I'm so F*CKING sick and tired of all these generic games where Mary Sue characters live in a pristine and perfect world where hard work, love, and the power of friendship pays off %100 of the time.
What are some video games where the main character tries his hardest, but ultimately ends up ruining everything for everyone.

Stop playing weebshit
>>382458612
Why are you playing videogames?
Read a book, watch a movie. Google "tragedy" if you want something like that. Christ this is /v/
>>382458612
Your life.
>>382458808
Because I want to experience this through a more interactive medium.
Anon I play video games to escape from that reality why would I want to play that?
>>382458612
Nier/Drakengard
You need to stop playing Jap trash. Western games are what you are looking for because Westerners actually know how to tell a story.

>>382458612
Furi maybe

Friendship is only a cliche in Jap crap.

You think anyone on this board exhibits even an ounce of effort?
>>382458612
Pretty much every RTS is this.
>spend 5 hours building up civilization from a patch of dirt
>either get stomped in about 10 minutes and lose or genocide the other player and win, causing the game to end anyway
Yes. I want the equivalent of the final episodes of pic related.

>mindlessly pursue revenge
>keep talking about how you want a peaceful life
>continually throw yourself in with a criminal element for money
>wahhh why does nothing work out for me!
he did it to himself.
>>382459094
Dark Souls pretty much does that though
>>382458612
Dark Souls
The Last of Us
Every Metal Gear

>watching this and knowing that Kim ultimately leaves Jimmy
>>382458612

Every GTA protagonist except for 3, vice city, san andreas.
>>382458612
Silent Hill 1-4 are pretty good picks
Shadow of the colossus

That can't happen soon enough. They have no chemistry and Kim is so far out of his league it's not even funny. I seriously can't suspend my disbelief enough for their relationship, it's just weird as hell seeing any scene of them together acting like a couple.

That's a pretty perfect description of Nier to be honest, but knowing that beforehand kind of ruins it.
>>382458612
Shadow of the Colossus
What's the point of playing a game if you already know the ending?
Looking for specific endings or stories to games is such a waste of time, the only time when such things are actually worth finding is when it comes by surprise
You ruined it for yourself idiot
spec ops the line
>A story is only good if it ends badly or with a pyrrhic victory
Whay is wrong with you niggas?
>>382462146
Thai beer on tap? huh
>>382462434
listen to this man
if he is right you will experience the taste of bitter defeat, your goal
if he is wrong you will get your dick wet
>>382461141
>continually try to do the right thing
>constantly look after your friends
>fail at your relationship
>fail in your last moments
He didn't deserve it

Romance is dead; art is a graveyard of immorality.
Humankind has never had it better, but the intelligentsia is telling us this is the end of days. They are ginning up actual social malevolence like BLM and Occupy to make it appear as if great social upheaval will take place.
It won't.

Media over saturation. By the time people enter adulthood these days they've already seen/heard everything mediawise and become jaded and bitter, (thanks internet!).
>>382458612
well, Mother 3 has a pretty depressing end and Lucas has had a shitty life, the ending seems apocalyptic but there's actually real hope at the end
It's not what you asked for but I think it works

What do you guys think of Chuck?
>>382459709
Congratulations Anon, you didn't miss the point.
>>382462893
It pissed me off that scumbag Roy Earl got away Scott free.
>>382464005
He's an asshole keeping his brother down but he's also not entirely wrong about Jimmy. I'm pretty conflicted, really.
>>382460021
>The Last of Us
Literally has a power of love ending. And he ruins everything for everyone else on purpose, so he does succeed in his own goal.

Yvonne Strahovski was hot, show overstayed its welcome though.

but he didn't try his best to make things good for everyone. he took all the dangerous shortcuts and paid the cost for it.
>>382464165
>he's also not entirely wrong about Jimmy
Jimmy only does shady shit because Chuck makes sure he doesn't succeed through honest means. If Chuck had just allowed Jimmy to be hired as a lawyer by HHM in the first place everyone would have been happy. Same with all the other stuff that Chuck ruined.
He's just a deranged petty asshole.
>>382462356
>Kim is so far out of his league it's not even funny
I hope you don't mean appearance-wise because they're totally on the same level, professionally though yeah
>>382459386
Exactly what I thought, I'm surprised no one else mentioned this.nearly everyone he tries to protect dies, and he ultimately fails
>>382461030
This is why I hate prequels. You start out knowing he's gonna fail and lose everyone in the end
>>382465192
That's the best part, though. Knowing exactly how things are going to turn out in the end adds a layer of tragedy to every victory and failure.
>>382464662
Playing this game as a 5 year old was some depressing shit.
Max Payne 1 and 2 feel pretty depressing. Especially 2, I guess, 1 is a more straightforward revenge story, but 2 shows that revenge didn't really solve anything for Max. He's completely miserable.
>>382458612
Try some TellTale games.
>>382464178
>power of love
More like mental issues of a man who can't let go. She's another broken watch.
>>382464392
His cousins gambling habits forced Niko into a drastic situation. Notice that the whole point of the first few missions is that Niko DOESN'T engage in criminal activity until his cousin's life is held hostage.
