10 Video Game Endings Where Nothing You Did Matters

Far Cry 5's two proper endings are both so utterly defeating it's tough not to feel short-changed by the whole experience. 

At the end of the game, players are given two choices - to walk away from Joseph Seed and his doomsday cult, or take them out.

If you walk away, the game ends with the player character succumbing to Seed's brainwashing, but if you decide to resist, a nuclear bomb detonates, before you end up handcuffed in Seed's bunker and forced to become his companion.

Basically, Seed comes out on top regardless - the game ends with the feeling that no matter what you did leading up to that final choice, it didn't really matter.

That doesn't invalidate all the fun you had prior to the final stretch, but it's such an arbitrary downer, and feels contradictory for a game with so much moment-to-moment freedom to end in such aggressively futile fashion.
