Games with terrible endings
Narr:
Anyone ever play the PC Shooter "Red Faction"?
You run around trying to free the slave workers or whatever for the longest time and then "Hey, we're done. Time to return to earth now." He kind of flirts with the lady that's been helping him, but just slightly. Very disappointing ending.
And as for the comment on how video games aren't books and movies: True, but I think they are as legitimate an art as either of those two mediums. It's vastly different because of the hands-on approach to the people enjoying them, but that doesn't mean they are inherently faulty. I recognize it's a business, much like producing movies and publishing books are. One of my goals in life is to try and get video games recognized as a legitimate art.
Pretty grandiose goal, but what can I say? It's one of my passions.
SilentJ:
Did Crackdown come out for the PS2, or is it just 360, PS3, and possibly Wii?
Also, Lord of the Rings: The Third Age's ending was very disappointing, in that they just used to movie clip from towards the end of Return of the King (Barad-dur falling down and Sauron exploding). I was expecting something a little more kick-ass from such a great game.
Storm Rider:
It's published by Microsoft, so it is 360 and that is all.

Dreamfall, I think, was one game that probably had both qualities. Final Fantasy VII's story can suck it, Dreamfall's was way better. The only thing I didn't like was the soft rock song/speedboat scene. To be fair, you probably would have to play The Longest Journey (prequel) first to understand the story a little better, but that one also probably had both qualities, however more on the book side. And I just found out today that they're doing the seque in episodes/accumulated package as well as 'possibly' doing an MMO set in the game world of the trilogy.

i played the sequel...which was underwhelming. i never finished it though, because i realized that i could be playing better games. though it was ambitious with the whole being able to blow up walls and stuff. the technology didn't allow them to use that concept to it's full potential sadly. :\
