7 Fake Game Overs That Had Us Totally Fooled

A fake game over is when some sneaky videogame makes us think it’s all over when it’s not, toying with our expectations, preying on our fears, and subverting the conventions of the medium itself. Consider these seven times a game gave us a fake-out ending and we fell for it like the suckers we are. Also, subscribe for a video like this every Thursday!

I actually have 2 for this! Okami: after beating Orochi for the first time the credits roll but it turns out you're nowhere near done the game. And Dragon Quest XI: a few tens of hours in you beat the big bad and the credits roll, but your actually only halfway done the story!

[@Tabbyclaw]

Okami goes hard on "this is definitely the end" before the first Orochi fight, to the point where the first time I played I restarted the entire game because I thought I'd glitched something. Surely I couldn't be at the final dungeon this early!

Yeah for Dragon Quest XI. Then there's also when you fight the casino/arena boss as the one party member and you lose you think that it's gonna be over but then your outfit revives you and you learn that you can't die. I think that there are actually a lot of examples from Dragon Quest games.

Submission for the inevitable “commentor edition” sequel video, MY first encounter with the fake out ending was a little known namco game called ghosthunter which has your kidnapped partner possessed by the spirit of an ancient evil crusader knight who proceeds to shoot you dead.

Well, that's psychology at work. They left out (at least) one extremely obvious choice, so that - first - we have your exact thoughts (which I did), and - second - they already have candidates for the commenter edition.

I love J:FO, but it has its problems. I think the biggest is that it is actually a cross between a 3D Metroidvania and a Sekisoulsborne game--but *unlike* Bloodborne especially but all the Fromsoft games in general, it doesn't do as good a job of teaching you how to actually play the game cleverly. I brute forced my way through the game without trouble, it was great! ... And then the second to last boss, suddenly I couldn't win at *all* and had to turn it down to story mode--not even easy, *story mode*--to beat it. Whooops.

FNaF: Sister Location has to have the best fakeout I've ever seen to end night 3. You go through a minigame to get to a minigame, complete the minigame, then SEEMINGLY have to go back through the previous minigame to escape. Nothing happens as you make your way back, until suddenly, randomly, you get the exact jumpscare that normally marks failure. EVERYONE was faked out by that one, there's no indication that it wasn't somehow your fault for screwing up. But then, instead of saying "Game Over", it plays the between-nights audio we've been hearing of a little girl talking, then starts up night 4, all without ceremony. Even when the fakeout is revealed, you're left confused as to whether or not it was a fakeout. It's brilliant.

This one is going way back. In the old school game Balyhoo, released 1985, there is one point in which you are on a platform and below is an elephant. You have to drop a mouse behind the elephant to get it to rush through a gate and break it open. When you do this, the elephant also breaks the platform you're standing on and you fall to the ground. The game then tells you that you've died. When you tell it to load or restart, it then says "look around" when you do, it says "it seems reports of your death were greatly exaggerated." You're allowed to continue the game.

[@Darkman9000]

The Curse of Monkey Island has a hilarious moment where, after faking his own death (it's a long story), protagonist Guybrush Threepwood awakens locked inside a casket in a darkened crypt.

There's one of these in Deltarune: Chapter 2, where if you go to a certain spot, the Annoying Dog from Undertale will appear for... some reason, and chase you with a car, and eventually hit you, playing the Undertale game over screen before the dog runs that over, too, and you get to continue.

A year after this video came out and I am surprised there was no part 2 or a commenter edition, and even more surprised that the fake ending from WWE '12 was not mentioned, which might be, if I am not wrong, one of the more well known fake endings.

[@BeeHeartHeartHeart]

The one that popped right into my mind is Futurama the game

[@mikebereziuk6041]

Yes. The bloody tutorial gives you a game over. Fml. Lucky fry respawns.

[@HavocHounds1988]

11:14, he's a pirate king of course.

[@tiffanynicole5003]

Sonic and the black night literally takes you through an entire end credits then just goes directly to another cut scene

“You have to beat the game twice?!” -Angry Video Game Nerd, Ghouls & Ghost Review. Great video, very sweet.

