10 Worst Things Video Games Made You Pay For

Of course, it’s very common for games to offer multiple endings, and this tends to be a very good thing. It encouraging more playthroughs, making different decisions and following alternate paths. Asura’s Wrath, however, offered a ‘true’ ending that was locked behind a paywall.

The non-ending of the base game, a cliffhanger in which Vlitra may have survived Asura’s brutal pummelling of its core, didn’t satiate fans’ hunger for answers. No sequel for the action title would come along to right this wrong, but DLC shenanigans did instead.

The Episode IV: Nirvana package consists of four episodes: Episode 19: The One Behind The Curtain, Episode 20: The Key to Victory, Episode 21: A Rude Awakening and Episode 22: A Life Well Lived. To see Asura embrace his mortality 870 million years later (now that’s an ending), the Nirvana DLC had to be bought. While the extra content is a thrilling, worthy ride, hiding a satisfying ending within it was a shady move.
