Remember what we used to say? JACKPOT!
Stop Killing My Titles
At the end of said chamber is a chained woman, dressed in white. She pleads desperately for you to free her... but at the same time, is it really a good choice to make?

I like noises.
An old dirty spaceship full of drunken partying hillbillies zigzags through space firing its cannons at nearby planets, sometimes stopping at shop stations for booze and beef jerky refills.
Nonsense is better than no sense at all.

Borderline obligatory: The Cantina theme from Star Wars A New Hope.
A paintball arena has now incorporated explosives (grenades, c4, etc.) into its personal metagame. Granted, these explosives still follow the Non-Lethal Warfare nature of the game and are subjected to intense Competitive Balance, but they honestly do make quite the fun mess!
Edit: fixed a bad pothole that took me this long to notice....

At the heart of the world...
A malfunctioning military drone is single-handedly destroying an entire city of innocent civilians while the police and army try futilely to stop it...and you're the only controlling it. (Well, not that there' some outside party in-universe controlling it, but you get what I'm saying, right?)

The Confrontation from HeartCatch Pretty Cure!'s Non-Serial Movie. (Never thought a track from a Magical Girl franchise would fit that situation, huh? 
)
Continuation from above: the military drone finally runs out of ammo and is soon taken out. When it does so, the player gets Fission Mailed and a message saying "Nice Job Breaking It, Hero" and "You Bastard!".

Games you play the closing credits theme when you lose the game.
A team of three heroes of a space colony travel deep within the dungeon of the a Demi-god necromancer king, assured that this will bring an end to all evil... only to stumble across a dimensional rift within the very floor they are standing on. Upon further exploration in this twisted plane they witness their lifeless corpses, an ominous discovery.

Two main characters are outside of a massive military vehicle with an entrance on top. There is an atrocity occurring on the inside, which they both know they can prevent. However, trying to put a stop to it may risk provoking the detonation of an explosive, to devastating effect. One of the protagonists musters up the strength to attempt entry of the enormous vehicle, but the other character resists, instigating an intense shouting match between the two. It escalates to a point where the resistant protagonist grabs a weapon and attempts to shoot down the other to prevent him from entering the vehicle.

The all-powerful villain has just decimated the hero for the dozenth time. He keeps getting back up, despite there being no hope, and despite his captive friends begging him to just stay down and stop prolonging his own pain.
