Yeah, any big guys I have to defeat in games where you play as a scrawny *****.
...it's early, I'm tired, I'm out of funny jokes. But seriously, I hate having to kill minotaurs in Oblivion.

Yes.
As mentioned previously, the Big Daddies in bioshock, poor guys were just protecting the little sisters, and then along comes me or greedy splicers to kill them.
It was sad when you ran across a situation in RDR and accidentally killed the wrong side (it's hard to pick out who is the robber and robbie in a half second).
In Crysis 2 a lot of the CELL people were just average guys working for the wrong person. I felt bad killing them if I didn't have to.

I remember playing Metro 2033, and I was coming up to a German camp, there were some soldiers talking about how they were forced into this war, and how one of them was desperate to get himself and his family out of there, His mate reminded him of the last family that tried to escape, they got gunned down by their own side.
The first soldier Was distraught, and said he felt he will never make his family safe. And there was glass all over the floor so I couldn't sneak past them
I Ended up killing Both of them.

Am I the only person in the world that flinches when killing a Scamp in Oblivion? Honestly, I can't say I have never had a time where I felt bad for Scamps, but still...
Well, all the colossi in Shadow of the Colossus. I think you're kinda supposed to. Apart from that, I can't think of any.
If at all possible, I tried to simply punch out/tie up the Germans* in Commandos 2, and I personally picture "running over" knocked-out enemies* in Valkyria Chronicles as picking them up and taking them off.
*Unless they wear black uniforms. THOSE guys are assholes.

Negative. If I think I'd feel bad about killing someone, I find away around, but all bets are off when they start shooting at me. Even if they weren't programmed in the game to be able to choose whether to attack or not, I see them as a person who decided killing me was the best course of action. Someone tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back.
ultimately I think he was just afraid; afraid to die, to see the galaxy exterminated, to see life gone. He was a victim in my opinion, and that made him sympathetic. Even is actions were largely not his own.
There is a way around that.teebeeohh said:
Actually you can knock them out with gas grenades. Its funny that I figured that out because up until that point I brutally murdered everyone. I even whole sale slaughtered the insane hanzers in the prior level, (though I felt a little bad about that,) with a heavy rifle while screaming 'OOOWAH CRY SOME MOAR!" at the top of my lungs.
I think the reason I couldn't kill those women was because of how helpless they were, it felt so freaking wrong, when the insane hanzers were actively trying to kill me, and were actually kinda comical to waste, those girls seemed like they were in pain, and being violated.

I felt bad after finishing a wounded civilian during No Russian, funny part was that my MG was half empty at that point.
Aside from that some of the grunts in Halo, expensively the ones in Ghosts as they remind me of Yayap.

Strangely, I felt bad enough about killing some random mook that I stopped playing once.
It was some random German soldier in Call of Duty 2 during the British section taking place in the desert. I don't even know if I killed the guy. I was just running through a trench using a tank as cover when I found a pistol on his corpse. Something just clicked in me, I felt a little sick, then turned off the game and thought for a while about it.

Felt bad for not solving a case but.. Haven't killed anybody... Then again Mia made me play one of those steel samurai games and I didn't really feel sorry for any of them... Hmm.
I feel the same way which is why I stay clear of call of duty. I try to not kill animals in general if I can. Because I always feel so bad.Ando85 said:
No, it's like feeling for polluting the environment while playing a racing game. The world and people in it don't exist.Use_Imagination_here said:
You aren't breaking bones as batman, you aren't batman and there are no bones, there is no prison, thugs or life ... it is like feeling bad for a fictional person in a book or film.
Yeah, I kinda felt bad leading up to my ultimate conclusion with Gunther. The guy already had it hard enough what with the maintenance team plot against him to always switch out his orange sodas with lemon-lime, his unrealized dream of the skul-gun, and his noticeable difficulty typing emails and filing TPS reports. That point in Paris where you see him futilely chasing your helicopter as you make your escape and the journal entries the other MJ12 troopers wrote about him standing in the control room days at a time waiting for you to arrive really got to me, to the point where Walter Simons berating him postmortem made my blood boil (we had a Highlander sword fight on the helipad of Area 51 later after an exchange of quips, so it all worked out for the best).mirasiel said:
Actually, something else that I was surprised bothered me was killing goons in GTA IV (I know, right?). On my first play through, I played a vindictive bastard. My credo was if you kept to yourself we were fine, but as soon as you tried to harm me, my family (I had a soft spot for Roman, I couldn't help it), or my friends, your life was forfeit. Those albanian thugs you fight in the basketball courts, for example, I kneecapped both of them and threw a molotov in between. It got to the point where after every skirmish I would spend a few minutes going around picking off the survivors with a head shot as they lay on the ground. At some point I got sick of it (a few mobsters claiming to have kids that I accidentally twitch killed helped the process) and started to let the incapacitated survivors walk off. Hell, I even tried to avoid head shots on the cops that would chase me between missions and aim generally for their lower torso region. Weird, right?
