Do good endings make great games?

Ending matters no matter how much people may not think so....it's just one aspect however. Ending is just like graphics, story, art direction, uniqueness etc etc. For a game to be GREAT it needs a good combination of those so yes the ending does matter.

Maybe for RPGs which you play for the story...But name me a AAA action game with a good ending.

God of War 1 had one of the most epic and satisfying endings I have ever seen in a videogame. That's not the only reason why I think it's a great game. It's a game that did everything right: gameplay, story, graphics, sound...etc. sometimes endings do matter if a game has a lot going for it. that's how I see it.

God of war did have a decent ending but it really could have had Kratos pooping on a stick as the ending and it still would have been amazing.

But I guess with narritive based games like God of war it ads a level of completion...

However i still claim that a great playing game is great without a great ending.
