Inspired by @fuckingshit's post, I'd like to know your opinions on games with really bad or disappointing endings. Sometimes games do great for almost all of it, only to totally ruin it at the end.
I'll agree with Mass Effect 3.

I don't think it needs a happy or sad ending, but what we got was utterly disconnected from the previous choices. When they had the sidequest for Tali and you entered the Geth cyberspace, I thought it would be connected to the ending of dealing with the Reapers. It would've been satisfying and thematic to nonstandard ways of solving problems. It also lets the Quarians have a victory that shows that engineering and creating wasn't wrong. Hell, the Geth could've worked with them and patched their history. It would reward players who maintained good relationships with their crew and make the victory a shared one, fitting with the ideal of the Citadel.
Instead, it was a one-off quest that said nothing of the the game as a whole and there were no other big choices that affected the ending.
Anyway, what games had awful endings, and if you want, how would you have changed it?
In the spirit of preventing unwanted spoilers, could we tag them in this post?
Kara's story is completely ruined when they reveal that Alice was a robot the whole time. I saw it coming from the carnival, but thought these writers couldn't possibly be that dumb.
Suddenly it goes from all these androids risking their lives to protect a child to a bunch of androids needlessly endangering themselves.
They could just turn off the child's temperature meter off at any time (and later on, they do).
Also it raises the question what the kid does every time you give her food. Does the game cut out the parts where she's like "What the fuck do you want me to do with this? You and everyone in this room knows I don't eat."
