      This happens because your brain likes finding ways to conserve energy whenever it can. When you hear something, your brain instantly unpacks everything it knows about it, from the definition, to the context, to any memories associated with it.
      When your brain is constantly subjected to the same stimuli repeatedly, it will stay to block it out entirely as conserve energy that would be spent on registering it repeatedly, hence why words start losing their meaning if they're repeated. This is the same reason why your house smells different when you get back from a trip.

      Funny enough, Chaos himself is actually the tragic figure in that tale.
      An artificial being that originally was forced to commit attrocities as a weapon of war lest his mother figure be killed, then apotheosized and forced to participate in an endless cycle of war against a being that had taken his mother's form, losing more and more of himself each time the cycle reset.
      Feral Chaos is from a "bad end" world where the cycle breaking events of the main story never came to fruition, and instead the cycle just kept continuing until the only living creature left in existence was the mindless, raging beast that had once been known as Chaos.

    By now, everybody knows the recent Far Cry games (4-6) all have alternate endings you can immediately access if you do, or don't do certain things at the start. That "thing" depends on the game. Far Cry 4, for example, has you just wait at the table until Pagan Min, returns, instead of go off on an adventure liberating the country from him. These endings include full cutscenes that wrap up the story (prematurely), and by triggering these endings, players usually get an achievement, or trophy for doing so.

    Finally one of the ones I've suggested, Fallout. Although they missed that you can just convince the master to destroy himself with high enough persuasion. I did this entirely by accident. I went to a couple towns and gained a follower who did most of the fighting, then got the water chip, visited the brotherhood once, then found the final boss entirely by accident. Getting to him was a bit difficult, but at the time I didn't know I was in the final dungeon so I just kept reloading. Then I talked him to death. I got a rather bad ending mentioning factions I never actually interacted with.

    I believe I mentioned it on the previous one of this, but of course I'll mention it again, since it's my favorite game: in Nomad (released by GameTek for DOS in 1993), you can go anywhere you want from the end of interacting with the first alien you talk to. Even though it would be suicide, you can go immediately to the planet Losten (granted, you don't have it marked on your map since you haven't been exploring yet, but you can get there randomly, or if you already remembered where from a previous playthrough), where the main boss the Master Control Robot is hanging around in his ship, flanked by his second in command in a ship just as powerful as his, along with other fighters. At this point, you would not have enough missiles to defeat him, and one of his shots would destroy you, but you can still show up and engage in a battle.
    The quickest route (in game time, but may take you quite some time otherwise) to defeat him is to take on a diplomatic mission for the Alliance (it's one of the ones which is available from the beginning), where you take a diplomatic pouch to a planet leader (and a glitch makes sure you can have untold amount of diplomatic pouches and can constantly complete the mission if you know how to take advantage of said glitch) and as a thank you he gifts you a Spy Bot (which can be sent onto inhabited worlds). Send that bot onto the same planet and it will pick up an Arch Bot (though it may take some tries before it does so). Now, travel to the Losten system, but not the planet itself, and send out a distress call, which will cause the MCR and his armada to come to your location. Immediately travel to Losten before they can attack you (but after they've arrived, or they might not actually go there). Save your game (because you'll need it) and then immediately try to go through the gateway around Losten. Its combination is random at the start of each game, and it will destroy your ship if you get it wrong, so you'll need to keep reloading your save, but you can eventually cheese the sequence. Now you've gotten to Losten and can send down that Arch Bot, which should pick up the MCR Override. Travel to where the boss is, use the Override, and watch the ending sequence.
    How it's supposed to go, though, is that you need to talk and trade trade with the various aliens in the game until you've gotten the best ship enhancements and missiles you can, in order to properly go toe to toe with the MCR. The Losten gateway code is supposed to be obtained by finding it through various EX-class robots, each of which is in a different situation it seems (one is just an inventory item as a severed head, another is a planet representative pretending to be under the MCR's control, and such), but the most difficult is that one of them is that same second-in-command I mentioned before. To even talk to him, you need to have gone through a convoluted process to get the secretive prototype shield booster called the Stealth Shield (which keeps the robot's scanners from telling it you're organic). You also need to have achieved the fact "Paramis" to tell him, which is the code for him to tell you his portion of the gateway combination. All this, and one piece of the code may be inaccessible, since some versions of the game have a faulty line of code to make it impossible to properly interact with one of the EXs. Though, having most of the code makes cheesing the combo so much easier than having none of it going in.

    You can technically do this in Binding of Isaac: Rebirth as well if you have the Repentance DLC. It's not a reliable way to do it, but if you play Eden, who starts with two random items each time you play them, and you start with an active item called Glowing Hourglass, you can use it in the very first room and go straight to one of the game's final enemies. Glowing Hourglass typically takes you back to exactly how you right before you entered your current room, including any items, health, or resources. But if you use the item before you've gone anywhere, it actually takes you to the floor that canonically proceeds every run, Home. So with only two items and random stats, thanks to Eden's ability, you can challenge Dogma, The Horsemen, and The Beast.

This is done by going into the character files and delete hers. There's nothing stopping you from deleting Monika's character file at the start of the game, doing this causes Sayori to have a mental breakdown realizing that her world isn't real and forcibly close the game while deleting her, Yuri and Natsuki's character files in the process.

    This is also very true in Fallout New Vegas, it's possible to head directly to the strip to deal with the main story, and the entire game can be closed out in less than an hour(without glitches). This was very helpful as the game launched in such a compromised and buggy mess, that data corruption issues marred the play experiences of thousands at release. Skipping to the end of the game was the best way to avoid those until Obsidian could be bothered to fix the errors roughly 6 months after release.

      Well, that's not really what is asked here. You can run straight to the end of Act 1, not the end of the game. Even if you immediately run to the Strip and take out both Benny and House and then choose Yes Man (the "faction" with the least main quest missions) you still have to do 6 quests (granted, one is a glorified cutscene and another can be completed by going to the HQ of 5 minor factions once and then telling Yes Man to ignore them all)
      Even disregarding those two, you still have to go to the Fort to do the Securitron upgrade (or blow them all up if you like for whatever reason?) deal with the planned assassination of President Kimball, get the El Dorado Substation working, and do the Battle of Hoover Dam

    I'd say that NEO Scavenger would fall under the category of one of these games. While there's not a real "person" to fight, the place you need to go in order to complete the game is always at the same coordinates, and is essentially a trial where you must choose the right options and have the right items or perks.
    Thing is, though? If you select the right perks in a new run, you can use them to have everything you need to both go there right away (and get there in one piece) and pass all of the trials without scavenging any tiles other than the one you spawn in.
