10 Most Depressing Video Game Endings

By Grabbo /

5. Grand Theft Auto IV

In another terrific example of interactive story telling, at the business end of the game the ball is in your court to make a choice. It's a real rock-and-a-hard-place situation, as you're given the option of making a deal with the bad guy who's been screwing you over for the past twenty hours, or picking a fight with him. Whichever way you play it, you lose. You lose a lot. And on your wedding day. You take the deal and Roman will get a face full of bullets. You choose the fight and it's Niko's wife who get's the lead enema. Arguably, Roman's death is the harder hitter as his character is developed a lot more throughout the game, but at the end of the day, it's a nice little depressing message from Rockstar reminding us all that our actions have consequences. Bad ones.
