10 Video Games That Mocked You For Buying The Sequel

This is another entry that will delve into spoiler territory, so grab your scuba suits and let's dive on in. 

Danganronpa is a twisted Japanese series that revolves around various high-school students murdering each other at the behest of an evil robotic teddy bear - fun times. Each game (and the spin-offs) follow this battle royale, deathfest formula. However, the controversial climax of the third title took this franchise's very existence and flipped it on its bloodied head. 

The final moments of Danganronpa V3 reveal that the characters involved in this round of killings are secretly part of a reality TV show based on the Danganronpa series. Furthermore, it even claims the same for every previous title, implying that everyone involved has fake memories planted in their heads and that the entire world is nothing but fiction. 

That's right; nothing you've played across the franchise has actually been "real." You've been tricked into loving characters and games that have been a lie the whole time. 

Naturally, there's plenty of discourse on whether this ending is considered canon. But there's no denying it acts as a direct reflection of the players and mocks them for loving this franchise.
