I'm surprised noone mentioned the death of Wesker in RE5...
I didn't get to see the game form beginning to the end, but I caught that fight and, while it was intense in a way, all I could think about was, "wait... that's it?"

If I was to place another RE character I know.. probably Luis(methinks) from RE4, pretty much the over reaction Leon had right after also didn't help.

Oh and to compared with the example set by the OP, for some reason I'm remembering the beginning of a Robocop movie right now, the guy survives what? 7 close range shotgun shots and die when the main bad guy shoots him with a pistol?
Trust me, I was furious when Wesker got killed off in one of the lamest ways possible.
The main antagonist of the whole series gets killed by crappy RPGs? I mean, seriously?
He DESERVED so much better than that, seriously.

On a sidenote: I think that Chris Redfield is to the RE series what Charlie Sheen is to comedy - way overrated. Leon would've been much more suitable for "saving the day" (I'm a fanboy, I know!).

Sorry for the offtopic.
If you were a true fanboy you'd know that Wesker isn't dead. Capcom will never truley kill Wesker, they'll just bring him back without explaining how he survived. (Maybe Uroboros created a cacoone for him to survive in the lava)

I'm sensing a touch of hostility there. Simply because their opinion differs from yours of a "true fanboy's" doesn't make them incorrect.

Miranda Keyes from Halo 3. She fights like a champ, then gets shot in the back. It took me by surprise, but afterwards, I was pissed.

No, no. You went off topic to be sure, but it needed to be said. I too am for Leon Kennedy and against the Wesker death. He's WESKER! Maybe he's not even dead, maybe he's just waiting under the lava...just waiting...for...a better idea that Uroboros I guess (he won't be waiting long, lol)
Extreme offtopic:

I SINCERELY hope that Wesker somehow survived. Seriously, the most badass villain of all horror series (in my opinion at least) gets basically "cheapshotted", if such a word even exists.
On the other hand, I can guarantee you that I am looking forward to all upcoming installments in the RE series (both movies and games).
Personally, I'd like to see more of Leon. He's just the most badass character ever, considering he's merely human without "superpowers" and such.
To answer any future questions - yes, I am a huge "survival horror" fan.
Considering how fucking hard you have to work to kill Wesker at the end of RE5 (its a 4 part boss if you count the QTE movie) i don't think i'd call his death cheap. He was poisened, shot, kicked out of a plane, shot a whole bunch more, knocked into lava, and had to eat two RPG rounds in the face. Thats pretty awsome.

Now i agree that i hope he isn't dead. He was an awsome villian and one of the most fun end bosses i've fought in a long time.
HE'S NEVER GOING TO DIE. If you think he's really dead this time your dumb. You "kill" him at the end of every RE game he's in

There's a similar thing to the end of Fable 2 in Starfox Adventures which is an amazing game by the way but you finally get to fight the main bad guy who's been causing all kinds of mayhem for 99% of the game and you thinking 'this guy is finally going to get his comupence in the form of my staff smashing in his skull', then a deep voice is heard as the real bad guy reveals himself and kills the other bad guy.

No, It wasn't a competition of fanboyism, I ment it more as it's common sense that he will never die, so if he's claiming to be a fanboy, he should know that.

The way Kat dies in Reach, also if you lose any crew members in ME2, none of them are good deaths.
Actually, I always felt that crewmember deaths in ME2 were supposed to be "bad" deaths. It seemed to me that it was supposed to be like a real combat situation, where there are times when someone dies just like that.

Do you mean that its a lame death, or its a bad way to go?

Either way, Mafia 2, anyone whos played that game would know the answer. [or read YZs extra puntuation ;) ]

Mine goes to the death of Lewis in Resident Evil 4. He is just standing there casually when a giant tentacle spike impales his chest and then the main antagonist is standing there with the obvious drop on Leon but instead he exits the room just as calm as before. Then Leon lets out a long:

"LEEEWWWWIIIIISSSS!!!!!11!!!" in mourning of his death like he just lost a gay lover or something.

I also want to address people saying Kat's death in Reach was lame or didn't make since because of her shields. The reason her shields were down was the huge EMP that went off beforehand and while her death did seem to have no buildup or be in any particular order, that was what the developers were going for. It was to show that there was no safety and that at any moment someone could be killed. Anyways, that's just my two cents on the subject.

