8 Video Games That Ended WAY Too Soon

8. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

It might seem rather funny to put Hideo Kojima anywhere near a list of games that ended too soon seeing as the man eats dictionaries and conspiracy theories for breakfast and vomits out bonkers plots for the rest of the day, yet MGSV truly was a game which felt completely bereft of direction come the closing act.

Throughout this incredibly produced experience we had come to learn the twists and turns of Venom Snake, of soldiers who breathe through their skin, of political strife, and of a world only barely saved from nuclear war multiple times over, and yet just when the pieces were falling in place, the entire game just fell on its arse.

It's clear that the Konami/Kojima fracas was causing some developmental issues as the final hours of the game see you rehash missions from the front end of the title before just clapping its hands together and saying "well done you did it!", much to the bemusement of fans.

Arguably Kojima went hard the other way with Death Stranding and its HOUR AND A HALF Cutscene ending. Not sure which is worse, to be honest.
