as Magneto once said very funny Paul or
rather welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down the top 10
video games where you die at the end oh
my god they killed it for this list we
looked at games where the protagonist
spends the credits in the afterlife
all I remember is what I have lost we
tried to avoid characters who may be
alive according to the game’s sequel and
characters whose deaths are questionable
we’re looking at you Kratos just a heads
up this list is full of super duper
spoilers and all around sad feels so
proceed with caution
number 10 la var
with a game that uses film noir elements
it’s no surprise that everything ends on
a sad note we’re gathered here the honor
detective Cole Phelps you play as Cole
Phelps a former marine turned LAPD
officer as Phelps you move through the
ranks of the police department that is
until you have an affair ruin your
reputation and get demoted what were you
thinking what about our children can you
imagine what this has been like for them
don’t worry the final case will surely
redeem your character except for the
part where you die in a violent rush of
water
at least you get honored at your funeral
who never lost his faith in the LAPD and
the system human little is mentally
number-9 Mass Effect 3 Joker listen we
have to go how to piss fans off a Mass
Effect novella everyone knows about the
outrage over the ending to this trilogy
so much so that an extended cut had to
be released to make things right the war
is over and the Reapers are hoping to do
all that aside the three endings of
Bioware’s grand sci-fi adventure still
end with the death of lead character
Commander Shepard unless you pick a
certain ending and have a high enough
ems rating in the extended cut still
canonically speaking shepard is dunzo
but he sure did have a good run saving
the galaxy and all tell me another story
about the shepherd it’s getting late
but okay number eight slender the eight
pages
what are these pages why are you
collecting them why are you in the woods
approximately none of these questions
are answered as you pray that your
flashlight doesn’t die but that’s why
creepy blank-faced men in black made
sequels right
before a slender the arrival came to be
gamers were brought on this quest where
even if you get all eight pages and beat
the game Slenderman still shows up so
what was the point to scare the pants
off you
duh number seven persona 3 what is he
doing nothing like spending your school
year going to class making friends
killing shadows and sacrificing your
life to prevent the end of days and then
at long last I will rule over the new
world but that’s exactly what this
silent protagonist does even sadder as
you play the later titles in the persona
franchise you’re reminded about this
tragic turn of events my dear sister do
you think I can save that person however
there is a non canon ending where you
and your friends forget everything and
enjoy a relaxing life until the final
countdown you can either die protecting
everyone or die singing karaoke it’s up
to you
thank you number 6 BioShock Infinite
thousands of doors
Oh at once we think the Bioshock
franchise has something against letting
its protagonist live we lose lead
protagonist Booker DeWitt in this game
and the female lead Elizabeth dies in
the expansion burial at sea hey
something can go sure and let’s not
forget subject Delta in Bioshock 2 while
the main character death Bioshock you
will always be with me now father
however Booker’s demise is particularly
memorable since it’s for the greater
good as he is both protagonist and
antagonist and be born again gotta love
those alternate realities that allow for
endless loops of misery until you let
yourself be drowned good times
number five Shadow of the Colossus
there are tragedies and then there’s
this you have to take out 16 colossi to
revive a girl named mo no or at least
that’s what the disembodied entity
doorman tells you don’t worry he’s
completely trustworthy he’s just making
plans to possess you at the end of your
quest yah Delilah Ludo Luca fellow union
in the end you’re possessed by doorman
killed by a lord named Eman and his men
and consumed by a whirlwind of light the
kicker
Mona wakes up afterwards looks like
Romeo and Juliet got off easy
number four crisis core final fantasy
seven there’s not a final fantasy fan
out there who doesn’t know Cloud Strife
as such all the fans know about Zac fair
the guy who gave cloud that iconic
Buster Sword and boy did he go out
fighting come and get it
someone at Square Enix must have thought
let’s have a game where Zacks the main
character and to see his life flash
before his eyes we can get even more
attached to him before he dies Springs
about where am i coming for you like
you’ve been there sir Foley I was
showing my god nothing else out right
because we all handled aerith’s deaths
so well thanks square-enix
number three halo reach for you had
already passed the torch and because of
you we found him the heroic sacrifice
certainly isn’t a new trope however this
game was a bit cruel with it the pillar
of autumn we’re away your character
noble six stays behind on the planet
reach to make sure the pillar of autumn
leaves safely this is what starts the
events of the original halo which is
where we thought the game would end
unless you’re playing legendary you get
to play through that suicide mission
with one objective survive spoiler alert
you don’t
oh and this is after the credits roll
we’re supposed to relax after the
credits not die number two the Walking
Dead Season one no no no that’s that’s
not no you didn’t think that this game
was gonna end on a high note did you as
Lee Everett you meet a young girl named
Clementine after the walkers attack you
need quiet you to form a bond and well
you know what kind of list this is right
in the end you have a choice in regards
to Lee’s heartbreaking ending you can
either have Clementine leave him be
which means he’ll become a walker or you
can have her kill him no you please
we’re beginning to think that Kleenex
goes hand in hand with bullets these
days before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions he is dead
and a great warrior will be born one
that will lead our people out of
darkness and show them the way to the
promised land can you hear them
they are calling yours it’s beautiful
number one Red Dead Redemption get out
of here go find a place to hide speaking
of Kleenex and bullets that could have
been the title for the number one on our
list the government promises john
marston that he can see his family again
if he kills sixteen colossi i mean if he
kills his old gang sorry we’re getting
our tragedies mixed up that’s a paradox
john marston does as he’s told and sees
his family again and is promptly shot
down by the government
afterwards control switches to your wife
and son where you ride back to see the
bloody aftermath at least your son gets
some sweet sweet revenge in the very end
do you agree with our list what hell
looks like is there a protagonists death
that we should have unburied sure this
is what you want for more tragic and not
so tragic top 10s published daily be
