Half Life 2: Episode Tow kinda makes me angry. Aside from the fact there is no such game, the game they are referring to is a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger mind you that has yet to be resolved. To me that's a very shitty ending.
I'm not going to go through the whole list, because I haven't played most of those games. But are they referring to Super Mario Bros for NES? Really?

I just watched the black ops final ending on youtube. It was cool but not the best ever.

Your list is bad, and you should feel bad!
Seriously though, this list is akin to saying Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the best movie of all time.

Guinness is an alcoholic beverage, so I can only surmise that the people who developed that list were drunk and *** up the games that were on it, and the order they should be in.

I'm sure they didn't didn't conduct their surveys correctly, you would have to have people who have played many games, if not all of them on the list, to give a valid opinion.
I know what I think are the best video game endings, and I can say the same for any movie or book as well. Even if 10000 other people agreed with one of my picks, it doesn't mean that it is the absolute best ending of all time! It just means it is the most popular atm in today's generation.
I for one can not believe Guinness would take part in something like this when they should have their standards very high. I guess not.

13k voters is a pretty narrow margin to conclude something that drastic in the entire established community or demograph of video game players.
That alone is worth taking the list as a grain of salt, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if publishers had their degree of control over whom was polled and what outcomes were made.
I'm looking at you Activision.

Just noticed, FFX isn't on there? Wtf? This isn't a list of best endings, it's a list of popular games.

"Top 50 Games you like"
(survey administered to high school students of this graduating year)
... but yeah, I'm glad I saw KOTOR on there. I don't know about best, but I liked the ending a lot.

List should just be called "What is the most popular game of all time" Agreed. I played all the CoD single player missions and I gotta say Black ops wasn't the best. Not even close out of the CoD games. Nothing but people voting for the name not the product.

As a gamer that list offends me.

Sonic Adventure Battle:2 had an ending that made my mom cry, it was pretty emotional, but predictable.
But, better than half the games on that list.
Shadow...noooooo!!!

No reason to get upset, the list is a product of the population surveyed. God knows what sorts of people participated so just take it with a grain of salt. :/

interesting list >.> though really, if you ask someone what game had the best of a certain aspect, they will just reply with the current game they like the most without regarding the aspect. Nier has been highly regarded for its amazing music, try asking someone that hated the gameplay how they liked the music, they will just reply "its crap, its all crap". hell look at any game rating on gamefaqs, people will do all the different x/10 aspects based on what they want the final score to be, people rate XIII's graphics at 1/10 just cause they want to say they hate the game and therefore everything must be bad... same goes this way
moral of the story, these kinda of lists are always basically what kalilla said... whats the most popular game atm x.x

I saw this list too. It's safe to assume the survey was probably conducted outside GAME stores on the launch of the new COD game.

Pretty much. It reads like a list of top fanboy games more than anything. Everyone knows how fanatically Halo and COD fanboys defend their games as masterpieces.

That, and, remember that even if some other people don't like the things you like, it doesn't - or shouldn't - take away any of your personal enjoyment.

In fairness though, the endings to Halo are pretty damn good. Can't really say the same about COD.

(I hope i don't regret saying this >.>) while i fully enjoyed FFVII... of all the IV~ FF games i think it had the least interesting/developed ending... idk, it just seemed very short and kinda uneventful and lacked closure. then again it has plenty of sequels XD

I will be the first to say I get hundreds of great hours of game time out of every new COD launch. Then again, a few of us get on nearly nightly and play together, so it's more camaraderie than it is the actual game. Best ending ever? Definitely not.

Bioshock got screwed, one of the only games that made me O.O when the truth came out.... "Would you kindly......" amazing.
Legacy of Kain series always had some great endings too!!! Still unfinished and I fear will stay that way.

Apparently, Black Ops has the best video game ending in gaming history...
Quote: Guinness Voters Select Black Ops As Greatest Ending In Gaming History
Remember Big Boss saluting at the grave of The Boss? How about the fate of John Marston in Red Dead Redemption? Or the insane final moments of Portal 2? Well, none of those endings are as good as the one in Call of Duty: Black Ops, according to the 2012 Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition book.
After 13,519 votes were counted, the 2010 Call of Duty entry stood atop the list of greatest gaming endings of all time. If I remember correctly, it involved shooting a lot of guys, hearing Ed Harris yell something, doing a QTE or two, and then seeing jets fly overhead as a guitar riff played.
You can see the complete list below:

49. Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic
48. Ratchet & Clank: a Crack in Time
47. Crysis 2
46. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

44. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
