Worst end credit music ever?

We've all heard bad pieces of music from a game over the years, but sometimes end credits can deliver quite the 'WTF' moment (E.G. Castlevania SOTN).

What are your weird, worst and wonderful end credit themes from videogames?

Metal Gear Solid 4 had this which was weird at the time but now with that Ground Zeroes trailer it makes perfect sense.

I dunno man that SotN music was preeeettty good.

The end credit music in Mortal Kombat 9 was barely there and evoked absolutely nothing.

That dumb fucking rap song over the Dishonored credits was cringe inducingly shitty

@shortbreadtom: Wow, I don't remember there being a horrible rap song over the credits of dishonored at all, and I beat that game 3 times. Maybe my brain is trying to suppress the memory.

@achaemenid: Maybe I'm misremembering the genre, but I remember hating the song

EDIT: I now remember what I was getting at. There was some trailer in the lead up to release that had a terrible rap song over it, the credits song is just a bad alt rock, emo number

I remember the credits for Knack being the most jaw-droppingly wretched thing I'd seen/heard at that point.

I was going to say the ending song to Mass Effect. I remember hating it, but going back and listening to it? It's not as shit as I remember. in fact, it's pretty great. Anyway, memory is a strange thing is all I'm saying and at one point I did hate this song.

I vote for Rouge Warrior.

Black Ops 2

The ending credits music from MGS2 isn't bad per se, but it's needlessly mournful, it goes on forever and you couldn't skip it. So now I hate it.

@wallofbricks: Black Ops 2 was pretty bad. No guitar straps, either.

@l1ghtn1n: Yeah really that song is the one and only redeeming feature of Rogue Warrior.

@wallofbricks: Woah, that is bad. Really bad.

@jadegl: That track is recognized by many as an awesome credit track :/ Evoked a lot of emotion as I ended this amazing start to an amazing trilogy.
Well atleast you enjoy it now :P

Dishonored was shit

@corruptedevil: I was just thinking of this... It was weird to me, I just thought some of the singing was tonally bad, and I'd feel like I have to turn it down for it. Some of it I like, and some of it I find grating.

The credits song from the first Mafia always stuck out to me as kinda out of place. The whole game tries so hard (and succesful) to convey a believable 1930s atmosphere, and then you get a piece of rap music or whatever genre that is playing over the credits.

@jensonb: Yeah, MGS2's ending song was pretty bland, but really the whole ending of that game is poor, from how they cut all the shots of Arsenal Gear crashing through a bunch of NYC, to how much Solidus was a terrible antagonist who had no presence and was barely explored at all.

@armaan8014: Yeah, looking back I don't know what the fudge I was thinking. But I'm coming clean with you all now. :)

I will say that the end song to Dragon Age: Origins was pretty bad, mainly because I didn't think it fit well with the game, in my opinion. Maybe I was thinking of that? I have no idea.

@ntm: The recording from Ground Zeroes is better in every way

I can only post the best credits song, as I never really pay attention to credits music but these credits made me watch till the end, which is SUPER RARE!!!

That song from the end of Limbo of the Lost maybe? That was still the best part of the entire game though.

That Linkin Park song at the end of Medal of Honor 2010 was really bad too.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon technically had a terrible nu metal song too, but the weird Japaneseness of it all, with lines like "Gotta stay fly, gotta stay strong! Ace ready, all day long" kinda made it adorable instead. Turns out Japan is better at doing Linkin Park than Linkin Park are.

If we are veering into the best ending themes it's a tie between MGS3's Way to Fall by Starsailor and Transistor's Paper Boats.

(I kinda love the MGS series)

@corruptedevil: Yeah. The song itself isn't bad, it was just the woman singing it that didn't sing it well in most spots in my opinion.

The worst end credits are the unskippable ones that go on FOREVER and you're not sure if there'll be content at the end or if you have to watch them all the way for it to count as being completed. I'm sure there's already been a dozen threads about this though.

I'm trying to think of the most recent example of this happening to me but I'm getting a blank. I think it was a Ubisoft game and they had to thank all their different studios around the world with individual credits for each member of staff (possibly another publisher with a bazillion different studios). But I can't think of a Ubisoft game I've completed recently.... Or any game for that matter but there was one that really pissed me off.

The Korn song at the end of Silent Hill Downpour was pretty out of place and awful.

@thunderslash: I think the song is OK, but yeah it has no place in a Silent Hill game.

@jadegl said:

D=

Comon now, even if you don't like it you can't deny that it's at least tonally in-line with the game. I'm almost certain it's the same vocalist that does the main menu theme and Leliana's Song at that. Though that pre-release Marilyn Manson trailer... now that was some peculiar choice of music right there.

Black Ops 2 without a doubt. They take possibly the most interesting enemy they've managed to write and let AVENGED SEVENFOLD walk all over him. Regardless of my personal distaste for the band it was one of the most jarring and poorly executed end credit 'gagz' I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing.

I think he was more thinking this song. I just finished Origins recently and it was just about the most jarring song ever. Bad bad bad choice.

(my vote goes to that song, by the way)

@rabid619: Oh... Oh.

Jesus, I think I may have quite literally blacked that out after I finally put that game to rest. Also, by the by Jadegl is a she.

@yummylee: Yeah it's... not good. But hey, who needs suppressed memories!

50/50 chance on gender, get it wrong. Never was any good at odds.

@wallofbricks: I'll second that pick. It was really jarring and out of place for me.

I'm sorry but I can only post the BEST end credits music.

Gears of War 1, Modern Warfare 1, and Black Ops 2 all had REALLY inappropriate end themes, as previously documented in this thread.

@rabid619: Yeah I was thinking that song. It just was so anachronistic for what the game was, plus its not something I would listen to anyway.

And yeah, I'm a lady, but if you didn't see my little picture it wouldn't have been apparent. And considering the demographics on video game sites, yeah. I can see choosing one over the other. :)

Fear 3 had Mother by Danzig... That is pretty awful...
