8 Secret Video Game Endings Not Worth Your Time

7. Mass Effect 2 - Lone Survivor

I think that it's safe to say by this point that Mass Effect 2 is one of the greatest Sci-fi video games OF ALL TIME, mainly because you'd be hard-pressed to find a better, more engaging narrative that is backed up by so many great moments of character development and exciting action.

I mean it does end with one of the worst video game boss battles ever but we'll let it slide seeing as the entire Mass Effect series always seems to botch its final moments.

Back to the positives though and let's talk about the Suicide Mis sion as a whole, what a brilliant story arc this is right? You're basically told from the off that you are outgunned, outmanned and out of time to do much about it, so gather whatever oddities of the galaxy you can find, and let's have a desperate "thread the needle" crack at this. It's genuinely amazing to see how much you care about the crew you gather and you'll find yourself going to extreme lengths to keep them alive at any costs.

Or at least that's what normal people do, because if you want the "ok you're not in my Myspace Top 10 ending" (this joke was more relevant in 2010 when this game was released) then you'd need to actively ignore all bar two of your crew mates, which trust me takes a lot of effort. If you do this and basically cut out a huge chunk of the game and effectively deny yourself hours of fun, you'll find that all your crew bar your two favs will die and Shep will come out the other side wishing that they'd done more.

It takes effort to be this passive-aggressive, it takes actual effort.