[@nicholaslietzan9721]

I miss these videos when andy sat all fancy in the chair. I hooe they can get back to their normal set up soon

[@persephonedoe64]

Why does Pitt have a seizure when talking to the peoples of the Underworld?

[@alyssabrown5480]

I just finished Control, and said "what!?" out loud when the credits started rolling for the fake out ending, and almost missed the clues that it was fake while I turned to Google to see if there were multiple endings or something.

[@alberthadonlyone]

No love for Curse of Monkey Island? That game over was so convincing that repeating it resulted in Stan S. Stanman paying out the life insurance policy.

[@little-earth-star6]

Oh my God. I remembered my brother showed me that exact sequence in Dream Team just to see my reaction.

[@PineappleTheft]

Borderlands 3...actual to be continued in 4 messages before the psych out and count down. Plus they reinforced it being the last mission by having you say goodbye to crew.

[@heathermay9510]

I can’t believe that the Level 1 game over in the Futurama video game, the most iconic game of the PS2/original Xbox generation, did not make this list.

[@chewiechops]

Sekiro will always be the one that got me. That Guardian Ape rising back up after the "Shinobi Execution" popped up. Classic

[@fromanothermind]

Hades was actually the best god of them all

[@marcelomarrufo1745]

No me finding out that I actually didn’t finish Control rn 👁👄👁

[@Apocalypse21187]

Short one in Mass effect 2 Arrival: fight waves of enemies to be knocked out anyway after beating them - but if they "kill" you, when shepard dies instead of the game over screen its a cutscene that results in shepard waking up where they would've if you survived the waves

[@theyofmanynames]

I had to click this video to check whether it mentioned Just Shapes and Beats, seeing how it's my special interest and my favorite game of all time. Glad to see we're not completely forgotten!

[@golbez1583]

"Is King K. Rool a king or a pirate?" Ah, clearly you missed the latest episode of One Piece, where it was revealed that King K. Rool was the one true King of the Pirates!

[@rogeliojaimes121]

Bruh spoilers

[@hotcoco8562]

Where’s Batman: Arkham Asylum? When you go into Scarecrow’s nightmare, the joker shoots you and it literally shows the death screen. But it is all on purpose. It honestly fooled me the first time I played it.

[@wardenm]

Hitman Bloodmoney is my absolute favorite doing this. Your own funeral and end credits, serving as a proper ending unless you realize your own heart is slowly beating, so you can mash the buttons till you wake up.

[@mysticladyrachel]

How could you not mention Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch? We went from happy ending to fantasy zombie apocalypse, and my jaw was on the FLOOR

[@majdramadan8404]

Hold up. I feel like I’ve seen this video before.

[@mrhater8561]

Haha lol

[@fortunefinder5697]

Control is a better Star Wars game than anything EA has produced. Yeah I said it.

[@Lee-zc1qz]

100% true. Remedy needs to be hired by EA to make future Star Wars games. Plots will be more interesting, too.

[@callumdonington2227]

Yes police? I just witnessed a murder.

[@GhostHunterDipperPines]

I’m glad someone remembered Dream Team. Love that game!

[@Miketotaldrama936]

I am thankful someone finally mentioned DKC, my mom, cousin, and I play this game every time he sleeps over

[@respectableaf9061]

Like in real life, when your first crush breaks up with you. Not really game over, but feels like it.

[@toxikowl5904]

Icarus was Dedalus's son. He died escaping king Minus with Dedalus when his bronze wings broke and he fell into the sea.

[@ericb3157]

reminds me of a takeoff story i read in a magazine... in that story, Icarus was testing a hang-glider Dedalus had designed, tried to gain too much height too fast, stalled out, and crashed...

[@toxikowl5904]

@@ericb3157 cool ya i love greek mythology and since they are legends there are many versions so this is just the story i think of

[@Novosish]

You do realize that putting the words "FAKE GAME OVERS" next to a picture of the main character of a game in an alternate outfit is a huge spoiler for people who have started the game but haven't gotten very far in it, yeah? Kinda like how I started Control a bit ago only to see the thumbnail of your video and immediately put 2 and 2 together that it will happen later in the game and will no longer surprise me. Great job OutsideXbox, I really appreciate it.
