Ideally, when you play a fantastic game, you want it to of course reach a satisfactory conclusion. You want characters to get to the ends of their bows and large plotlines to end in an exciting way. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Even the best games may not always have a good end.
Annoying can an uninspired finish get the whole experience because it is the last thing you remember from the game after completing it. Here are some examples of games released by bad conclusions.
Father Cry 5
In Far Cry 5 you try to bring down a dangerous cult. To do this, you eliminate most of its main members and leave only the leader, Joseph Seed. When you defeat him in the battle, you arrest the villain and try to remove him. But bombs then start to go, as Joseph predicted that they would do it, when a new world war begins. Your allies die, and Joseph pulls you to a bunker.
So it's a game where you lose. Although this type of conclusion can work, it makes everything feel like a waste of time in Far Cry 5. After all, there is not much character development or personal sub -plans in the story, so the only thing you really do is bring down the culture. Still, the leader remains alive when the credits roll.
Army of Two: The 40th Day
Army of Two: The 40th Day is an underestimated co-op game that follows a couple of soldiers named Salem and Rios. Together, they must try to stop a terrorist attack that takes place in Shanghai. At the end of the game, they can hear the leader of the terrorists, Jonah Wade. He has a detonator in his hand and says that if they shoot him it will go off and kill seven million people. He claims he will disable it if one of the protagonists shoots the other.
Therefore, you have a choice of finish, but none of them are good. The bomb turns out to be a dud, but you only discover it after you have made the choice. So you kill either the main villain and think you will make millions of people or shoot your own partner for no reason. It all feels compelled.
Ghosts' n goblins
The story of Ghosts' n Goblins is not too complex. You control a knight who must defeat all kinds of different monsters to save a princess. This means going up to her kidnapper, Astaroth, who is the king of the demon world.
When you beat him, a screen comes up and tells us that what happened is just an illusion, and you have to play the whole game on a higher difficulty getting the “real” end. So it is basically the game that says you have wasted your time playing it.
Halo 2
Halo 2 is an exceptional FPS title, but it contains a notorious poor end. During the game, the earth's forces fight against the evil covenant. The leading fee for the honored side is Master Chief, and he has helped by Arbiter. The key to stopping the convenience is to eliminate its leaders, which is a group of prophets.
At the end of the game, the truth prophet is the last left, and he takes to earth to cause serious injuries. However, do not worry, as Master Chief is on the tail and informs Admiral Hood that he “concludes this struggle.” Still, he does not end the fight because the game ends after he says it and leaves the game on a difficult and unsatisfactory cliffhanger.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is located in a futuristic world where some people have stylish reinforcements in their bodies. Not everyone has these reinforcements, and there is a little gap between the two groups. This is mainly affected by Illuminati, which acts as the stories.
You are involved in their attempt to approve the Human Restoration Act, which is a bill that would officially separate strengthened people. You can disturb their plan, but then the game just ends. It feels more like the end of the first act, as there are many plot lines that have not yet ended. For example, you still don't really know who Illuminati is, and you haven't stopped their plans. Everything just feels unfinished, and the conclusion is sudden.
Borderland
In Borderlands you play as a group of arches. So, of course, the game is about finding and opening a special arches. The whole game is based on this, when you start to think about what countless wealth will be in the said vault.
At the end of the game, when opened, a gigantic monster walks out and starts killing people. This results in a rather generic boss struggle without much meaning behind it. As a result, it feels like an unpleasant conclusion for the story.
Assassin's Creed 3
Assassin's Creed 3 is a game that contains both an earlier and today's story. The day One Stars Desmond Miles, which uses a machine called Animus to revive memories from his ancestor from the 18th century. When he is not in the machine, he tries to activate the temple in which he and his allies are in.
Once he does, he can enter the inner chambers of the temple, where he meets a god -like figure called Juno. She reveals that Desmond can sacrifice herself to save the world from a future disaster. Still, a creature called Minerva is also displayed and warns Desmond that if he does he will release the very dangerous Juno. It feels like it builds up for a choice you have to make. However, this is not the case, since Desmond simply chooses to sacrifice himself. The whole situation is a bit contradictory and does not have the emotional impact it should.
Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3 acts as a culmination of a story that began in the original Mass Effect title. The story is about the synthetic creatures called reapers that attack Milky Way Galaxy. During the course of the game, you need to find out how to stop them. Along the way you make all possible decisions about different breeds and characters.
But none of that means a lot in the last moments. After all, when you are able to handle the harvests, you get some choices: destroy them, check them, merge all synthetic and organic DNA or refuse to do something. There is not much variation in the end except that refusal. And it's hard not to have at least three of them unlocked. So your decisions in the Mass Effect games have hardly any impact on how this trilogy ends, which is a great shame given that it is meant to be games where choices are important.
