Wouldn't it suck to be the pilot?

[Lucifus]

Statistically the Pilot is the least likely person to survive an impact irl....but in games they are just buggered.

 

[DazZ.]

L4D didn't kill the second pilot, at least (not sure what happens to the first pilot in Crash Course, though...haven't played it)

Wait, what?

What's Crash Course(new left 4 dead maps). And I don't remember any pilots dying in L4D

The start of the new L4D campaign (which comes out in 3 days) the starting banter is about how Zoey shot the pilot causing them to crash the helicopter from No Mercy on the way to Death Toll.

Joker may have been a gimp, but he didn't die in Mass Effect. But with the previews to ME2 and the Normandy getting totally effed, who knows.

True, and it always happens about 4 seconds after the hero gets off the ship/plane/vehicle

Pretty much.

Two things that are sure to get you killed in a game if you're not the main character:

Driving any vehicle that transports said protagonist
Wearing a helmet

Hello d1sturbed!

Ahem.

Yes.

Everywhere. It's intensely odd, if you know what I mean.

I'm not quite sure I'm the person you think I am.

Aww, sadface.

You just have the exact same avatar, which I thought was one of those custom-photoshopped ones.

But if you're'n't , sadface.

My avatar is the album cover for the Disturbed album Indestructible.

What was that? Didn't understand if that was about the topic or another comment.

By the way, thanks for the replies everyone. I can go to bed at night now knowing that i wasn't the only one to notice this.

KotOR Games:

Worst Piolets ever... they crash on every planet in the galaxy, forcing you to get a new ship or repair the damage one... JUST SO THEY CAN CRASH INTO ANOTHER PLANET.

Those are the only games in which i had truly wished the Pilot had died.

Uh... what are you talking about? I don't recall EVER crashing in KotOR 1. I will concede to KotOR 2, however. Starting the game in a damaged Ebon Hawk, the misadventures at Telos, being shot down at Onderon, crash-landing at Malachor V...

KotOR

Spoiler

In the begining, you Crash land on Taris, at the end near the StarForge you crash land on the Unknown World.

KotOR II

Seems you crash into almost every planet or obstacle along the way.

That's just because Atton was too busy staring at my bazongas.

... Yes I play a female.
