Have you ever heard of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere? You are given the opportunity to betray your comrades multiple times, defecting from basically the UN Peacekeepers (Universal Peace Enforcement Organization aka UPEO) to the private armies of the companies General Resources (GR) or Neucom, or the terrorist organization known as Ouroboros. There are five endings, depending on whose side you ended up on: The first, sticking with UPEO gets you arguably the best ending, with some very... questionable actions along the way. You and your pal Jaeger fly off into the sunset, with your briefly terrorist friend Rena Hinrose waving from the wreckage of a superplane called the Night Raven she got from some terrorists she was hunting down and then joined (this is the only ending where she survives.) The second, siding with GR, ends with your new friend Keith kamikazi-ing his fighter jet into another fighter jet so that you can lock onto Keith's plane to shoot down the second fighter jet. Also Rena gets shot down by you and Keith after siding with Ouroboros and ends up in a coma. The third, siding with Ouroboros from GR gets you... Keith dying in a similar way, only this time he Kamikazis into the Night Raven. But you fight somebody with a fighter jet inside of a computer. The fourth, siding with Neucom has you collapse an underground city in an attempt to kill Rena, who has obtained the Night Raven and then destroy a bunch of air purifiers that were giving the thing supermaneuverabiliy. The fifth, siding with Ouroboros from Neucom, has you actually kidnap Rena to fly the Night Raven (she's the only one able to fly it because reasons) and then you immediately defect back to Neucom and shoot down the superplane without collapsing the city. It then turns out that all paths were canon because none of this had happened yet; it was a simulation to ensure that an AI called NEMO (played by you) would always kill a computerized copy of someone named Abyssal Dision, which you do in every path. The experiment is deemed a success by NEMO's creator, the simulation is deleted, and NEMO is released into the world to do all that for real.

When you finally kill the Heart of Darkness, it’s heavily implied that the estate is stuck in a time loop, all the eldritch horrors remain, and your work was all for nothing as you commit suicide and observe the new heir who has no idea what they’re in for. A bad ending, and feels even more so after you had to go through the final fight and sacrifice heroes only for it to do essentially nothing.
@reapergaming63705 жыл бұрын
You'all forgot about Hollow Knight. In the "bad" ending, you are condemned to holding the Radiance within you for all eternity, and Hornet may even be stuck with you (depends on when you go for the bad ending) In the "good ending," you manage to kill the Radiance and save Hallownest but you and all of your siblings die with the Radiance. In the godmaster ending, you kill the Radiance and ascend to a deity-like status, but you will either begin to drown Hallownest in the void or the void will collapse in on the mind you dream nailed (depends on if you give a certain flower to the godseeker). In both cases, Hornet has to fight for her life against a freed and pissed off Hollow Knight. In all the endings, either you, Hornet, or Hallownest get screwed.
@dragonlordic5347 Жыл бұрын
its been 4 years but guess what: i don't care Clarification: Endings 1 and 2 also get worse when you consider: so does this actually work? I mean, the entire story revolves around you having to deal with the supposed "hollow knight" failing. So the question becomes, are you hollow enough? Or do you succumb to the infection like your predecesor did? For ending 3, I find it kind of unlikely that Ghost (the protag) dies. Actually, I think it's more likely that he did what we see the siblings do in the abyss. Dissapear, and probably take a nap or something. Still even though nothing really that bad happened, it still leaves us feeling somber, thanks to the music and the fact that we don't really get to see Ghost again, just his empty skull... thing. And for all endings, its important to note this. Hallownest never really gets a good ending. The king is dead, 3 of the 5 great knights are, guess what, dead, and a lot of people kind of died. Quirrel does whatever Quirrel did, Cloth is still dead if you follow that storyline, Tiso... eh, he had it coming. And as for Zote, if you leave him behind, thats the best ending you'll ever get. But no, really. Even without the infection, Hallownest is too broken to realistically be fixed, and theres no ending to change that.

Interestingly, the endings for Spec-Ops: The Line are all subtly implied to be just another hallucination, since all transitions out of scenes that are hallucinations or where the protagonist is lying to himself are fades to white, and all endings feature this transition. Even more interestingly, the "best" ending fades to white, but then cuts to the protagonist in the jeep sent to pick him up, where the protagonist is asked how he survived, to which he responds, "Who says I did?" The scene then fades to black, indicating reality. The combination of these transitions means that people are still debating whether it's real or not.

