Nice Job Breaking It, Hero/Video Games: Difference between revisions

*** Since it's a world full of demons, how is them killing eachother a bad thing?

* ''[[Exmortis]] 2'' has you free the Earth from the reign of the Exmortis horde... {{spoiler|only for their leader, who set you up for this mission to begin with, to take their place as ruler.}} And, to rub it in, he says this:

''{{spoiler|(Suddenly, you're face to face with Vlaew, and the screen goes black. A scream echoes from nowhere.)''}}

* ''[[Odin Sphere]]'' is the story of five different heroes who ''completely and royally screw everything up''. Cornelius escapes from the Underworld {{spoiler|alongside an evil now-undead king who wants to cause the apocalypse}}, Gwendolyn brings back her dead love by killing the Queen of the Dead {{spoiler|and allowing an also-now-undead monster to take control of the Underworld and attack the world of the living}}, Mercedes saves her kingdom by destroying the Demon King's most powerful weapon {{spoiler|that was made specifically to fight against the forces of the apocalypse}}, Oswald kills anyone else who might be able to help, and pretty much everybody fails to keep safe the ring that can control a machine capable of draining the life force from the planet. To add insult to injury, this was apparently foreseen, as there is a prophecy involved that you have to follow during the final boss fight to get {{spoiler|the ending where [[Adam and Eve Plot|two people (and the pooka) actually survive]]}}.

* ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' is made of this. At the end of ''Soul Reaver 2'', Kain discovers that his "edge of the coin" is precisely what the bad guys had been hoping for. Fortunately for him, they weren't quite as omniscient as they thought.
