Video game deaths can be comical, brutal, annoying, and also ridiculous. However, whatever the case sometimes when you die in a video game it is amazing. With this in mind, here are some of the greatest deaths in the world of PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Also, please note that not every single one of these deaths will be on all three platforms. However, each death will be in at least one world between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
10. GRAND THEFT AUTO
I know this is going to take some flak, but every death is amazing in this PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 game. I know I am not being specific, but go through the game and pick your favorite death. There are too many to choose from, and that is why the entire game is number ten.
9. MANHUNT 2
Manhunt 2 is a brutal video game for the PC and PlayStation 2, and the deaths in the game will make you queasy. The most brutal of them all, though, is being killed by a crowbar. This tops every single death in the game, and watching the animation of the crowbar dismantling the skull is unsettling.
8. DEAD SPACE 2
One of the characters in Dead Space 2, for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, was involved in a unique death. The character was lying on a table and a laser was reading his eye. Then, the machine’s arm dropped down and ripped his head to shreds. The scene was very bloody, and I can’t think of a worse way to be killed.
7. RESIDENT EVIL 4
Although Resident Evil 4 was originally only on the GameCube, it was later ported to the PlayStation 2, and can also be played on the Xbox 360. Anyway, this game features one of the best ways to die in any video game. Of course, I am talking about being killed by a chainsaw. This one is pretty self-explanatory, and it is a one hit kill!
6. MAFIA 2
Henry Tomasino, from Mafia 2, was brutally murdered by a group of Chinese people. This scene was very unexpected, and throughout the game, Henry meant something to the player. However, it didn’t matter because he was killed in a very messy and bloody fashion.
5. THE ELDER SCROLLS IV: OBLIVION
PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 gamers who have played Oblivion know who the adorable fan is. This fan is not the one doing the killing because he is the one who is constantly getting killed. I don’t think there is another character that has been killed more times than this bastard, and he won’t go away!
4. METAL GEAR SOLID
The death of Gray Fox in Metal Gear Solid was a very emotional, and brutal, scene in the franchise. Gamers across the world didn’t want to see Fox get killed, and that is what made it so hard to swallow. The death was done in a convincing way, and it made the gamer care about Fox even more.
3. GOD OF WAR III
This PlayStation exclusive, God of War III, gave the world one of the most memorable deaths in history. It wasn’t due to characterization, either, but due to all out brutality. The death I am referring to is to Hercules, and you literally get to smash his face into the ground.
2. MORTAL KOMBAT
Mortal Kombat is a sick, twisted, and demented fighting game. It also features one of the most horrific deaths of all-time. Kung Lao, one of the fighters in the franchise, in the newer versions of Mortal Kombat, will throw down a buzz saw and drag his opponent through it. The end result is Kung Lao holding both halves of the bloody opponent, and it is very disturbing.
1. RED DEAD REDEMPTION
I don’t want to spoil this one too much if you haven’t played the game. This death is so special, and if it is spoiled you will be scarred for life. Just know that Red Dead Redemption features one of the saddest deaths in video game history. That is all I am going to say, and if you haven’t played the game yet then do so now!
