In video games, there is always an ending that is left to leave the player satisfied. The good guy wins, wins the girl, rides off into the sunset, the whole good ending stuff. But, then there are the endings that are portrayed por your actions and what you do. Sure, you may have been a prick to everyone, but at least you win in the end. But, then there are the endings that are so bad, that you just can’t help but feel disappointed in yourself for getting an ending like that. So, today, I will talk about the most awful bad endings in video games. First, when I say bad endings, I don’t mean the endings suck, I mean these are the endings that you get for making poor choices, and the game is punishing you for it. Next, I am only including games that I have played. Also, only one game per franchise. And last, this list contains massive spoilers. I honestly didn’t think I had to say that, but, there is the warning anyway. So, yeah, spoilers ahead. So, with that said, lets start the list

#5: Metal Gear Solid - For anyone who has played Metal Gear Solid, we all know of Snakes partner, Meryl Silverburgh. Whoever, some of you may not know that she can actually die in the game. You see, the only way to get this bad ending is if you fail the torture scene. However, it is very simple to pass the torture scene, because… well, how could anyone not press the X button. It’s kinda easy, really. Anyway, if you fail, and after the final boss fight with Liquid, you will then see that Meryl is dead and you couldn’t save her. And now, instead of leaving with Meryl, you leave with… Otacon... Um… okay? And if you didn’t think that was bad enough, Otacon then gives us a talk about how we all have to deal with death. I mean, COME ON. Isn’t it bad enough that I just killed a major character? Thankfully, this isn’t the canon ending, so, that’s a plus, right?

#4: Far Cry 3 - So, throughout the game, the character you play as, Jason Brody, is on a mission to save his brother and friends from a psychotic group of pirates. As you continue, you will meet Citra, who helps you become a warrior. And after you’ve saved your friends and taken care of the pirates, Citra will then give you a choice. You can leave the island with your friends, or you can kill them and become a warrior. Of course, the choice is obvious here… unless you wanted to save your friends for nothing, in which case, you decide to slice your friends throats. But, I’m sure it was all worth it. I mean, Jason does get to sleep with Citra…. right before she stabs him in the chest and kills him…. In hindsight this wasn’t a very good choice to make.

#3: Dead Rising 3 - In Dead Rising 3, you play as Nick… That name sounds familiar…. Anyway, throughout the game, Nick and a group of other major characters try to leave the city to avoid being killed in the bombing that is about to take place, while also trying to prove that Hemlock, the games main antagonist, caused the outbreak. Once you get through most of the cases in the game, your last goal is to gather everyone together and head to the plane so you can escape the city. Or, you can get a pretty bad ending like Ending D. In this ending, Nick goes out of his original character as a man who will fight for his friends, and just decides it is every man for himself. However, the other survivors aren’t having any of it. They then knock Nick to the ground, board the plane, and leave him for dead. Just seeing Nick be ridiculed and left to die por his friends is bad enough, but it only gets worse when the game tells you that zombie outbreaks occurred all over America, as Hemlock planned. Man, this game really knows how to punish you for your poor choices.

#2: Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee - Now, this was a very funny game. And, let me tell you, it doesn’t stop being funny even at the good ending. But what about the bad ending? Is there any humor to be found there? Well, to get the bad ending, Abe and Munch have to leave behind hundreds of Fuzzles and scrubs to be slaves in mines. Once you do, you will then be met with Fuzzles, who are now deformed due to the experiments that were done on them. The Fuzzles then attack Abe and Munch and sound the alarm. After which, Abe’s head is placed on the mural as a trophy, while the Vykkers slice open Munch to collect his lungs for the Glukkon Queen, leading to Munch dying. And if that isn’t bad enough, if you have Black Quarma, a device in the game that shows how good you are, you will see that the last can of Gabaar, a can that contained the last eggs of Munch’s species, was eaten, and the labor eggs of Abe’s people have hatched, creating a new generation of slaves for the Glukkons. So, Abe and Munch are dead, Munch’s race is extinct, and Abe’s people are enslaved once again. And up to this point, this was a very funny game.

#1: Persona 4 Golden - I am just going to warn you right now, I won’t just spoil the ending. I will be spoiling EVERYTHING in Persona 4 Golden. So, if you do not want to see what this ending has in store, than I suggest that you stop leitura this artigo right now. But, if you are still going to keep reading, then okay. Throughout the entire game, Yu and his friends are trying to stop the person who is kidnapping and killing people. The killer has been throwing people into the TV world, which seems like an attempt to kill them. You will then see that Nanako, Yu’s young cousin, has been kidnapped por a man named Namatame, and has taken her to the TV world. After you beat him in a boss fight, he is sent to the hospital, where he then tells you that he is responsible for the kidnappings, but not the murders. After which, you will then see that a thick fog has surrounded the city of Inaba. So, you continue your investigation. Once you soon found out what is going on, you then figure out that Adachi, Dojima’s partner, is the killer. And, yes, he is. He then takes you to the TV world, where you must fight him in a boss fight, which leads to another boss fight with Ameno-Sagiri, the God of Fog, who says that the fog is made to turn everyone in the world into Shadows. Now, why am I telling you all this. So you can better understand how awful the Accomplice Ending is. Once you go see Adachi, you will then begin saying that he is the killer. At first, he will take it as a joke, until you tell him that you are on the killers side. After this, Adachi will come back with a threat letter that was sent to Yu that Adachi forgot to send to Forensics. Adachi then hands you a lighter, and gives you a choice. And if you choose to burn it, you will then see that Adachi was the killer, and laughs, as that letter was the last piece of evidence to prove who the killer was, and you just destroyed it, and that the truth of the case is forever gone. Sure, this lets you form the strongest bond possible with Adachi, but at what cost. Well, after this, you will skip to the end of the year, where you will have to leave Inaba. Here, the fog is still bad, and everyone is now in a state of sadness. And you can definitely feel it. But, that’s not bad enough. On the train ride home, Yu then see’s Adachi out his window, who gives an evil grin, showing how they will meet again. Oh, and remember what I said about the fog, that turns people into Shadows and would destroy all humanity. Yeah, that’s still around. In other words, you doomed humanity. And when you compare this to the good ending, where you have clear blue skies, and everyone is all happy and Nevermore plays, you then see that this ending is one of the hardest to watch in any video game out there.

Well, there you have it. Did you enjoy the list? Tell me what you thought of it below. With that said, I will see you all seguinte time
