Message: [QUOTE="Ian Naxieas, post: 65223, member: 4966"] I thought of more endings rather quickly! Dun dun dunnnn. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth does not end on a happy note, as is the standard with most Cthulhu stories. Even if you manage to get the full ending, it changes nothing. Mad Max has probably the least happy ending to all the Mad Max media, except for the first film I suppose. All of Max's main allies are dead and he's left alone once more. At least he got his car back I guess? Amnesia: The Bunker has probably the least happy ending of the series. Well, you can get worse endings in other games, but you can also get good endings in those games. The Bunker just ends with Henri (and possibly the Beast) escaping and gets found by German soldiers. He is not on Germany's side. Oof. I guess it's ambiguous, being a POW isn't certain death, but that's some real bad luck. Dead Space 3 is kind of a stinky game to begin with (though I don't hate it as much as most fans), but it ends on a bit of a downer. Ellie (somehow) survived and it seems Isaac and Carver died stopping the moon (yes the moon is the final boss, it makes sense in context). However if you play the Awakened DLC you find out Isaac and Carver survived. They make it back to the derelict flotilla and get the Terra Nova working, jumping to Earth. Their joy is short lived when they discover the planet under attack by many other moons, thus ending the series on either a cliffhanger or with the end of humanity. Obviously it was meant to be a cliffhanger, but the game didn't sell a trillion copies so EA killed the franchise. The (pointless) 2023 remake of the first game didn't sell a trillion copies either, so I think it's pretty safe to assume the series is dead, unless a comic or book or something comes along to wrap it up. Probably for the best. Even if the series ends with the extinction of humanity, it's fitting for the name. Everything truly is dead space then. (Forgotten) Siren doesn't really end on a happy note either. Harumi makes it back to the real world, but the surviving three characters are stuck in the underworld forever. At least Kyoya continues the good fight against the underworld and I do remember reading that one of the developers said Tamon and Yoriko go off to have adventures in the underworld. Finally, XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within. "But Ian, that has a perfectly super duper happy ending you stupid furry!" It does, yes, but the good ending is meaningless because XCOM is [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoomedByCanon']Doomed by Canon[/URL] to fail, due to the second game taking place after the failure to repel the aliens in the first game. So humanity is in for some dark times before XCOM remerges. BONUS ROUND! Silent Hill: Origins! Sure, Travis survives and all is well, but then you realize that nothing of value was explained or happened in the entire game and you just got six hours closer to your death playing the game for nothing. Unless you're into fursuits. [ATTACH type="full"]22149[/ATTACH] [automerge]1738814118[/automerge] Oh, I almost forgot! Any Warhammer 40,000 game. No matter who or what was beaten, it's still grimdark, eternal war, etc. I'm sure you could tell a good personal story in the 40k universe, but I haven't seen it in a game yet. [/QUOTE]
