1. Jak 3
i don't know why i like this ending so much but it seems like it's because i think that it shows how far Jak & Daxter has come showing that they will not leave each other kind of like Sam & Max How During their Adventures they are never apart unless they are forced. and i just think it ended the trilogy nicely but i still hope for a Jak 4

4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. Halo: Reach
1. Call of Duty: Black Ops
Not sure if serious? Or are you joking about the guiness book of world records?
Easy. More famous a title is, better the ending it has. Haven't you heard?
hes talking about the gamers edition which had the top 50 endings with black ops being first
No, he's not serious. Three of those are mainstream shooters, and Dashing likes original ideas.
Also, Monkey Island 2 isn't on his list.
WHAT??
Stupid. Stupid. STUPID.
WTF??????
Sonic Eraser.
I'm lumping these two together under one entry because they sort of tie together. In Metroid Prime,
4. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
You guys really didn't think I would make a list without including a Kingdom Hearts game, did you? Throughout the game, you pretty much know where things are going, but it still blew me away to actually see how everything played out and where everyone ended up.
3. Assassin's Creed II
As much as the end of Gemini Rue had me glued to my seat, wanting to reach the ending, that's how bad the ending of Assassin's Creed II left me wanting the next game.
2. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
I've always loved the story of Majora's Mask, so naturally, it has my favorite ending of the series. Granted, I've never seen what the ending is like if you don't complete the Bomber's Notebook, but in the ending where you do, I love seeing all of the game's plot threads resolved, the end result of every single person you helped during the game.
1. Gemini Rue
That's right. After going through the list of every game I've ever played, choosing my favorite endings, and weighing them against each other, I decided that my favorite video game ending is from an indie game.
Honorable Mention: Tales of Monkey Island, Episode 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood
If it wasn't for this ending, I probably wouldn't be posting on this forum right now. This is the one case where I can honestly say that I've made a ton of friends just because the ending of a game was so intense, I just had to talk to somebody about it, and I came to these forums to do that.
5. Syberia
4. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
3. Silent Hill 2 - Dog Ending
2. Ninja Gaiden
1. Earthbound/Mother 3
My list....so far...
Oh yes. This is the most heartbreaking part
I guess Deus Ex would be on the list, then of course Monkey Island 2.
Two indies would be on it at least: Gemini Rue and Super Meat Boy (Dark World Ending).
Last choice: Beyond Good & Evil.
My most favorite videogame ending must be Red Dead Redemption. It's weird that although the developer is Rockstar Games, it doesn't have the GTA God ending either.
You and me both.
Crono Trigger - Once upon a time I was an an incredibly sensitive kid, maybe too sensitive. Crono Trigger hit a sweet, sentimental spot with me. The game itself was something I'd never experienced before, a sci fi RPG as much as a fantasy one with insanely creative elements. After the death of the protagonist and all the work to get him back, that final scene with the two innocent loves flying into the sky on balloons with their theme playing in the background was just touching.
Final Fantasy 6 - Had one of the single most epic endings of all time. I think that ending went 30 minutes, with a 15 minute montage of all the main characters with their themes mixed. After such a long, challenging and deep RPG, to end it with so much bravado and triumph was only fitting. I consider this game to be a masterpiece.
Portal - It's hard to explain what an impact Portal's minimalist approach had on me. It's so short that the entire game... I probably played through in a day. I like star. I like questioning. I remember the endings of THX 1138, Blade Runner, Metropolis, Solaris, Akira, 1984, A Brave New World as some of the best I'd ever seen or read and, since I consider this world to be inherently harsh and often meaningless, with no easy answers, I find endings that do not provide easy answers to be occasionally the most appealing to me, or at least the most intellectually stimulating. Portal's ending was about more than the end, but about all that was left unstated. It gave no real answers, provided little in background, and left you with a character, possibly dead, victim to a cold laboratory to which there seemed to be no other survivors. The ending is the game and the game is the ending, and it was one of the most intriguing I'd ever played.
Metal Gear Solid - The original MGS is still the best, in my mind. MGS Snake Eater is close, but little compares to me to seeing the humanization of Snake and his relationship to Meryl and Otacon over the course of the game. The closing scene, and the emphasis on life and the appeal to people to enjoy living their lives, was a triumph after seeing so much of a character defined by death. Unfortunately, future games in the series pandered too much in sci fi babble and war jargon (both of which have been done better many times), rather than emphasizing the importance of the character's transition.
goddamn the tears that streamed down my face
4. Portal 2
3. No More Heroes 2
2. Tales of Symphonia
1. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Honorable Mention: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This has dropped off the list because the more I think about it, the more I blame Princess Zelda for screwing with time travel. Ganondorf's possession of the Triforce AND the whole mess with the Legend of Zelda timeline is all her fault.
5. Heavy Rain
4. Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse
3. Secret of Monkey Island
2. MGS4
1. Grim Fandango
2. L.A. Noire
3. Halo 3
4. Dead Rising (yeah, I know, multiple endings)
5. Call of Duty: Black Ops
No. Just no.
4. Terraria
3. Audiosurf
2. Tetris
1. Poker Night at the Inventory
DUDE.
WORMS WORLD PARTY.
Sheesh.
2.Legacy Of Kain: Defiance(Oh how I love Closure)
3.Mortal Kombat(2011)
4.Portal 2.
5.Resident Evil 3
That said, Ending of Another Code R. Oh god, it made me cry twice.
2 weeks apparantly.
But you know what? I'll give the ending of Black Ops a watch, see what all those frat boy voters were so excited about.
...
Seriously? That is what was voted as the greatest ending of all time? I mean, it was a fine ending to the game's story and all, so it's not like the ending is inherently bad. It's just...not really anything spectacular. Oh, so the protagonist
As for the ending after the credits...I can't find anything really spectacular about Kennedy, Castro, and Nixon getting ready to fight zombies. It's actually sort of laughably stupid.
That...actually makes me want to play Black Ops.
Anyways, I'm still quite annoyed that there weren't any LucasArts adventure games on there at all.
Also, while it doesn't deserve the #2 spot at all, I do think Halo: Reach's ending is good enough to be there. Its campaign was actually story-driven, unlike Black Ops.
