For fairly a while now, avid gamers have been accustomed to online game ending cutscenes that includes sufficient drama and gravitas to rival these of Hollywood’s finest productions. That, nonetheless, doesn’t imply that video video games have completely accomplished away with the enjoyable and surprising comedy that earned this medium the place it occupies in our hearts.

Typically, even probably the most severe of video video games are house to a number of the funniest and most weird endings, and we love them for it.

wacky spoilers beneath

Silent Hill’s UFO ending

For those who dare to enterprise again into Silent Hill after having accomplished the sport as soon as, you could full a fully on the market puzzle to search out out who’s actually pulling the strings within the titular city. Seems it’s aliens.

Though it’s clearly a joke ending, it will get bonus factors for by no means actually letting go of the scary ingredient, from the bizarre noise the UFO makes within the sky after we set off the ending, to the ending the place the primary character simply will get taken into house for who is aware of what otherworldly cause.

Silent Hill 2’s canine ending

The UFO ending within the authentic Silent Hill is superb total, however its biggest energy is its fully surprising nature. Silent Hill 2 additionally has a humorous UFO ending, nevertheless it not catches followers of the collection off guard. The builders have been conscious of that, so that they got here up with an even wackier ending.

Gamers who meet the situations to set off this ending might be handled to a cutscene that reveals that the mastermind behind all of the treachery within the titular city: a cute Shiba Inu pup in an equally cute management room. Wanna know who that canine truly is? Strive studying “canine” backwards, however not earlier than you put together to get your thoughts fully blown by this unimaginable plot twist.

The scene performs as a hilarious palate cleanser to the seriousness of the sport’s story, and the track that performs throughout the finish credit is yet one more masterpiece in sport’s already stellar OST. It’s simply fully unbelievable that this ending got here to be in a pre-Web meme period.

Undertale’s canine ending

Undertale has three totally different endings. The primary is heartwarming, the second is heartbreaking, and the key one is simply one of the best. After the sport’s credit, Sans tells us {that a} canine — that I assume is the “lengthshifting” one we see all through the sport — in some way grew to become the mayor. Sans says that he simply sleeps on the throne, however that issues have been actually good ever since he got here to energy, so no worries.

World Of Horror’s canine ending

I don’t know precisely why so many video games have dog-related endings, however so far as I’m involved, all video games ought to have canine endings. What I like most about World Of Horror’s canine ending is that it has gamers looking out by way of numerous areas for grey-alien like figures to determine its strangest thriller, solely to then have them kidnapped by an excellent superior race of Shiba Inus, the Xenoshibas. To make issues even funnier, this ending concludes with a message saying the story might be continued in Galaxy Of Horror, an clearly made-up sport — or is it?

Metallic Gear Stable 3 is a prequel to the remainder of the collection, and MGS3‘s time paradox endings are occasions that gamers can set off in case they kill a personality that may play an important position in the way forward for the collection. You’re not alleged to kill these characters, however Kojima isn’t the sort of particular person to move on the prospect to put a enjoyable easter egg in his sport. Thus, he crammed the sport with sneaky situations the place you may kill off an essential character and instantly get handled to a Sport Over display screen for just about breaking the universe.

Although these aren’t precise endings of the sport, you may argue that they’re much more particular than the precise ending of the sport, as a result of they fully kill the sport’s continuity.

Essentially the most attention-grabbing half in regards to the time paradoxes is that when you set off them, you’re confronted by Colonel Campbell telling Snake that he simply created a time paradox. Factor is, Campbell solely exhibits up in future video games, so, does this imply MGS3 is definitely Stable Snake reliving the recollections of his “father” Murderer’s Creed fashion? We’ll by no means know.

Nier: Automata’s Mackerel ending

One of many first issues we casually study in regards to the androids we play as in Nier: Automata is that they can not eat Mackerel, because the presence of that particular sort of fish of their bellies will show their demise. That’s attention-grabbing, however whereas we see our androids evolving and turning into ever-more multifaceted killing machines all through the sport, we will’t assist however really feel tempted to go fishing and discovering out whether or not it’s true or only a rumor. Both I’m a part of the conspiracy, or yeah, it’s completely true, and also you shouldn’t eat Mackerel, or your ultra-powerful android might be handled to probably the most humbling ending within the historical past of badass primary characters.

Everlasting Darkness’ faux ending

Because the identify Everlasting Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem suggests, the sport takes particular pleasure with messing with the minds of gamers. As we progress by way of the sport, we’ll be handled to varied cutscenes and animations pertaining to extraordinarily bizarre occasions, however most of these are hallucinations that give this sport its distinctive taste. Certainly one of my favorites leads gamers to consider they’d reached the tip of the sport, then even teases the end result of the story in a made-up sport: Everlasting Darkness: Sanity’s Redemption.

Sadly, a sequel to Everlasting Darkness was certainly within the works for some time, nevertheless it ended up getting cancelled. How I want that was however a intelligent trick the builders at Silicon Knights pulled on us to mess with our sanity.

Far Cry 4’s ending for affected person gamers

Proper at the beginning of Far Cry 4‘s marketing campaign, the villainous Pagan Min kindly welcomes the participant to have a pleasant dinner at his palace, however he’s interrupted by “terrorists” that he must take care of. Earlier than leaving, Min asks gamers to simply look forward to a bit, promising that he’ll assist gamers upon his return. That’s when most gamers attempt to get away from this tyrant, however those that truly keep will see that it is a monster of his phrase. Upon returning, Min will take us on to the place the place we’re supposed to place the primary character’s mom’s ashes, successfully concluding the primary quest.

Parts on this ending nonetheless do allude to the truth that letting a vile dictator off the leash isn’t a great factor for the individuals of the land, however, for gamers who solely care about finishing their very own quest as quickly as attainable, this ending is the best way to go!

Outer World’s literal dumb ending

Fallout video games are well-known for coping with gamers who don’t care a lot for his or her intelligence in hilarious trend. Outer Worlds, being the religious successor to the previous Fallout video games that it’s, goes even additional. On prime of assorted humorous dialogue choices that pop up within the playthroughs of gamers with low intelligence attributes, Outer Worlds options an precise ending the place gamers can, towards all higher judgement, determine to make a shortcut to their vacation spot that goes by way of the Solar. Spoilers: it goes nearly in addition to you’d count on.

Silent Hill Homecoming’s UFO ending

Oh, have been you anticipating yet one more canine ending? Nope. It’s time for an additional UFO ending. This time it’s the joke ending of Silent Hill Homecoming, the sport that attempted to observe the footsteps of the superior UFO endings within the authentic collection, and ended up getting one of many funniest ones however fully accidentally.

One rule of joke endings in Silent Hill is that you just’d by no means get them throughout your first playthrough. Trying to find your daughter or girlfriend for hours on finish, solely to finish up along with your character twisted up with aliens and seeing no closure to their story would simply make for a very unusual first playthrough. Homecoming says screw that and makes it completely attainable for the primary character to get beamed up right into a spaceship and brought to house.

It’s a horrible ending, however I simply can’t assist however to chuckle on the irony of an ending that’s meant to be humorous however that solely finally ends up ruining the sport for everybody.
