What the fuck am I reading. Fan voted and all.

33. Sonic Adventures 2
28. Sonic the Hedgehog

For real...?

 

[Ushojax]

 

[SxP]

I played BLOPS and I had to read the article to remember what happened. That's how memorable it was to me.

 

[Thoraxes]

I can't stop laughing. Like, there are tears streaming down my face from all this laughter.

 

[soultron]

Quick, someone post a .gif of either Sulu or Michael Jordan laughing!!

 

[Risk Breaker]

Maximum trolling :|

 

[brandonh83]

I can't stop laughing. Like, there are tears streaming down my face from all this laughter.

Here this will make you stop:

33. Sonic Adventures 2
32. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

 

[szaromir]

Most of these games have really bad endings. It seems they randomly chose AAA games and put them in a random order.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

2 GTA games on list. They polled habitual liars, confirmed. Nobody has ever finished a GTA game.

 

[Saty]

Fan vote? Heh.

 

[1138]

44. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

The list itself is not that bad when you don't consider the order of the games, but SW:FU2 don't belong anywhere on a top 50 list of any kind. It is by far the most lazy, uneventful, disappointing excuse of a game I have played this generation. Everything about the game screams cash in.

 

[Kimaka]

...
30. Mass Effect
29. Super Mario Galaxy
28. Sonic the Hedgehog
27. Metal Gear Solid
26. Assassin's Creed II
...

What the hell? This better be the 1991 version.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I lol'd, and then I gagged a little. Some of these games barely even have stories.

Spoiler

14,000 fans can't be wrong! :lol

A list like this can't be a simple popularity contest.

Most of these games have really bad endings. It seems they randomly chose AAA games and put them in a random order.

More or less this.

 

[-WindYoshi-]

For real...?

I agree that those shouldn't be on the list, but I would say the whole ending sequence of Sonic 2 should be on a best endings list because of how much a sense of joy, accomplishment and closing is gained from it.

 

[PokéKong]

Remember when Guinness only dealt in records which used actual solid measurements? Remember how the Guinness Book of World Records was invented in the first place as a way to settle arguments, not start them?

Didn't anyone bring this up when they started making up their own opinion-based "records"?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

At least Reaches ending was an interesting use of the medium. I don't even remember the ending to BLOPS.

The only two endings of recent games that I thought were fantastic was Red Dead and Portal 2.

 

[Derrick01]

What sane person would think ME2's ending is better than ME1's?

I mean thoughts on the 2 games aside and put the rpg debate aside, but I didn't think anyone out there legitimately thought ME2 had a better ending.

That's not even looking at the rest of the list either. Black Ops? Jesus christ :lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

Awesome list. I agree with all the ones I played.

 

[Big Icarus]

Guinness presents:
A list of games in no particular order accompanied with some numbers in numerical order.

Please visit our web page to see these things.

 

[krae_man]

The Gamers Edition of Guinness World Records has been a complete joke from the very beginning. Insecure game companies purchase records for marketing purposes.

 

[Azure J]

I looked through that list twice and there is no mention of Super Mario 64 or Mario Kart 64 anywhere. ?kcuf eht tahW

I don't care about rankings on a list with BLOPS at the top, but damn, not even a passing mention?

 

[54-46!]

 

[Lissar]

*stares at list*


... I think I'm too tired to fully comprehend this list. I'll come back later.

 

[Cipherr]

Not any more. God damn.

24. Shadow of the Colossus
23. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

...god damn.

Wow..... Wow.... everyone needs to look at that. Seriously.

 

[ScOULaris]

Early contender for worst list of the year?

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

This would certainly explain a lot. How the hell is RE4 on this list? Love that game, but that ending was super lame. Also, what the hell at entries number 1 and 2?

 

[MikeE21286]

That .gif is hilarious.

At work it runs in suuper slow-mo because of our shit browser/security. I was laughing my ass off :lol

 

[Rapstah]

What sane person would think ME2's ending is better than ME1's?

I mean thoughts on the 2 games aside and put the rpg debate aside, but I didn't think anyone out there legitimately thought ME2 had a better ending.

They don't even compare! ME1's ending was written without any real signs pointing at a next part: the series could have ended right there. ME2's points straight at ME3. There's no objective way ME2's ending could be better. Dumbass voters.

 

[Kiiji]

12. Pokemon Black and White

I'd love to hear the explanation for this one.

 

[Syph Medwes]

So this is a joke thread right?
There's no other explanation...

 

[survivor]

I'd love to hear the explanation for this one.

Probably cause they thought the shit that happened at the Elite Four was cool.

Or it's just the newest Pokemon game.

 

[VeryGooster]

Same response I gave to a GamesRadar editor who tweeted it:

 

[Kyaw]

 

[Thoraxes]

Here this will make you stop:

33. Sonic Adventures 2
32. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Alright, now they're tears of depression.

*Raises hand* Guilty.

 

[kinoki]

There are a few good endings in video game history:

• Ico
• Shadow of the Colossus
• BioShock
• Mass Effect
• Silent Hill 2
• Red Dead Redemption
• Dragon Age: Origins

The list can go on to include a few more. But the games they've listed... it's just pure garbage in most cases.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops

Oh.

 

[[Clark Gable]]

Yeah, NO.

 

[spirity]

So bad, and yet so bad.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

 

[krae_man]

How else do you explain Sony having the "World Records" for "Longest marathon playing LittleBigPlanet 2", "Most video game genres played in one video game in 24 hours",
and "Most user-generated video game levels played in 24 hours"?

 

[Fantasy Final]

The COD Black Ops was so amazing that I can't even remember it.

 

[BigWeather]

Needs Ultima IV. All the assembling of the virtuous team, descending into the Abyss and an epic number of fights in custom rooms. And LB asking us to write him telling of our feat!

 

[ScOULaris]

I think you and I just became Internet friends.

 

[iKeepPlaying]

Where the fuck is Chrono Cross!!!!? akjhgrjarlgjarbgjkbra!!!

 

[gurasa]

Voted by "online fans".

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Sonic the Hedgehog? C'mon, I love the game, and it's arguably one of the best platformers ever, but the ending is completely throwaway like endings for old platformers tended to be.

 

[Wilsongt]

No Final Fantasy X? Shit list.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

If these were "Best Videogame Endings Without a Particular Order" it wouldn't be half bad. They got many god pick there, they have to fix the order.
Edit: Ok I was wrong, checked the list again and realized it was awful.
