I think there was a submarine, or maybe some underwater sea base in Cuba? I dunno, it was kind of lame and not at all memorable.

Is that so?

My podcast co-host told me it dealt with the assassination of JFK
And some Fight Club-esque mental break with your main character.

That happened before the ending, im talking about the last mission. I dont remember anything about JFK, but I think Castro was there doing stuff.

edit:
Nvm, I remember the JFK thing now. It was still rather meh to me, maybe cause im not american and patriotic or something?

Who is JFK?

Games I've played:

50. Resident Evil 4

Err... Really? It was Ok I guess.

42. Super Metroid

Nothing spectacular, but I did have a twinge of love when baby metroid came to the rescue.

41. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Definitely Meh. Totally predictable ending to a totally shitty game.

36. Gears of War 2

Cliffhanger!!! Well it was alright I guess.

35. Bioshock

Bioshock was a good game in general and I enjoyed the ending.

26. Assassin's Creed II

Probably shouldn't be on list, but it was satisfying.

24. Shadow of the Colossus

This should have been much higher on the list. Much higher.

17. Portal 2

Erm No.

16. Assassins Creed: Brotherhood

Just your typical cliffhanger. The ending to this game wasn't resolved in the next game either.

12. Pokemon Black and White

Same ending as every pokemans game basically with a slight twist on the way the elite 4 stuff worked out. EITHER WAY... You beat the elite 4, save the day, catch a legendary pogeymans, and then you are the hero. Red and Blue had a better ending for fucks sake.

11. Super Mario Bros

Hmm... Classic I guess.

10. Heavy Rain

This game has like 10 endings. I guess the best ending is pretty good though.

9. Final Fantasy VII

Err... Uhm... There were better final fantasy endings to be honest. VI and VIII in particular.

8. Metal Gear Solid 4

For fans of the series apparently this was the most satisfying ending of a video game ever. The 3 hour long movie that was the end of the game apparently answered everything.

7. Portal

I disagree with Angrist here. The whole ending mission was epic, and then the best credits song ever made it even better.

6. Red Dead Redemption

One of the best on this list actually.

4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

The only one I played, and I don't remember much more than crawling to stab some guy. Something like that. Maybe that wasn't even the end.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Err... LttP had a better ending.

[Vampyr]

I actually can't think of any video games that had truly great endings. Video games, more than any other medium, are more about the journey than the end.

[KillerGremlin]

I'd have to agree with Vamp. For me, the memories are rarely the game's ending. The memories I have are me holding my breath, or clenching a sweaty controller, amazed that I just defeated a final boss. Especially in a lot of the old 2D platformers and Mario and Sonic games.
