  Oh, the fish tattoo Nishiki has was absolutely deliberate on the devs' part. In Japanese mythology, a koi slowly climbing a waterfall eventually reached the top and turned into a dragon.

  I'm sad that A Way Out wasn't on this list. That ending fight literally made me cry at the end, especially cause I played that whole game with my IRL best friend and he beat me, so it felt like my real best friend was shooting me. Damn, the feels 😂

  I never suspected Jane would actually admit to being THE final boss!😂

  I'm surprised Insomniac's Spider Man wasn't on this list. Peter looked up to Dr. Octavius and considered him a close friend. You could feel the heartbreak and anguish when Spider Man had to fight Doc Oc.

  For the record, Nishiki wasn't asked by his family to kill him. He was worried that if the family found him, his fate would be even worse.

  The most tragic part of Jedi survivor wasn’t Cere’s death, it wasn’t Bode’s betrayal, it was the sigh that Kata gives when she understands what must be done.

  In Nishikis defense he was also trying to earn enough money to save his sister, cause a doctor started scamming him for backally surgeries

  Does Ghost of Tsushima count? I mean sure, he’s your uncle but Jin’s respect and admiration towards Shimura is akin to a best friendship.

  &quot;I knew it&quot;, say all the viewers, &quot;Jane finally admits that we&apos;re best friends&quot;

  Infamous 2 was brutal for me. Though not THE final boss, you were forced to kill your best friend on the evil route. Zeke, the one that’s been with you through it all and had your back, finally sees you for the monster you really are and even though you have superpowers and he just has a gun, he tries to stop you anyway. <b>sobs</b>

  You don&apos;t understand, I&apos;ve been messed up about Nishiki for YEARS. He is what happens when your Yakuza not-Dad sets you up for failure over and over again by treating you like your fellow orphan sworn brother rather than nurturing your actual talents and recognizing when you need support. Nishki was done dirty by everyone but Kiryu and I think about it to this day. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
