I just got done beating Mars Matrix (had to unlock free play first) and this game had some shitty ass text only ending! This got me thinking as to what is the worst video game ending ever. The most amount of time i've spent to receive the worst ending has got to be Rampage. I used to own the arcade machine and it has 796 levels (days) or something like that. The machine has a pause feature and it took me a fucking week to beat it. The only thing I got was a congratulations banner and that was it! I promptly sold the damn thing after that!

What is the worst video game ending that you have ever witnessed?

I remember playing rampage on the NES and getting the same ending. I hated the game ever since.
For Neo though the worst endings are
KOF 94-2000 All Girl Team endings-lame
KOF 99 Psycho Soldiers (Kensou finishing Krizalid off)-Damn rock didn't do its job
Blazing Star-As much as I love the game, there's only a text message, at least the baby screaming was cool
Metal Slug X and KOF'98-I need more than an art gallery
WH2J-Ho Hum, Zeus is swearing vengeance, Ho-Fucking-Hum
Crossed Swords-Hard as that game was, The ending pissed me off

STRIKER 1945 Plus. After stage 8, the game gives you some scores, and then you start on stage 1 again.

Strikers 1945 Plus is pretty lame, Prehistoric Isle 2 is worse, game just ends, no resolution, no nothing...

Mario RPG. After playing for so long, all you get is a parade of characters. No epilogue. Forgivable for any other type of game, but and RPG should have a really good, long ending.

Jurassic Park for the Super Nintendo. The game requires a minimum of six hours of continuous play (no save, password or battery backup feature) with numerous repetitive searching. Your reward is a simple graphic thanking you for playing the game and wasting six hours of your precious 16-year-old life.

Sincerely,

Mikhail

Marvel vs Capcom 2

Any old SF and MK game that's being finished with less than default difficulty(I remember the machine telling me try harder level)

Dead or Alive.

The game has no endings for the characters, I think? Only an "ending winpose".

Unless, I missed something when I was playing it.

Text endings are good if they're well written. You don't need flashy graphics and animation to leave the player satisfied that they beat the game.

The only good text ending I ever had was playing the Marathon series for the Macintosh by Bungie Software. Yes, these folks didn't only make games like Myth and Oni, folks. There came a time when they developed high quality games for the Macintosh platform which had very in-depth storylines. They didn't need FMVs or animation or anything to prove it either.
