Title: Worst Ways to Die in a Game
Post by: Spartanguy88 on November 09, 2008, 05:40:48 PM
(Strongly inspired by the "Worst Ways to Die in a Movie" thread)

(I bet it'll be tough to top this one...)

Dead Space

Death by the Necromorph Brute:

It picks you (Issac Clarke) up, bites your head off, then rips your body in half!

I shot a man in half in slow-motion, with a shotgun. This was in the game, F.E.A.R.

Another one might be an artillery strike on a goup of footsoldiers in the game Company of Heroes. You'll see arms, legs and torsoes being thrown around by the force of the explosions.

Probably those rail shooters where you can shoot the bad guys that pop-out, and if you keep up a steady barrage, they keep getting hit and don't fall over until you cease fire. Picture getting an entire clip (or two, in 2-player) loaded into your family jewels. Ouch.

I think I've put this up in another thread somewhere but hey...it seems to fit the bill. Straight from Resi 4 (via Youtube) almost every possible convincable way to be knocked off in the game. What worries me the most is that all these scenes linked together total almost 9mins! :blink: :DD. Guess the guys at Capcom really went all out on these huh? :lol

Warning: contains scenes of bloody violence and gore! Faint-hearts should not click the link below.

- Having a chainsaw slowly cutting through your neck (Resi 4)

- Having your head skewered by claws and having your head smashed into the ground repeatedly all while you're still alive (Resi 2)

- Having a tentacle impale through your mouth and out the back (Resi 3)

- Dragged across the floor with your lower body swallowed in the floor until you die by the pressure or bleed to death from having your lower body all torn up from said abuse (Alone in the Dark 5)

- Devoured alive by a number of bat monsters (Alone in the Dark 5)

- Dog shredding your neck and bleeding out (Call of Duty 4)

- Having a huge guy stepping on your back, breaking it and adding insult to injury by grinding its heel on your limp carcass (Resi 2)

Sheesh!  These are all pretty nasty ways to get whacked!

How about this one: someone takes an uppercut from an opponent which sends them up in the air and crashing through the hardwood floor.  They become impaled on some kind of a spike with other spikes branching out of it.  As the person slowly slides down the spike, their limbs are severed off by the branching spikes.  The limbs are stolen and dragged off by hungry rats as the person continues to convulse and spurt out blood wherever limbs were severed and where they were impaled at (Mortal Kombat: Armageddon).

BioShock has a whole mess of nasty ways to die.  Here are some of those ways.

1. Having your guts ripped out with hooks (that guy that you watch get murdered when you first arrive in the city.)

2. Being burned to death (any enemy that you kill with the fire pasmid)

3. being set on fire then electrocuted (setting a splicer on fire and when they jump in water, zapping it with the Electrobolt plasmid.)

4. Stung to death by a swarm of genetically enhanced bees (insect swarm plasmid)

5. Being impaled with a big daddy's drill (that dead guy who was impaled on the desk)

6. Being "harvested" (little sisters)

7. Being beat to death with a monkey wrench (any number of enemies)

8. Being beat to death with a golf club and having the end break off and become imbedded in your skull. (the Andrew Ryan death scene comes to mind)

10. Being stabbed to death by little girls with big needles (Fontain being killed by Little Sisters.)  

11. Being shot to death with a nail gun (if you are killed by a Rosie)

12. I shudder to think what kind of death the victims of Dr. Steinmen suffered (the bodies strapped to the roof where you fight him)

The worse video game deaths I've ever seen are all in one game: Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

1. Being gradually turned into a zombie, but retaining my human mind and soul. Oh, and I also slowly become insane, and then left locked in a room for hundreds for years to stew in my misery. Finally, I am given the sweet enbrace of death when the newest playable character comes by with a mace. Seriously, it doesn't get any worse than that.  <_<

2. The runner up: having my skull exploded by a demigod.  :wow

3. Getting jumped by a monster straight out of H.P. Lovecraft and then it makes off with my head.  :blink:

4. Being dumped into the still under-construction foundations of a tower, and being one of many corpses that end doing our own impression of "Frozen Han Solo".  :o

5. Having skeletal figure called the "bone thief" skin me alive and make off wearing my flesh as a disguise.  :x

That's about all I can remember off the top of my head.

Especially in MK: Armageddon.  The more ya dismember the opponent, the better fatality.  I believe it's called a "killer fatality" when ya rip the opponent's head off :x.  Ever play the Konquest part?  Talk about brutal!  Another one in that game is catapulting the opponent into a wall and SPLAT!  It is a violent video game series indeed.

Oh wait!  Here's one from The Legend of Zelda series.  Yes, a game that is not known for it's violence.

I just don't get how Wind Waker got away with an E rating, especially with the ending.  You take on Ganondorf in an epic battle that was seen as one of the best battles ever at the time, and at the very end, you have Link finish him off with driving the Master Sword right through his skull. :o And it doesn't stop there, the Master Sword then turns Ganondorf's entire body, swords included, into stone. :blink:

Wow!  How do you get away with that in an E-rated game?

Spartanguy88 has officially increased my interest in checking out Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe :yes.  Some of the fatalities appear lame in that more gore is needed considering the severity of the injuries inflicted :rolleyes:.  However, they all looked painful.  Green Lantern's giant sledgehammers remind me of the iceblock stunt in Saw IV :x.  The Joker's magic card trick fatality was interesting to see as well.  This looks interesting even though the gore is less than that of previous games :yes.  An interesting combination of opponents indeed.

