The ending of a video game is one of the most important aspects of the end product. Gamers who've played through a 20-hour long game need some much-needed closure in order to be satisfied with the overall experience, and a good ending helps in providing this. This is perhaps why games with multi🦋ple endings are such a huge gamble. While — for the most part — these games have fairly defined paths that lead towards the best ending possible, sometimes that is simply not the case. Some games require a fairly intricate path that's totally not obvious at all in order to get the best ending possible, which is incredibly frustrating to say the very least.

And then, there are those games that contain an extremely ludicrous and unimaginable🦩 ending hidden somewhere in the game that can simply make the player go insane upon finding it. These endings might not be canon to the main game, but one can't say that they've truly finished these games until they've managed to uncover these ridiculous endings that can completely flip the script. Here are 15 of the craziest secret endings in video games you probably had no idea about.

15 💮 Finish Far Cry In 15 Minutes (Far Cry 4)

The fourth iteration of the Far Cry series was met with generally positive reviews. One reason for this appraisal was the antagonist of the game, Pagan Min. The character received unanimous praise for his personality, unpredictability, and an ability to capture the player's attention whenever he was on the screen. As it turns out, one can shorteওn their play time by a lot if they simply follow this madman's instructions.

At the start of the game, Pagan Min invites your character, Ajay Ghale, into his fortress where he treats you to som🐼e Crab Rangoon. After some scenes, he politely asks you to stay seated while he takes care of some business. If you decide to wait for just around 15 minutes, Pagan Min will actually come back, help you spread your mother's ashes where she wished, and let you join him in his quest for dominance. And... that's it. Game over. Congratulations.

14 Meryl Dies If You Fail The Torture Scene 🌺(Metal Gear Solid)

First of all, let us just say that if you willingly decided to give up during the torture scene in the first Metal Gear Solid game, you deserve to get this incredibly depressing ending sequence. Anyway, during th🐲e torture scene, if you get somewhat curious and see what would happen if you decided to submit, be prepared to get hit with all the feels.

You see, by giving Meryl up and escaping this excruciating pain, Snake has pretty much doomed her to a horrible fate. He'll witness her lifeless body, and — to David Hayter's credit — provide a heart-wrenching monologue about his weakness and how it cost someone quite close to him. The entire sequence can make you feel so guilty that you'd want to replay the torture mini-game again just so 📖that you can get the canon ending.

13 🔴 R🎃egis Gets ANGRY AF If You Take Too Long (Who Wants To Be A Millionaire)

Regis Philbin decided to provide his voice for a free game of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, which was given with a General Mills cereal box as a CD. You'd expect things to be pretty laid back when you decide to pl♈ay this game, but as it turns out the game isn't willing to take any of your crap.

No matter what, if you happen to take an extended amount of time anywhere in the game, Regis will straight up increase his sass level all the way to the stratosphere. If you don't put in your name, he'll naꦇme you Kathie Lee. If you happen to take time answering the fastest finger question, choosing an option at the player selection screen, or anything else of the sort, Regis will simply flip the script and quit the game in rage. Jeez.

12 Shoot The Overseer In Th꧋e Back (Fallout)

The original Fallout is one of the greatest isometric RPGs ever made (its sequel is 🌊just as good, if not better). The unique setting and atmosphere of the game were unlike anything else released at that time, and the post-apocalyptic setting of the game is still one of the bigg♛est draws in gaming right now.

At the end of this game, when the overseer thanks you for your service but exiles you nevertheless, one of two things can happen. You can either let him walk away... or — if you have the Bloody Mess perk, a low reputation, or any one of ♑the Berserker and/or Childkiller traits — you will promptly shoot him in the back, causing him to die in a brilliant explosion of pure gore💛.

11 Choos🌠e To Live The Borinꦍg Life Of A Mechanic (Metal Saga)

When someone decides to play a JRPG, they would normally expect to play as a teenager who wishes to become something glorious by fighting an absolute crapload of monsters over and over and over again until the game is over. In Metal Saga, you control a boy who wishes to be a 'Hunt꧟er'... that is, unless you decidℱe to change his fate with a simple choice of dialogue.

