What game has the most anticlimactic ending? (alien.top)

Have you ever played a game that was absolutely phenomenal, but when you reached the ending, an extremely disappointing scene played out?

Dark Souls 1 definitely did that for me. Really not a big fan of both endings.

Borderlands 1. The last vault with the treasure that turns out to be a bullet sponge creature who kills your nemesis to that point then credits. Tf. I remember I stood behind a rock/Pilar would pop out to shoot as it attempted to throw things at me.

Steele wasn't even a very good nemesis, she just popped in after you arrived at New Haven.

Steele was never meant as the BBEG imo.

Borderlands 1 has a plot, it's just... Not really there. You're just wandering guns, looking to solve problems and find loot.

I mean the borderlands franchise can be summed up with “use gun to shoot problem to get more gun”

[–] Wasphammer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, but future entries have a stronger plot than the first one.

You know, I'd pay good money for a remaster of the first Borderlands in the engine of 3 or Wonderlands.

I would say every borderlands game.

The core concept is that you are vault hunters. Why? Because when you actually open these vaults there are a few very ordinary guns.

Eh, BL2 isn't really about being a Vault Hunter, it's about Handsome Jack's oppression of Pandora. And in that regard the ending is satisfying as you beat him.

Bl2 is the only good BL game

[–] kingeryck@alien.top 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

TPS and BL3 have better gameplay, but lousier stories. I think they're good too. Wonderlands, however, was crap.

3 made me irrationally angry. I haven't played wonderland because of how angry the plot points in 3 made me

[–] mevomevo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I hated 3 too but Wonderlands is great
