Nonstandard Game Over: Difference between revisions

** In ''Rogue Leader'', it's possible to get a unique game over by running out of torpedoes in the attack on the Death Star.

* ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'' has quite a few of these. If you let Zsasz see you when he has the guard in the electric chair, true to his word, he electrocutes him. If Batman is in Joker Venom for too long, he laughs himself to death. If Batman doesn't set off his trap for Killer Croc, we are treated to a first-person shot of Croc lunging to his head, [[Gory Discretion Shot|along with the sound of bones getting crushed]]. There are several more examples, but one of the more humorous ones is when Zsasz has {{spoiler|Dr. Young}} trapped in his arms, if you are seen, miss your batarang, or if you wait too long, Zsasz kills her, with the Joker mocking you.

** In ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'', {{spoiler|after Catwoman successfully loots Hugo Strange's vault, she gets the option of either going to save Batman (who has just been captured by TYGER) or [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|escaping with her loot]]. Doing the latter cuts to the credits where you hear a message from Oracle saying how the Joker rampaged through Gotham, Gordon is dead, Wayne Manor has been compromised and that [[The Bad Guys Win]]. The game then rewinds all the way back to the choice and makes the player choose to save Batman.}}

* In ''[[EVO Search for Eden|E.V.O.: Search For Eden]]'', several bosses ask you to join them (the "Tyrasaurs" at the end of the dinosaur stage, the Birdman King in the first mammal stage, and the boss Rogon in the final stage). Saying "yes" results in a short (and usually somewhat comedic) ending, then puts you back on the world map.

** In ''[[Suikoden V]]'', if you accept Salum Barows' suggestion of taking the throne for yourself instead rescuing the rightful heir, you'll get a cutscene where said heir is informed that you were assassinated.

*** If you fail to defeat Roy in a duel, you're put into a coma from the injuries, and your group forces Roy to take your place, but soon the army's overrun, the last line in that ending:

** In the [[Gaiden Game]] ''[[Suikoden Tierkreis]]'', if you choose to {{spoiler|agree with the plan to sacrifice all of the Starbearers to stop The One King}}, this will result in {{spoiler|the main character becoming the new One King instead}}. On the other hand, this also provides more information about the ''Tierkreis'' world.

* Lanpshaded/Inverted in ''[[Eversion]]'', where "GAME OVER" shows on your screen {{spoiler|sometimes, as the "READY!" screen after you get to X-5 or later.}}

** Retained in ''Return of the Invaders'' but averted in ''Super Space Invaders '91'' because of the difficulty of the differing formations in each wave: you simply die and the playfield is reset, minus any Invaders you destroyed previously.

* In ''Devastators'', not only does this happen if you run out of time, but it actually tells you straight out before each mission:

* ''Fallout'' has one. If you choose to reveal Vault 13's location to the Lieutenant, a cinematic plays where your character is dipped in the vats (becoming a Super Mutant), Vault 13's citizens are captured to befall a similar fate, and the Overseer is violently killed by mutant invaders.

** Fallout and Fallout 2 also have a built-in time limit - if this is ever reached, a small cinematic with the words "THE END" plays and the game quits back to the title screen. It takes about thirteen years of game time though, so it's really no bother unless you're actively seeking it out.
