One really good scene > a lot of mediocrity
Especially in video game endings, which are usually bloated and overly long and entirely ****ing pointless (HI THERE FINAL FANTASY EIGHT). A single great scene basically makes me zone out the rest of the ending and remember it. It's why I love the ending of MGS3 so much (although by bloated and long ending standards it's still pretty decent even in the parts that drag), and it's also why I'd put the FFXII ending pretty high because even though it isn't overly great, it's fairly brief and thus doesn't manage to make me annoyed at it.

Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved.
