number 10 barry conker's bad fur day
rare's raunchy profanity-laden
platformer is remembered first and
foremost for its
inappropriate humor but that doesn't
mean it didn't take one character's
death
seriously the entire plot revolves
around conker trying to get home to his
girlfriend after a night of heavy
drinking
but along the way he's sidetracked by
exceedingly ridiculous characters
everything from evil teddy bears to
zombified squirrels
leads him further from barry when conker
finally reunites with her for a
matrix-like bank heist
it seems he'll have a tough companion
for the rest of the game
sadly panther king has other plans by
his command
we sew guns buried down right in front
of conquer
harsh barry

number nine roman bellic or kate
mccreery
grand theft auto four let's get me
married
which of these two characters dies
depends on a
vital decision made by the player
whatever path you choose
however the results are heartbreaking
roman is protagonist nico's lovable
black sheep of a cousin
while kate is a hard to impress romance
option towards the end of the game the
player is presented with either
conducting a deal with antagonist
dimitry razkeloth
or seeking revenge on him if nico makes
a deal as roman urges him to
roman will be gunned down at his own
wedding leaving behind a pregnant widow
if nico sides with kate and chooses
revenge she'll be gunned down instead
with roman's unborn child being named
after her in respect
either way nico loses someone important
to bullets that were meant for him
okay okay number eight chloe price
life is strange you could use that photo
to change everything right back to when
you took that picture
don't nod entertainment's episodic
choice-heavy adventure follows max
a teenager who can reverse time she
discovers this ability after witnessing
the death of her childhood friend
chloe price who she retroactively saves
together the two girls then work
together to untangle the mystery behind
their missing friend rachel
chloe struggles to overcome her father's
death and resilience to find her missing
friend make her the story's strongest
driving force
unfortunately it turns out that she's
also at the very heart of the conflict
in the game's climax it's revealed that
saving her leads to the destruction of
the entire town of arcadia bay
by this point players have really come
to care for chloe
which makes this final decision an
incredibly painful one
i'll always love you
now get out of here please do it before

number 7 simon ghost riley
call of duty modern warfare 2.
we're almost at the lz what's your
status over we're on our way to the
ocean
let's go continuing the narrative of the
first modern warfare
this second installment follows members
of task force 141 as they hunt down the
terrorist vladimir makarov
one npc member of the outfit is ghost a
british special forces operator
named for his iconic skull balaclava
ghost's overall design and british
phrases quickly established him as a fan
favorite character
towards the end of the game ghost
accompanies player character roach to
raid one of makarov's safe houses
ghost's valiant efforts to save a
wounded roach during the mission only
made us like him more
though successful they're betrayed by
general shepherd who shoots them both at
point-blank range
the suddenness of ghost's death at the
hands of an ally was shocking to say the
least
number six morton solis mass effect
three
her survival fortunate will stabilize
new government should rex get any ideas
good match promising future for krogan
the high-stakes nature of this sci-fi
epic means losing many close allies over
the course of the series
even so the death of morton solis stands
out
this solarian geneticist was among those
responsible for the genophage against
the krogans
which sterilized the vast majority of
their population defined by the guilt he
carries with him however
the morally complex character has
devoted the rest of his life to helping
others
sadly that life is cut short while he
attempts to finish the cure for
genophage
players can choose to shoot him if not
he'll sacrifice himself in an explosion
to dispense the cure at the shroud tower
number five dominic santiago
gears of war three
get out of there the world of sarah has
been utterly ravaged
both by war and nightmarish locust horde
as such there aren't many
happy moments to be had but knowing that
fact doesn't make
losing the player's character best
friend any easier
dom santiago has a harder time than most
having been forced to mercy kill his own
wife in the second game
but he earns a hero's death during a
particularly tense mission in gears of
war 3.
while marcus and the rest of his team
are pinned down dom drives his truck
into a fuel tank to save them
his fierce loyalty to his friend made
him instantly likable
a final line to his wife and an
instrumental version of gary jewell's
mad world
made his sacrifice all the more poignant
number four cortana halo 4
how oh i'm the strangest thing you've
seen all day
cortana is an ai companion who aids
master chief throughout the halo
franchise
like with all advanced ai in this world
cortana begins to develop rampancy
a condition that will essentially cause
her to think herself to death
saying goodbye to cortana was never
going to be easy her sarcastic wit and
unwavering alliance to the player made
her an invaluable ally
seeing her mind deteriorate as the
moment grew closer was torturous
as her last act cortana split herself
into fragments to sabotage didack's ship
and saved master chief but not before
the two shared one final moment together
though she returns in halo 5 her
villainous turn after entering the
domain
only reaffirmed that cortana we once
knew
is gone welcome home john
number three henry and sam the last of
us
blueberries found a whole stash of them
you want some
no hey man relax we're safe
it's best not to get attached to your
companion in this game it's a lesson we
learned the hard way from tess
but when characters are this well
developed it's impossible
not to care joel and ellie come across
brothers henry and sam in pittsburgh
spending more time with them than any
other characters
the group goes through several harrowing
experiences against despicable hunters
and swarms of infected
strengthening their bond the brothers
dream of joining the fireflies they
still believe
in a cause for good that dream is sadly
snuffed out however
when sam is bitten and turns in the
night henry shoots sam before turning
the gun on himself
leaving joel ellie and the player to
process this unspeakable tragedy
henry number two
vesimir the witcher 3 wild hunt
you all right
[Music]
had a nightmare a boat
take forever to explain
dawn some way off we've got time the
battle heart in vesimir
is the oldest witcher alive having
survived the brutal assault at kermorin
he's not quite as nimble as geralt but
vesimir holds his own
acting as a father figure who is always
ready to offer advice to help take down
a destructive beast
vesimir is mostly absent while the
player takes geralt on various quests
but he pays the ultimate price when the
wild hunt finally arrives the home of
the witchers
with almost everyone frozen by magic
vesimir is the only one left to defend
siri against evil specters
before she can surrender herself he
stabs general imlerith
who snaps his neck in retaliation siri
gets no final words with her savior
but his sacrifice speaks volumes

it's been over two decades but aerith's
death still hurts
the cheerful flower shop girl
immediately captured the hearts of
gamers everywhere in 1997
though her high magical stats and
ability to heal your party also made her
a valuable asset
as a last member of the spiritual cetra
race she feels she is the only one who
can truly stop the evil sephiroth
while praying for an incredibly powerful
spell to stop him
aerith is impaled by sephiroth in one of
gaming's biggest gut punch scenes
it traumatized so many gamers that
multiple rumors on how to save or revive
or spread online
for years