I always thought that Walker saying he didn't survive was a metaphor for how the trauma will change him forever. He's not Walker anymore, not the same one, at least.

In fact it could be BECAUSE the main characters killed the Wendigo at the end, that Josh was basically possessed/turned into a wendigo himself.

Far Cry 5: - You either leave the Cult to take control of Hope County without a second thought cuz the intro was too scary for you, - You abandon the locals and drive away from the county to Missoula (Where spoiler alert: you kill everyone who's with you in the car) - Ooorr, you fight the cult's leader, but find out that he was right about the end of the world and then you get imprisoned with him in a bunker All endings are quite sad/horrible because, depending on how you look at it, every civilian that you have met is practically either enslaved or dead. (And no, It's not confirmed that New Dawn is cannonical, which means that yes, everyone is most likely dead...poor Boomer). To make matters worse, the Cult is right about the end of the world and if you consider their motivations were to save Hope County, that could mean that the Deputy is an anti-hero and that the secret/1st ending is the best. (However letting John, Jacob & Faith live is a big no-no considering how many people they (especially Faith) would kill in the name of the cult. even though they are the ''good guys'' the Heralds have HORRIBLE ways of preaching)

How about Dying Light? The game has 2 endings right now (which are only available through "The Following" DLC BTW. The core game default ending is - not letting the military to bomb the city by having a vaccine on your person which they really need to have, because they forgot to have a spare outside of infected zone). In the DLC there are 2 "real" endings, however. You see - in the DLC you find out about existence of another vaccine that allows people to actually get cured from the infection. Except it doesn't. What it does instead - it starts a very slow process by the end of which you will turn into one of the nightmarish night hunters, but you will keep your personality. But ONLY while you are in the light. In the dark - you will turn into bloodthirsty monster as all of the others are. You are basically a werewolf. But a zombie. And your zombie face stays with you all the time, not just for the night. A lady called "The Mother" who's half-human half-mutant (human in light, bloodthirsty mindless monster in the dark) puts you into a choice: to detonate a nuclear bomb hidden inside the local area's dam or not. If you do - well, you kill everyone and everything you met across the entire game, making everything you did pointless. What will not be destroyed by a nuclear fire - will be drowned since you also blew up the dam. But, i guess, you killed all the zombies and stoped the infection via extreme measure, so there is no infection anymore. If you dont - you first have to kill The Mother in a brutal duel because your main character starts turning into one of those half-breed mutants too as the fight goes on and as he punches mother to death with his bare hands. Once you kill the mother - the main character tries to return to The Tower to give the "vaccine" to his friends, but he gets lost in the sewers and SOMEHOW ends up leaving the quarantine zone and turning up in the middle of a perfectly fine neighbor city. At a dawn too - which means that mother over there and 2 of her children playing at the playground are about to be eaten alive by our stuborn main character. Talk about grimm endings...

Tod Vulpes I think I see where you're coming from and I partially agree: in fact, I think the nuclear option would have been a great heroic sacrifice but for one huge problem (and Artek, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I think you and I are on the same page for this): you also kill everyone you helped. Not only does that make everything you did pointless, it feels like you just stabbed in the back a whole small town's worth of people that trusted you and that had fought so hard to survive the world going to hell around them, meaning even if you gave up, they probably weren't ready to.

I had an empty hole in me, and a ton of unanswered questions, replayed the whole game again, literaly in a week 3 times, and I found out some thing's that made me ADORE the game, and it's story I wont divulge anymore, since there are sea of videos explaining the story and act's of everything that's going on in the game

What could possibly go wrong! Not only are there roughly 22 endings, but calling any of them the "Happy End" really shows how optimistic you can be. Even the endings where you escape are bitter, and the true ending is as bleak as you can imagine. Almost makes you wish for the endings where you simply die.

Reason being that as far as i remember from playing the game it's that Chloe should've died and Death won't leave them alone until Chloe dies. So sacrificing Arcadia Bay was just the start, to me it's kind of that they run away, but no matter where they go, they basically doom everyone they meet to suffer.

