TLOU2, imagine making a game that tries to make the player feel bad for their decisions while taking away player agency, and having the protagonist kill so many people through the game just to get cold feet at the very end

Bet you the last person Ellie killed is wishing she figured out the overdone ReVeNgE iZ bAd! Trope Before killing them.

Like one streamer said when he finished the game: This is like a choose your own adventure game, but the game picked all the worst choices for you.

Probably one of the old SNES/Genesis games that were hard AF and when you beat the last level, a screen comes up that says, "You saved the word! Congrats!"

*roll credits*

Close. How about NES with this gem of an ending from Rampage.

Oh, shit, I forget about it until you reminded me. There was an indie game I don't remember the name of where you go into a room (it might be where the last boss is supposed to be or it might just be a random room) and it suddenly pops up with a text box telling you what happens. They ran out of money.

@pegusus123456

I posted the video for that game at #9

Super Mario World

That ending screen with Mario, Luigi, and Peach needs a final note to bring the tension of the first two to a close

But it doesn't

It's like ending the Happy Birthday song with "to" and no "you"

Not sure whether Oblivion or Skyrim is worse. Skyrim's is lazy, ugly, and boring.

Oblivion's is so horribly broken that it can be nigh unplayable, depending on things playerside. Who thought that was a good idea? Legendary FPS nightmare

There were actually hints about that stuff through most of the intro and story after, but it was entirely behavior based. Didn't really get spelled out.

I disagree.

I liked Ichiban and his friends, and some of the lower stakes stuff earlier on, like trying to find jobs, but the whole conspiracy stuff, like the other Yakuzas have, dragged things down, for me.

The concept of Eternal Sonata is that youre in a dream world of Chopin the famous composer as he's on his deathbed. There's standard fantasy rpg story going on. Then it just kind of ends close to a conclusion to some warring kingdoms stuff because it's time for Chopin to die irl

I've said it many times before and I'll stay it again, that kind of twist just isn't the kind of thing you introduce into a jrpg series already 3 games in at that point. (SO1, SO2, and blue sphere). As someone that loved SO2's plot for the most part I also cannot stand SO3's twist. Like you can introduce this twist into any jrpg series where the games are either directly or distantly linked plotwise in someway (and is already multiple games in of course) and it will almost always come up freaking stupid (obvious exception to games that already deal with it being a video game and played by gamers like with .hack). Lufia 1 and 2, make a lufia 3 where its all a mmo played by 4D beings. Do it again for theoretical mother 4, retcon shadow hearts 3 for this after koudelka and shadow hearts 1 n' 2 (although some might see this as an improvement, lol), valkyria chronicles 5, etc.

Imagine if you were someone who really loved mother 3 and the wild ride lucas went through, a mother 4 comes out, and it goes with that kind of twist in yep...its totally canon, happens directly after mother 3.......yeah, thats how some of we SO2 fans feel.

I feel like it would have been better received if something like that was done right from the very beginning instead of randomly going to that from all the lore building from the first three games. Even then, because of the time when SO3 was made, to me it still comes off as just a rip-off of the matrix with a few things flipped around thus it ain't even as "deep" that some jrpg fans think it is.
I don't want to be that guy, but the whole point of SO3 is that it doesn't matter if they're actually characters in a video game because you still care about them. Believe it or not, Star Ocean 2 was a video game all along before 3 came along! You played through it, even! If it was revealed tomorrow that we were unambiguously, 100% part of a simulation, absolutely nothing should change, because what happens in this world still matters. Star Ocean 3 is explicitly about this, and being mad at it for that shows an enormous lack of understanding of the game.
