Have you ever beaten a game without dying once... on the first try?

[Torrasque]

I don't recall dying in Ocarina of Time ever (that doesn't count revives by Fairy), or losing any missions in any Advance Wars games; sure I may have quit and restarted the maps, but that was to save me time because I messed something up, or because I was running out of time.
I know I never died in Wind Waker or Twilight Princess. 4 Swords also had a really awesome fairy revival system, so I never really died in that.

I never really care about getting through a game without dying, unless its for an achievement/score/etc.
If I do something stupid or reckless, I should be rewarded with death.
Besides that, I get better at games when I learn from my mistakes. And dying usually forces me to think about how I can do better.

The only one that I can think of is Fable 3...and you get a nice achievement too!

 

[Plague]

I'm pretty sure I never 'died' in Psychonauts. I don't remember ever being kicked out of someone's mind. I just lost a few layers at most I believe.

 

[Nyaliva]

Golden Sun DS. I'd played both the previous games and beaten them to a pulp so I was ready when it came out. I only really came close to losing a battle with the final boss, but I still managed to win.

 

[Blue Hero]

Ghosts 'N Goblins. I was expecting something ridiculously difficult when I first played it, but it wasn't that hard at all.

 

[deus-ex-machina]

There have been a few games where I haven't died from playing through properly. I just completed ACII without dying 'properly', but I did desynchronise a few times by accidents like falling off building (it could be fairly glitchy sometimes) or jumping out in front of someone when I was meant to remain ignognito.

I managed OoT, the Fables and Overlord too.

I know they don't really count, but I have played through the last four Smackdown vs Raw games without losing a match in the storyline mode.

 

[JBGigas]

Gears of War 2 and FEAR 2, I beated both of those on my first try, without dying and on one sitting.

 

[Zulor]

Finished I Wanna Be The Guy on Impossible first go, no deaths.

Devil May Cry 3 and Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time. Devil May Cry 3 was played on the easiest difficulty which ended up being far too easy. It was still a lot of fun but I probably should've played it on the normal difficulty. I didn't die in Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time because I made sure to train constantly throughout the game, even then it was still a challenge.

 

[hensethe1]

Prototype.

Shit was so easy.

The only ones I can remember as of late are Warhammer Space Marine and Sniper: Ghost Warrior..
And Gatling Gears!

 

[jonyboy13]

DoW 2 Retribution. It was... Easy, very, very easy with the wargear. I just sent my heroes without units, then only 2 heroes, then went through the last few missions with only one hero. Was on normal difficulty.

Devil May Cry 3 and Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time. Devil May Cry 3 was played on the easiest difficulty which ended up being far too easy.

You freaked me out with the first line there... then I read the easy difficulty. DMC3 is damn hard.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

Both of the two first Assassins Creed games. (I use "death" loosely here, and count desynchronization as death for these two.)

Alpha Protocol. Not because it was easy, but because I got lucky a lot. (surviving with health in the single digits and regenerating my endurance while using first aid kits).

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. Mostly because that game is a bit too easy (even on Elite).

Persona 4. I owe it all to Chie and the rest of the Investigation Team, with their "I'll step in and take the hamaon for ya so you don't die"-actions. Saved my ass quite a bit.

Amnesia the dark descent

 

[rvbnut]

Golden Sun DS. I'd played both the previous games and beaten them to a pulp so I was ready when it came out. I only really came close to losing a battle with the final boss, but I still managed to win.

Same but compared to the previous 2 games, finishing Golden Sun DS without dying first time round is not something to be proud of. The original games were so much harder and better for it.

Btw, you can't 'beat' games. Only 'finish' experiencing single player stories. Beating a game would require you to overcome every game mechanic as well as the story. Which is impossible. Try removing the shooting mechanic from FPS. Try 'beating' the game then.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

I was rather surprised when someone told me they had seen the game over screen in the original fable.

 

[Dracowrath]

Dragon Age 2. I've played through that game several times and have yet to see the game over screen. The closest I got was half my party dead, but everytime I hang on just long enough to kill the enemies. This should be taken with a grain of salt however, as I only play it on Easy mode.

 

[teebeeohh]

probably none, i don't mind dying so i take rather high risks while playing and die a couple of times even in easy games. oh and i killed ezio a couple of times in ASCII, just to see him die.

Yeah. Devil May Cry 3 is borderline impossible on the hardest difficulty. I can't think of a harder challenge.

Nah, I'm just kidding.
