Creepy Bad Endings # 1

With video 666 closer than I'd like, I've developed a taste for the dark lately. As a result, I've started this new series, showcasing, in my opinion, the scariest, most unpleasant and cruel bad endings in video games of all time.

Bad Endings. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. Just when the hero(es) thought everything was finally right, just when it looked like peace had finally returned to the world/city/etc, something had to happen that, at best, creates a bitter sweet victory and, at worst, spoils everything and the enemies win after all your struggles. Sure, Game Overs CAN be scary too, but more often than not, all you'll get when you run out of lives is a simple "Game Over" message, possibly with the option to try again. Bad endings don't give you any second chances, you screwed things up for everyone and you must pay dearly...

The Easy Mode ending really isn't a BAD ending, it's basically an ending telling you to stop being a wimp and try the game on a harder setting.

@Kojain It still creeped me out when I first saw it years ago.

[huangkl]

It was just 6:33 long, why are you talking about the 10 minute limit?

[whoisthisgit]

@huangkl Because I didn't want part 2 to be much shorter.

[MariaElenaHall]

That's not the bad ending, that's a neutral ending. Neither the goodies nor the baddies win, and the ending shows a possibility of starting all over again.

The second video of this series is a real bad ending example. It shows clearly that you messed everything up and you must therefore pay the consequences...

[whoisthisgit]

@MariaElenaHall These first two videos are two-parts of the same video, back in the dark times when no-one could upload videos longer than 11 minutes. The second part is called "Creepy Bad Endings # 2" because I just know "Creepy Bad Endings # 1, Part 2" wouldn't gain nearly as many views.

I have two theories why mr X looks like that in the bad endings.

1. It's kinda like an alternate reality. If the player one of the bad endings it's probably his first time playing. Therefore he wouldn't exactly know what Mr X looked like. 2. The characters in the game don't know what Mr X looks like and that was just their IMAGINATION.

Actually, I think X is so happy right here, that he's all "YEEEEEEEEESSS!" and doesn't realize he's squeezing the glass until... BANG! "OW, DAMMIT! MY HAND!"

I agree with all these vids, but also, I would say the creepiest/saddest video game ending Ive ever seen, is the one on cave story/doukutsu monogatari, it haves about 4 bad endings and 1 good ending, it depends in the options you choose along the game, changing one thing can change the ending :P

[NoctournalDonut]

Mr. X? Maximillion Pegasus called; he wants his hair back...

[StudioAREshorts]

Do spy hunter. And i mean the new-Ish version

This series... creepy bad endings... I know what will be haunting all of my dreams from now on - I am now official disturbed. But your commentary is excellent, the video quality is just great, and the concept is original and well pulled-off. Kudos. I am going to go and cry in pillow now.

dead rising has some pretty brutal bad endings

[ilikeGorillaz1]

@zurc54321 the remake is the bloodiest game to date too!

[zurc54321]

hey try splatter house 3 its pretty hard to get a good ending, i played it for days trying to get a good ening

[demonicanthonyalbert]

@Kojain Yet if you beat it on Easy in the Japanese version you will still get the normal ending depending who you saved, or not saved.
