10 Video Game Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

7. Uncharted 2: Shambhala Destroyed

As the events of Uncharted's excellent sequel come to a head, Nathan Drake is thrust onto a journey of vengeance when Elena (his new lady friend, obviously) is almost killed by a grenade just after the pair discover the invulnerability applications of the blue resin found at the Tree Of Life.

Drake gets to the tree just after the nick of time, and watches his latest mortal enemy drink from the tree's sap and become almost invincible, before deciding the best way to kill him is to explode the sap and then leave Lazarevic to be killed by the Guardians of the secret, sacred city of Shambhala. He dies, Nathan and Elena kiss, and sunsets are ridden off into.

But wait...

Much like Indiana Jones - the single most careless archaeologist in the history of the subject, thanks to his tendency to destroy previously perfectly preserved artefacts - Nathan Drake is awful at his job. He is supposed to be committed to discovering and preserving articles and locations of historical significance, and yet his destruction of the Tree Of Life pretty carelessly destroys the wonderful kingdom of Shambhala.

Rather than sharing the spiritual significance of the place, or helping its inhabitants (such as those Guardians) escape, Drake blows the entire place up, and enjoys a sexy kiss to seal the deal. Quite how he deserves his reputation in the industry is beyond me.