For some reason, instead of not letting you do this like most games at that time, Metal Saga actually had a whole cutscene, mentioning all the acts that the player wouldn't ཧaccomplish since he choose to become a boring 💖mechanic instead of an awesome hunter. Kudos to the developers for at least trying something different.

10 ꦺ Leave Claire To DIE (Shadow Complex) ⛄

Shadow Complex is a great 2.5D platformer with shooting mechanics that was released through the Xbox Live Arcade. The game received a number of positive reviews, and at a mere $15 is considered to be an absolute bargain at the time of release. The game starts off when protagonist Jason Fleming's girlfriend Claire is taken away in a helicopter, triggeri🍌ng the events that lead to the unf🅘olding of the game's story.

Of course, if running after a relatively new girlfriend isn't something you're particularly fond of, then you can simply go all the way back to your jeep and drive off, leaving Claire to her grizzly fate. Jason will ever remark that "there's plenty of fish in the sea," which is both hilario🅠us and downright cold.

9 Kill 𓃲Both Men At The End Of The Game (Singularity)

Singularity was a great breath of fresh air from the regular drove of FPS games that were flooding the market. Featuring a pretty neat time-travelling mechanic, Singularity managed to tell a pretty enthralling story that spanned multiple timelines. At the end of the game, you're gi𝓀ven the choice to shoot either the bad guy who took ov༒er the world or the good guy who made the device that provided you with these powers (I know, tough choice indeed).

However, there's also a third option where you shoot both people. In this particular ending, the world pretty much falls into chaos due to your rather inexplicable actions. After a while, it turns out that your character rises in power to become a powerful dictator with 'god-li𒆙ke' powers.

8 𒉰 An Alternate E𓄧nding With Time Travel And Monster Babies (Drakengard)

Here's a confusing fact: Nier Automata is based on one of the many endings of the original Nier, which is itself based off of the fifth ending of Drakengard. This particular ending is the focus of the entry, and what we're about to tell you is downright insane.

For some reason, the game wasn't content with simply being an elaborate Dynasty Warriors clone. In one of the endings, you end up fighting a bunch of monster babies that appear from the sky. After a while, their supposed 'Mother' comes in to join the fray. Finally, after dealing with all this nonsense, the Mother boss opens up a portal which sends you to mo༒dern-day Tokyo. This perplexing sequence ends with you and your dragon impaled on a buil🐼ding after being shot down by fighter jets.

Speaking of disturbing endings...

7 An Ending Th♓at Will Scar Y🏅ou For Life (The Suffering)

The fifth ending of Drakengard might be a bit disturbing, but it's got nothing on the evil ending of The Suffering. You control To🥃rque, an inmate on death row who's family died under suspicious circumstances. Depending on the choices you make in-game, you can receive the good ending, neutral ending, or — unfortunately — an evil ending that will scar you for life.

In this ending, it turns out that Torque beat his wife to death, drowned his youngest son and threw his eldest son out of the window. If that wasn't bad enough, whe🎶n the coast guard arrives to rescue him, he turns into a grotesque creature (that you use throughout the game) and chucks a crate at the boat. Finally, Torque runs into the woods of the island he was trapped in.

6 Solve A Puzzle To Uncover The Game's Se♐cret (Hotline Miami)🔥

Hotline Miami is a great game with challenging gameplay that emphasizes quick reactions and calculated thinking in order to pass all the levels of the game. In each level, there are🎉 puzzle pieces you can find. By getting all of these, you can access the secret🙈 ending of the game that uncovers (or thickens, based on your viewpoint) the mystery of the game.

It turns out that the events of the game were mainly controlled by two unsuspecting janitors, who manipulated people into killing Russian Gangsters while repeatedly 𒁃saying that 'failure was not an option.' The ending is a neat little way to gain more insight into the happenings of the game if one wishes to do so.