Post by: The Friendly Sharptooth on January 03, 2009, 12:41:09 PM
Everyone here has given examples of the worst way of dying in a game by showing how it happened. The worst game deaths however, can also be called that as to why the character died. Having a character die by something horrible happening to his body can be pretty bad. But the worst way for a character to die in a game could also be contributed to how tragic his passing away was, blood and gore, ot not. I own this game, and I have never disliked a way of dying more than this: having the main character that you've come to know and love and have been playing as for the entire game, let's himself die for what he believed was a greater good. After all that time with him, instead of being rewarded at he end, the one you fought with throughout the whole game gives his last beath before your very eyes and won't ever come back. Most deaths I've read here so far are just game overs that can jus be reloaded. This time it was permanent. Dying and staying that way is worse than a simple "try again" meesage, I think. So this isn't a game you want to start over on because you know he or she is going to die tragically in the end anyway, so you just want to forget about that and end up never playing the game again. It's really terrible. But now I can actually SHOW you what I am talking about since Mumbling just explained to me how to post a link. Since you will only see the ending, it won't be as bad as if you had been with the character from the beginning, but you'll still see himself sacrificing his own life to save others. Sad deaths are far worse than grusome ones for me to watch. Or course, I'm probably the only one here who feels that way.

To understand what you would see here, let me explain the game just a bit, because it is so rare, I doubt many here have even heard of it: Seventh Cross Evolution. The story and main character's actions are always the same, but at the beginning of the game you customize the look of the main character, and I must say, the player here has an unusual taste in character design, as you'll notice. Now the ending of the game here, which is the time he dies, is a little long, so it had to be made in two separate videos, and the dramatic conclusion is of course on the second video toward the bottom. But if you don't at least see the first half of the ending, which is the part right before he dies- the first video here- then his death won't even make any sense at all. The first video starts with a cutscene right before a boss. Since this is the ending, you won't understand why certain events are happening, but as to how horriblly he dies, which is all the topic asks for, that can be understood better if you watch the first part. This will also show people the game type I like best: turn based role playing. This explains why the player here can't just move the character and start hitting. This is about thinking, not reflexes. So as the name implies, in every battle, you and your opponents take turns, each time picking between physical attacks, magic, and items. That may sound strange to some of you, but I enjoy this type of game most of all and this particular game had an excellent story besides the hero dying. Here we go. And sorry to dissapoint any of you, but if I remember correctly, there is no blood here at all. My "worst way to die game ending" that I have seen before:

I agree with you 100%. It is the most humiliating to be beaten by a Jigglypuff on any Super Smash Bros. game. That is why she is my favorite character and the ONLY character I ever play as. When you have friends over and they know that Jigglypuff is the weakest character and actually consider her a joke, it is that much more satisfying to beat them with her. And since I've played Super Smash Bros. for years, I am quite good with her since I don't get confused trying to learn multiple characters' fighting styles. People always laugh when I pick her than get shocked if I beat them. People learn from personal experience that they don't want to get near me when I can get a home run bat. In fact, people that know me well enough frantically try to get the bat before me because of the bat's home run special ability. You know, where you pull the bat back which gives the opponent plenty of time to get away but will instantly K.O. them if they are hit. But they can't really run away from me when they're asleep now, can they? Besides, she is so light that I can move around really easily compared to Donkey Kong, Bowser, Ganondorf, and the like. Actually, when I get a fighter, I always try to learn the weakest character so I can master him or her and be that much more impressive if I win. Just a little quirk I have. Later!

Worst way to die in a video game is to be killed by a Jigglypuff in Super Smash Brothers or Super Smash Brothers Melee. It is humiliating. Especially if it is only a level 1.
As soul destroying as it is to be KO'd but that annoying fluffball with the googly eyes, some of her attacks are actually quite potent. If anyone thought that her Down Special (Falling asleep) was utterly pointless, think again! If you can fall asleep right on top of someone (as dodgy as that sounds :DD) you can launch them for miles! Also, in Melee and Brawl, her charged up spin attack can obliterate an opponent with only medium damage. Jigglypuff can be a formidable fighter in the right hands but it does leave you feeling somewhat distressed to think that that little puffball nobbled you :lol

Left 4 Dead

Having a Boomer vomit on you, causing about a dozen or so zombies rush at you; at the same time having a Hunter pounce on you and claw at you. With the combined Hunter/Zombie rush on you, you die.

It happened to me before.

EDIT: What's even worse is that you have to hear the character you're playing as screaming his/her head off. They say stuff like:

"GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF ME!!!!!"

Spartanguy88: I don't need to see those videos for I have played the game and have seen the deaths for myself.  Every criminal in Arkaham wants Batman Dead!  So of course they would kill him in the most grusome and satisfying way possible.

The one that really takes the cake here would be him dying during the times Scarecrow has him in a nightmare.  He not only goes through his worst memories, but can't regain his mind.  It's just horrible dying that way.  Scarecrow is truly EVIL!

Or even in the classic Prince of Persia game, sliced in half by the slicing trap....or the spikes on the floor!

Dying because of a Gumba in any Mario Game is always terrible... But hilarious at the same time :lol

I think one of the worst ways to die in a Game is in "Until Dawn". If you make wrong decisions, the characters may be killed by 'Wendigos' brutally. It's a Survival Horror game in which the player has to make decisions which influence the story. If the character makes every decisions right, every character survives. But if the player makes too much wrong decisions, every character may die

Literally anything that you can die from in Oregon Trail.  Take your pick: Drowning, starvation, thirst, horrible diseases, rattlesnake bites, crushed by a falling wagon...  Dysentery seems to be the most infamous because of the internet meme.  If you don't know what dysentery actually is, google it.  It's not a pleasant way to go.  At all.

Oh, you can also randomly get eaten by bears and cougars during the hunting mini game.  That's right.  Red Dead Redemption may have made getting cougar'd infamous but Oregon Trail invented it.