We did our best not to let her die and at the same time she is the antagonist. Viola is a main character, but not the protagonist of the game so you cannot use "your" to refer to the victim Viola. Viola could also be counted as the antagonist since she's hindering you (the protagonist Ellen) from reaching your goal. Simply put, you are just playing an evil character, like in Spec Ops: The Line where you are both the protagonist and antagonist.

And that whole episode brought in soul cloning... Marvel Spiderman style, not clone trooper style, which instead of duplicating Starkiller, reincarnated him. If this game was to remain cannon if the first had, I'd say it was worth it. But yeah... Still mad at Disney for crapping on the Exp U.

The only other option is to fight alongside John, which leads Cole and Kuo to fight everyone who they had considered an ally up until then, and the remnants of the Militia, and they kill them all. Cole is even forced to slowly kill Zeke on the cathedral's rooftop. Once they win, John gives Cole his power, which turns Cole into the Beast, and he proceeds to destroy humanity to save the Conduits, and this time, there isn't a Kessler to fix everything.

I would like to also point out Tales of Xillia 2. The Bad ending: You betray your party members before the final dungeon, choosing instead to fight them instead of sacrificing your brother to save the world. You kill all of your party members, your brother dies anyway and the world is doomed. The Normal ending: You choose to save your future daughter from another dimension, but it doesn't matter because she decides to sacrifice herself so all alternate dimensions will be destroyed and the Prime dimension can be saved. At least it ends with you meeting the woman who would become her mother, so a new version of her can be born, and you can make all of the same mistakes that started the story all over again. The True/Good ending: You choose to destroy all alternate dimensions, thus protecting your future alternate dimension daughter from dying, by way of sacrificing yourself in her place. So she gets to grow with both versions of her father being dead, the alternate dimension version of her mother being dead, and the true world version of her mother having never had met her, thus meaning the child she was meant to have would never be born. But at least you saved the world.

In every other ending at least somebody survives (even in the bleakest destroy ending!)... In my second playthrough I played a realy jerky renegade, so I didn't have enough EMS for the synthesis ending -or any decent ending, in fact- so I picked destroy, since that was the most renegade ending... A whole lot of people died and Shepard died with them... which was actually fine for that particular Shepard because everybody hated him anyway... So yeah, synthetisis for me...

Words cannot encapsulate how much I love and appreciate Spec Ops: The Line as a story, a game, and most of all, an exercise of moral reflection. Specific scenes (the entire final act, in particular) stayed with me long after I finished Spec Ops: The Line. I had no idea what the game was about prior to picking it up (PS3) at a local game store, and I chose to buy the game simply because I liked the cover art. Mentally and emotionally, I was not prepared for Spec Ops: The Line was about to offer. It definitely fucked me up for a few days after I completed it. As the story progressed, its emotional and psychological weight honestly made the game more and more difficult to finish. However, I will be forever happy with my decision to finish the game, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Spec Ops: The Line is that rare game that turns popular game mechanics on their heads and forces you to think about your decisions and actually chastises you for making them. It is a game that was purposely made to not be enjoyed, but rather, to make you question why you enjoy such games. The developers were brave enough to make Spec Ops: The Line, and for that, I commend them. That being said, it is a damn shame that Spec Ops: The Line did not get more recognition. The game certainly deserved it.

The huge problem with Spec Ops is it cheats you with events that could never happen in the way they do in the game, and with events that make no sense at all in the light of the ending. For example the infamous white phosporus scene. Soldiers in real life got into such situations and survived without such desperate actions. There were actual options for the fireteam to get around the enemy camp, and in a real life scenario a commander wouldn't even consider attacking the camp at all. And the whole the colonel was dead all along thing... First, even the CIA guy (who was definetaly was real, as others communicated with him too) though he was alive. Second, the moment when a CO starts to hallucinate, one of his/hers subordiantes MUST relieve them from command. It's not simply an obligation, anybody would common sense would do it for their own fucking good. Your character gets dellusional from the phospous scene, no way in hell his subordinates would still follow him instead of tying him up, and trying to extract from the area. Third, why the hell would the enemy soldiers still fight the way they do? Who the hell commands them? Who the hell keeps their dead CO in a chair of the highest point of a building instead of properly burrying them? Spec Ops was a game with absolutely awful gameplay, and the whole concept of it was to stop you from playing. It's not a joke, one of the creators himself told the whole concept of the game was to make people understand the horrors of war, and stop playing, which was the good ending in their opinion. The good ending of a game you paid for is NOT to play it through... I don't know about others, but I most certainly find it an asshole way to give people a game for money, then tell them they are awful if they play it through.

