10 Brilliant Video Games With TERRIBLE Endings
6. Far Cry 2
Far Cry is known for its debbie downer endings, pretty much across the board. The most optimistic ending is probably 3's true ending, where Jason Brody returns home after his little extended vacation. And even then, if you'd actually played through the rest of the game, you're probably counting down to when he has to go to the DMV, and then proceeds to make a lovely summer home from the bones of his fellow citizens.
I was thinking of putting Far Cry 4's ending here, where you're either tricked into helping a religious militia or a child soldier fueled despot take over the country of Kyrat. But at least that one has an alternate ending where you learn the truth without being bamboozled.
No for this list, I chose the ending to Far Cry 2, where no matter which ending you choose, you die horribly, while the main bad guy, arms dealer The Jackal, gets away scot free. It's just a really anticlimactic end to what was otherwise an excellent survival shooter.
