Every time Auron was killed in battle in FFX. Terrible character, like less interesting more over the top solid snake with a touch of the gay.

The marine who dies during the beginning mission of Mass Effect. There's you, Kaiden, and some complete gimp who runs into the middle of enemy fire and gets himself killed.

I didn't think "what a tragic loss", I thought "what a complete git."
haha, Jenkins. Yeah, you'd think they would have at least made him a really endearing and cool character over the course of a mission or so before he died...
Uhh....his name is Jenkins. He's a cultural reference...why would they make him into a deep character?

Randomly generated Turkish Horse Archer # 1247 from Medieval 2: Total War Kingdoms. Sure I didn't know the guy that well, I mean he was one of thousands of soldiers in my army, but when he got hit by that arrow I just didn't think much of it. Whatever, you know? Though now I feel kind of guilty for my indifference. I bet the poor guy had a virtual Turkish family or something.

Unfortunately when Devin Ross dies in Jericho. It is rather tragic, but the point was that we already knew he wasn't going to be gone.
Same with Cole and Jones. They died rather gruesomely, but their powers wouldn't have really helped in the final battle anyway. So their death wasn't really serving a purpose.
I'm surprised someone played that game at all...let alone knows the characters names.

Also: The grandfather of the main character of Prey. So long pops!

Emma in Metal Gear Solid 2. It just went on and on and on. This, coupled with the fact that after that point you're essentially watching cutscenes for about an hour just annoyed me.

I regret anytime a character nearly escapes death...'you arn't supposed to get away! Your supposed to die while I have my character use the laugh emote!'. Really I try to put them in those situations of certain death.

When your helicopter pilot and that second Rainbow team gets killed in Rainbow Six Vegas 2. They played up how tragic it was and I was just thinking "Eh...Sorry...not feeling it because I'm not even aware of what their names are..."

I remember playing the demo for Haze. They tried to make the death of that nameless pilot all sad and tragic. It wasn't. Although, I was laughing my ass off so hard at the horrendous dialog and voice acting that I missed 90% of the conversation.

On that note, almost EVERYONE who has ever died in a shooter. The characters are often little more than cliches, so any sort of emotional impact that their death might have had is lost.

When Kaiden (Optional) dies in Mass Effect. I never really cared for him, nor Ashley.

When someone dies in most JRPGs. If it is a women, I'm always all "HA! That is what you get for fighting demons in your bra and panties, you whore!" If it is a guy, I'm always all "HA! That is what you get for fighting demons in your girlfriend/mom/sister's bra and panties, you cross dresser!"

I think Axel is the only character I ever cared about when they died. I liked Axel, he was pretty cool, maybe a little homosexual. But cool nonetheless.

Most characters I laugh when they die because I'm finally free of them. Take that Whisper. I always hated you.

I second everything you said, it's like you were reading my mind. Except I never played the Haze demo but I'll take your word for that.

That guy in F.E.A.R. - I forget his name. Jansen or something? But like in the second mission it's instantly obvious he's dead and I was just kind of... "oh well."

Prince Rurik from the Prophecies Campaign in Guild Wars, especially back when he was buggy and just ran into every mob within a 10 mile radius -_-

I seriously cheered, loudly when I saw him get crushed.
I kinda felt bad for him. Sure he was the Guild Wars version of Leeroy Jenkins, but he never died excessivly...at least not when I was doing the missions...of course, I was a monk.

Hmm...well, I suppose in Call of Duty 4 when the chopper pilot goes down and you have to go rescue her, I didn't really feel very attached...then again, that is likely because after going through the first time it is always overshadowed by the death that follows shortly after, crawling around in the post nuclear city until you breath the last breath.

Maybe if there was a bit more time between the chopper going down and the bomb going off I would have thought more on the pilot's death. But then again, since almost 99% of the characters drop dead in that game, it's kinda hard to pay attention to the death of the minor npcs.

Of course, thats not with a major game character. On the topic of major characters, there were quite a few of those who dropped dead at some point also, and I really didn't feel much remorse for any of them in particular, especially at the ending. It was more like "what the hell...thats the ending?"

I actually thought the fact that it wasn't physically confirmed and you just saw him sort of tortured really interesting.


...guilty pleasure?

Claves in Eternal Sonata.

You have her for one dungeon I think, before she pops her clogs. And she's nothing special.

Then later on there's a ridiculously big dungeon from which you can revive her, and get little Gamerscore. But she's rubbish because she's been dead for so long. Somethings telling me she's Lv 14 when you revive her o_O

Stuuuuuupid~
