10 Video Games That Butchered Brilliant Endings
9. For Honor
For Honor hardly had one of the most engaging stories, but the ending was incredibly disappointing. No one was expecting much, but when you can't even fulfil the main premise of your own game, then something has gone desperately wrong.
The whole idea behind For Honor is that Vikings, Knights and Samurai are all fighting each other. The story sets up the rather thin reasoning for the conflict, and the ending seemed to promise one big battle where the three sides clashed. However, instead of fulfilling the hook of the game, the ending played out through a poor cutscene.
The only time during the entire story that you see Knights, Vikings and Samurai all fighting one another is in the final cutscene. And the conflict is resolved seconds later in that very same cutscene.
You should have been in that fight. You should have been carving through soldier after soldier, but, instead, you're a cheerleader sitting on the sidelines.
