Worst way you have died in a videogame

[tom919]

I was on Assassins Creed and I jumped off a view point and Altier being the dozy bastard he is jumped at a ninty degree angle to the way that was safe and into a very surprised guard. I got killed by the fall he got killed by the small aresnal of falling knives

 

[purplegothchick]

Depends on your definition of 'worst'. If you mean the game itself screwing you over cos of a glitch or something, I died before on Saints Row 2 when I bailed out of a plane and my parachute failed to deploy. Aaaaaargh!

 

[Red Pawn]

A few years ago, a few friends and I were playing split-screen Halo: CE on Blood Gulch (though my friend, whose house we were at, swears it was Sidewinder) - me and aforementioned friend in a 'Hog, two others a good distance away; the first giving cover fire with a Sniper so the other could make a run for the SPNKr.
We splatter the sniper - who thought it a good idea to come out in the open - and Rocket Man takes the shot. I, manning the M41, decide to bail. "No, wait!" cries my now-twice-aforementioned friend, as he send the 'Hog into a fishtail.
The rocket hits me square in the chest and throws me to the opposite side of the map, slamming my startled corpse into the canyon wall.
And we all laughed, and laughed, and laughed.

in Warhammer online, with my Sorceress, in PVP, blasting people so much, that the backlash kills me.

its fun when the screen reads "you where killed by Aunell"

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

I played that for a while. I got killed by a guy grappling the third toe on my left foot. He musta ripped it off for it to do that much damage. And don't mess with kids in that game, my friend was playing Dwarf Fortress and got his eye ripped out by a kid he cut the leg off! XD

L4D I got punched by a tank survived it and fell to my death it was also fucking awesome

Beating people to death with their own upper torso never gets old.

I think the worst death for me was probably when you're Sgt. Paul Jackson in CoD4 or when you fall to your death in Mirror's Edge. After the bomb goes off in CoD4, I was left with the feeling of hopelessness and sadness of all those people dying and the destruction left behind. And in Mirror's Edge, I hate the helplessness of the long fall down and the sound of your bones shattering on impact.

EDIT: Also, another worst of mine would be in Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, when I was playing multiplayer, I was sprinting across the field when all of a sudden my screen went black. I hear my friend laughing his *** off, so I asked what happened. He said that I just got sniped by a tank shell from probably a mile away. I later found the bits that used to be me.

GTA: San Andreas...
I had the flying cars cheat on, and i was trying to find an airplane. I was flying around in one of those golf cart type things at the airport. I found a parked airplane, jumped out, and went SPLAT. And, when i got back to that point the plane was locked anyway...

Loads of them from Nethack, a game designed to bring any overconfident gamer to tears with embarrassing(and often preventable) deaths.

Spoiler: One of the first times I played Nethack

Click on the image to read what happened in the white bar at the top.

Spoiler: Of course, the above wasn't too bad compared to something that happened a few days ago in Nethack while playing with default ASCII.(I normally play with a texture pack to prevent this from happening)

I found a wand in a random shop. It's price was 750 so I zapped it at the owner of the shop to check since the only wands that would reach 750 on that character would be Death and Wishing.
The owner didn't die and I got possibly the best message in the game "what do you want to wish for".
After wishing for some useful items(bag of holding, grey dragon scale mail, speed boots, frost brand and gloves of power), I went on to find the stairs.

Every nethack player will know what I'm talking about when I say I missed that e... But for those that never played it, "e" is a floating eye, and it has a gaze attack that paralyses you for a few hundred turns, it's also a slow moving dark blue letter on a black background. So when I missed it and tried to move on it's square, it paralysed me and I got killed by a gnome.(gnomes are one of the weakest enemies in the game)

Spoiler: And finally the first character I could have ascended with

A priestess, nothing had gone wrong up to the point where I was testing some rings because I didn't have identify and I didn't want to find myself with a ring of polymorph. A monkey stole 2 of my rings right before I was done, a few turns after I killed the damn monkey my character starved to death.(should have taken off my rings, one of them was a ring of hunger)

FEAR 2. I threw a sticky mine at a wall, but just as I did, an enemy stepped in front of me, got stuck, and exploded, killing us both.

