10 Brilliant Video Games With TERRIBLE Endings

Nothing makes a game's ending worse than the assumption that you're going to get a sequel, and then molding your game's ending accordingly. In general, you should never do this, as even the most sure of sure things may not catch on depending on certain factors out of your control (just look up Osamu Tezuka's Steam Boy for proof of that).

Platinum Games' Vanquish is easily one of the most viscerally fun games ever made by a game company that specializes in viscerally fun games. Fast, action packed, with awesome mechanics like speeding up or slowing down time, and satisfying shooting. While the story is never the main reason that you play a Platinum game, the ending is still the ending, so you should at least try to make it a good one. That is NOT what happened here. At all.

Besides the many, MANY plot threads left hanging in the air by the end, the ending just feels a bit empty compared to the rest of the game. Not only does the main villain escape, the hero, Sam Gideon, is left adrift in space. With naught but the game's horrible voice acting to keep him company. Ad unlike Halo 2, there's no next game coming to answer those lingering questions.
