10 Video Game Endings That Were Saved By Fans

As beloved as It Takes Two is, many players felt that it ended on a bit of a shoulder shrug gameplay-wise, as the final sequence doesn't feature a boss battle and the game basically just... ends.

But this wasn't always the plan, as a few months after its release, players who gained access to the debug menu discovered a scrapped alternate ending. 

This 20-minute sequence differs substantially from the ending of the game proper, with Dr. Hakim fusing Cody and May into a heart-shaped avatar as players must collaborate to help their daughter Rose navigate a hellish rendition of their family home.

This level also includes a final boss - a shadowy colossus-like entity which seems to form from Cody and May's vitriol, and which must be defeated to save Rose and beat the game.

The pair then confront Dr. Hakim and realise that they've been neglecting Rose amid their many arguments, after which the spell is broken and the rest of the ending plays out as it does in the final game.

For anyone who felt that It Takes Two's ending was lacking a little oomph, though, the boss fight and decidedly darker tone certainly make it well worth watching, if not playing for yourself.
