The 25 Most Revolutionary Kill Moves In Video Games

Complex - Kills. Takedowns. Specialties. Call them what you like but they’re all the same thing – finishers. Give any gamer that right combination of movements and they’ll lead to one person standing over the other. Maybe it’s a fireball to the face or a sword ran through the back. Either way, sawing your enemy in half with a chainsaw attached to a machine gun in Gears of War or ripping out a cyborg's spine in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is worth every second creeping up on them to do it. Sit back and practice those analog stick movements, boot up into multiplayer and go own somebody.

Sub zero's fatality in the original MK created the ESRB rating, how is that not the most revolutionary kill move?

NegativeCreepWA4049d ago

I know Gears already has two spots on the list, but the curb stomp should be in it.

Morgue4049d ago (Edited 4049d ago )

MK was cool back in the day at 7-11 and then on Sega CD but I could never do the finishing moves. In the end I don't really care because that series Is just blah for me.

BitByter4049d ago

This list is more of the best kills moves of this generation than a most revolutionary list.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk23h ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
