Getting the ending right for a video game should be easy – it’s effectively the crescendo to all the story-telling set up till that point. And while some of us may agree or disagree on the best ways to end a story, a good ending takes everything to account and produce a result that’s within believable means. Then there are the games which just don’t know how to end, rendering hours and hours upon story-telling into one big pile of “Meh”. Let’s take a look at 15 such titles here.

Blair Witch

Protagonist Ellis suffers from PTSD and enters the haunted woods to locate a missing boy named Peter. As it turns out, he’s been constantly seeing the face of a girl that he failed to save during the war, not to mention being haunted by the his comrades that died by his negligence. He enters the infamous house from the first film and kind of has to avoid shining a flashlight on a creature who may or may not be the Blair Witch? Long story short, Ellis dies. Peter could be discovered safe depending on the player’s actions or be killed. The only really important detail is that Bullet survives. That’s it.

Video games have a tendency to turn the tables on their audiences for some truly surprising twists and turns, and often, these take the form of reveals that the character we’d been playing as all along and thought was the good guy had inadvertently been doing the wrong things all along. In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at games that did exactly that.

Do note that there will be spoilers ahead for every game we speak about, so if we begin talking about a game you don’t want spoiled, skip ahead to the next entry.

METAL GEAR SOLID 2

We all love a good conspiracy theory, and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty threw the mother of conspiracy theories at us when it revealed to us the true nature of the Illuminati-like Patriots. What was even more of a gut-punch, though, was the realization that Raiden had inadvertently been functioning like a pawn for them all along, with the reveal that the entire Big Shell Incident was orchestrated by the Patriots just as a means to facilitate the S3 Plan and mould Raiden into their very own Solid Snake replica.

15 Strange Ways Video Games Tried Stopping You From Playing

Video games are truly interesting creations. As much as developers want you to play a game, they also introduce creative methods to halt less-than-moral ways of playing it. Of course, some games tend to halt your progress in creative ways, even if you ultimately find a way through. Let’s take a look at 15 insane ways video games tried to stop you from playing.

No Faith – Mirror’s Edge

In a game that’s primarily about parkour, what happens when the protagonist can’t effectively rim? Such was the anti-piracy measure introduced in Mirror’s Edge. Every time Faith is close to a jump, she’ll slow down. This makes it impossible to go anywhere past the opening rooftop in the first stage. At least there’s the gorgeous view to admire.

Ever encountered a boss that you couldn’t beat by thwacking, slashing or shooting it a bunch? Did you ever need a eureka moment or the aid of some little trick to properly vanquish a foe for good? Such boss fights are more common than you’d think so let’s look at 15 bosses that you’ll never beat without a hidden trick or two.

Fool’s Idol – Demon’s Souls

Generally considered one of the easier bosses in Demon’s Souls, the Fool’s Idol has her fair share of tricks. She’s surrounded by prisoners and can create fake clones to throw you off. While the trick to beating her is to identify the right Idol, there is one more wrinkle to take care. There’s actually a prisoner who will keep healing the boss so it’s best to find and kill him beforehand before taking on the boss.
