Games that don't actually end the story to leave it open for sequels, now that's annoying.

Definitely KotoR 2; it's a great game, but the end and various unresolved subplots seem extraordinarily unfinished. It's a real shame. Also, Fahrenheit was fantastic for much of the game, but when you get to the end things get a touch too unbelievable and take some of the fun out of it; that said, it's still great.

I would add EaW ... all that bother of conquering the galaxy in, what I admit is, a great game, only to have a ten-second animation ... and then, the end.

The kotor2 ending was terrible.
The MOO3 ending was worse, though. It's bad enough that the game was damn near impossible to beat even on average difficulty, and that it took sooooooooooooooo long to win. But then, when you discover and researcht he last X, what do you get? A movie showing you walking up to the Senate floor and talking, with no sound other than the same damn music you have had to listen to the entire game. The "movie" lasted like 30 seconds. I broke the CD in half afterwards. they could have at least put in some new music. Or words. Or effort. I guess they made the game so hard and complex they didn't have the money to add a little prize at the end. Seriously, it took me like 100 campaign tries to finally win.
And although its not annoying, moreless funny, the last mission on HALO XBOX where you have to get out of the base before it blows up....I played the entire campaign on co-op with my girlfriend at the time. As we are running out, we get in the dune buggy, her driving me on the gun....she flips the jeep, I fall out she stays in and it rolls right side up...she drives off without me and won't come back for me. Pretty funny IMO

Bleh, hated Halo2 so much. I could forgive Halo it's obvious flaws because of the awesome dynamic battles, the second's design felt so forced. Bangee episode, tank episode, flying episode, where did the almost RTS-like quality of the first go? Huge battles on huge plains became a dunguen crawl. One of the most dissapointing sequels ever imvho.Originally Posted by Crazed Rabbit
As for annoying endings, I agree with KOTOR2, the last planet was horrible end the endings didn't make sense. I also didn't like the Silent Hill 2 endings, it's ok if a plot keeps you guessing but at least explain things later, what is the plot anyway? Beats me.. And of course Thief2, way to abrupt, the first had one of the most amazing endings ever so for shame!
Might and Magic 2.
It was a cryptogram. It read "Four Score and seven years ago". That was the last 'battle'.
KOTOR 2, definitely-mostly because I know that it could have been so much better if Obsidian hadn't been forced to hack massive chunks out of it to meet their deadline.

Yeah... but I find the 'hacks' to be worse ingame. All those plots that never happens, yet get started somehow.Originally Posted by Big King Sanctaphrax
The HK factory, the owner of the Ebon Hawk, G0T0 and Remote, Mira and the Exile (lovestory), Remote's owner (can't remember his name as I never found him to be worth much)... and those are just at the top of my mind.
You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
Come to think of it, the endings of KOTOR 1 also sucked (both of them).
One 30 second cutscene, followed by another 30 second cutscene. Then credits.![]()
