Do you hate this in video games?
 

Do you hate it when the character you play ends up dead in the end? You beat the entire story and get to the end of it, but then you find out your character dies?

I personally do. Sometimes it feels like everything you did to keep your character alive was a waste. So I avoid all these hazards, beat these enemies, etc and yet he's still going to die in the end?

I don't like it when the playable character is doomed to die in the end, but I do like it when game designers give us a dark look into the "Bad Ending" or "Game Over" details. I've recently been playing Eternal Champions on Sega CD, and that game is famous for its Game Over death scenes.

No because I don't take video games that personally. Its a story. Some games are just vehicles to tell a story. Some don't have happy ends, who cares?

Edit your damn post AT man. Or atleast use spoiler tags for the love of christ.

It depends on how it's executed. Sometimes it actually makes the story a lot better. For example...



It's one of those twist that makes you care for said character more than you thought you did.

That is the least helpful use of a "spoiler tag" that I have ever seen.

Sometimes I wish the character HAD died. Like...

I've never played a video game like that.

I like it when it's left for the player's imagination, like in

edit: UNLESS there will be a sequel.

Honestly, you can't really count on the GOW series anymore considering that

That's why I always play games based on super hero movies and cartoons!

I thought it was because you were an emotionally fragile child that can't handle serious situations.

Also I hate that open ended garbage. Have the balls to put a definitive stamp on your story.

I'm fine with the main character dying if it makes sense/is executed in a way that makes the ending seem well thought out.
