never forget these heroic polygons
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
heroic sacrifices in video games the
standards to get into this list are
pretty high so to get on we’re sticking
with one death per franchise and not
only does the character have to die they
have to stay dead in the same game
although this rule won’t apply if
they’re revived in any spin-offs or
sequels Plus this should go without
saying but just so you can’t say we
didn’t warn you
spoiler alert Maria this is what you
wanted right this is my promise I made
to you number 10 James fallout 3 we
begin our list with the father of the
lone wanderer who died in his efforts to
bring life to project purity
and deliver pure drinking water to the
irradiated ruins of Washington DC when
the Enclave arrived at the project site
James makes a desperate sacrifice by
flooding the chamber with radiation
run-run ironically the very place that
he died would be the same place as his
child unless of course you were selfish
and sent your partner in
number nine noble six Halo Reach while
all of Noble Squad end up as heroic
sacrifices none can compare two noble
sixes final moments in order to ensure
that Cortana and the pillar of autumn
are able to get offworld six stays
behind to fend off a covenant cruiser
allowing for the autumn to take off it
is then that we witness sixes final
moments as his visor begins to break
from the relentless onslaught of
covenant soldiers Ratana all I need to
know is did we lose them
I think we both know the answer to that
number eight booker dewitt BioShock
Infinite okay so this one’s a bit
confusing because it involves multiple
dimensions and interconnected timelines
but the skinny is this bring us the girl
and wipe away the debt the player booker
dewitt is not only Elizabeth’s father
but is also the game’s main villain
Comstock only from another dimension so
in order to prevent the evil that his
alternate self will bring upon the world
he travels back to the point in his life
where the dimensions diverge and allows
Elizabeth to drown him so depending on
how you interpret that it could mean
that she never existed at all
stick around after the credits if you
want to be so confused that you puke
number seven
Dominic Santiago Gears of War 3 already
troubled by being in the hometown of his
deceased wife it was only fitting that
DOM would perish in the town of mercy
after a massive locust force overwhelms
Marcus’s squad da makes a valiant
sacrifice by ramming a fuel tanker right
into the heart of the swarm
damn
he does however leave behind one final
legacy that’s from Dom and everyone else
you killed you bitch
number six
zero mega man zero for his efforts in
Megaman X maybe his most popular but
instead were giving the nod to his act
that had the most impact in zero for in
order to save the last human colony from
a falling satellite zero stays on board
as it descends into the atmosphere
causing it to separate and destroy
itself
his sacrifice is noteworthy as it puts
an end to the lengthy war between the
humans and androids known as Reptoids
number five
Morden solace Mass Effect 3 Shepard
would have made this list had it not
been for the backlash over the ending so
instead Morden takes the slot for his
sacrifice in saving the Krogan race from
the genophage and for singing Gilbert
and Sullivan in his final moments mind
you it is possible to save Morden but
only at the loss of Rex and Eve I’m
sorry I’m not had to be made but for
merely having the option to save an
entire race he gets the nod here
genophage killed broken free it was
beginning for all of us
number 4 John Marston Red Dead
Redemption in one of the best video game
endings of the seventh generation the
Marston family farm is ambushed by the
very men that John had been working for
to cover up their involvement with him I
love you I love now go get in order to
ensure that his wife and son get away
safely John Marston goes down in a blaze
of glory
and gloomier not on the lone prairie
where the Coyotes were number three
tightest Final Fantasy X this is another
confusing one so bear with us giant
whale monster has been terrorizing the
world
Titus suddenly appears in the world
Tidus learns that to beat giant whale
monster Yoona must sacrifice herself you
will die you know and one of her party
have you chosen the one to become your
faith she doesn’t do that no one Titus
learns he’s part of a dream and if giant
whale monster dies he’ll vanish you’re
hiding something
so he says screw it I know it’s selfish
but this is my story
giant whale monster dies and Titus
vanishes as Yoona professes her love her
number two the boss Metal Gear Solid 3
Snake Eater here’s a character that not
only sacrificed her life but also her
historical reputation I gave up my body
and my child for my country to the world
she had betrayed the United States was
killed in action by naked snake and
buried in an unmarked grave deemed a
traitor but in reality she did so to get
the Philosopher’s legacy back to the US
and prevented World War 3 with only a
tragic few knowing her true story
before we get to number one let’s pay
tribute to a few honorable mentions who
also gave their lives in the digital
realm
number one the baby Metroid Super
Metroid taking the top spot on our list
is the most infamous sacrifice in
videogame history the very Metroid whose
birth you witnessed and have to rescue
ends up rescuing you from other brain
after crippling her with a powerful beam
at the cost of its own life this moment
requires no dialogue or sappy music to
capture the emotional impact to this day
it’s still a prime example of video
games as a form of art
agree with our list which moment of
heroism had you all misty-eyed for more
memorable top 10s published every day be

are we ready to finish what he started
then at last the Rebel Alliance is born
