Hi, VGC! I was discussing with a friend games that allow you to "achieve" a bad ending of some sort, and then, we began wondering which sequels of those games take this bad ending as the canon point to proceed with the sequel/franchise whatsoever.
Most of the time, it is the good/perfect ending the one that takes the crown, and that sign carries on through the whole sequel. The one that comes to my mind right now is Infamous: Second Son; despite having the choice, developers eventually used the good ending of Infamous 2 to make the sequel.
However, there are some games that do take the "bad" ending and start working on the sequels using it as the model.
The only two games I can think of right now are:
· Metro: Last Light.
· Silent Hill 3/4 (It is heavily hinted that SH2's canon ending is the saddest one).
Any suggestions? Let's try to keep spoilers at minimum, although I don't mind if people do put spoilers and cover them in the spoiler tag. :P
EDIT: I thought of Metal Gear Solid as well, but Kojima came along in MGS4 and fucked up with the canon xD
