Most satisfying Ending ever?

Final Fantasy 7. It was a good ending, plus the cgi sequence with Red 13 and his pups was cool, letting you know that life goes on (and eventually leads to exploiting the FF7 franchise)

Red Dead Redemption. Title card. 'Nuff said.

Red Dead Redemption ending totally surprised me, I finished it before hearing everyone talk about how awesome it was a total "Fuck Ya" moment.

I really liked the hitman bloody money ending, for a game with that little story it was nuts good.

I liked Mark of the Ninja's ending, even if it came completely out of left field.

Also Rule of Rose. The last third of the game was kind of sequence-breaky considering the chapters leading up to it, but it tied off its ends nicely and let you kind of write your own ending with what was left. If only the gameplay wasn't so horried.

Also Red Dead.

Double Dragon Neon. Simple for the amount of effort put into the credits roll and the badass kick.

Ryu's ending on Street Fighter 2 for the SNES. Waterfall shoryuken is EPIC!!!

p.s.: this is 100% serious and i'm not joking.

KOTOR and Red Dead are standouts to me. I'm sure there are others from the vast amount of games I've played, but those are the 2 in recent memory that spring to mind.

Vagrant Story probably has the best ending, in addition to having the best credits music and the best final boss fight. Of course there's a solid argument to be made that Delita's storyline ending is more impressive in Final Fantasy Tactics but that kind of ignores how irrelevant the protagonist turns out to be.

Irrelevant? Ramza and his crew end up saving the world while Delita is off playing politics. Had he not been around, the Lucavi would have succeeded and Ajora would have returned.

But yeah, I definitely agree that FFT does have a very satisfying conclusion to an excellent game.

Mgs3. Snake gets laid!

Probably Bayonetta because it has like 5 endings and they're all crazy and amazing.

YA THEY ARE.

That game... what a game.

Yeah while Ramza's dead in a hole Delita's the King. Good on Ramza for being such an easily manipulated dumbass. Ah such a great character, it's almost worth having a worthless protagonist since it makes Delita even more awesome (note I find the actual main group's ending to be underwhelming at best, also the game's way too easy after Velius which kind of deadens the tension and any threat presented by the Lucavi is rendered trivial).

The Walking Dead. The ending in Ep. 5 was perfectly executed in terms of closing the book on the season while teasing the 2nd.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon.

Push X to fistpump.

The Silver :)

Every Mario platformer game ever. You always know how it ends before it starts. Can't get more satisfying than that.

Spec Ops - The Line

Just a perfect ending for a messed up (in a good way) game

Ghostbusters for the NES...

but really it's Super Mario Land because of the awesome music

If I had to pick just one, Darksiders is the first that comes to mind.

You battle a Dragon atop an angelic tower, crush the head of your irritating 'sidekick' and deliver the most hype line in videogamedom, while the camera pans to the other horsemen tearing-ass through the sky.

Awesome.

@GetEveryone: And then Darksiders 2...

But yeah, that ending was incredible indeed.

I actually enjoyed Darksiders 2 quite a lot. As the final act built more on what made the original so great, I thought we were in for a monster of an ending.

I was wrong.
