If you're going to be one of the eager punters lining up at midnight for a copy of Halo 3, no doubt you'll be praying that the conclusion of Master Chief's sci-fi trilogy is a lot more satisfying than the second game.
But as much as Halo 2 was derided for its weak ending, is it really the gaming world's worst ending ever?
Screen Play is keen to hear your nominations for the worst game endings ever, and Screen Play has included a few nominations below to get you started.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Announced in 2020, Playground Games' open-world action RPG has seen sporadic updates and departures but still no release date.
I expect it to release by the time the next Xbox releases. Can that be 2026? Sure
You could say the same for any number of games that were stupidly announced during pre-production. Elder Scrolls 6 & Perfect Dark are current examples, Blade is another recent one and in the past Mass Effect Andromeda and Cyberpunk 2077 come to mind.
I don't think this game is in any trouble. For a start, Playground Games are one of the few under MS Studios that actually have a track record of delivering on time and with quality. We got a trailer last year and I'd fully expect there to be something more substantial at the next showcase in the summer.
No dramas here - just another victim of Microsoft's incompetence. They simply had to announce several games way too early because they had nothing else to talk about.
how are they a victim when they are clearly being given enough time? They haven't set any release date, haven't had to show any trailers, how is that being a victim? You even say yourself that you think it's not in trouble.
TESVI was mostly announced to stop people from asking. Like how they gave us a roadmap of first Starfield, then TES then Fallout. So people keep asking whether they'll do another one or not.
But Fable and Perfect Dark was defineately too early.
The same thing that happens to any project when you announce it far too early. Perfect Dark, Fable, The Elder Scrolls 6, Star Wars KOTOR Remake...you actually have to, I don't know, make the game?
I'm fairly confident this game will see the light of day, as Playground have released 5 Forza games of quality and on schedule. Think it was just revealed too early.
The only issue I see is that, as you mentioned, they have only done Forza games. An RPG is completely different requiring completely different facets.
Whole new different open world....not just tracks. Character designs and animations, dialogue, combat systems, quest systems, equipment and inventory managment....the list is very long and none of it falls under their previous experience.
Even with assistance from other studios I believe they are still far off from delivering a complete version of this game.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
looks like it.
I agree totally - I thought blogs were really not a suitable source for info - this is a persons opinion, so I thought it should belong to the forums.
Oh and why the pic too?
Stupid article. I thought Ico had a brilliant ending, and MGS2 didn't have a crappy ending, just a convoluted storyline. Half-Life 2 deseves a spot on their list though. I remember playing through the game, about to beat it, and then the G-Man just freezes time and sees its over.
I dont think Halo-2's ending is that bad, however Halo-3's ending is horrible.
agree finished the single player with a friend ( using a pirated copy) and i didnt liked the end .. but who cares halo is good for is multiplayer not singleplayer
