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:
