** There is one guy who just can't make up his mind on if he wants to live or die in these games: [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Gai Daigouji]], who, in six games the Nadesico series's shown up in (''Advance, Reverse, Judgement, Impact, MX and W''), two he lives all the way through, three he's an optional character and one he STAYS dead!
*** Although the Evangelion cast has a much much happier and better existance in SRW, and most of the symapthetic characters live. Ritsuko always dies in any game that finishes the End of Evangelion plot. Only in L was she spared because nobody died in L on account of the Eva plot ending shortly after Asuka showed up. Kaji also usually doesn't make it, although he also survived L for the same reason, and unlike Ritsuko he made it through MX. Gendo always dies, but he arguably deserves it. Mitsato, and at least one of the Rei's always make it, and the Bridge Bunnies always survive although they're never seen again after getting Tanged in Alpha 3. And of course, 3rd Impact is always averted, and in a way that doesn't end with Shinji and Asuka alone in a world of Tang.
* ''[[The Matrix]]: Path of Neo'' video game, which followed the plot of the movie trilogy, did this with the ending, where instead of Neo sacrificing himself to stop Smith, Smith merges all his pieces into a 500-foot-tall Mega-Smith, which Neo fights as the final boss. This was lampshaded with a tongue-in-cheek cameo by [[the Wachowski BrothersWachowskis]] explaining that artsy everybody dies plots are fine for films, but video games are about punching out Galactus using the Hulk.
* In ''Peter Jacksons [[King Kong]]: The Game of the Movie'', Hayes has a much larger role as [[The Lancer]] and survives the events of the game. In contrast, Preston has no significant role in the game other than [[Death by Adaptation|being eaten by the first V-Rex fairly early on.]] There's also the unlockable bonus ending in which {{spoiler|you can actually ''save'' King Kong from his fate atop the Empire State building.}}
* The ''[[Hook]]'' point-and-click adventure game leaves out Rufio's death and you can see him alive and well on the ending screen. Surprisingly, the NES game averts this.
