What are some games where you end up as a tragic hero?

Immortal Defense. Probably other indie games.
>>

It's kind of different ending a game that way compared to other mediums because the ending is a result of the player's efforts so having a hopeless ending makes it feel like they wasted their time playing.

Also RDR

Exile on genesis, it's ending was so bad off that they made a sequel that retconned the shit out of it and just silently made most of the plot into a state of "Never happened"

This. The tricky thing about writing this ending is that if you handle it wrong, it just comes across as you personally insulting the player for their investment in playing the game.

It's a lot easier to do in film and other mediums because nobody has to work towards the tragedy you're going to write. It's all part of the show.

Somebody name a game where everything turns out fucking awful with the bad guys winning only for one of the characters to go on a punisher-esque revenge-driven rampage after the credits.

I fucking love this.

Drakengard 3, Ending D if you read the extra content from the last DLC.

Every single named character except the child dragon dies. The protagonist, the dragon's mother figure, saved the world, but to do so she had to kill the world leaders, leaving the general public in chaos and causing them to war over all sorts.

The child dragon is left without his mother figure, but goes on to survive until the end of the world, basically spending the rest of his unfathomably long life mourning her and seeing the entire world go to absolute shit.

I was honestly more satisfied by Burial at Sea's ending.

Infinite's default ending makes Bioshock classic look fucking pointless and B@S makes it matter again.

Super Robot Wars @3's bad ending is the Ideon ending.

Super Robot Wars Z1's bad ending has, something happen and I don't know what actually happens, only it's bad.

Breath of Fire 4's submission ending has you killing your friends as an invincible dragon before unmaking and remaking the world.

Basically, you're the bad guy all along, the "bad guy" is just your actual soul, whilst you're an empty vessel to which the soul would eventually return, as are all other "people".
In Ending D your character gets erased from existence, meaning everyone who knew you forgets about you. The game actually goes ahead and deletes your save, whilst showing you all the shit you grinded for (you had to grind for every single weapon to even get this ending). As a final fuck you you can never create another character with the same name.

The black "runes" for magic and shades are also actual characters. (angelic alphabet or something)
Small shades dropping stuff like toys and colouring books is because you are actually murdering children since the beginning.
The black scrawl follows the same rules as magic, but the only character that make it are the initials of the DNA's nitrogen bases
Meaning that black scrawl is not a disease but DNA unravelling itself due to the failure of the gestalt project

I can't fucking wait for Nier2
