Best Videogame Endings Discussed

Posted by simoniker on from the spoilers-at-yr-peril dept.

Thanks to InsertCredit.com for their lengthy, semi-gonzo, spoiler-containing feature on the evolving nature of game end sequences. They ask "Why should an ending be a time to 'relax'? Why should an ending be something long, and complicated? Why should an action game, really, even have a final 'boss'? Do we need these conventions anymore?", while charting classic game endings from Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros. through Metroid Prime. They finish things up with the top 11 game endings of all-time, from "an alcoholic cartoon squirrel" to "the collapsing Death Egg."

    But does Slashdot really think it's necessary to link to a pge with such foul language on it? It's not too bad if it's the S-word, but this site even has the F-word. Unless I missed the bulleting, Slashdot's supposed to be a family website, that children and young teens can read.

    I know the troll post their foul language, but the moderation system takes care of that. But why does Slashdot feel the need to endorse such depravity?
