Lots and lots of falling-off-ladder deaths in 90s FPS games. Sure, Trevelyan is tough, but the ladder down to the helicopter platform is the real Final Boss of Goldeneye.
Exactly how I feel, even if it also makes me feel a little bit like an arsehole to boot! BioWare released a DLC for ME2 that allowed you to box-tick the major decisions, which also didn't really sit right with me. I know it makes me / us sound elitist but that's something I / we will have to live with. If it makes the masses who started with ME2 or ME3 any better, I am only just getting started with the "prequel" novels and I feel like I have let Mass Effect down somehow by leaving it this long. Sorry, guys!FavouriteDream said:
As for most embarassing death in a game...well I have quite the list to choose from as I can be pretty inept when I want to be! I'd have to say that a death in my last playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas ranks pretty high in the "Whoopsy-daisy" award nominations.
I was sneaking past that railyard with the blind deathclaws in it, you know the ones - the ones that point at you despite being blind! Anyway, I was sneaking past but I had a gun drawn in case I was rumbled. It was all going terribly well until I sneezed, which made me accidentally click the left mouse button, thus making my character fire off a round. Now if the noise wasn't enough, through sheer fluke / bad luck, the bullet struck a Deathclaw that was beyond the draw-distance (I got a "Sneak Critical Hit" notification), which alerted the rest of the pack, who promtly reduced my character to mince.
looks like forums have failed to show the amount of pages correctly, darn.
Well i kept dieing in minecraft by falling into a pit i dug myself to trap enemies. i did it like 5 times in an hour, then decided to build a ladder.
i died in in World of tanks by ramming artillery. the way ramming works there is the heavier you are the more damage you do. a heavy tank rams a measly small artillery and explodes, that was a sight.
A friend also told his most stupid death in Eve yesterday. He launched a bomb with a Manticore, and then few right into that bomb himself, effectively suicide.
Damn time paradoxes.keiji_Maeda said:
For me I could list so many stupid deaths in Dark Souls although my last one tops it pretty well, there was a big pit with about 5 very hard to fight enemies, at this time I had 60000 souls which is a hell of a lot, and I tried throwing fireballs into the pit, they didn't work so I tried moving closer and then fell in, got all my equipment destroyed and lost all of those souls. Instant rage quit.
Wouldn't any death you experience while dual-wielding Bone-Wheel-Shields be a stupid death because, you know, you're dual-wielding Bone-Wheel-Shields? I'm aware I may be missing something.lapan said:
OT: Those few times in Dishonoured when I've gone for a gigantic drop-assassination and missed. A supernatural bringer of death, has ghosted entire precincts of the City Watch and left narry a trace save for the occasional blood-smear on the cobblestones. Falls four storeys and smacks the pavement and dies in a crumpled heap right in front of a very startled guard. Smooth.
They are surprisingly effective. I actually have a playlist of me beating every Dark Souls boss with Dual Bonewheelshields on my youtube account (some of them even NG+ because i only started recording halfway in). I played through the entire game with those weapons as soon as I had enough strength to wield them. You will have to enchant them though since they have no scaling at all.EeviStev said:
Battlefield 3 campaign. My friend reached the room where one of the characters was killed on camera. He was just messing around jumping on the chair, when it suddenly glitched and catapulted towards the ceiling, insta-killing him. He never messed with chairs after that...

I Typically take two squad medics into a fight, one was already bleeding out and the second one was on his way to stabilise(but in cover). There were two alien Mutons(big guys with big guns) in play. My assualt trooper (with silly high amounts of health) had run right in front of one of them fired and promptly missed (somehow). The only character with action points was a psychic heavy, who had a very small chance of hitting it so tried using a psychic power. I only had one that wasn't on cooldown and that was Psipanic, which makes an enemy panic act unpredictably potentially shoot at his own team and skip his next go. Figuring the worst that could happen was that my assault tropper would take plasma to the face(which he should be able to handle, what with all the health) and the best would be he would turn round and shoot his friend, I gave that a go. The Muton did indeed panic, in his panic he promptly shot and killed my medic who was at the limit of his vision. There went my best 2 medics, the only one in barracks was at a very low rank and was not up to the job.

Had a couple in Black Ops 2 last night.Playing Domination on Yemen I run to capture the B flag at the beginning.As I reach it I hold the b button to dive to prone only to completely overshoot it and plunge into the nearby ravine resulting in a suicide.What makes it worse is I did the exact same thing a few minutes later

When it comes to plot deaths, (spoilers by the way) Kat's death in Halo Reach was the dumbest thing I've experienced. She was shot once...by a needle-rifle. Granted it was in the back of the head but it was one shot! She had no reason to have her shields switched off, especially when you're at war, on your homeworld, with enemies surrounding you.
As for dumb deaths I did to myself though...I feel like every time I lose in a fighting game, to the first person, when the difficulty is 1 or 1 star, I can't help but feel like an idiot.

Well actually on my server (Shadow Council ) there was a sport of sorts largely for tanks for a while around the time of burning crusade called "Mushroom Diving". The idea was to put on as much HP granting gear as possible and then jump off of progressively higher mushrooms in the swamp area in the BC areas (the name eludes me). It started about survival, but then turned into contests to see if people could do the math right to land with exactly 1 hit point left (or as close as possible).shrekfan246 said:
Since it was just for bragging rights, I think that counts as "stupid deaths".
