10 Video Game Heroes Having The WORST Day

6. Chrono Cross

Enslaved Odyssey To The West Monkey Trip

When most people go to the beach, the worst that you expect to deal with is a seagull nicking your ice cream or getting sand stuck in inexplicably uncomfortable places.

No one goes to the beach expecting to die, is my point.

Better still, no one expects their death to mess up the narrative of time, fate, the reawaken of long dead gods and oh, a little nasty fella known as the Time Devourer.

Unfortunately, that's what happens to silent protagonist Serge within the first half hour of the seminal Chrono Cross.

Yeah, turns out you're part of something much bigger than being shuffled off of the mortal coil. And your dad is actually the antagonist who kills you (again) and steals your body under manipulation of a supercomputer named FATE.

Which only happens because you should have died as a three year old, but father dearest chanced upon said supercomputer with the intention to heal you, making you an anomaly in the order of things.

When you think about it, a little bit of sand doesn't seem so bad in comparison.
