Childhood Cartoons You Didn't Know Were Canadian
15. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Instead of an intense battle, the final fight in Shadow of Mordor is just a common quick-time event, and Sauron isn’t even the toughest boss. The game ends suddenly after a brief cutscene, turning what should have been an unforgettable finale into a rushed conclusion that made players angry. | © Behaviour Interactive
14. Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 ends with nuclear explosions that wipe out everything you've fought for. Whether you resist or walk away, the outcome is the same – the destruction of all hard-fought for victories and sacrifices. | © Ubisoft
13. Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia is a visually stunning game whose ending undoes everything players worked for. The princess dies, and to save her, you're forced to undo all your efforts, releasing the corruption once again. | © Ubisoft
12. Borderlands
After battling across Pandora, you reach the Vault only to find the giant monster, and no riches and rewards. It might be a clever nod to Pandora's box, but for players expecting loot and laughs, it was a huge disappointment to be rewarded with nothing more than a thank you. | © Gearbox Software
11. Alan Wake
After an intense battle against the darkness, Alan Wake ends on a bleak note. Just as Alice escapes the nightmare, Alan finds himself trapped in the depths of Cauldron Lake, with no way to escape. | © Remedy Entertainment
10. Assassin's Creed 3
The bad ending of Assassin's Creed 3 shattered the entire modern-day storyline of the series. Killing off the most crucial character, Desmond, who was supposed to become the foundation of the series, was a frustrating turn for the whole present-day story. | © Ubisoft
9. Undertale
If you choose the no-mercy route in Undertale, you'll be on the haunting path with irreversible consequences. Even if you replay to earn the good ending, the game remembers – photos with every face but yours crossed out serve as chilling reminders of the darkness you once embraced. | © Toby Fox
8. Halo 2
Halo 2 left players hanging – literally. The game abruptly ends with Master Chief’s iconic line "Finishing this fight", cutting off the action right when it should be reaching its peak. This left everyone itching for a conclusion that never came. | © Bungie
7. Persona 3 Reload
Persona 3 Reload stays true to the classic roots, which means the bad ending is here. If you decide to kill a key figure tied to Nyx, your party loses their memories and lives out their days in blissful ignorance, unaware of the impending doom. | © Atlus
6. Fallout 3
Fallout 3 was one of the best post-apocalyptic adventures, but its ending? It was a very annoying misstep. After such an epic journey, being locked out of the world just feels like an unfair ending to an otherwise amazing experience. | © Bethesda Softworks
5. No Man’s Sky
After countless hours of exploration and discovery, you reach the center of the universe just to be sent back to the start. It leaves you questioning everything, which isn’t exactly the payoff most players were looking for. Despite that, the journey itself can still be enjoyable. | © Hello Games
4. Dr. Mario
Dr. Mario may not have a traditional storyline, but its ending is still frustrating. As you near the final levels, clearing those relentless viruses becomes nearly impossible, which makes you question if it's worth the grind. | © Nintendo
3. Far Cry 2
After all the brutal firefights and fighting against malaria, you reach the end, only to realize you don’t get to take down The Jackal. No anticipated showdown, no redemption – just the certainty every hard-earned step was meaningless. | © Ubisoft
2. Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3's ending was the ultimate betrayal. Promised something meaningful, we got three dreaded endings, and the final level was a tedious corridor crawl. The extended cut tried to smooth things over, but the disappointment was already in. | © BioWare
1. Dark Souls
You fight tooth and nail through the challenging world only to face a final boss that's disappointingly easy. And no matter what choice you make – light the flame or let the darkness take over – it’s all for nothing. | © FromSoftware
