The original MDK. The whole game can be completed in about 4 hours if you know what you're doing. But there's an insane amount of variety in the level designs and puzzles that it's kind of worth it.
The ending of the original RAGE is definitely up there for me. The game just kind of... ends just as it is about to ramp up.
I also felt incredibly disappointed by the original Fallout 3 ending. It felt extremely contrived.
I'm not entirely sure but pretty sure the collector's edition of Watch_Dogs I bought back when it launched is up there with the most I've ever paid for a game.
Not counting the amount of money I spent on games like Blacklight Retribution, lol
The thing is most major publishers are still interested in making a profit, so they not only have to recoup the costs of making the game but also earning some money on it.
I think for my case it won't really affect me much. I might just wait a while, get it on sale.
Hard to say, since least annoying doesn't necessarily correlate with most memorable, just music that is very inoffensive. I agree that the Elder Scrolls games in general have very good ambient music, same with the Fallout series.
Still haven't played Last Of Us but it sounds worth playing.
So far the best opening I've seen in a game is Doom 2016. Just straight to the point, kick demon ass.