 

[Lordpils]

Left 4 Dead I was being dragged by a smoker and then the tank came out of nowhere and punched me off the top of Mercy Hospital.

 

[Karlaxx]

Without a doubt every time I have ever done No Mercy and me or one of my friends has been batted off of the roof by a tank.

WTFGTLARGH. That is the ONLY PLACE that can happen, and it's a frikin FINALE!

 

[DJude]

once on Resistance 2, when i was killed i flew headfirst into some other dead guy's crotch -.-'

 

[swenson]

I'm standing on a very very narrow ledge in Half-Life 2, this poison headcrab jumps out at me, I freak out (conveniently forgetting that those things can't even kill me) and jump backwards... directly off the ledge, plummeting to my death fifty feet down.

:facepalm:

I felt so brilliant.

EDIT:

Sniped myself in Halo 3, everyone in the lobby afterwards was laughing their asses off.

Heh, nice.

 

[bigdaddy95]

On Splinter Cell Chaos Theory multiplayer, I was a merc and managed to grab one of the spies and there is a moment where if you have a mic you can actually talk to them! So I did, I caught him and said hello!!!! And he was like "hi......", you could smell the fail- but then I was a spy then I got caught BY THE SAME GUY and he said "Hi again!!!", I didn't even respond.....

 

[arc101]

I am a real fool when it comes to weird and wonderful deaths, and i have many in different deaths in many different games...
GTA 3: Glitching through walls, falling through the floor, randomly dying for no reason, blown up by a RPG launched by a ped, drowning after falling through a bridge.
GTA San Andres: GLITCHES SUCK (i listed about 15 glitches that killed me before replacing it with that phrase)
L4D: tank hit me, i went flying and smashed on to a railing and got imapled
Skate 2: (i know you cannot die but my best retarded bails then) going along a massive ramp, someone moved a bar and i forgot to duck, glitched, and went flying through the air, and landed (yet again) on a railing and my head was impaled. Oh, and i have landed in a bin

 

[AR34SHOOTER]

that EXACT same thing happened to me except i kept throwing them back and more kept coming it was horrible....

 

[Kyouran]

It's a toss-up between:

Dark Forces, mucking around with claymores and dropping them repeatedly at my feet with the motion sensor on. First one explodes, I launch up, fall down, hit the ground just before the second blows. Fly high enough into the air that the fall damage is fatal.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, fighting a Final Guard. He raises his shield, I'm too close, so the bottom edge smacks me, dealing damage and knocking me FORWARD. Not back, as in "knock back", but forward, i.e. like it hit me in the back and not the front. I end up in his sprite, take another buttload of damage from the contact and get knocked back to where I was. Lather, rinse in blood, repeat until dead.

I died of dysentery

stupid Oregon trail game

ahahaha, this is much, much worse then any death involving incredible violence/acrobatics. At least then you can brag in about it =p dysentery is just.....sad.

Best death I've ever caused was Sandwich-Splattering a guy in Halo between a warthog and a mongoose, the picture of which can be found here:

http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=31707919

Best death I've ever endured? hm...much harder. Most likely things already mentioned such as Tank-Punching off of cliffs/roofs, The Dead Space animation [your regenerating nemesis is particularly brutal. The Leg Sliceoff/Pickup/Total Dismemberment/Beheading is just beautiful. Problem with Dead Space is it's like...impossible to die. Except on purpose. Even on hard that game is too easy].

Recently I was playing a Halo 3 big team Flag game with my dorm-mates. It was on Last Resort and we downed the flag carrier on the left side [from the perspective on the laser/the flag building looking towards the beach]. We're trying to return it and stay alive obviously so we throw down a bubble shield which protects us from all manner of needles, grenades, and bullets. As we wait for the flag to return We see one man stand in the distance [near the Brute Shot spawn next to the fusion coils]. Not wanting to risk our lives we stay in the bubble. He waits a few moments and then throws a spike grenade. "Whew" I think. "Good thing we have the bubble shiel--" at which point the bubble shield deactivates and I get stuck in the face. FML =[ . [ =D we still won, though]
