So recently a friend of mine beat Bulletstorm and thought it was a blast to play, he then asked me when the sequel was coming out because of the ridiculous cliffhanger it had. I had the honor of telling him there wasn't going to be one.

This had me thinking if there were other games that were very clearly meant to continue but for some reason or another didn't happen, so Gaf what's the worst blue balls a game has given you in terms of one ending on a cliffy that will never get resolved?

Spoiler

If you say Half Life 2 you're a LOSER!

 

[TheKastorian]

Shenmue?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Alan Wake 2 probably won't end up happening

 

[BY2K]

I mean... there's a chance, but it's very slim right now.

Such a badass ending.

EDIT: It's Darksiders, damn it!

 

[desmax]

Half-Life 2

Spoiler

ayy lmao

 

[thekonamicode]

Shenmue?

They actually did make a sequel to Shenmue.

 

[JNT]

Rage, I think.

I liked the game, but it just kinda ended without any warning. Likelihood of a sequel is minimal.

 

[GitarooMan]

Advent Rising had a really interesting cliffhanger.

 

[Caffeine]

cod ghosts im hoping a sequel never happens

 

[barneystuta83]

Shenmue?

Winner.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

I'd rather have had Bulletstorm 2 over Gears of War: JudgEment!

 

[One-Shot]

I mean... there's a chance, but it's very slim right now.

Such a badass ending.

Care to share what that's from?

 

[Glass Rebel]

afaik Ubi relinquished the rights

 

[Ishida]

Chrono Cross kind of ends with a cliffhanger

Spoiler

(Though no apparent threats remain, it is implied that Schala is still alive and traveling through many timelines, including our own, to look for Serge). Schala became a time/dimensional wanderer.

Highly doubt we will ever see a new Chrono game.


EDIT: Also Mega Man Legends 3 and Breath of Fire IV.

 

[Com_Raven]

Too Human comes to mind. It seemed like the story was only kicking off when the first game ended. The downside of planning a trilogy straight out of the gate I guess

 

[Cardon]

Vanquish. Ending has closure, but it did leave a massive tease that eluded to a bigger plot down the road.

 

[chertipros]

Care to share what that's from?

Darksiders

 

[threelights]

Psi-Ops.


I really want a sequel to that game.

 

[RipperGrim]

I mean... there's a chance, but it's very slim right now.

Such a badass ending.

It got me so hyped, I think it's even worse that there was a sequel but it didn't feature all of them and was just a story that happened on the side.

 

[Wrynnax]

Care to share what that's from?

Darksiders

 

[th4tguy]

Care to share what that's from?

Looks like Darksiders.

 

[mrmickfran]

Mega Man Legends 3

 

[Coffee Dog]

Vanquish. Ending has closure, but it did leave a massive tease that eluded to a bigger plot down the road.

There's a difference between cliffhangers and sequel hooks.

 

[SJRB]

Prince of Persia 2008 has a massive cliffhanger.

Granted, it got [partially] addressed with DLC but come on.. I want a fucking sequel, Ubi! DO IIIIT.

 

[Ocaso]

Beyond Good and Evil.

I know a sequel is supposed to be in the works, but how long has it been since it was mentioned?

 

[brandonh83]

Highly doubt we will ever see a new Chrono game.

We obviously don't want one because we didn't buy a billion copies each of Chrono Trigger DS.

 

[Muscle Wizard]

Advent Rising

 

[Wasp]

Beyond Good & Evil

 

[Fitts]

Advent Rising had a really interesting cliffhanger.

This is the one that I was going to say. Wasn't it a planned trilogy?

At any rate, I knew it had a cliffhanger ending but I never actually beat it. My roommate and I had a blast laughing at its incredible glitching until we attempted to speak to an NPC and it randomly ran off into the sunset. We thought that was a fitting end to our time with Advent Rising so we left it at that.

 

[Bessy67]

D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. Really wish it had sold better so there would be a chance for more.

 

[Miker]

Conduit 2. It's a damn shame.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Alan Wake 2 probably won't end up happening

Spoiler

Alan escaped the darkness and reunites with his wife as of American Nightmare.

There's a bunch of side plots they didn't resolve, though.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Virtues Last Reward. Probably.

 

[the_sun_king]

Prince of Persia 2008 has a massive cliffhanger.

Came to say this.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn spends basically the entire game hyping up a sequel that looks like it is never going to happen.

 

[Lijik]

The Conduit 2

 

[jesu]

Another vote for Rage.
Even if they ever finish Doom I can't see Rage getting a sequel.

 

[RipperGrim]

Beyond Good and Evil.

I know a sequel is supposed to be in the works, but how long has it been since it was mentioned?

I find it funny that this isn't really even asked anymore because of what Ubisoft has become nowadays, I remember this being in the same league as Half life 3 and Last Guardian.

 

[Revolutionary]

MML2

I bought a 3DS for the conclusion.
Fuck me, right?

 

[Bedameister]

Half-Life 2

It hurts so much ;(

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Too Human.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Vanquish.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Final Fantasy 8.

 

[NotLiquid]

The Bionic Commando sequel in 2009 introduced a character whose motivations was never elaborated upon in the main game but was the basis for a post-credits sequel tease that hinted at the resurrection of The Albatross.

Then the sequel bombed, Grin went defunct etc.

And I really liked that game too. All it's flaws were things that could have been easily addressed in the sequel but they never got the chance. Sigh.

 

[paragonpro]

I'm still very salty about megaman legends 3, it would be fine if we never got the glimmer of hope, but the fact that it was canned and then blamed on the fans really stings;

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Prince of Persia 2008 has a massive cliffhanger.

Granted, it got [partially] addressed with DLC but come on.. I want a fucking sequel, Ubi! DO IIIIT.

This. DLC had an even bigger cliffhanger really. It's a shame we'll never get to explore more of that world.

 

[Astral]

Viewtiful Joe. The next setting looked so good too.

 

[Sayers]

Sly Cooper Thieves in Time

Prince of Persia 2008

 

[BriGuy]

Beyond Good and Evil.

I know a sequel is supposed to be in the works, but how long has it been since it was mentioned?

Should have been the first post. A sequel to this game would would be DoA even if it did come to pass. No one remembers or cares at this point.

 

[EloKa]

afaik Ubi relinquished the rights

still waiting for XIII-2 (the real 13-2)
