10 Video Games That Made You PAY EXTRA For The Ending

10. Asura's Wrath

Of course we had to start this list with arguably the most famous example of a game locking the ending behind a paywall. In Asura's Wrath the main character is betrayed by his friends and allies, has his wife fridged, and his daughter is kidnapped. He is beaten and resurrected a few times, before finally ending the cycle by defeating the real final boss.

Or did he?

Yeah, that's kind of how it ends - the real final boss is defeated, but left on a bit of a cliffhanger as to whether or not he's actually beaten. There's a lot of death and destruction, but the main character has his daughter back and the help of his old friend and rival.

But wait, for a mere $6.99 you can learn that you were being manipulated the whole time as a test and the real-real final boss re-kidnaps your daughter (oh how original) and you tear a hole through space-time to defeat the God of Creation. Cue an epilogue set millions of years in the future.

Story goes that the game was supposed to have a sequel, but it sold like garbage so they decided to just pump out a DLC ending for a few bucks.
