What games do this? The only one I can think of is metro 2033.

>game with multiple endings gets a sequel

xcom

>yokotaro universe canon matters

>bad ending is canon so the protagonist can have the same doubts and same revelations from the base game again

>game has good ending
>sequel shits all over it

XCOM 2 did it, but with the caveat that the aliens were behind the nations leaving the XCOM project rather than them leaving because you kept fucking up missions. Plus the home base invasion happened way earlier than it did during actual gameplay so they stole the only commander (you) capable of doing jack shit against the aliens.

They even has the npcs note that you were doing extremely well until

Max payne 2

>bad ending isn't canon

Mass Effect 2

epic meme kiddo

Warcraft 1

Shadow Hearts

>meme ending is canon

I'm legit surprised the commander wasn't revealed to be a rogue Ethereal.

Drakengard? Come on man, NieRs been up everyones asses for months now

Dishonored 2

And it's better that way because 3 Max is best Max.

Both endings are canon in Shadow Hearts. Timeline goes like this:

SH bad ending > SH2 > SH good ending

>MC is tortured for weeks
>everyone gets killed
>trophy unlocked: True End

>the one labeled bad end is the good ending

Literally all Drakengard or NieR1

Nier isn't part of Dragongard canon, it's just alternate timeline.

>game doesn't have an official canon
>even though sequels happened

What's up with James disappearing in Silent Hill 2, as mentioned in SH4? Does that imply that every ending ends with him disappearing? Or that there actually is one real ending?

Binding of Isaac

examples pls
i know the red ending in ME3 was called 'bad' but really the whole game is bad so it's not really fair to label any one of them bad

>there are multiple endings, but your choices don't impact them at all

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

>cannon is meme

A-user!? What happened! Are you there?

Witch and the Hundred Knight

...

Basically Wizardry 6 to 7

>there is only one ending
>none of your choices matter, it's gonna be the same ending

The Witch and the Hundred Knight comes to mind.

NieR is a direct result of Caim & Angelus entering their their world

>What happens is, back in Drakengard, Caim and Angelus (and the Mother Grotesquerie) wind up breaking through a dimensional barrier and land in Shinjuku, Tokyo, where they do battle and all eventually meet their end.

However, the fallout from the dimensional break -- and from the destroyed body of the Mother Grotesquerie, and to a lesser extent from Angelus and possibly Caim -- winds up introducing a foreign substance to our universe, in the form of magic particles (maso). This winds up having some unforeseen and unfortunate effects on our reality and is ultimately what leads up to Project Gestalt and all the fallout from that.

The ending for The Bureau heavily implies it

How else are you going to continue a series if things ended well?

>game has multiple ending
>none of them mattered to the squeal

>there's an alternate ending, but only if you turn around at the very start of the game

>rich guy tricks the local yokels

>good ending requires perfect dialogue choices
>choices are ambiguous one letter descriptions

>"bad" ending should've been canon

Mass Effect 3 does this.

all of the endings are bad

>Bad ending
>Everyone in the fucking world dies.

>Good ending
>Everyone in the fucking world dies.
>except four people

>Game ends on a cliffhanger
>No sequel
