather Tidus hates Jecht from Zanarkand for being a bit of a dick and abandoning them but then picks up all those spheres in Spira and sees that Jecht really cares about him and tried to do something for the greater good.

It's a typical storybook ending executed to perfection, like Snow White it's the execution not the complexity that matters

Depends on how you look at it, user.
>''Oh, what's the matter? Gonna cry again? Cry, cry. That's the only thing you're good for!''
To me, this is immature. Not arrogant.
Also, ''I am the best blitzball player, you will never be like me'' is also immature.

>I had a dream of my wife. She was dead. But it was all right.

There has never been a greater final line in a game. I pretend Max Payne 3 doesn't exist because of how it undermines such a great ending to such a great character.

Nier

nothing in the series hit a peak this high before or after. 1 was a typical love letter to spy and action flicks, whereas 3 relies on cheap emotional tugging. This was something else.

These journalists put it better then i ever could
> it goes without saying that Ocarina of Time has the most legendary ending in any game ever. This game only gets better and better with time as the ending and the game itself have held up year after year. It’s almost as if OOT had the budget of a movie, because it just feels so grand, and so perfect. All we can say is that out of everything on this list, the ending for Ocarina of Time just feels like the king among kings.

>Tales of Berseria

Honestly with some changes and better direction FFXV could have been a 10/10. I feel like all the pieces were there.

type-0 also had the same problem
mediocre game, but some cool concepts and a serious war story with a very strong end

Yeah, it holds up. You can't play 2 without 1, you won't know what the fuck is going on. 3, on the other hand, has almost nothing to do with the previous games.

What if this happens, but in reverse?

Card game is just to minmax and makes the game a cakewalk.

Shadow Hearts

Honestly the best/saddest part was "never forget them"

t. brainlet that didn't get the symbolic significance of the yu yevon battle and possibly the game as a whole

The only rare card that's a bitch to get is Laguna

From that thumbnail it looks like some hunched over white faced guy with a JUST haircut is stalking behind Yuna.

MGS3's ending is terrible. The whole story is fucking bad, especially the nonexistent character arcs.
Imagine writing a story your main character doesn't properly react to until the fucking terrible sequel?
Metal Gear Solid follows in line with Star Wars almost perfectly
MGS3 is fucking ewoks, man. It's got its moments but it's too similar and the gameplay in the forest was God awful. It does have some of the best boss fights, though.

The ending score to Yuna's speech was perfect too

>999
I love everything about this ending but THAT FUCKING SUDOKU just ruins it for me.

Really depends how you like to take the "ending" of this game, but I think the collective whole of everybody's individual "endings" is pretty kino, even if the actual game end is not that spectacular.

The ending is just confusing as fuck. I remember thinking to myself "What the shit did I just witness?"

It was a weird ending, not sure if it was good or bad.

This

I really dislike Seymour. I mean I really fucking hate Seymour. But after playing it again recently I guess I understand why he exists. If Spira is dying then I guess it makes sense to make a character to embody the logical extreme of that idea. If it's jealousy of the living that creates monsters and living creates nothing but problems then everyone being dead would solve every problem. Everyone could live on as Unsent spirits that Sin doesn't seem to care about. Which is the best end possible since Sin will never ever go away. Fuck Seymour though. Sure would be nice if he just explained himself rather than being a cackling madman with stupid hair.

I love berserias, man. Tales games are kinda kusoge but when you have a cast with that much synergy it's just a treat. I hope they have a third game because berserias was that good, even though it's incredibly unlikely.

I mean Majora's Mask is just a collection of short stories, you could argue that every ending is great.

Couple's Mask and Gibdo Mask obviously stand out.

Disc 4 is nonstop kino.

The ending to Deadly Premonition was pretty funny

The 'Promise Ending' that was a part of the Director's Cut of Fatal Frame 2 where Sae and Yae complete the ritual, everyone is freed from the Hellish Abyss, the ghost villagers are freed, and Mio and Mayu are spared is pretty much the best ending.

Originally the plan was to post something snarky about never finishing anything, but you've got my interest. I played a little of inFamous and it struck me as a low intensity post-GTA power trip. Are the endings great story-wise or gameplay wise or both or what and why? If you don't mind my prying.

I loved clubbing this guy to death with with dragon bone smasher.

"No one wishes to go on...."

Just by playing the game and suffering through the whole thing, you prove his bitch ass wrong. I raged throughout the whole game. It caused me so much more suffering than happiness. It was worth it.

Seymour is just one embodiment of the general attitude of the Spira and the Yevonite church in particular. I think Yunalesca sums it up pretty well: "It is better to die in hope than live in despair." The Spirans would rather passively resign themselves to whatever "fate"(i.e. Sin) has in store for them(and in fact fetishize the idea through the self-sacrifice of the summoners, people who bravely meet said fate instead of trying to escape it), all while stagnating and dwelling in the past. Seymour's very value system is flawed, not just the way he goes about it.

>Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
Mah nigga. The whole epilogue is some of the best post-game content in any RPG and made the "final" ending feel really satisfying.

You are out of your fucking mind if summoning and killing the aeons (fayth) to kill Yu Yevon, the “immortal” summoning bug thing, is generic in the slightest. I refuse to believe that this setting is so common that it wasn’t a unique experience for you.

>Conkers Bad Fur Day
Most kino ending I've ever seen. It's almost Shakespearean.

>And you never know what you've got... 'til its gone.
>gone
>gone

It's just brainlets who can't comprehend symbolism and lump every JRPG final boss into "lol killing God"

>Cryostasis
A lot of the most memorable endings you'll see are sad, tragic, or at least highly ambivalent, which makes sense because good ending is marked by catharsis, and catharsis usually involves person growing, changing from who they are and that usually happens when we force ourselves to accept something we don't like to accept. Cryostasis is pretty much unique and amazing in that it manages to pull of a GENUINE CATHARSIS while at the same time providing GENUINELY HAPPY ENDING.
It's a testament of really good twist, really good and human, character driven story.

Other noteworthy endings to me:
>Bastion
>Braid (the real ending, not the epilogue that nearly ruins it)
>Silent Hill 2
>Shadow Of Colossus
>Pathologic
>SpecOps The Line (especially the Welcome to Dubai ending)
>Portal

MGS3 for me
