The Greatest Videogame Endings Ever

The Matrix - 125 days 22 hours ago

Fallout 3 had a surprisingly emotional and amazing ending. It's a good moral story about how humans have advanced and become more aware over thousands of years yet our main focus of destroying other people and nations hasn't become any less prevalent or barbaric. Good stuff.

F3 could have done a LOT better on the presentation of the endings. A bunch of screen caps with a voice-over isn't that impressive at all.

My favorite is undoubtedly MGS3. One of the most epic things I have ever seen in any form of entertainment. MGS4 was right up there with it though.

The lack of MGS3 in this arrticle is sad.

MGS3 is my favourite ending ever. That ending cutscene with the voiceover by EVA is so tearjerking.

:(

I agree, MGS3 and MGS4 should be on there.

When Naked Snake killed Boss and you had to press the button to put a bullet to her skull. Then Ocelot still chases after you unexpectedly.

Solid and Liquid Ocelot fights.

Killing The Boss made me kind of sad. And all what happens after that was amazing too.

Drake' Fortune should be on this list just because it has an amazing stiry and a couple of great twists near the end.

MGS3's ending was the best ending in a game I have experienced. uncharted ending is just plain in comparison.

The ending to MGS3 was awesome. Best one out of the series for me.

Agreed. MGS4`s story and gameplay in general wasn`t as good as MGS1 and MGS3, if you ask me (it was better than MGS2 though).

I suspect a lot of those how claim MGS4 is best game they`ve ever played, havn`t even played MGS3, let alone MGS1. I`m not saying it`s impossible to think MGS4 is the best of the bunch if you have played them all though. I`m not saying MGS4 is a bad game either, it just didn`t meet the standards of MGS1 and MGS3 for me.

i thought the ending for mgs4 was brilliant, but i also loved the endings for mgs 3 and 1. See, you can play the older games and still like mgs4's ending

Good choice. Every bit of the story in that game is superbly handled though not just the ending. Most modern games are nowhere near as cinematic as that old 2D Amiga, SNES, Mega drive platformer, what's up with that?

FFX had the best ending imo out of all of the final fantasys, or so i thought until FFX-2 pretty much undid it if you got a perfect game.

you can sit there and say that out of a great game with lots of gameplay, good story for the most part, lots of side missions, that its ending was satisfactory? wow man, low expectations. They could have at least made the final battle hard, even on its hardest the game is a bit too easy.

Fallout 1 and 2 had better endings. You could actually clock the game in completely different ways that had nothing to do with each other. Clocking them one way may take 10 hours and another way 50.

Depending on what you do in Fallout 3 you get different still images at the end. I find that pretty lame.

On another note Star Ocean 2 had some very groundbreaking story elements and endings. If you do things differently you can have a standard party of 3 characters with 2 others never entering your party and only being seen at a glance. The characters affect what happens within the story so you have a multitude of possible party combinations and story scenes.
Imagine if in FFVII having Barret at the start meant you couldn't have Vincent at the end and never see his backstory.

FF8 was crap next to 7.

It wasn't bad... but it wasn't 7. 10... that's a different story.
