Best Killing in Video Games
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 11:11 pm
As many of us are aware, murder is hardly a rarity in video games. However, very few games have payed close attention to the subtleties of death and its detail. Not to say that all games approach killing in inaccurate, unappealing ways... on the contrary, I've seen many games approach killing in a fun, detailed, and sexy way. While there is no definitive game revolving around snuff (how I do wish for a day in which one does come out...), some games I have found myself playing just for the sexually appealing murderous aspects.
A recent example of an SUPERB game is the new Mortal Kombat. As I'm sure you know, it is a game known and made infamous by its graphic depictions of death and killing. The recent installment to the franchise does not disappoint, giving us the most sexy and photo realistic deaths I've ever seen in a video game. Very few surpass this game with the sex appeal and pure, glorious gore.
A someone surprising entry to this brief list, is Rockstar's hit title, Read Dead Redemption. The murder in Grand Theft Auto IV was very entertaining, and gripping, using their Euphoria technology to deliver realistic and unique human animations. However, RDR brought that to a whole new level with updated graphics, animations, and sound effects. Hearing the sounds of a knife being thrust into and out of a defenseless woman was music to my ears. The character animations were superb as well, ragdollizing when death had been achieved, and being injured based on where they were hurt (i.e. being shot in the legs, they limp, holding their stomach if shot, etc.) But by far, one of the coolest things I have ever seen in video game gore, would be the gore brought on by a headshot. Entry wound, exit wound. Always nice to see some brains oozing out of a headshot, complemented by a blood splatter on the wall adjacent to the victim.
Sadly, could not find pictures of the specific instances described. Might get some pictures up with a crappy camera phone, or some shit like that.
A very cheesy, yet fun game, called Postal 2 was a game I learned of in the last year. It's an old PC title, GTA-esque, where you go around an open map, performing often menial tasks, in an extreme way if you wish. Combat was done competently well in the game, but there were always civilians to shoot and decapitate... and some nice looking ladies to turn into swiss-cheese with an M16. There also was an expansion pack, "Apocalypse Weekend," which added much more gore (the base game only allowed for decapitation), whether it be limbs lopped off, or torsos cut into two, separate pieces. Sadly, the expansion was VERY linear, and did not allow much room for screwing around with murder, and enjoying every kill.
Also you could pee on people. Watch them vomit. Taze them, and then watch them have a seizure, pee themselves, and then light them on fire.
(Revealed tits aren't in the base game to my knowledge. This must be a mod.)
Also, the new Gears of War game has some female soldiers in it, with some chainsaw action. Can't vouch much for that sadly; don't have an Xbox.
The Call of Duty games have had their moments. No Russian in Modern Warfare 2 was a fun murder experience; the Russian women were all fine with big tits... and all were full of blood. Black Ops has a scene where you are supposed to "assassinate Fidel Castro," and your target has a female bodyguard you and shoot, and get a nice upskirt of. Other than that, not much else I know of.
The Fallout Games. Simply brilliant. The slow-motion gore is magnificent, seeing one's head explode in graphic detail, eyeballs popping out and EVERYTHING... but it gets better. Being able to pick up and move deceased victims and items makes, essentially, a serial killer simulator. A wonderful example of this was in Fallout 3. I had stumbled upon a house occupied by a family of three in my travels. A mother, a father, and a daughter resided in the house. I went ahead, using my machete to butcher the parents limb by limb. With the kitchen now bloody, and the now dead parents in pieces, I looked for the child. While you cannot kill children in the game, you can really screw with them. I took the heads, and some of the limbs of the parents from the blood-stained kitchen, and placed them carefully in the daughter's bed while she slept.
Mua ha ha, "Good Morning, sweety."
A favorite technique of mine, is murdering someone within their own home, stripping them down naked (lady mostly), and putting their own head right in their own dead arms.
Those are all of the good killing games that come to mind at the moment.
I do, wholeheartedly encourage you share games you think have great, sexy gore. I'll try to update this thread as more games come to mind.
