Best Video Game Deaths!

[senjuro]

Unlike you i prefer game deaths with a message other then "ha ha you/your friend(s) are dead, now you get to watch yourself die.".

If you haven't played the game, then you have little context to base your judgement on. Adrienne is seeing past events of the house that she and her husband bought in the country side so she could get away from civilization to write her book (Shining style). The man in the visions isn't killing his wives because he wants to: he's motivated by demonic possession to kill each wife based on what it is about her that annoys him most: her incessant gardening, her gluttony, her drinking, her nagging, and so on. The purpose of seeing these is so the player can figure out what's happening to Adrienne's husband before Adrienne herself does and become frustrated at the limited actions she can perform that inevitably lead her to a direct confrontation with the demon posessing her husband.

COD4 for instance, gave the player the chance to try and flee from the Nuclear blast detonated by Al Assad which i think gave a noticeable message about nuclear weapons and terrorism. This was a good ending because it gave the player the illusion that they could escape.

Yeah, I've seen that scene before, and it is very well executed.

I don't really care about how realistic the violence is in your game Senjuro, nor how good the make up was. You are right, mine may have no features better then yours, but at least it had a message other then "Boo motherfucker, now you die.".

If a game doesn't reward/punish you for dying with a gory cinematic, then it's missing a great opporunity to garner some shock value.

I criticize games, yes, but that's because i don't like them.

If you don't like games, then why do you play them? They're supposed to be a source of entertainment. If all you have for them is criticism, you should read books, instead. They tend to hold up better against a degree of scrutiny than videogames tend to - even ones with enormously high production values.

Anyway, you seem to be vastly outnumbered in this thread by people who prefer/enjoy gore and violence. Again, this is a video game deaths thread; blood and gore are par for the course.

And yes, Crimson Fox, the Fallout messy kills are hilarious. I remember, the first time I left Arroyo in Fallout 2, my first encounter was a group of farmers and guys in Power Armor. I was like, "Uh...shit?" And then they blew away the farmers, children included and I was like, "Ummm...killing children in a video game? Am I on crack?"

I remember at a later date, Vic tried to snipe an enemy but ended up critically shooting a child in the eyes for an obscene amount of damage, and then I got labeled as a child killer.
