Persona 3: Spending his whole school life being an insufferable little shit, the protagonist fails to foster a strong enough bond, and so he remains the first to be swallowed by Nyx, followed by the petrified members of SEES, the whole of Gekkoukan, and then the rest of the waking world.

 

[Hummingbird]

Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest: Your attempt to take over the throne of your birth family fails when your older sister and her army cut you and your army down. Sure, both of her retainers are dead, but they can rest peacefully, knowing that the kingdom of Hoshido has lost a number of their power houses. Now the the Hoshidans have to do is keep King Garon and his two sadistic cronies from continuing from where you left off.

 

[Internet War Criminal]

Candy Crush Saga: You're on level 147. You've managed to get to 120,000 points you have two color bombs next to each others. You are about to fucking finally beat that level you get your finger in position and... someone knocks on the door and tells you to get the fuck out you've been sitting on the toilet for 25 minutes. your finger slips and instead you complete a regular move. You lost.




Then the Taco Bell shit begins

 

[c-no]

Blood: After being cast out of the Cabal for some "failure", Caleb lives... again. Not even a minute in after finding some dynamite, he accidentally kills himself when he throws the dynamite at the first zombie. He was too close to the blast radius as it hit the corpse. Tchernobog is less than pleased since his "ultimate sacrifice" didn't even kill much in this rampage of revenge.

 

[Caesare]

Harvest Moon: That guy that picks up your vegetables from the bin and pays you forgets to mark your stop down on his route, and he passes you up every day. Your vegetables go bad, you can't afford to rebuild the farm, and you live the rest of your life in squalor on your father's decrepit farm.


Final Fantasy 2: Cecil and Rydia don't wake up while spending the night in the Kaipo Inn and the Baronian Guards murder them in their sleep, Zemus realizes Golbez's treachery and gives him the axe, Kain takes control of the Red Wings as an evil asshole and the universe gets all fucked up as a result.

Elite Dangerous: Having traded, smuggled, and bounty-hunted his way to a nice shiny new Imperial Courier, and having had its normal-space thrusters given a warranty-voiding modification, Commander [insert name here] decides to test out its much-vaunted speed and ultra-lightweight carbon nanotube construction by attempting to boost out of the space station on full throttle. He lifts off and accelerates to 620 m/s in the blink of an eye then realises that his trajectory is all out of goose. He collides with the aperture to the docking bay and explodes ignominiously. The rest of the galaxy completely fails to care in any way whatever other than his mates, who secretly guffaw at his foolishness.

I, uh, may have actually done this.


Final Fantasy VII:
Cloud Strife, being the emo little bitch that he is, takes up cutting as a hobby. One day (long before the assault on the Shinra facility) he elects to do so with his hilariously OTT sword and achieves a little more than the token scratches that most emos aim for. Within minutes, he has bled out.
As an aside, Barrett gets killed in a police action for being a) a ridiculous black stereotype, and b) not being able to put his weapon down fast enough to keep the cops happy.

Rage: You don't wake up. No-one cares.

Fallout 4: Kellogg thaws the wrong person. The coolant system fails with you still in the pod. You die.

Destiny: Your ghost finds you, but not before the Fallen have violated your corpse so utterly that it puts the 'blend a skeltn' random.txt entry to shame. Dismayed, your ghost moves on.

Rogue Legacy: your ancestor is the fabled warrior of yore that can speedrun even the most treacherous of dungeons, leaving nothing for you to explore, win or generally fight against.

 

[ZehnBoat]

Superhot: when confronted by the corporation that made the superhot.exe file and told to never run it again
your character does so


this is a good ending

 

[Overchek]

DOOM: You jump gleefully into a pool of molten metal.

 

[Hummingbird]

Delicious: Emily's Message In a Bottle: It takes one bad day for you to ruin your Uncle Marco's floundering fish restaurant. Thus, leading to him losing the point of how happiness can be achieved, leaving Arabella man less and there's one less guest at the family reunion. I guess grandpa will have to remain without his memory.

 

[SU 390]

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time: Link dies after being ran over by the giant boulder in that maze while getting the Kokiri Sword. Ganondorf rules all of Hyrule.

