10 Saddest Video Game Endings Of All Time
6. Mother 3
Mother 3 starts with the death of Lucas' mother, the disappearance of his twin brother, and abandonment by his father. Things can only get better right?
Well, no. After Lucas and his friends pursue and kill a mysterious masked man bent on breaking the seal of the Dark Dragon, it turns out the masked man was Lucas' twin brother all along. Despite stopping his brother, the Dark Dragon is revived anyway and proceeds to destroy the world, painfully and violently killing everyone in it.
Okay, so the game goes on to hint that Lucas utilised the Dark Dragon to rebuild the world - but it's a bit 'too little, too late' for the billions of people that just suffered an excruciating death.
