10 Brilliant Video Games With TERRIBLE Endings

10. Batman Arkham Asylum

Putting this at the bottom of the list, because it's more of an example of a bad final boss as opposed to a bad overall ending. But make no mistake, this was one disappointing end to an otherwise landmark title.

Granted, we're not sure how you could've done this right - seeing as how Batman: Arkham City proved that when the Joker and Batman go head to head, the Joker kinda has the cards stacked against him when it comes to actual fisticuffs. So if the Joker wanted a proper boss fight, he'd have to do something to tip the scales in his favor.

Which, according to Rocksteady Studios, means turning himself into a big lumbering monster with Freddy Kruger claws and a stupid ass mohawk.

The boss fight with him isn't even all that bad, it's just so underwhelming, especially compared to the awesomeness that had come before in the other 99% of this game. You just punchy him a bunch, then fight goons, then yank the Joker down with your grappling hook. Rinse and repeat for about three times until he stays down.
