Worst Character Death

[biGBum333]

Urdnot wrex in ME1, if you get ashley to kill'em. a noble beserker shot in the back, how lame.

Spoiler: Mirror's Edge

Jacknife

Seriously?

This. He was like the coolest character too...

Emile from Reach

He got stabbed in the back with an energy sword and could still speak like nothing happened at all... All in all i had great hopes that the character emile would do something cool at the end but well..

Wendy has died. She was the mother of three kids (a girl who is 10, a boy who is 7, and another girl who is 4), whose father had left them not too long ago after having an affair"

"Now Wendy is a zombie that you've knocked over with a park bench, kicked a soccer ball into, and run over with a lawn mower. You're awesome!"

"Now try explaining that to their kids"

Her kids are either zombies, in which case have fun with above, or have the depth of crying pixels. Both are equally laughable.

My choice is Imran Zakhaev, the russian villian from Call of Duty 4, survived a 50. Cal sniper shot and loss of an arm but gets killed with a pistol by a six-day recruit, should have been so much better.

I definately have to disagree with you, I thought it was a good death, his plan foiled he still manages to get glorious revenge on you until the last moment where Captain Price throws his pistol in a "your the big man now" moment to let you shoot him. Both groups lie dying on the bridge as a pyrrhic victory to your side.

Also Soap is no six day recruit, yes he was new to the SAS, but to join them he probably had quite a bit of experience from the infantry, royal marines or even 3PARA. There's also the fact he remains a sergeant when transferred to the SAS, when most soliders get demoted to trooper (they retain the same pay, it's just for teambuilding), while this is likely an oversight from Infinity Ward, it might indicate lots of previous experience in an equally high level branch such as the Special Boat Section.

Well since you put it that way...
Ok that makes more sense now, I'll go with my second choice, the Emporer in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Gives you the magical plot-continuation device and stands there while some assassin takes him out with one swipe of a dagger. The man's a fucking Emporer, even if he's in his 70s he's the desecedent of a fucking god surely he would have tried to save himself. Yes he knew he was suppose to die but it was shit.

Spoiler: You probably all know this anyway...damn you MW2

Gaz (Ghost for those of you that havn't played the first Modern warefare) and roach in MW2. It was pretty silly.

Also, do you agree that the power of nathan drake is stupid? He gets punched in a cutscene:
"AAAAWWW"
Shot in the game.
"...meh..."

 

[Sephychu]

Garza from Killzone 2. So damned dumb.

I was pissed that Garza died, as he was the only mildly relatable character and the only one I liked in the whole story, forcing my to play the rest of the game with Rico "I'm furken ahngreh" Vasquez.
I more hated the killing of Viscari, because everyone logical is saying "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE RICO!" for the entire cutscene, only for him to blast Viscari in the face, bringing forth EXACTLY what he threatened.

Almost everything that ever went wrong in that game was Rico's goddamned fault. He never did anything worth doing, and broke everything, yet, he was plot relevant and his death ended the game.

WHY?

Yes, because stabbing an Elite in the throat with your kukri knife isn't a dramatic way to go down. He was badass, but Bungie saved the epic, take-on-a-dozen-elites-at-once fight scene for Noble 6.

Kill Taub, nobody likes Taub.

I like Taub...

There's no reason for it. He's not a particularly likable character, but I like him.
I was sad when Kutner died, as he was one of my favorite characters. He was so enjoyable.

Exactly. I'd rather Taub died than Kutner.

Spoiler: Uncharted 2

That news reporter you had to shoulder for a while. I dragged his jiggly ass all that way just to see him get his brains blown out?! FFFFUUUUUU!

EDIT: That sound Leon makes in Resident Evil 4 when he dies annoys the piss out of me. He sounds like a walrus.

You DO know it's only a game right?

BTW: The "acting" in reach was so fucking bad. The story telling was like in every other halo game sometimes interesting and with a lot of action but all in all boring

 

[MercurySteam]

You DO know it's only a game right?

Tell that to Bungie and every other Halo fan. I seriously dare you.

Besides, this is a forum for gamers. We take games seriously here!

This is The Escapist we do stuff like this. You may as well get used to it. Plus your gamertag tells me several things. You've only been playing for a few months, you're a mainstream gamer and your gamertag name tells me that you're an immature one at that.

That's just what I'm seeing.

My old gt: was Brombaq but it got banned so thats way i got such gamertag...
Anyway I don't even wanna reply to this anymore its getting boring

the spine rip fatality it counts right? having a spine amputation sounds pretty painful or the "toasty" fatality

Kat in Halo Reach

It was so undramatic and uninteresting. It was just like "wait, what just happened?"

It happened so fast that if you blinked you would have missed it.

This. I mean what the hell happened to her shields ?
Worst however is Lucian in fable 2.
Fuck ninjas.
Oh and another one, benezia from mass effect 1,powerful biotic, who opens a few doors and then dies...

The nuke damaged all of their shields with the emp pulse.

Youd think in an age where nuke's, Emp's and planetary destroying rings are used, youd make a life saving energy sheild a bit more durable.....seriousley the spartan sheilds seem to only withstand a burst of fire.....

Well, they ARE completely new reverse engineered covenant technology. I'm sure that eventually they'll get better, but it's the best that they can do with what's pretty much a prototype.

Spoiler: RDR

Killing Williamson and the other guy in RDR. It was just so fast...

But it may have been trying to be realistic or poignant. In that case, I forgive it.

Given the game, I'd say it's going for realism. I would be disappointed in the game if it had some drawn-out, dramatic, over-the-top death for a couple of cowards. I'm also glad there wasn't a cutscene there. Well done, Rstar.

Yeah, it probably was a good move on their part, but I guess I was hoping for them to be more, I don't know, distinctive. Wearing a top hat or something, I don't know. Anything to separate them from the thirty other people I just killed.

Or hell, maybe they could have been the only people you killed that mission. Because after massacring a few dozen goons, they didn't have any impact on me.
