Fallout 3 voted "38th best game ending of all time&quot

Did Oblivion even have an ending? Shit, I can't remember one at all.

And this reinforces my belief that the real thing killing gaming is this whole campaign to make it mainstream. While I do think games should try to appeal to as many people as they can and that we should avoid hipster shit like Braid or Dear Esther, I don't think it's a good thing making gaming into a bro thing that bros can totally bro it over with bros, bro.
 
Braid is hipster shit? why should a well designed game be avoided? to appeal to some weird sense of "I am cool" people have?
 
I think the ending was where they reveal that your dad had built the water purifier around a 400 year old statue that totally won't crumble and clog the filter he worked so hard on because the symbology protects it
 
The ending was dying, until you got the Broken Steel DLC. So, it was the ending......that wasn't.
 
Broken Steel Ending:

[spoiler:2f3eb59e98]Good Ending: You land in a stolen Vertibird. You get a pat on the back.

Bad Ending: You land in a stolen Vertibird. You got shot at. [/spoiler:2f3eb59e98]

Hmm...Not to involved there. Moving on.
 
Fun fact: 33 of those 50 games came out for this generation of consoles (2007-present day)

Also even if you ignore games with "bad" endings like Oblivion, there is still 2 games with literally no ending at all.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis) and Super Mario Bros (NES) neither of which had any sort of story based ending and just gave you a "you win!" screen. :|
 
That list looks as if someone wanted to troll people! I doubt even the most casual gamers would vote for some of those games, I mean come on, did Oblivion really have an ending?! I seem to have missed it.

*replays oblivion*

[spoiler:b867c0bcba]not really :D [/spoiler:b867c0bcba]
 
I wish I had infinite cash to throw at once-respected institutions to rig the system to boost sales of my product too.

I'd at least make sure they hired someone smart enough to not throw utterly bullshit items in between though. Sonic the hedgehog? Wasn't the ending to that one "Sonic jumps out of a blimp orbiting space. Tales catches him in a plane. Happy midi music plays while they land and high five. The end." Might as well include Super Mario 64 and its "Thank you for playing!!!" cake picture.

Yeah. Sonic had about as much a ending as Super Mario 3. Yay you saved me! The End.

This is a pretty weak list. Obviously the people voted for the games they like most and not the ending they liked most.
