Lara Croft is one of the most famous and beloved video game characters in the gaming industry. Not only that, she is also one of the video game characters that can inspire gamer girls to get fit. Tomb raiding is never easy. You get to face and anticipate traps as well as enemies during your adventure. However, one of the most memorable and not-so-hidden game over moments you will see in the first and remake of Tomb Raider is of Lara turning to gold.

If you are familiar with the popular story about King Midas, then you should have braced yourself with the obvious consequences when you are at Midas Palace level. However, the reason why this ending is not-so-hidden is that most players are quick enough to jump on the giant hand statue before they realize that that one was the thing.

In Dishonored, you will be playing as the mysterious and silent Corvo. There will be a part in the game that will test whether the players lead Corvo to dishonor or to the path of being a respected protagonist of the game. There will be a scene where you will witness Piero, the inventor sneaking a peek on Callista taking a bath.

You will have a choice of sending him away or leaving him. Then you will also have a chance to do the same. And if that doesn’t seem enough, you can always have the option to barge in and get in close and personal. Of course, Callista doesn’t appreciate this. If you choose to keep being the pervert, then the game is over. This is because even in games, game developers wanted to promote personal space as well as not being a pervert.

As he leaves to deal with a terrorist that got caught with you, you are asked to stay.  This is the game’s way of telling to get out and kick butt.

However, you can also do what the villain asks. After almost 13 minutes of waiting, Pagan Min returns and finally, you will know how he knew about your mother, what’s your ties with the rebellion and what Lakshmana is. Enlightened. Then the game ends. This just goes to show that there’s more to the villains than you thought. Plus, you didn’t kill anyone at all in this Far Cry game. That’s a feat.
