8 Secret Video Game Endings You Needed A Guide For

And finally we have Steins;Gate, another game that locks its triumphant true ending behind some laughable requirements.

The big issue here is that the true ending can only be accessed by making specific replies to six messages throughout the game, which provides absolutely no indication that you're on the right track.

The true ending triggers or "flags" can be missed if you make the wrong reply, take too long to reply, don't open a message during a certain chapter, and so on, ensuring that the likelihood of getting the ending without a guide is virtually nil.

You would need to use up all your lifetime's luck in a single go to have even a sliver of a chance of doing it without help.

It is admittedly an awesome ending complete with a lengthy epilogue, but considering you've got to get six random responses correct in a game that lasts several-dozen hours, it's a pretty mean ask.
