welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 20
brutal video game deaths for this list
we'll be looking at the most creative
and bloody ways video game characters
meet their end
be warned there are plenty of spoilers
ahead which demise do you think is the
most brutal let us know in the comments
below
number 20 norman jaden heavy rain
[Music]
as a game that heavily features quick
time events it's no surprise that it's
packed full of deaths but the one that
stood out to us the most is norman
jayden's encounter with jackson neville
aka mad jack when the junkyard owner
doesn't take too kindly to being
investigated jaden finds himself trapped
in a car on its way to the crusher if
you fail this particular qte jaden meets
his demise while still inside the car
we're not sure how he's still able to
scream after being crushed though
[Applause]
number 19 leon s kennedy resident evil 4
it can't be easy being leon s kennedy
what with having to constantly face off
against hordes of zombies or in this
case just plain crazy people while on a
mission to rescue the president's
daughter he comes across a remote
village filled with folks who revere the
cult responsible for the kidnapping
unfortunately they don't take kindly to
outsiders and turns out that one of them
has a chainsaw should leon allow him to
get too close he ends up getting an
instant game over
number 18 columbia officer bioshock
infinite
1912 raffle
has officially begun turns out there's
trouble in paradise in the floating city
of colombia bound together by zealotry
violence and prejudice booker dewitt
doesn't exactly get a warm welcome when
given the option to toss a baseball to
an interracial couple booker outright
refuses and turns on the announcer only
to find himself grabbed by the
authorities where he's recognized as the
false shepherd that makes you the
backstabbing snake in the grass false
shepherd
booker's way out of this jam is a rather
messy one after distracting one of the
guards he gets his hands on a skyhook
after slamming the officer's face into
it
number 17 benjamin carmine gears of war
2.
the carmine family probably has some of
the worst luck in the entire franchise
in the first installment anthony carmine
was sniped down by a locust while his
younger brother benjamin suffers what
can be considered a far worse fate when
he's swallowed by a riftworm despite
marcus phoenix and company's efforts to
save him they find his body half
devoured by the acidic and creepy as
hell nemesis
of course he doesn't die immediately
with just enough breath in him to give
marcus a letter to hand to his last
surviving brother clayton rest in peace
ben he didn't deserve to go out like
that
number 16 adam mcintyre dead rising
everyone used to laugh at me
nothing like a zombie apocalypse to
bring out the worst in humanity as frank
west cuts his way through a mall filled
to the brim with undead he also finds
himself encountering a whole plethora of
psychopaths who have used the apocalypse
to let loose their inner sadist one such
man is adam taking your childhood fear
of clowns and making it a million times
worse by adding two chainsaws to the mix
after defeating him adam decides to end
his own life
by falling on his own weapons which
start to cut him to pieces all the while
laughing like a maniac
number 15 lara croft tomb raider
in this reimagining of lara croft's
origins her exploits take on a much
grittier turn as she has to survive the
elements push past a whole heap of pain
and fight against an endless swarm of
psychotic nomads armed to the teeth if
players aren't quick enough on the draw
they'll soon find themselves watching
lara suffer some very unpleasant deaths
out of all of them the one that gets our
skin crawling the most is when she's
sent tumbling down a river and should
she not swerve out of the way ends up
getting a spike through her
number 14 emily until dawn
[Music]
in all honesty any one of until dawn's
death sequences could make this list as
their homage to camp classic horror has
provided some real winners that range
from hilarious to excessively gory in
the end we had to go with one of emily's
more vicious ends during her escape
attempt from the wendigo
[Applause]
she gets put through the ringer while
attempting to flee from the monster on a
conveyor belt which turns out to hold a
rock crusher at the end of it should
players fail the following quick time
event she ends up falling in and turned
into minced meat
number 13 everything doom
demon possession
now here's a death we can get behind
well to be specific a whole bunch of
deaths through the medium of a much
beloved weapon in this latest reboot of
the classic fps players not only get to
pummel in the heads of demons with their
badass new suit as well as shoot them
into bloody chunks but also get to rip
them apart with a chainsaw
after being recovered from inside a
corpse the doomguy has the option to let
her rip and carve up any enemy he comes
across with this beautifully barbaric
tool of death number 12 hermes god of
war 3. the spartan lights the way to
dusty death
kratos is an artist when it comes to
killing off gods and just about anything
else in between him and his goal though
he saves the best deaths for those that
lie at the peak of mount olympus one
such death is that of hermes the god of
messengers after taunting kratos
endlessly about his quest for vengeance
the ghost of sparta gets his own back by
cutting hermes legs off in order to take
his winged boots for himself
it's not quick either since kratos makes
him crawl away before slicing off the
other leading his body to disintegrate
into a swarm of flies you should have
kept your mouth shut hermes
number 11 isaac clark dead space two
[Music]
isaac clark has seen some horrific
sights during his time as an engineer
and experienced some of the glorious
deaths in all the video games but the
blood-soaked crown belongs to this
infamous moment from the series second
installment in a bid to remove the
marker's presence from his mind isaac
has to crawl into a claustrophobic
machine where a needle slowly descends
toward his eyeball
should the player make the wrong move
the needle as well as the rest of the
automaton comes crashing down
number 10 adam shepard silent hill
homecoming it's okay i don't blame you
leave it to pyramid head to suddenly
make things very unpleasant in the midst
of apologizing to his son alex family
patriarch adam shepard has little time
to speak his peace before his body is
gruesomely bisected by the fearsome
pyramid head
while we don't see the act in progress
the look on alex's face says it all
number nine david the last of us
you think
we sense that this might be overkill
then again the situation didn't exactly
call for a light touch ellie a teenage
survivor had just spent several minutes
dodging and fighting off manic survivor
david before he pins her down
in a desperate bid ellie manages to
reach a nearby machete and take a swipe
at her aggressor giving her the brief
moment to take the upper hand and take
it she does
number eight marcelo bronco max payne 3.
