10 Video Games That Roasted Themselves
1. Tentacles & Disappointment - Borderlands 2
As much as the original Borderlands was near-universally praised for its stunning visuals, tight FPS gameplay, and thoroughly self-aware tone, many fans were bitterly disappointed by the game's ending.
The frustration was two-fold: first off, the final boss is The Warrior, a generic, giant bullet sponge of a tentacled monster, and secondly, the game ends incredibly abruptly thereafter, with The Vault being re-sealed for 200 years without players ever finding out what was in it.
