10 Final Levels That Almost Ruined Incredible Video Games
5. Fable III

Queue a final battle that plays out like any other combat scenario in Fable III's entirety and results in one of the most anticlimactic endings of any video game ever. If you thought Fable II's infamously criticised ending was bad, III's conclusion trumps its dullness by a country mile. How it should have ended: Instead of the anti-climactic fight the hero has with a simple, recoloured basic enemy, Fable III should have ended on a high by culminating in a grandiose final battle to satiate the detractors of Fable II's disappointing ending.
