8 Video Games That Ended WAY Too Soon
6. Vanquish
It's honestly so difficult not to get swept up in Vanquish's sheer insanity. The entire experience is like a rollercoaster, but in place of the slow machine-assisted pulls to the top of the tallest peaks, the rollercoaster has rockets blasting you over them giving you whiplash and liquifying your insides.
Don't think it would pass a safety inspection if it was real.
And yet despite blasting us through wave after wave of massive mechs and grinding so hard you'd swear you could smell Sam Gideon's buttcheeks being cooked, the ending was less of an emotional high and more a moment that felt like ramming into a brick wall at speed.
After fighting two robotic battle suits, the player rightly thinks that now it's time to take on the big bad of the picture Victor. However, the game abruptly announces that Vic the Dick has blasted off from the space station and is heading back home to Russia claiming that he's done all he needed to.
Oh, OK then? No final battle? No cheesy one-liner after I smash your face in? Just... a cutscene of the President shooting themselves?
Well, at least it was unexpected.
