Worst way you have died in a videogame

[Signa]

Thief 1 was exceptionally glitchy. There were several times where an automatically closing door, or pulling yourself up onto a ledge registered as getting squished to death. Every time it happened, I'd jump in my chair because I thought for a moment that some one ran up behind me and back-stabbed me.

I also played Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 the other day, and I had a really hard time remembering that Q was not the "switch weapon" button that it is in the other shooters I play. It is in fact the "throw grenade" button, so I killed some hostages, my self, and even my brother who I was playing Co-op with. This happened several times too.

There's just nothing quite like getting swarmed in Left 4 Dead when you're this...close...to...rescue.

I actually had a tank punch me into the Helicopter in no mercy.... the problem was that I couldn't tell the chopper to fly away since I was downed.... the horde couldn't jump into the chopper to get me so I had to slowly bleed out while everyone else had to try and get through the tank and the horde to get to me.... they all died and I was left sitting in the chopper, bleeding, while the retard pilot just sat there...

Fallout 3, just stupid, i got out of the vault and got one of those "OOOHHH" moments (when you just have to stop and look because all of the beauty placed by the developers??)

so i walk up to the hill and am looking around when i see in the little street down one of the enclave bots, take out the bb gun and aim a few shots at that thing

little did i knew that frikken bot would laser me so i jumped startled and fell to my death

i was all... "now that was stupid" hahaha

I got my ass kicked by a six-year-old in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I've been playing SSB since before that kid was born. D:

Also in the MMO Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine, my stupid demon ran off and aggro'd a mob of pixies right over to where I was standing. I was almost level twenty and got killed by level two pixies. Albeit, there were like, ten of them, but still. DX

fallout 3 i jumped form the highest ledge only to land on a metal railing one, leg each side! the word OUCH!! comes to mind! despite the fact that my character was facing the other way, i felt i could still see his expression as he then flopped off the railing and off the ledge it was on down to the ground!

I had a death that was similar to an ODST's in Halo Landfall. I was sniping in ODST when a brute cheiftan sneaks up on me and slams my face into the nearest wall.

 

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

Don't know if this counts as a death but i was going of the main ramp in Slappy's Skatepark in Skate 2 and in mid air my guy decides now is a good time to HAVE A COMPLETE SPASM OF FLYING ROUND IN THE AIR AND EVENTUALLY FACE PLANTING INTO THE FLOOR.

Getting headshotted with a pistol in CoD4 multiplayer...by a 7-year old girl. *weep*

Well, in TF2, the most humiliating moments are when you turn a corner and see Stickies or a crit rocket flying towards you. You know, those moments where you don't have time to utter a curse before you blow up, but just enough time to see what killed you. Yeah, love those.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. AI has a bad habit of being a jerk too. One of my many experiences involved a blowout (basically a wave of radiation you have to hide from). I took cover under a bridge with some other guys. Screen goes black signaling the end of the blowout. Before the screen is returned, I hear the guy in front of me scream. My view returns, I see something quickly dash to the side. As I was wondering what that was, I see a zombie that I blast. He falls, but didn't die, so in a moment of heroicness, I stand of top of it's corpse and blast it in the head. I look up, and a Bloodsucker (invisible scary guys) is staring right at me before punting me across the tunnel. That is what I saw dashing to the side. I died.

Other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. moment: I see a bunch of corpses scattered around a construction site. "Ok," I think, "It must have been some beasties that wiped this guys out. Time to plunder!" As I'm searching them, I look up at one point, right into the barrel of a double barreled shotgun. The bandit responsible for the killing spree said hi to me with his boomstick. I died.

I think just about any way that Isaac can die in Dead Space is probably the worst I've experienced.

As far as protagonist deaths go, I don't think I've ever seen any be beheaded and their lifeless body controlled by a strange parasitic life form.

Second would be Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 4 who dies in a multitude of ways, one that springs to mind is having his face melted in rather detailed fashion.

In Oblivion when i decided to kill my Adoring Fan by punching him, the MOMENT i hit him my controller gave up and i got beaten to death. but when i got it working again i took him to dive rock and knocked him off with a fireball (the upgraded type that explodes and kills nearly everything)

 

[asdasdasdasda]

My most memorable death would be my first character in Everquest. I was in Blackburrow, and fell through the trap in the tree. Got owned. Lolz

 

[Jedamethis]

Those damn 'The Guardians' are annoying...

 

[IamQ]

In uncharted 2. I was about to throw a propane tank, and just as I had thrown it, someone with a sniper rifle shot it, and it exploded right in my face.

It might not be the worst, but it sure as hell was embaressing.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Anything I ever do while playing StarTropics.

I got killed by a *deep breath* a starfish, a bat, a fucking chicken skeleton. Also got owned by water more than once because I keep forgetting you can't jump more than one square.

Dumbest failure of mine was when I was fighting a boss and I confused attack for jump so I plummeted into the water and died.

vergil killing dante at the top of the tower Devil May Cry 3

 

[Fudgo]

In TF2 on 2fort, standing on the ol' standard sniping deck, when an enemy sniper SOMEHOW got into our fort and right behind me, and taunt-killed me with his bow.

And this was my best friend too, which adds a bit to the frustration.

 

[Plank of Wood]

Dwarf Fortress, where I managed to trip over a butterfly and get mauled by the local skeletal wolf horde.

My First one was playing Battlefield 1942, I killed a car coming towards me, the flaming wreckage kept sliding and killed me.
My best one wasn't my death, but my friend's death that I caused. In Halo 3, he tried to laser a ghost, while I PERFECTLY dropped a frag grenade, it exploded under the ghost, which caused it to fly over the laser shot and soar through my friend, splattering him.