That said, it is a very tough game in the sense it keeps chastising you for playing it. It might sound hypocritical of a game to punish you for playing it, but it's something the developers themselves admitted to doing. All those scenes, all those parts where you felt like you had no choice but to do the horrible thing - that's exactly how Walker felt.

Mass Effect 3. You're choices are, kill all AI in the galaxy, including the friendly ones for some really stupid reason. Try to control the Reapers, which you most likely just shot the Illusive Man for attempting, and is a stupid idea to begin with. Or you can choose to assimilate the entire galaxy with cybernetics, regardless of what they may think of it. Oh, and then there's the fourth ending they patched in, where you can attempt to fight it out, and lead to galactic extinction. And no matter what you choose, Shepard dies. And no matter what, the Mass Relays are destroyed, which would pretty much end galactic civilization, though the Extended Cut tried to BS around this saying these machines we barely even understood the basics of how they worked could be repaired. Is it any wonder when this game came out, so many of us really wanted all of these endings to just be a bad dream?
@idiocyincorporated76356 жыл бұрын
BunBun299 i actually liked the last two endings, i played it after the patch but i didn't think controlling the reapers was stupid.

@BunBun2996 жыл бұрын
I'm well aware of that. I was such a thorough player, that I never finished the game with anything less than enough Galactic Readiness than was necessary to get the "best" ending. Especially after the Extended Cut, I find Shepard's survival to be eye rollingly stupid, because they show Shepard drawing breath after the epilogue showing everything fixed, implying that Shepard is still alive in the debris months later after everything had been fixed. The only way Shepard being alive at that point makes any sense in with the Indoctrination Theory. And that is my personal head canon on the subject, and I give Bioware no credit for it, IT was purely a fan theory to fix their broken ending. Also, Shepard dying was not the problem of the ending. Well, it was A problem, but not THE problem. If they'd given Shepard a properly heroic, though unavoidable death, like riding a missile straight into Harbinger killing it and ending the war, then it could have been a good way to go out. In a choice based game series, though, Shepard's survival should have been optional. The real problem was, that the end completely invalidated everything we'd done up to that point, and brought everything back to the bullshit notion that this whole conflict was about AI v organics, when we solved that very problem already, no matter how Rannoch turned out. Also, I don't care what the EC said, destroying the Relays should have ended galactic civilization. I don't just doubt that these things could be repaired, and they can't be. Maybe in the Control and Synthesis endings, the Reapers could do it, but in Destroy, no one left alive has more than a basic understanding of how they work. Repairing them would be impossible for the best engineers alive, and even if we could, we couldn't reach the other relays to repair them. But the Arrival DLC in ME2 established rather spectacularly that destroying a Mass Relay is a Super Nova level event. Meaning that blowing one of these things up destroys the star system that they're in. Earth, Thessia, Rannoch, Tuchanka, Palavan and every other home world of a species that has one of these things in their system would be destroyed. You don't get to establish something this big in one part of your story, and then just ignore it later on because you're trying to be artsy. And being artsy is giving them too much credit, because Casey Hudson just wanted to plagiarizer the ending of Deus Ex.

moon To say nothing of the fact that, of the 3 factions you can choose over your son, 1 is a group of post apocalyptic Nazis, another doesn't care about anything/one other than Synths, and the last dooms you to being Preston's errand boy until you snap and take over a Raider gang or 3.

Yes my favorite ending. Going back to the store to sell/refund Fallout 4.

Your son, who you hardly knew - he was less than a year old when you knew him. YES it was like yesterday to you - but he grew up, he's dying of cancer. you have... really.. a choice to make if you actually want to be attached to him or not. IF not, blowing up the Institute is easy peezy. Oh. And siding with the Minutemen IS a choice. And let's face it.. this iteration of the BoS aren't necessarily rainbows and unicorns. They're xenophobes, afraid of not just ghouls and super mutants but everyones favorite synthetic humans too. They are tough choices, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they're all bad. They can be good, from a certain point of view. You're really over blowing the 'son' thing quite a bit. You literally don't even know the guy.

i mean, it really feels like hollow knight should be on this video. every ending left me feeling sad and just a little bit hopeless, but in a different way