 

[JacobVR]

The Suffering. In all likelihood, no one goes into a psychological horror game like The Suffering with the expectation that everything will always turn out swell in the end. But the bad ending in The Suffering is such an awful, twisted horrific conclusion that you can’t help but be taken by surprise. You play as an inmate at an asylum built on an island. They tell you you’re there for killing your family, but you have no memory of having done so. You escape, of course, and monsters start cropping up everywhere for you to kill. Throughout the game you make various morality decisions that determine the ending you’ll get. If you choose the high road, the game ends with you realizing someone else is responsible for killing your family. If you play as a bad guy, however, it turns out that you did, in fact, kill your wife and children. You’re shown a first-person view of the horrors you inflicted on them, pummeling, drowning, or throwing them out a second-story window while they beg for mercy. It’s just plain awful stuff, so you probably shouldn’t watch the video of it above.

 

[Basil II]

Outside: Archduke Franz Ferdinand is shot and killed by a Serbian Nationalist, world is plunged into decades of war and conflict, culminating in the planet's nuclear annihilation.

 

[A shitty ass clover]

Steins;Gate

The Steins Gate worldline Is one where Okabe dies by hand of Dr. Nakabachi. Only Kurisu knows the truth.

 

[Black Waltz]

zelda breath of the wild: link breaks his neck attempting to do a 1080 triple flip off of his shield, ganon manages to fully reincarnate and destroy what's left of hyrule

 

[OmnipotentStupidity]

Jak II: Jak tries activating the Rift Gate but not only are the preset coordinates lost to time but the Rift collapses in on itself after being inactive in a dirty silo for thouands of years. The Sages go back to ruling over the world after Gol and Maia's defeat, Keira goes back to being a mechanic who flirts with Jak on occasion, Daxter continues to have adventures in Sandover Village, and the Metal Heads never escaped through the Rift Gate, thus erasing the Metal Head War, Haven City, Kor, Baron Praxis, all the suffering people endured, and of course Jak himself from existence.

...You inadvertently causing the suffering of the entire world, the eco shortage, and the mass murder of millions upon billions of people via bugs ripping out your intestines for 500 years is supposed to be how the game plays out normally.

EDIT: In hindsight, because Jak wouldn't have existed in the first place he wouldn't have been able to stop Gol and Maia and gain access to the Rift Gate in the first place, thus not activating it in the first place, but because Jak did defeat Gol and Maia that would've meant that the Rift Gate would've been successful and the Metal Heads would've flooded anyways, meaning Jak would've had to have been there from the start otherwise Gol and Maia would have taken over the world leaving the Rift Gate inactive anyways and this is why I fucking hate stories that hinge on paradoxical time loops.

 

[UE 558]

Crash Warped ends with you dying on the final boss because your OWN FUCKING GUARDIAN MASK, AKU AKU DECIDES TO ACCIDENTALLY KILL YOU WHILE FIGHTING UKA UKA

Demon’s Souls ends with you falling into a fucking chasm on the first level

[JM 590]

Payday 2: Four bank robbers attempt to boost a small corner bank, only to have the entire US military show up and annihilate them by spraying them with countless bullets that somehow don't ever kill them. Bain gets them out of prison within a week, and this keeps happening in a perpetual loop. All taxpayer money is wasted on the military's weekly outing to stop these four bank robbers, and the nation is plunged into anarchy.

Guitar Hero 3: The rest of the band can play and sing any song perfectly, and are destined for stardom, but the guitarist is abysmal and ruined the entire backyard party. The band goes on to find a new guitarist, gets famous, and ends up going to Hell and staying there for eternity because the guitarist just can't ever beat The Devil Went Down to Georgia because the boss fight mechanics where they mess with your note lanes are BS.

Mega Man 1: Mega Man falls off of the platforms on the broken rails on the way into Gutsman's lair, and Dr. Wily is free to take over the world. As a result, Mega Man 2-11, all of X, all of Zero, all of Legends, ZX, ZX Advent, and Megaman & Bass never happen.

Mega Man Battle Network: The substitute teacher unknowingly murders Lan's actual brother in combat, and since no backups exist, Hub is dead for good. Lan only finds this out after his grieving father tells him, and becomes an unremarkable nobody with a replacement generic navi. The WWW is now free to take over the internet, and by extension, the world, opposed only by competition too incompetent (Chaud & co.) to stop them.
