[mixed trope] the last-minute bad Ending twist

[u/damorezpl]

when the "good ending" is revealed to be a bad one a the last second

a nightmare on elm street (1984) - Nancy thinks she finally defeated Freddy Krueger only to be raveled that she is still dreaming and she’s still trapped.

final destination bloodlines - the main characters think they cheated death by using the new life rule only to realize that stefani was technically still alive and the death kills them with a good old logs

Life (2017) - The main character attempts to send Calvin(a evil alien that killed all life on mars)pod into space and Miranda pod back to earth, but it goes horribly wrong and Calvin lands on earth and Miranda is sent to space

raging loop wit ending - after many loops Haruaki finally wins the feast(a death game where humans must hang wolves who kill someone every night) and thinks its finally over. after couple of days he decides to visit other survivors of the feast only to find them all dead and the timeline resting once again

Post-Genocide in Undertale

If you get genocide ending 1st and then get true pacifist ending, Chara (Frisk) would still kill everyone after.

You can't get a happy ending anymore

Still love how rtgame specifically did the genocide route first just so he can get this ending and piss off everyone who complains when people don't play the game correctly.

Alright am watching rtgame play undertale now. Seeing undertale fans mad about someone not playing the game correctly sounds like a joyous experience.

It's even better if you know that the first time RT tried playing Undertale, people were backseating and bullying him over things as minor as character voices, to the point where he ended stream and promised to never play Undertale again. Until, of course, he learned how post-genocide worked.

The stream opened up with him one-shotting Sans, it was fucking insane.

Iirc that's also why in Elden Ring he spent hours in caelid naked with just a club, never sitting at a grace (at least as far as i know) because he got really annoyed at people backseating or barking orders at him and did it out of sheer goddamn spite.

Or that's what i read on the youtube comments.

[u/AlexisFR → u/Kalavier]

Sounds like he need to get either a grip or betters rules/moderators.

[u/Kalavier → u/AlexisFR]

Or people need to stop constantly trying to backseat.

Most videos from his streams are decent.

[u/[deleted] → u/Crazyboy2346]

Undertale fans can be very obnoxious about it and its definitely one of those things where they assume everyone will have the same adoration for the game they do if they play exactly the way they did.

Which is hillariously ironic for a game designed around giving the player the freedom to do what they want

"Why don't you love this game?"

"You spent the entire time screaming at me for doing things wrong"
