In Katana Zero at one point a villain offers you a chance to die before a progressive condition causes you to be permanently trapped experiencing a single infinitely long moment. Sounded like a good deal, took it, and never bothered to get any other ending.

Made the same choice in my first playthrough of 2077. It seemed the thing the person i was roleplaying would do. Didn't start a new game untill the recent patch dropped.

Sad part with that is you miss like the final 1/3 of the game.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I also got this ending but you can keep playing from there... what a great game, waiting for DLC :)

In Far Cry 4 >!you can just wait for Pagan Min (the antagonist) at the very beginning of the game. He lets you spread your Mom's ashes and leave in peace.!<

All the Far Cry games have hidden endings like this. In the latest one when you get a boat for the first time you can just fuckin leave.

Only 4, 5 and 6 has alternate endings as far as I know. Seems like they only include them in the main games.

I guess Eternity just doesn't aknowledge spoilers what so ever. Neither seem to be working

In Nier Automata, dying in first mission will immediately show one of the ending which also include credit scene

And it fucking sucks. You have to redo maybe around 30 minutes again to even get to the real game. After some google everyone recommends to just lower to easiest difficulty for that. Still leaves bitter taste.

(I know and I don't care if there's lore reason)

Nier Automata is one of my top 3 favorite games of all time but I agree with you. The beginning sequence sucks.

That isn't a speedrun, if you meet the antagonist early on, it's nearly always scripted and you can't die.

Well, unless it's Dagoth Ur, he wait at you at all times. Whenever you're ready, Nerevar. Come to him, though fire and war. Fastest speedrun was like not even 10 minutes.

Fastest speedrun was like not even 10 minutes.

And that was to beat him. Just reaching him and dying to him should go substantially faster:

  • get levitation potions/scrolls
  • grab Icarian Flight
  • have some form of suped speed enhancement (cumulative potions, Boots of Blinding Speed etc.)
  • carefully aim north of Ghost Gate and hop
  • rush through Dagoth Ur (location) into Facility Chamber
  • whack ol' Three Eyes and have him demolish you

Yup, don't need most of the alchemy you would need to not die from Kagrenac Tools.

Gigachad Planescape Torment: Every ending is a bad ending.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, isn't The Lady of Pain involved in that one, or am I thinking of another game? She tends to make things.... unpleasant.

🤔 How would people feel if they were playing a game where the antagonist actually was absolutely right, like a hero antagonist, and it wasn't immediately obvious you are playing a villain protagonist?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'd definitely play more games where we were on the bad side and NPCs were trying to stop us.

Just turn the antagonist into the protagonist
