9 Video Game DLCs That Ruined Perfect Endings

9. Dead Space 3 - Awakened

Is Dead Space 3 the best game in the Dead Space series? No it’s not. Is it the second best game in the Dead Space series? Absolutely not. But at the very least it has a pretty darn epic ending.

When all is said and done at the peak of the Necromorph threat Isaac and Carver cripple the Brethren Moon, allowing them to sacrifice themselves in order to save mankind. It’s incredibly epic and stands as the culmination of a fight against an enemy so brutal and overwhelming that their threat has lasted three video games and made their mark in video game villain history. After a nasty final encounter our heroes agree to die in order to save earth. It’s confirmed the two did manage to destroy the Marker and with it the Necromorphs.

Which is so cool except then the Awakened DLC came out which revealed that, surprise, the Necromorphs aren’t gone after all.

Not only that our heroes didn’t die at all so, so much for that meaningful farewell but not to worry because at the ending of the Awakened DLC the Earth is being decimated by Brethren Moons and Isaac and Carver have been knocked unconscious. So we took a great ending and replaced it with a fatalistic one where the good guys lose after all. Bummer. This may not have been so bad if the story continued or we had confirmation on what was and wasn’t a hallucination but sadly the series ended there.
