Favorite kill, in a game

Some games are getting more and more realistic. Which also means fun ways to kill people... Dont get me wrong im not a violent little creep, bnut whats the best this you did to kill someone?

My personal Fav. Is almost every kill in Hitman Blood Money... Ahh such a fun game, the fact that the purpose is to make it look like an accident is just too much fun.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Mine is a little different. But I love beating down enemies in Valkyrie Profile. Not only can you slam them with 12 different moves executed by 4 different characters, you can follow the attacks up with as many as 4 "Purify Weird Soul" and lay waste to the poor creature.

I suppose the same could go for KH2. Using limits and reactions commands, you can earn some ridiculous combos which are as satisfying to watch as perform.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Various fatalities in Mortal Kombat, and Mortal Kombat II. So delightfully cheesy!
I think they drew it out a little too much with the friendships and babalities and what not, but the standard fatalities tended to be pretty sweet at the time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

the boss in mgs3 and NEMESIS in resident evil 3.
nemesis was realy a tough monster of monsters and killing IT was really relieving when i finally did it.

fighting the boss was also good because it was just so emotional, like it felt soo real.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

In recent years, it would have to be the room in Resident Evil 4 wherein you fight the two ogre-like creatures. There's a hatch in the middle of the floor, below which is a pool of lava. Lure the ogre over the hatch, ride a zipline to the other side of the room, throw a switch, and down he goes. What makes it memorable isn't the booby-trap kill, which has been done a thousand times before, but rather the way the creature thrashes around and throws drops of lava every which-way in its death throes. It takes a good 30 seconds or so to die, which really gives you the impression that their skin must be pretty damn thick. Any human would be dead instantaneously if dropped into LIQUID HOT MAG-MA.

Favourite kill of all time, hmmm...off-hand, I'd say one of the neatest was Reptile's "Invisible Slice" fatality. There's something really badass about seeing some poor bastard standing there, wobbling back and forth after having been shit-beaten by a ninja, and then hearing SHINNG! and the guy's torso flies off, lands 5 feet away, and a nice big ball of blood flies up and then splatters on the floor. Because of course blood always arranges itself into a perfectly spherical formation when shed by a ninja. Real ultimate power and all that noise.

So yeah, invisible slice FTW.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Crocomire from Super Metroid. There's not many first party Nintendo titles in which you watch the flesh melt off the enemy in a pool of lava (NSMB came close, but sadly, you don't actually see the skin melt, and there's no screaming, so its just not the same).

Demyx's death in KH2 was one of the funniest deaths of all time.

"NO WAAAIIII OOHHHHH UUOOOOOOHHH"

Needs to have a soundclip so I can make it into a ytmnd.

FELIPE NO

I think my favorite kill in a game would be from my multiplayer Goldeneye 64 days. Playing with the mine weapon set, equip your remote mines and throw a mine in your opponent's direction and explode it in midflight. There is not much that is more satisfying that your opponent seeing a mine flying towards his face, and when it is a foot from his nose, exploding, leaving him cursing your name as you laugh in victory.

That was always fun.

I also used to throw mines at opponents and let them stick to them. They would then run around, trying desperately to get rid rid of it. I would let them do so for a while, and then when near another member of their team, I would then procede to explode the mine, killing two (or more) team members in one go.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just forgot the best. Running through koopa troopas and goombas with the power of the super star in Mario games. Send those suckers flying across the screen or off it rather.

Quake III: Most people seemed not to like this game because it didn't adapt well to the kind of methodical multiplayer that many other titles were offering with their multiplayer. In Q3, if you weren't moving, you were dead. This made it all the more satisfying when I would juke people out, or double back and surprise them by jumping over their head and laying into them with the gauntlet.

Even better was the announcer giving them their due post-humously. "Humiliation"!

Battlefield 2: There's many ways a kill can feel satisfying in this game, and there's really too many to mention, but one of my favorites is nailing a chopper while you're in a tank. It's usually such a one-sided battle, because of the chopper's mobility, but when you're able to lead your shot just well enough to nail the chassis, and you see the "You killed" message pop up twice, nothing much can compare.

The man has taste.

In a Deathmatch game in Skulltag (Multiplayer port for Doom/Doom2), I like wearing down my opponent's health with a Chaingun or Super Shotgun, and when their health is down really low, I finish them off with the pistol.

For an even more fun and exciting way to kill the opponent, I pick up a berserk pack, charge at an unsuspecting opponent, and then punch them! With one or two well-placed punches, they should be down for the count!

How ya doing, buddy?

Ah, this reminds of good ol' Half-Life multiplayer days. Now, when you say kills, do you mean kills against the OTHER team or kills on your OWN team i.e. mostly suicide. XD

We'd spend half and hour or better setting up ridiculous traps and then setting them off. Using the trip mines to set up a crazy laser light show on one of the maps that had a bridge with an underpass, we'd make it impossible to, once you set it up, get out the way you came in. And then just waltz on through and die instantly.

