Line 1: {{trope}} {{Video Game Examples Need Sorting}} Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include: == Subpages == {{subpages}} == Other Examples, that need to be sorted by genre == * ''[[Infamous (video game series)\|In Famous]]'': The good ending to the original game sees Cole having stopped Kessler, but having to prepare for The Beast alone, what with his girlfriend dead, his best friend turned a traitor, and the whole disaster pinned on him by Moya. Line 182 ⟶ 189: Even the [[Golden Ending]] is arguably bittersweet. You've killed the Collectors, but hundreds of the most powerful star-battleships ever devised are coming to wipe out all advanced life in the galaxy: {{quote\|'''Harbinger:''' Human. You have changed nothing.}} *: Factor in Arrival, where {{spoiler\|the Reapers invasion is halted, but at the cost of 300,000 lives.}} : Discounting the other eight potential endings, even if you did absolutely everything, complete with [[100% Heroism Rating]] and [[100% Completion]], [[Mass Effect 3]] gives you three final options on how to deal with the Reapers. These are given to you by {{spoiler\|The Catalyst, the controlling intelligence behind the Reapers, which lives in/as the Citadel.}} *: "Control", in which {{spoiler\|Shepard takes control of the Reapers to order them to leave. However, to do this means his death, as well as the destruction of the Mass Relays which will send out signal. The galaxy will be spared, but it's uncertain when or if the remaining citizens will make it back to Mass Relay-levels of technology, and it is unclear whether the Reapers will return or war between Synthetics and Organics will resurge.}} *: "Destruction", in which {{spoiler\|Shepard destroys The Catalyst, sending out a wave that will destroy all synthetics in the galaxy. The Reapers, as well as the Geth and EDI will die, and galactic civilization will go into a dark age with all of the Mass Relays destroyed. However, this is the only ending where Shepard seems to survive, if the Effective Military Strength rating is high enough.}} *: "Synthesis", [[Take a Third Option\|the third option]], in which {{spoiler\|Shepard sacrifices himself to introduce his DNA to [[MacGuffin\|the Crucible]], sending out a wave through the Mass Relay network that transforms all life, both synthetic and organic, into hybrids of the two. Changed and with their reason for invasion gone, the Reapers retreat.}} *: In all three options, galactic life is pretty much guaranteed to take a hit, but as the [[Distant Finale]] shows, life will go on and the races of the galaxy will recover. * By the end of ''[[The Darkness]]'', you've successfully killed Paulie and Shrote. But [[Love Interest\|Jenny]] is dead, and at the cost of your sould belonging to The Darkness forever. And you're allowed one last meeting with Jenny, before you're seperated from her forever. ** The sequel has Jackie tearing his way through hell to find Jennie and finally after two years of guilt and depression only for Jennie to become the host of the Angelus and abandon Jackie and the Darkness to hell. Line 305 ⟶ 312: * [[Dragon's Dogma]] ends with {{spoiler\|the Arisen who became the Senechal and might continue to fight until another Arisen bests them. However, they stabbed themselves with the Godsbane sword, killing themselves. In the end, however, the cycle is broken, your pawn has a chance to live as a human being just like Serene by being you and Gransys is recovering.}} * The True End of ''[[Lust Grimm]]'' has everyone who was trapped in the book released. However, this means that the player character and Little Red Riding Hood will never meet again. * ''[[Battle Golfer Yui]]''{{'}}s Good ending: Yui has put a stop to Prof G.'s ambitions and saved Ran. In the process of doing so, Yui accidentally activates the nuclear bomb underneath the golf course, killing 20,000 people and injuring countless others. It is unknown if Yui and Ran has survived or not. At least, Black Hazard is stopped. {{tropesubpagefooter}} ~~{{reflist}}~~ ~~[[Category:Bittersweet Ending]]~~