many things can be said about marcelo
branco but deserving of brutal death
isn't one of them yet that's how the
scene is set when our hero max payne
tries to save marcelo the kracha preto
military factions leader milo reggio has
the young mr bronco stuck in a stack of
tires which he sets on fire
it's a senseless moment of violence
though it provides max with an excuse to
exact equally brutal vengeance against
marcelo's killer
number 7 vladimir makarov call of duty
modern warfare 3. goodbye captain price
a fitting end for such a tyrannical
character in the final mission of modern
warfare 3 former soldiers captain price
and yuri conduct a raid on makarov's
hideout in dubai unfortunately for yuri
makarov is prepared executing him in
front of price price does not take this
well compelled by rage he beats makarov
into submission before tying a noose
around his neck and smashing a window
out from under them the two men plummet
one man lives to fight another day harsh
as this may seem it pales in comparison
to the immense human suffering makarov
has caused
number six d the walking dead 400 days
you guys sure gang up on me a lot lately
honey that ain't true tell me one time
you sided with me in the last week the
last month she wasn't exactly the nicest
lady but dee probably didn't deserve
this one of the stories in 400 days
focuses on bonnie a recovering addict
traveling with married couple leland and
dee when bonnie is separated from the
two in a daring escape she flees into a
cornfield and prepares to fight her
pursuers with a reaper as her weapon
sadly bonnie misjudged her target and
it's d that ends up taking a blow
what are you two up to her slow and
painful passing complete with harsh
final words for bonnie makes it all the
more brutal you're gonna be fine dee
you're gonna be fine number five douglas
holliday fear extraction point
douglas holliday leader of a delta force
unit working with the first encounter
assault recon team probably wasn't
expecting to get harassed by a ghost and
yet that's exactly what happens as
holiday is surrounded quickly by
demon-like entities and thrown about
like a ragdoll
what's unsettling is how calm he is
throughout the extended sequence even as
his limbs are twisted and his body is
dragged around although we're morbidly
impressed by the explosive conclusion
it's still a terrible way to go number 4
andrew ryan bioshock would you kindly
would you kindly
would you kindly end the brutality you
as the voiceless hero jack are set to
deal with andrew ryan the co-founder of
the underwater city of rapture however
ryan is one step ahead of you delivering
not only a speech but also one of the
best twists in video game history
powerful phrase
familiar phrase what results is a case
of swift yet harsh violence as jack
beats ryan to death with his own golf
club
there's no way to stop it no manner of
controlling jack's actions in this scene
leaving us as a witness to the end of an
age number three
joel the last of us part two
speaking of golf clubs nothing caused as
much outrage within the gaming community
as the death of fan favorite joel miller
following his questionable acts at the
end of the first game joel finds himself
captured by abby the daughter of one of
the fireflies that he had murdered she
proceeds to exact her revenge on him
with her friends before finishing him
off with the golf club
what makes this one worse is that ellie
is forced to witness all of this first
hand
please get up
number two molina mortal kombat x
take her away in a game that gives you
intimate control over the brutal
violence you enact upon your enemies it
makes sense that any death that you
don't control would be especially over
the top at this point in the single
player campaign molina is captured by
kotal khan being emperor of the outworld
means you have to make some tough
choices so khan orders his second in
command devorah to execute molina with
what can only be described as the
ultimate kiss of death
fun fact that's not acid eroding
molina's face it's actually hundreds of
tiny flesh-eating insects

number one helios god of war three
save me now
as you won't save me from atlas
when kratos gets angry it's easy to lose
your head sorry we just had to do it as
we saw in a previous entry kratos has
been unflinchingly brutal in his
massacre of the entire greek pantheon
now setting his sights on the sun god
kratos takes the time to beat helios
into submission and then proceeds to
slowly and painfully tear his head off
it's neither quick nor pretty as we
witness every bit of flesh and muscle
slowly tear free under kratos's meaty
hands
