10 tragic video game deaths that made you laugh

WARNING: SPOILERS INSIDE

EX: "A tragic death can be one of the most emotionally powerful elements in video games, capable of reducing full grown men into blubbering children. Maybe it was the death of Aerith in Final Fantasy VII that made your lip quiver, or perhaps it was feeling Jacky's mourning when Jenny was killed in The Darkness that made your eyes tear up. Whichever the case, it's undeniable that the death of a likable character in a video is more than capable of evoking sadness in the hearts of gamers.

This list has nothing to do with that."

I actually thought Maria's death in GoW was kind of sad....

Also, was Jason mentally handicapped? I don't think the game ever says --would probably make it a little more tragic if he was actually mentally handicapped and not just a Darwin Award candidate.

Reibooi5017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

I didn't think Maria's death was sad basically because of what was said in the article and because the game never gives you a reason to be sad. You see her in a flashback for like 30 seconds and thats ALL you know about her. There is no reason to care unless you happen to like Dom and feel sorry for him but he is an annoying character that pretty much follows you around and dies over and over so you have to rez him over and over. Not exactly the kind of character I care about.

ExplosionSauce5017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

I agree with Jason's death. He was one of the dumbest kids ever. To be honest, I was kinda looking forward to him dying.

I would add Naomi Hunter's death in MGS4. She was a memorable character and her death was kinda sad, except that Otacon killed the moment for me :P

Sgt. Johnson's death was just typical bad storytelling.

And Maria's death is hard to feel sad about... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Shuklar5016d ago

You know on the back panel at the top of the game case, it lists features a game has, like "Trophies", "1-4 Players", "Online Multiplayer", etc? Imagine one of the bullet points was "Children Dying"! That would be hilarious.

RedDead5017d ago

Johnson's death was just unnecessary, seriously? Killed by the annoying little box? they could have made a better boss too.

Maria's death was just stupid for thereasons in the article. I just felt like it doesn't belong in the game.

I'm surpried no one had killed jason already. A real gobshite kid

reaferfore205017d ago

I thought it was funny when Garza died in Killzone 2.

Darkstorn5017d ago

I laughed when I killed 'Adoring fan' in Oblivion >:D

MisterNiwa5017d ago

He died, I took all his belongings... And then.. he came back.

SonyPS3605016d ago

I'd laugh if Mario died. Like actually died forever.

MisterNiwa5017d ago

/spoiler

I think the death of Ghost and Roach was very dramatic and had a pretty good effect.
I don't know whats funny if you use a First Person Dying scene in a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER.
Stupidty at it's finest with this argument.

Urmomlol5017d ago

The article actually did a pretty good job of explaining exactly why Ghost and Roach's death weren't dramatic at all -- it was the same sort of "SURPRISE, YOU'RE DEAD" schtick that IW has used way too many times for it to be anywhere remotely surprising.

Law of diminishing return. You keep using the same thing over and over again, it's not really all that shocking when it happens for the fourth or fifth time.

MisterNiwa5016d ago

Well, people die. And.. suprise! We die in first person view.

DelbertGrady5017d ago

When Maria died in GeoW 2 I was like "get on with it". The story was p!ss poor to be honest, but the game more than made up for it by having some really explosive and intense gameplay.

I hope they drop this whole "make the player emotionally attached to the story" thing in GeoW 3. I think it would be much more engaging if they just focused on making a simple story about winning the war and not giving up. Don't make it overly complicated. It just falls flat in a game like GeoW.

Palodios5016d ago

I know he doesn't technically doesn't die... but the Palmer scene in FF7 is hilarious.

BRAVO for including Steve Burnside. Whiny little shit, I laughed it up when he got killed.

MxShade5017d ago

Poor Jason. Poor, poor Jason.

killyourfm5017d ago

WARNING: This article does have a spoiler for a rather recent game on the 3rd page. You've been warned!

Queasy5017d ago

I was right. It was the one-armed man.

Acquiescence5017d ago

JASON DIES IN HEAVY RAIN!!! Aha, ruined it for y'all now, haven't I.

NecrumSlavery5017d ago

Jason didn't die in my outcome, but other did. It's a story with many out comes.

PirateThom5017d ago

Jason died in everyone's game.

danielle0075017d ago

It's not really a spoiler. Everyone knows Jason dies. That's why Ethan is a father dealing with loss and trying to manage with his remaining son. Otherwise he'd be happy, with two sons. & his bitch of a wife wouldn't have left him yet.

Plus, it happens within the first half hour of the game.

Acquiescence5016d ago

Oh, it's the joke flying completely over your head.

MajestieBeast5017d ago

MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously what retard created that scene.

Reibooi5017d ago

Someone who has never seen a drama or played the game the scene was going in obviously.

RememberThe3575017d ago

But I couldn't help it, it may have been the corniest scene I have seen this generation. Those guy need to stick to what they do best; space marines shooting shit and having a great time doing it.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart575695d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner0095d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic95d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack96d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing96d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic95d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos96d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin96d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris96d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine95d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz96d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack100d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69100d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07100d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn100d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid100d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog100d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992100d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
