10 Video Game Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed
1. Conduit 2: Non-Dead Presidents
Conduit 2 has the most ludicrous ending you're ever likely to see. Now, you probably weren't expecting those vaguely familiar faces to pop out of the portal at the end, were you? Incredible, isn't it? Not only that people would actually write this sort of extreme trash, but the very idea of Conduit 3 featuring bad-ass undead presidents, sporting heavy artillery and armour taking on a giant Alien threat in the space where National Treasure and Halo cross-over.
But wait...
Will someone please consider the timeline?! If there's one thing Back To The Future taught us (at times,) it's that messing with the time continuum will spell untold disasters, beyond making your family rich and famous, and inspiring your own name. Conduit 2 never explored the complexities of incestuous relationships with our own mothers, but it did present a giant quandry when it came to the impact that two supposedly long-dead presidents walking around in Halo-like armour would have.
Apparently it's okay to gloss over the impact on the time continuum, as long as your ending is ridiculous enough and bad-ass enough to go down in history. But there would surely be wide-reaching implications of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln suddenly revealing themselves to be (presumably) immortal in order to help save the world from the imminent threat of Tiamat, the giant alien ship. At some point the two would realise that their unveiling would lead to endless awful chat show circuits, and the same kind of obsessive celebrity objectification that blights Amanda Bynes.
They might be equipped with super space suits, but there's no way they're ready to take on that imminent threat, and foresight would lead to them either running away and leaving Tiamat to basically eat Earth, or killing Michael Ford to cover their tracks. Either way, not so much of a happy ending.
