This is a list compiled by someone who just got into video games not by someone who has been playing for years and years.

Honestly this list doesn't matter for anything, groups of editors in a room who don't understand video games writing about video games.

How does New Super Mario Bros. Wii qualify as one of the top 50 endings? It was charming, sure, but doesn't belong on that list at all.

To be honest, that just looks like a list of popular games instead of games with great endings.

So it more or less was a popularity contest and had nothing to do with the ending of the game.

This has already been posted about today... XP

That said, I'll say it again; can we just all agree that Guinness Book of World Records is over now? If this is their way of pandering, imagine what they're doing to the poor sods who actually like good old-fashioned hot dog eating records and the like.

'looks around the community' ... Sure. Then the placements would be 
1: Modern Warfare 2 
2: Black Ops 
3: Gears of War 3 
4: Halo: Reach 
5: UNO 
6: Deadly Premonition 
7: Something else that has ICE T in it

In all truth Deadly Prem had a good story. RDR "ending" was not the best part. It was before the "Final" ending.

1) How is being one of the 50 best game endings a "record"?

2) Guinness World Records are a bunch of whores.

3) Remember when you were in grade school and the Guinness Book of World Records was probably the most checked-out book from the school library? Except maybe for those "Scary Stories" books?

4) Bioshock only at 35. Seriously . . . ? That was one of the most "whoa" moments I've ever had in a game.

Yeah, I also fail to see how. It really doesn't seem like World Records work for qualitative things.

Now, if you were to have this list be for "Most Ending in a Video Game," that'd be a much more interesting topic. I can't really think of any other game than Metal Gear Solid 4 that stuck out to me as having an absurdly long ending, because that game goes on for, like, an hour even after you're done with the final boss.

It would also be interesting to see a list of "Most Endings in a Video Game." Though, there is a distinction between "How many times does this game feel like it ends?" and "How many different endings does this game have?"

Any of these would be at least exponentially more interesting than the list that was actually put out.

I'd like to know this too. How can a subjective experience even set a record?