There's also a trick where you can set up those sack grenades and pile them on top of one another. My friend and I used to see how high we could get the blast to send our shooter into the air, so we charged up the orange beam and fired it just as the other one'd set off the sack grenades from a safe distance and then just watch. Got pretty good air that way.

Of course, nothing beats an InstaGib match on Unreal Tournament 2004. There's something special about one-hit kills in an arena with little if any gravity and no ceiling to stop you mid-flight. XD

Kills as in against the other team, of course! :biggrin:

Killing the bosses in Rocket Knight Adventures. Man, that game is hard.

And they're really well designed, too. I wasn't impressed with the sequel, but the original's bosses were always scared the hell out of me. Defeating them, or one of them was an awesome feeling. Especially the metal fish, and the purple rival (whom I cannot recall his name).

Rocket Knight Adventures was also one of those games which caused me to hurt my Megadrive controller.

My favourite way to be killed is the Empress Massacre in Valkyrie Profile. There's just no surviving that.

My current favourite way to eliminate the enemy though, has to be simple one-hit sword kills in rpgs. Raquel in Wild Arms 5, overpowered units in Disgaea, etc. It's more of the fact that you can see them swing the sword so effortlessly and instantly make the enemy disappear with no fancy effects.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I like to knock those soldiers in MGS3 unconscious, drag them to lay in front of those stationary machine guns and proceed to pump them with loads of iron. Sometimes I'll just leave them to drown in water bodies if there are any nearby.

....I think I'm evil.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anything in Splinter Cell is guaranteed to be a godly kill for the most part. Whether it be sneaking up to a lone soldier to snap their neck, grabbing them to dump them over a cliff, boat, etc, slicing their neck with a knife, jamming a knife into their back, smothering them, or just raining them with bullets or even sticky shockers with the greatest gun ever made (sc20k is the name I believe).

Some of the condemned criminal origins kills are brutally executed coolness as well. No game is as much up close and personal then this one.

Heh, I love remote mines in that game, I would usually grab a whole bunch and cover the walls and floor of a room with them and wait for my friend to walk in unexpectedly, suddenly "Oh Shi..." then dies

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Smash Bros Melee has provided tons and tons of moments like that....moments like Jigglypuff falling asleep on an electrode, or bowser beating Pichu into oblivion with his face..ahhh such fine memories.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Elder Scrolls Oblivion is the first that comes to mind right now.

The physics engine really makes it fun killing stuff with weapons like sword or bows.

Love it when you've gotten surprised by an enemy attack, and you're just backing up to gain some time to compose yourself. Pull your arrow back, and THWACK. Hit the monster right in the face just as it's jumping at you.
Sound effect is great, and gotta love it if the monster flies back a long way (hopefully down a cliff or something).

I was speaking idiomatically.

Throwing knives in GoldenEye. Possibly due to the sound effect, the weird 'WASHOO-OO-OO-OO'. Sneaking up behind a guard only to WASHOO-OO-OO-OO a knife at his arse then his face when he'd eventually turn around was the best.

Sometimes I'd switch on invincibility, unlimited ammo and slow animation, then go to the end of the Facility level where guards magically flood the place forever and just peg knives everywhere like a mad man.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Favorite kill must be in any game where I can sit with a Sniper rifle and basically shoot everyone in the face without anyone ever discovering me. (Yes, I'm a cowardly bastard)
Hitman: Blood Money is the latest game where I enjoy myself. The fully upgraded sniper, the roof overlooking the party in "A Vintage Year" and I can be entertained for hours.
"What happened to that woman? Why is she in a puddle of blo*FLIT*"
Repeat to fade!

I believe his name was Axel Gear, the Black Knight.

Yeah, that and other FPSs are where most of mine are at. For BF2, I once snuck into the MEC base in Gulf of Oman and saw a guy running to hop into the jet. The tank sat unoccupied nearby, and he didn't see me so, I just hopped into the tank and waited for the poor sucker to get in the jet. I wish I could've seen the look on his face.

A couple from Halo (1): When I was playing the game for the first time, I gained a fondness for the rocket launcher. I was in Blood Gulch heading for the other bunker, about to reach the top of this hill when a guy in a Warthog suddenly crests the hill bearing down right on me. I scream, and out of desperation fire a rocket right into it. I stood there for a second, just dumbfounded as I watched the Warthog fly over my head and land a little ways behind me.

The other one was a miraculous kill by a rocket that flew for around 15-20 seconds before hitting a moving target.

One more from UT2003: Few things are more satisfying in that game than getting a Mega Kill with one shot. I was playing an assault mod with a bunch of bots and rounded a corner when I saw the whole other team except for one come out and start shooting. I had the bio-rifle, so I gave one of the bots a big glob of goo square in the chest. Three other bots were quite close by, so they all splattered from that too.
