Mass Effect 1 and 2, Spec Ops, Max Payne 2.
This thread made me remember how much I love Spec Ops, best game of the 7th gen, reconfirmed, for me.

Spec Ops: The Line
MGS3
Red Dead Redemption
The Walking Dead (S1)
Halo: Reach (The mission "Lone Wolf" was actual phenomenal in terms of capturing the tone of the game).

I think The Talos Principal is just satisfying throughout, top to bottom, from wrapper to core to flavour.
Game of the generation for me so far.

Tlou was pretty top notch although I have a thing for bummer endings in general
P4g was fantastic it made you look back at the time spent in a meaningful and tangible way.
Mgs 3 and 4 each for their own reasons.
Silent hill 2 is kinda no duh to me.
I fully agree with bioshock infinite having a great ending while it kinda cheaps out by not being super obvious it is made better as a result. In conjunction the burial at sea ending was great with real feeling at the end on part 2 and really gave a sense of Elizabeth as a character kinda makes me wish they had done a full game with her and really broadened her growth as a character.

WAT? The first Danganronpa has a decent ending, but Danganronpa 2? That ending was absolute garbage.

That ending gave me chills and I still think about it to this day. Easily my favorite. It's a shame we won't get another entry in the series in the same vain.
Weirdly, and I really didn't expect this, but Wolfenstein: The New Order had me legitimately tearing up during the final cutscene. It was a game that was alternately sappy, grim, and silly as shit, but the ending felt like such a perfect bow on both the characters and the plot that I was completely satisfied.
Portal was the most unexpected for me. Some small little puzzle game turns into some crazy story events at the end. Plus the cake song credits blew my freaking mind.
Bioshock Infinite blew me away the most I think. The whole last few hours were incredible.
MGS3 is the most memorable and made me the most emotional by far. In fact I don't think any game has made me emotional besides it.
Shadow of The Colossus really stuck with me as well.

Some games I remember with really good ending are
Journey
Dark Souls had an impact one
Dragon's Dogma
Pokemon Black or White <- my favorite story from the series and the ending was one surprise after another
Xenoblade Chronicles
New Super Mario Brothers Wii
Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head that I remember fondly.

The Witcher 1 also has a great ending.
And Monkey Island 2, but you may love it or hate it.

Catherine had great endings depending on how you played it. Some touching, some depressing, and some like this one that were... Interesting.

I remember just reflecting on the ending to Planescape:Torment after beating it. That shit was masterful, had me thinking about it for weeks. Easily the most well written game I've ever played, and that just elevates the overall package to the next level. Incredible game.

The "True" ending for Undertale was pretty great.

Gears of War 3 still stands out as the most "satisfied" I've been with an ending in a game. Everything wrapped up with no loose ends.

1 is underwhelming, but 2's is great. Crazy bittersweet that really makes you question your own views on
forgiveness and atoning

You thought it was well done? Yikes. On paper it would sound decent, but the execution was terrible.

Indiana Jones and the Fate Of Atlantis:
To date still one of my favourite games.
Yo this is some old-school shit.
Also I agree.
I'm still sad that the next game they promised in the credits never materialized.
Indeed. There never was an ending that made me this happy. So very well done.

Both ends of The Swapper left me speechless.
Arkham Knight has an incredible conclusion but the epilogue is by the books.

Wait what? I don't remember anything like that happening. The endings I remember are
Thorton driving a boat away, with the girl, and driving into the sunset. I can't say I have ever seen news report or updates on any of the characters.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The definitive answer for the OP's question.
No game can come close, let alone beat, the execution of MGS3's ending.

come on guys, Red Dead Redemption!
finding and murdering that asshole government agent was so satisfying

Yep, when it ended, first thing came to mind was "So THAT'S why he went evil .. that totally makes sense" but that feeling has just became more ambiguous with each passing game.
