[Nikolasvanitas 358]

Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer's Edition, which is out now, has included a section on the "top 50 video game endings of all time". Not surprisingly, both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II have made the list! Kingdom Hearts II was awarded 31st place, and Kingdom Hearts was awarded 22nd. You can see the complete list at our forum. Thanks to Nikolasvanitas from KH13 for the tip.

 

Guinness World Records can today reveal the Top 50 Videogame Endings of All Time as voted for by 13,519 fans of gaming.

 

Conducted for the new Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer's Edition book, the list will cause heated debate among passionate gamers and provide further evidence of the growing sophistication and popularity of videogames.

This list recognises some of the greatest endings and hopefully will get gamers talking about what are their favourites and why."

But why not point out that KH was number 22, above KH2? And MGS4 should've been higher up...

[xxClouDxxmoon 901]

You forgot to mention Kingdom Hearts 1?

oops sorry my bad,i fixed it ,it happened accidentally http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png Also its nice to see that people think that the kh1 ending is better than some of the other games like shadow of the collosus which is considered an amazing game with a very sad and surpising ending

[Captain Scrotum 53]

I....wow. I officaly hate society now. Call of Duty: Black Ops, the best video game ending of all time. Just..F'UCKING SERIOUSLY?

[Col.Random 3,683]

i think kh2 had a better ending then kh1

[Sora96 17,256]

That's pretty cool. But it doesn't change the fact that KH isn't that popular.

[Grimmjow 839]

This list is bullshit.

I hate our generation of gamers. The absolute majority has no knowledge or taste in real games.

Black Cocks ranked 1.... voted by "gamers".... a disgrace... while masterpieces like SotC get ranked 24.... below 3 Call of Duty games.

 

And we have to consider... this ranking is about ENDINGS!.... MGS4 has the longest and most cinematic and dramatic ending ever. The ending itself could be a firetrucking movie.

The ending of SotC made me cry like a little bitch.

But yes... CoD: Black Ops has the best video game ending of all time. Sure.

 

Gamers.... I am disappoint.

[Keyblade King 12 486]

I'm the same with Grimmjow. The top ten of that list is an absolute joke. FF7 I can understand for nostalgic reasons. Metal Gear Solid 4 was awesome. Portal was amazing and although I prefer Majora's mask, Ocarina of Time is one of the best games of all time. The rest of that top ten is utter crap.

i have to say the ending of sotc is a masterpiece ,i have never seen such a dramatic ending

[Grimmjow 839]

i have to say the ending of sotc is a masterpiece ,i have never seen such a dramatic ending

 

And yet it is ranked 24. below 3 CoD games..... smh.

[dusk 910]

Ok, this list is kinda stupid: I don't say that Black Ops's ending sucked, but it definitely wasn't that good, MWs' has lot of better endings than BO, still those aren't best I have seen either. MGS 3 and 4 needs higher rank and where is Syphon Filters?????????????MGS peace walker had also awesome ending.

[TheKingdomkid 1,194]

why am i not surprised by this you know i was reading it and i was thinking, you know i bet a Call of Duty game got first, and i was right, but Black Ops, that ending was like nothing compaired to some of the games on this list, Infamous shouldve had a better ranking along with Uncharted 2 and Kingdom Hearts 2, and why is super mario bros 11 don't they all end the same, Mario rescuing Peach? still anyway i undersand some of them like Kingdom Hearts got a good spot and so did Halo 3 and Reach but im pretty sure most of these should have had a better ranking then what they have now

[Rob 5,571]

HOW THE FIRETRUCK IS BLACK OPS AND POKEMON BLACK & WHITE RATED HIGHER THAN KH? This deserves a facepalm.

 

*someone insert facepalm*

[freer709 44]

MGS4's ending Should have been #1

[Steeghs 56]

i im clad that the make it to the top 50

[Kinode 3,056]

*someone insert facepalm*

 

[Arya Stark 1,337]

I hate this generation as well. 13,519 gamers my ******************. They were probably 13 year olds who didn't know any better.

I'm 13 and I find this offensive

[Arya Stark 1,337]

Well then, you are the only 13 year old with good taste in games.

[lizzie1238 538]

I'd like to see a Japanese-only poll of this type. Then it wouldn't have CoD on the list! Stupid CoD fanboys.

[Akihiko 1,628]

Well then, you are the only 13 year old with good taste in games.

 

I'm 12 and I find this offensive.

[J. Severe 1,137]

List seemed legit until I saw Black Ops.

 

KH's ending made me near shed tears. All Black Ops does is make me shudder in disgust.

[Zenithia 305]

tutti frutti. Why can't we just accept that there are critics out there that have different views in terms of ranking games in the world. Everyone has their own views of what video games are good and bad. I for one am glad that KH1 & 2 are on the list, despite where they are ranked, but I won't go into that. Not to list names or point fingers, but gamers are varied in terms of age, and we don't know the ages of those that participated in the voting.

 

Back to the thread, being in the Guinness World Record is something that I'm glad two KH games, let alone one, are in the records. There could have easily been games as bad a Hotel Mario for example (My opinion) that could have been listed in the Guiness Records. Things could be worse, but we have no control over some stuff in the world.

[Arya Stark 1,337]

All right, time to reclarify what I said. Anybody 13 or younger on this forum isn't a complete idiot who think MW3 is the best game on the planet.
