10 Video Game Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

5. The Key To Immortal Life Is Destroyed - Uncharted 2

What would you do if you found the Tree of Life? Would you bottle the sap in order to sell to the highest bidder? Use it yourself? Or even just a bit of both?

Well you know what? It doesn’t matter because thanks to second worst archaeologist ever, Nathan Drake, you won’t have the option because he’s gone and bungled the whole thing. Now this priceless resource has been destroyed.

I have to admit he’s not totally to blame seeing as some nasty mercenary-types are trying to use the sap for military purposes, but while the game paints Nathan's victory and his subsequent smooch with Elena as the backdrop to a charming and romantic ending, the fact remains that thanks to this goon, the world has lost out on a society-altering discovery.

To be honest, it’s even worse when you consider that the entirety of Shambala now lies in ruins thanks to his actions, along with the guardians who lived there far longer than he’d been around.
