I don't like any endings, and I'm disapointed by every one. Ending are supposed to be dramatic. They're supposed to make an impact on you. And personally, i don't find video games that do that.

Look at Shenmue. Brilliant game, in fact, one of the best stories ever. If you don't believe me, pop in Shenmue II disc 4 and watch the digest movie. But it was the game that I was impressed with, the overall developing of the story, not the ending. I mean, it had an amazing story line. But in the end, he went on a ship, whoop de do!

I've yet to find a videogame with a great ending. They all had a great story, and you basically played right through to the end. Then just a little cinema to wrap things up. The endings aren't a big part of the game, and they probably shouldn't be. I'm still waiting for a huge plot twist in the ending, something to really shock me. And I'll keep waiting.

Now, the best ending (even if it wasn't great) was Banjo-Kazooie. When Mumbo shows you pictures on Banjo-Tooie. See, me and my friend finished the game rather quickly. There was no information on this, we thought it was like a second adventure. I guess DKR was fresh on our mind. We searched every single inch of the game, and played through it about 3 times each and came up with nothing. In fact, we even did all the transformations, and explored with those. Nothing, it was showing you a sequel. But damn Rare did good! Some companies struggle to keep you playing their game, Rare sure found a way to kill a few weeks of my time playing BK.
