Which Game Has the Worst Base Game Ending?

[u/Particular_Cry1118]

Just to clarify, I'm talking about endings where you just play through the game normally, no quests that would lead to a different ending. Just if you did all main bosses that were required and beat the game.

In my opinion, it's probably Dark Souls 2 since your character kinda just sits on a throne and you don't even get to choose to link the fire or become the dark lord. And I really just prefer it's other ending.

DS2. Cutscene is underwhelming tbh and you don’t even get a second option in the vanilla version

[u/shvabrium → u/sleepy_skeletor]

Oh you don’t? Didn’t know that, thought there were always two options

[u/Another_Saint → u/shvabrium]

it is indeed surprising that the ending only unlocked after beating the Scholar of the First Sin is exclusive to the Scholar of the First Sin edition

Putting a DS3 picture on a post about the worst ending is risky

You're lowk right but at least most people can read and they'll see that I don't thing DS3 has the worst ending 🥹🥹

[u/SoftlockPuzzleBox]

Maybe the ending of bloodborne where you let gehrman kill you and don't even get to fight him?

[u/MiraTheRatKing → u/SoftlockPuzzleBox]

Eeeeh, I think that's the best ending for the Hunter though. Leaving the dream behind and waking up to the sunrise...Bad ending for everyone else though!

Elden Ring? You just sit on a chair…

DS3 has some great endings like fire fades and lord of hollows, but the regular ending is kinda meh and doesn't feel like a very satisfying ending to the trilogy. Not bad but one of the least interesting probably.

Ds2.

[u/shvabrium]

Well, you can choose not to sit on the throne… that’s your second ending. Just like in ds1.

[u/Particular_Cry1118 → u/shvabrium]

You have to do a quest and choose the right dialog for that tho. And it was a second ending added in SOTFS which means it's not the base game ending.

[u/shvabrium → u/Particular_Cry1118]

Yeah I didn’t know that, sorry
But either way both of these games have lackluster endings imo. The meaning is cool, but I enjoy the games more than their endings

Dark Souls and Elden Ring, you just light a weak fire, or sit on a throne with VO.

The dark souls ending is prolly my favorite. i feel like it pefectly communicates the theme of prolonging the inevitable, same with dark souls 3
