2. Nier Automata - Fishing > Fighting

Nier Automata has 26 endings, but by far the most inspirationally facetious is ‘L’. As the narrative draws close to its apex in chapter 10_02, rather than confront the boss head on in blaze of action infused glory, the player can simply choose to walk away. Doing so will give you the following game over:

‘Fed up, 2B left the camp to its fate and decided to go… fishing? Yeah, that’s it! Fishing! With a smile on her face, she packed up and headed for the coast. Ten years later, 2B would find herself hunted by both machine lifeforms and YoRHa assasins - a life she seemed to enjoy more than her previous one.’

Because, at the end of the day, who wouldn’t really rather screw work and go fishing than flip around in high heels all day? 2B, you’re the most relatable character in the history of the gaming medium.
