there are some things you just can’t
prepare yourself for welcome to
watchmojo.com deaths did you know that
the first video game RPG tried to be a
Dungeons & Dragons game without the
Dungeons & Dragons license if you want
to know more then make sure to check out
our countdown of the top 50 most
influential video games of all time on
our gaming channel mojo plays for this
list we’re looking at the times when
videogame characters were killed off
totally out of the blue as long as
nobody saw it coming and the death in
question is permanent
then it’s liable to make the cut it goes
without saying but there are major
spoilers ahead you have been warned i’m
todd haberkorn whose total sum of deaths
and every Mario game since I could
pronounce Nintendo would turn you to
8-bit 16-bit 32-bit and next gen
consoles stone I feel more than adequate
to guide you through this McCobb list of
cg cadavers
number 10 the Joker Batman Arkham City
but first if you would be so kind and
over for as long as we can remember the
Joker has constantly tested the Dark
Knight’s moral code making him question
if it wouldn’t be in everyone’s best
interest to do away with the Clown
Prince a crime that being said nobody
expected that the Joker would ever
actually die let alone in a critically
acclaimed video game franchise like the
at the conclusion of Arkham City Joker
seals his own fate by accidentally
destroying the cure for his own
self-inflicted blood disease it’s the
least he deserves for all the people
he’s murdered yet watching Batman
symbolically carry his lifeless body
fills us with a twisted sense of sorrow
who’s laughing now
[Music]
number nine the rapture Booker do it
BioShock Infinite burial at sea sea
she’s come to see the Booker is Comstock
revelation was shocking enough on its
own I got great just spoil the game for
myself awesome but Elizabeth’s
subsequent quest to kill every version
of her father across all their alternate
realities was a whole other level of
horrific after spending the first
episode in raptures underbelly looking
for Sally a young girl Booker lost while
gambling
Elizabeth suddenly turns on her
companion as it happens Sally’s been
turned into a little sister and has her
Big Daddy murder Booker while Elizabeth
stands by and watches callously you’re
about to be it’s made even worse by the
fact this version of Elizabeth is also
killed that we don’t find this out until
episode two teeth even Columbia’s
number 8 eli palmer farcry 5 it’s fair
to say that the majority of protagonists
found in FPSs are also mass murderers
did you think you were free the Far Cry
franchise is certainly no exception and
while you generally get to choose who
you do and don’t kill far cry 5 decided
to take all that agency away after
another mind-bending encounter with
Jacob seed the deputy is brainwashed
distressed Eli’s death won’t necessarily
pull on anybody’s heartstrings but as
the leader of the local militia battling
the seeds he was still a pretty likable
character and vital to the cause
making his death at your own hands comes
straight out of left field number 7
Sarah the Last of Us there’s something
bad going on do you understand me
Naughty Dog certainly knew the perfect
soul-shattering way to prepare us for
the darkness of this masterpiece and it
all took place within the opening 30
minutes after being introduced to Joel
and the adorable relationship he has
with his 12 year-old daughter Sarah the
game proceeded to rip it all away via
one hell of a prologue after their car
crashes in the middle of a pseudo zombie
apocalypse
Joel flees with Sarah only for them to
be cornered by a soldier under orders to
shoot anybody he comes across infected
while Joel survives the encounter Sarah
isn’t so lucky and bleeds out right in
front of our father’s eyes look at it
this way it’s one less mouth to feed
oh come on don’t say too soon this game
has been on sale in the PlayStation
Store over a dozen times don’t do this
don’t do this to me number 6
Ethan Forrester Game of Thrones well
aren’t you the little Lord no wonder you
can’t open the gate and keeping with the
tradition of the books and the show
telltale games aimed to continue George
RR Martin’s habit of killing off as many
characters as possible as shockingly as
possible best
let’s see you bend the knee to my father
despite this Ethan foresters brutal
murder at the hands of Ramsay snow still
came out of nowhere
mainly because Ethan was only a kid
aren’t you the brave no attempting to
gain the Foresters lands after the death
of the family patriarch at the infamous
red wedding the bastard of Bolton ends
up going to his usual extreme when he
violently stabs Ethan in the neck so
much for negotiations I think we’ve come
to an understanding touching me feel
better about all this number 5 Dominic
maybe I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you
but you’re with the kids now that’s home
yeah this endearing soldiers spent most
of the series searching for his missing
wife Maria a character arc we were
pretty sure was going to end in tragedy
ensues turns out his depressed wife
disappeared after their children were
killed by the locusts on emergence day
paving the way for Dom’s highly personal
stake in the ongoing war his story
doesn’t get better from there as it’s
ultimately revealed that his wife was
converted into a locust and Gears of War
3 he truly becomes a martyr for the
cause sacrificing himself to strike a
blow to the locusts and rescue his
[Music]
number four to be near automata is this
primary a virus considering this game
has numerous branching paths boasting a
different ending for every letter of the
alphabet
not everyone will have been witness to
this particular demise as the logic
virus causes chaos among the yura
androids primary character to be finds
herself infected with it
facing a slow and agonizing death as a
result while the game offers some hope
that to be may overcome the virus this
never comes to fruition subsequently the
rogue unit a2 becomes the game’s
replacement hero after she mercy kills
to be these memories take care of
everyone for me take care of the future
a – unfortunately when third
protagonists 9s witnesses this he must
understands the situation swearing
revenge we know how you feel nines to be
Kalli ow
number three john marston Red Dead
Redemption just got to learn to shoot
straighter you get yourself eaten by
some animal very funny Paul thank you
son
nowadays rock star has a bit of a
reputation for killing off their main
characters but the tragedy of outlaw
John Marston was something nobody was
expecting
who is it Paul it’s just some old
friends you know uncle take care of it
after he finishes assisting government
agents tracked down and killed the
members of his old gang our favorite
cowboy was promised a peaceful life only
to be betrayed at the last moment I love
you now go John’s last stand ends in him
outgunned and shot to pieces serving as
a punch in the gut for everyone rooting
for him to finally escape his violent
at least we can take solace in the fact
he was able to save his family but not
solace in the fact that I just ruined
Red Dead Redemption part one for myself
and now I gotta go play part two knowing
that I haven’t beaten part one by the
time your turn comes hell this could be
the nicest farm in the county maybe Paul
number two ghost and Roach call of duty
modern warfare to get that Intel
Shepherd out of computer and start the
transfer general Shepherd has a special
place down in videogame hell after all
he’s a traitor the cause of most of the
problems in Modern Warfare’s narrative
and lest we forget he murdered tasks one
revealing his true colors with his
untimely betrayal Shepard continues
Fanning the flames of the us’s

while he does get his just desserts in
the form of a well-aimed knife to the
eye that doesn’t lessen the blow this

few honorable mentions it is done the
way lies all before you only she remains
to be found

myself not bad
number one eros
Final Fantasy 7
Sephiroth doesn’t have a reputation as
one of gaming’s most diabolical villains
for nothing
no we’re not talking about the time he
destroyed clouds entire village if your
personal stake in the story wasn’t high
enough already
then just wait until you see the one
winged angel descend from above and
impale everyone’s favorite party member
brutally stabbed while trying to summon
the only spell capable of flirting
Sephiroth’s plans
heiresses death is one of the most
distressing scenes to ever be rendered
