10 Bad Video Game Endings That Are Harder To Get Than Good Ones
10. Rule Alone - Mafia III
When it comes to Mafia III, only one ending can be considered good. However, if you were to decide which one of the bad endings is worse, it would definitely be the one where you get blown up in a car explosion mid-cutscene.
Coincidentally, it's also the hardest outcome to reach.
Although the fiery inferno makes for a very quick and sudden finale, the requirements you have to meet in order to get it are disproportionately complex. You have to do everything you do in the good ending, but instead of working together with the Marcano lieutenants, you have to betray all of them one by one.
This means making very specific choices throughout the latter half of the story that allow you to eliminate all of your potential partners in crime until Lincoln is the sole leader of the Marcano family... and he has no one protecting him from getting assassinated with a car bomb.
The choice to work together with the lieutenants is actually much more straightforward than crossing your allies, so if you're mad about Lincoln turning to crispy bits and dying alone, you really only have yourself to blame for it.
