It all leads to Wang assaulting the dragon again in the finale.
I wanted to like Shadow Warrior 3, even if it failed on its one premise – Zilla and Wang teaming up – to focus more on Hoji. Overall, very anti-climatic and unsatisfying, especially the final fight. Aiden ultimately leaves, presumably to a better ending.
The latter sees X13 destroyed and Mia dead, but Villedor survives, and Hakon may even save Lawan if the right choices were made. The former results in the city being destroyed, so that’s no good. After Waltz is defeated, you can either save Lawan or Mia. X13 is keeping her alive, and stopping the missile strike means shutting down the facility, which can kill her. Aiden enters the lab to stop him and discovers that Mia is Waltz’s daughter and not his sister. The whole climax of Dying Light 2 revolves around the X13 lab and how Waltz, the main villain, will launch missiles on Villedor, The City. Contrast this to how the first game ended and how well each character was written (including Rhys, who’s beyond ruined), and it’s just insulting.
But the best ending, which sees the core cast (and LOU13) survive to form Galactic Healing Incorporated with the help of Rhys, doesn’t feel like a decent pay-off at all. It also has a multitude of endings, each more underwhelming than the last. New Tales from the Borderlands suffers from many problems, like being worse than the first game in almost every way. But it also doesn’t help that there’s story DLC in development, making it feel like you need to pay extra for the “real” ending, if not to see what happens in the sequel. If the characters were better developed over a longer period, this ending wouldn’t have felt as abrupt or unsatisfying (especially with how many questions still lingered). Ferris suddenly does a jumpscare scream, and we cut to black. Of course, that’s not the end, as Dr Caitlyn Mahler suddenly intervenes, revealing that the two can escape if they work together. He does so, but because he effectively played a part in the outbreak on Europa, Jacob decides to remain in the prison while Dani escapes and Black Iron self-destructs. It was absurd to the point of comedy.Īfter Jacob discovers the truth behind the virus, he goes up against the mutated Leon Ferris, now known as Subject Alpha, to synthesize a vaccine for an infected Dani. And he is, but then they bring him back to life with a Lazarus Pit in some brainwashed state, after which he’s beaten back to his senses, and then dies again in a heroic sacrifice. The final boss? Talia al Ghul, because Ra’s is on extended leave in the afterlife, and no other major villains are available.īut the absolute worst is all those months of the developer convincing us that Bruce Wayne is dead and gone. Remember the Court of Owls? Irrelevant to the actual villains, aka the League of Shadows/Assassins/Idiots. Gotham Knights may not rank among the worst DC superhero storylines out there (that honor still goes to Countdown, personally), but its ending is pretty terrible. Let’s look at ten such horrible video game endings in 2022. But then there are some endings which are downright terrible and make you question your time and commitment. Sometimes, it’s about the journey instead of the destination, like how a story can have enjoyable parts even if the ending doesn’t quite succeed.
