Anti-Climax
You would think that game designers would give you a little bit of a treat for finishing their game.
I finally finished Quake4 after many (far too many) hours of gameplay and was most disappointed by the ending. It would be nice to have a spectacular cutscene at the end rather than something pathetic like I got here. The ending of Unreal II was slightly better but nothing spectacular. It would be nice to have your efforts awarded with some sort of display of the awesome graphics these designers can produce, rather than some pathetic, veiled trailer for the next game in the series. /Rant over.

If you want a horrible ending, play Medal of Honor:Allied Assualt, it was simply a black screen with "The End" written on it. I'm convinced they simply ran out of money or time and had no option but to put that in.

I remember feeling a bit lost after completing Call of Duty 2 but I think that was more because I was so engrossed in it, that once I'd completed it, I felt a bit 'Now what do I do?
 '  I'm fairly crap at completing games (either through lack of skill or because I get bored halfway through) so at least I don't get disappointed too often.

Deus Ex is a fantastic game
Hopefully it's aged well. I've still got my cd copy (Albeit 170 miles away from me atm) and often dig it out for a game. Think I paid £35 for it originally and it was well worth every penny.
