Break the Cutie/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* [[Lux-Pain]] has, well, just about everyone in the main cast. [[The Hero|Atsuki]], [[Cheerful Child|Natsuki]] and [[Broken Ace|Hibiki]] were broken in their backstories. During the game, this happens to two of the female leads: [[Genki Girl|Mika]], who was {{spoiler|targeted by a serial killer (twice) causing Officer Mako Ando to be fatally wounded, and her best friend sent to the hospital}}, [[The Chick|Yayoi]] who {{spoiler|is driven mad by a mind parasite causing her to be jealous of her sister. She also tried to consult with a bunch of people she met online who were suicidal, but they ended up killing themselves.}} A few other Cuties, both male and female, end up snapping, like [[The Big Guy|Akira]], [[Meganekko|Sayuri]], [[Defective Detective|Yui]], [[Hospital Hottie|Honoka]], and the list goes on. Forget curing Silent, that entire town needs one big hug.

* Poor Guybrush Threepwood. He starts off as [[Adorkable]] and happy-go-lucky in ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'', but then {{spoiler|1=he sees his wife Elaine seemingly willing to trust a human LeChuck over Guybrush's objections.}} As if that wasn't bad enough, {{spoiler|1=he ends up getting his hand cut off by Morgan LeFlay; breaks down in grief after failing to protect her from being fatally stabbed by LeChuck; gets stabbed in the back (and [[In the Back|in the chest]]) twice (or maybe three times if you count the Voodoo Lady); and suffers a [[Heroic BSOD]] when it looks like Elaine has done a complete [[Face Heel Turn]] to leave him for LeChuck. It all ends with one [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|terribly brutal beatdown]] from LeChuck that leaves zombie Guybrush in such physical agony he can't even joke anymore. [[The Woobie|The poor dear]] really just needed a hug at the end.}}

* {{spoiler|Dehl}}'s [[Dark and Troubled Past]] in ''[[The Reconstruction]]'' has this, ''in spades''. Possibly subverted, though, as it's part of the [[Backstory]] that is only revealed near the end of the game; most of what we see of him is after the fact.

** Happens to {{spoiler|Xopi}} as well, who, as {{spoiler|another Sikohlon child}}, is quite identical to how {{spoiler|Dehl}} used to be.
