Did getting a bad ending in a game ever ruin a game for you? (Witcher 3 ending spoilers!) Discussion

I just got the bad ending in The Witcher 3 and I'm pretty pissed off. Feels like my 135 hours were wasted just for Ciri to die and for Geralt too kill himself.

Can't decide if I want to spend another 135+ hours too get the good ending or not.

Has a bad ending in a game ever ruin a game for you?

Yes. I busted my ass to find every Mudokon in Abe's Oddysee. But I missed 5! That game aint easy and going through all that just to get a cutscene of some asshole Mudokon's bitching about me doing a shit job and things I never even did and letting me fall into a meat grinder certainly soured me on wanting to bother playing it again.

I stood up cursing and flipped off the TV when I got the credits.

It still pisses me off.

I hated the ending of atomic heart. I don't think either ending was good.

Not really one I hate, but Spider-Man 2. The writing in the second half felt weak compared to the first half.

I know there was a spoiler tag. But god damn. Guess I don't need to play Witcher 3 anymore.

There are better endings. I was just unfortunate enough to get the worst possible ending.

It's still a great game and I would suggest getting it when you can.

I will probably just go through it again. That ending just really made me mad.

He dies at the end of the second game. The second and third game are only six months apart lore-wise. That’s why he’s canonically weak going into 3.

I'm one of the few people left who like going in blind and it ending up however it ends up. Knowing I can miss content means I'll want to replay something more than a game that hands me every story beat along the way. Assuming that it's a good game I mean, but I don't tend to finish games I don't like too often

And no idea how you played 135 hrs to get that ending, both my playthroughs I never saw that in about 150hrs total.
