Borderlands
Starting off on the world of Pandora, this ending had been teased to the player since the very beginning of the game. Every action you make is to reach that sacred and elusive vault, which we could only assume is filled with glorious loot. Borderlands is a game all about gaining better and better gear, so when we finally reached the ending and got to the vault a twist was revealed. This secret vault was not a treasure trove of gear, but a big dumb monster dubbed “The Destroyer” that turned out to be just a huge bullet sponge.
Not to mention you got a pitiful amount of loot for your efforts that hardly felt like a true reward for beating the entire game. It also didn’t help that this boss wasn’t even terribly difficult, as it had easily avoided attacks and a less than challenging move set. Thankfully, we were given entire storerooms of courtesy of General Knox, but it was hardly enough to wash the foul taste out of our mouths from this lame video game ending.
