I can't believe no one brought up the "execution" deaths in RE4; basically, they're a special little scene that plays out when your health is in the red and the blow dealt does enough damage to kill you. For example, the chainsaw dude's execution kill has Leon holding the chainsaw back until the chainsaw goes into his neck, and Garrador has this awesome thing where he impales his head, then guts him. They're pretty gory, but cool.

One of two of the worst ways to die in RE4 in my opinion was when the Garradors would skewer your character's head, lift him up, and then skewer his stomach. The second way was when the Novistador would spew acid on your head and your character dies with all the skin rotted away.

Good job reading the thread, Glorb.

Running out of time, the wierdest way to die

You know, I've always wondered what it is about the timer running out that kills our game characters (other than the fact that the programmers programmed it that way)..

Games are games, not reality simulators. People these days often seem to forget that.

So playing as Mario saving someone's life is just a game? I HATE timed levels on all games.

An LoZ simulator would ROCK.

I'm sorry you don't understand how games are designed.

Me neither, nobody knows, except you, Chup! So please, do tell.

I'm pretty sure that Chup means that these are GAMES, not real life action simulators, meant to take you away from this world to an otherworldly place. Therefore, the time limit adds a new element of challenge to the GAME. Sugesting that time limits are stupid is as ignorant as wondering why monoply dosent use actual money (though some people do play with real money).

Funny thing, too, as to me one of the hardest games in the Mario series is SMB2 (US) which had NO time limit!! Bwahahahaaa!! I'm impossibly bad at SMB2. I got 99 lives using a shell and infinitely generates Shy Guys, and still came close to a game over near the end.

You know what a lousy way to die in any game is? Falling through the ground. I realize that game design is a long and arduous process, and it's virtually impossible to find and fix every bug, but [wtd]?!

Oh, by the way...

When a zombie comes out and screams at the top of their lungs right when you are about to the end of the mouse avoider game

MaxVance · « **Reply #101 on:** February 20, 2007, 09:04:08 PM »

I bet that scream has given a few people fatal heart attacks.

I approve of this Worst Way To Die. :)

BLUE SHELLS.

You don't actually die with Blue shells, you just get hit.