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.
That's exactly what I thought. I blinked, and missed just as the shot fired, then realized that someone died. I thought that it was
Carter, but I then I progressed, and found out it was Kat

OT: I think for me, it was... The above post. I just can't think of anyone else...

Basically anyone that died in Reach. Every death was done in a cliche way. The chick who died by a sniper shot was interesting though, you don't see that in many media types. Usually, the deaths are either long and drawn out, or the person sacrificing himself for the greater good.

Jihl,(the hag that manipulated Sazh's emotions for shits and giggles in ff13) was the ONLY villain that received any buildup in that game was was brushed aside so Barthandelus could have his grand entrance (heaven forbid a villainous character with buildup actually deliver, no Barthandelus couldn't wait 5 minutes!) she didn't even looked dead, they literally pushed her to the side, and completely forgot about her, I had to read the damn datalog to know she actually died!

KUTNER!

Oh wait, you said games. Did they ever make a House game? No? They made a CSI game. Someone work on a House game!

Games...games...OOO! Achenar from Myst IV. He died because he didn't think to hold his breath the fucker!
There is a House, M.D. game. It came out about two weeks ago for PC, Mac and Nintendo DS. Getting bad reviews from what I've seen.

Back on topic...

How about Dash Rendar's death in Star Wars: Shadow Of The Empire? Guy is a fantastic pilot and then somehow bites it in an asteroid field? Well, that's if you read the comics. If you played the game then he's all fine and dandy having somehow faked ramming cockpit first into a giant space rock.

Actually there is a House game out. And while I think it was sudden, I think it was a good decision for the series. Plus, it's kind of hard having the actor do that and be on the white house staff at the same time. Though I agree, that was a WTF moment for me for that show.

As for games, I'd have to say Arith. Not because of it being emotional, but because of the fact that characters die all the time, but she magically stayed dead for some reason. Made no sense...

Other then that, I'll go with Kat for Reach. It was just one moment she's alive, the next she's dead. Great.
My problem is, there were a dozen different ways he could have been written off, and the one they chose was the cheapest.

I would have preferred him leaving similar to how Amber left. A case House failed to solve in time. But unlike Amber, he had a shot. If House was a matter of minutes faster with the diagnosis, Kutner would have survived. That would have fucked with his head a hell of a lot more.
Actually, there were very, very few ways he could have been written off. He had to be written off because he was chosen to be part of the Obama administration. That easily would make him very busy, and mean that he wouldn't have time to do a full episode like Amber (who still appeared in so many later episodes) was able to.

So they had to figure out a quick way to get rid of him that made some sense and would hit the audience hard. When something so shocking like that happens so suddenly, it draws the attention of the watcher. Plus, they had already had the House guilt trip happen, so it would have been redundant and fairly boring in the end. I mean, going from Amber's death to a similar one so soon would have felt cheaper then that really. Plus, House was actually the CAUSE of Amber's death in a way, so that's one of the main reasons he felt so guilty about it. And House was given something to feel guilty over that actually is pretty strong for him (priding himself on knowing everything about his team, he wasn't able to see Kutner killing himself coming and therefore did blame himself for it in a way).

I think they did it the best way possible given what they could do, or even at all. The event had a significant impact without feeling like it was just Amber all over again so soon, and it actually made Kutner more interesting as a character in some ways.

I'm gonna go with Tychus Findlay, sure he was the typical, gruff space marine archetype character but I liked the guy, and after everything he and Raynor had acomplished, hell he even hijacked the odin and took it for a rampage around town, to just be downed by one pistol bullet to the face, thats just bad
"Jimmy, the Universe isn't ready for the RAW sex appeal I'd bring to their boring lives."
He deserved better. Is it wrong I could relate to him?

Sgt. Roebuck (i think) in CoD: WAW. He gets stabbed by a banzai even if you shoot the banzai and Infamous.
Trish's death is so stupid because she dies anyway! I chose the evil one and my friend did the good on and when he told me i was just like WTF!! WHY!?

And the helicopter pilot in Bad Company 2. Stupid Russians in Suth America.... and also anyone who falls of a train in Lost Planet 2 and gets killed by a marine in AvP
