I think it should definitely stay on this page, because as the person who last reposted it said in his edit reason, you can find defenders of anything, no matter how bad. It\'s also worth mentioning that there have been some pretty strong rumours going around that certain people defending the game or silencing negative feedback on the Steam forums are employed by Hammerpoint Interactive.

I\\\'m not going to say that they\\\'re certain, but I seriously don\\\'t think that \\\"some people are defending it\\\" is really enough of a reason to remove a game from the list, because many of the flaws \\\'\\\'The War Z\\\'\\\' became infamous for are very much legitimate, particularly with regards to its launch, business practices, advertising and developer PR.

* In \\\'\\\'Manga/{{Beelzebub}}\\\'\\\', Himekawa gets one when looking over the ruins of his destroyed apartment building. Just to be clear, [[{{Fiction 500}} the entire building was his]].
* Pretty much anytime \\\'\\\'ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}\\\'\\\' or the \\\'\\\'ComicBook/{{BPRD}}\\\'\\\' defeat one of the [[EldritchAbomination Ogdru Hem]], they have a scene like this afterwards to show just how hard a fight it was.

* In \\\'\\\'Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan\\\'\\\', the crew of the Enterprise gather on the bridge to watch the Mutara Nebula slowly transform into the planet Genesis right before their eyes.
* \\\'\\\'Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull\\\'\\\' features an especially impressive scene of this kind at the end.
* Remake of \\\'\\\'TheTimeMachine,\\\'\\\' wherein at the end the time traveller, his new girlfriend in the future, and all the other Eloi are standing on a high hill looking down over the jungle as the entire local Morlock cave system is obliterated by temporal energy from the self-destructing time machine in the depths of the caves.
* This more or less describes the ending to \\\'\\\'Film/FightClub\\\'\\\'.
* \\\'\\\'Film/FromDuskTillDawn\\\'\\\' closes with a shot of the survivors driving away from the vampire-infested roadhouse. As they depart, the view pulls back to show that the roadhouse sits at the tip of an old Meso-American pyramid, half buried in the side of a cliff, and surrounded by hundreds of wrecked cars from the vampires\\\' previous victims.
* \\\'\\\'AlienResurrection\\\'\\\' ends with two characters [[spoiler: overlooking the crumbling remains of Paris.]]
* In MercedesLackey\\\'s \\\'\\\'HeraldsOfValdemar\\\'\\\' universe, upon returning to their homeland after the Cataclysm, the Kaled\\\'a\\\'in find a glass-floored crater where it had been, and look down from the cliff walls into it.
* \\\'\\\'Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer\\\'\\\' ends with the heroes standing [[spoiler: on the edge of the giant pit which used to be Sunnydale]].
* \\\'\\\'Series/DoctorWho\\\'\\\': The Doctor, Donna, and the Roman family on a hill, watching as Mt. Vesuvius explodes in \\\"Fires of Pompeii.\\\"
** In \\\"Cold Blood,\\\" the Doctor, Amy, and company run out of the TARDIS just in time to see the giant drill in the bottom of the valley explode.
* \\\'\\\'Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration\\\'\\\': At the beginning of the episode \\\"Best of Both Worlds,\\\" the Away Team is beamed down next to the edge of a crater that used to be a city.
** In part II of that ep, the famous \\\"Graveyard of Ships at Wolf 359\\\" scene.

* In \\\'\\\'VideoGame/RomancingSaGa\\\'\\\', the party you have chosen overlooks the ruins of Isthmus Keep as the last event in the ending.
* The endings of many, many \\\'\\\'Franchise/{{Castlevania}}\\\'\\\' games. Except more often than not, the castle is still crumbling as the Belmont-of-the-Day looks on from a distant cliff.
* \\\'\\\'{{Halo}}\\\'\\\' ends with Cortana and the Master Chief hustling to the back of their longsword to watch an entire artificial world being blown to pieces.
** Again in Halo 3 with the Arc.
** Inverted in Halo: Reach: [[spoiler:While everyone gets into the last ship, you stay behind to provide cover fire and watch it disappear into the sky, presumedly the last human on a planet pretty much completely annhilated by the Covenant.]]
* \\\'\\\'VideoGame/SonicAdventure\\\'\\\' ends with everyone overlooking the flooded ruins of Station Square.
* Present in spirit in \\\'\\\'VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl\\\'\\\'\\\'s \\\"Subspace Emissary,\\\" which ends with everyone standing on a cliff overlooking the sea, staring at a big \\\"X\\\" in the sky where [[spoiler:the Island of the Ancients used to be before it was completely destroyed by dozens of subspace bombs going off simultaneously]].
** It\\\'s probably both a reference to a) the Japanese name of \\\'\\\'Brawl\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Super Smash Bros. X\\\'\\\', and b) the ending of the \\\'\\\'VideoGame/KirbySuperStar\\\'\\\' game [[spoiler:Revenge of Meta Knight]], which also counts as an example with the ruins of [[spoiler: Battleship Halberd.
