This is why I just do not buy any story that’s unfinished.
As sad as it is, no matter how cool Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth looks, I just can’t emotionally bring myself into it knowing it could be another Kingdom Hearts 3 “we don’t know where we’re going” ending. Even my childhood classic Half-Life both couldn’t commit to an ending, and when their writer frustratedly uploaded “fanfiction” of its ending, it basically ended on a Cthulu Mythos style downer.
From now on, I’m only getting into stories if I can see a review that says “It ended very well!” not “I can’t wait to see what happens next.”
The only author I feel comfortable reading an unfinished series by is Brandon Sanderson. But that's just because the dude can write two books in the time it takes me to read one.
Edit: Son of a bitch, he wrote another book while I was writing that comment. Skip to the very end for new book announcement
Bing!
Legit.
I'm so sick of the 'big twist' ending where something 'unexpected' happens or it leaves it ambiguous, just give us closure.
The ending to Hot Fuzz is perfect. It answers questions, doesn't stick around too long and ties up all the loose ends, while still being open-ended and leaving it to the viewer to conjure what happens next.
