take it from us making this list will
cost you an arm and a leg welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 video
games with the best dismemberment before
we begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re taking a
look at games that make use of
dismemberment in their gameplay as a
mechanic whether it’s used for spectacle
or hilarity number 10 time killers
[Music]
samurai cavemen and knights
oh my about a month after the release of
mortal combat in 1992 we saw the arrival
of time killers this 2d fighting game
gave players the option to sever the
limbs off of your opponents at any given
point in the match just allowing to hit
the right place at the right time thanks
to the variety of savage characters were
given a wide selection of methods to
bludgeon our friends with ranging from
chainsaws to swords to stone axes and a
light suit
I mean plasma sword unfortunately
dismemberment was the only reason this
game is basically remembered as a
terrible Genesis port prevented it from
reaching the cult status it may have
deserved number 9 chivalry medieval
warfare as enjoyable as it is to hear
tales of knights fighting dragons and
saving princesses this game proves that
night warfare is just way better tasked
with storming fortresses and slaying
opponents chivalry features some gory
ways to slaughter those who oppose you
giving you access to maces bows swords
and axes of course if traditional team
plays in your style you can take on
other players in a series of duels
almost like those tournaments you could
watch at Renaissance Faire the only
difference here is that the game isn’t
as harmless as the joust at those fairs
there are no survivors
yeah number eight Ninja Gaiden to stab
me once I’ll keep going stabbed me twice
still going three times yep still alive
we swear that has to be the model of
some of these foot ninjas Ninja Gaiden 2
teaches players that just because your
enemy is incapacitated doesn’t mean that
they will stop trying to kill you it’s
sort of like if Monty Python’s Black
Knight was a crazy suicidal ninja amidst
the chaotic hack and slash gameplay it’s
pretty easy to miss one half-dead enemy
and that can spell disaster for you on
top of all that the slicing and dicing
of enemies is quite a spectacle to
behold
adding to the games already graphic
ultraviolence number 7 Dead Island
remember how teary-eyed the announcement
trailer was how incredibly sad the story
was do you also remember that bloodbath
created by dear old dad okay so let’s
recreate that no not the tragic scene
the bloodbath Dead Island has you set
out to explore a tropical beach resorts
that had been infected with zombies this
Resort is a pretty diverse array of
weapons for you to find and use to tear
into the flesh-eaters so grab your
favorite axe crowbar spiked bat or
pistol and slay in the words of Charon
Oh heads will roll number 6 Metal Gear
Rising revengeance
even though Konami hasn’t exactly been a
Goldstar publisher in terms of how they
treat the developers getting this
spin-off hack and flash title to
PlatinumGames seems like it was a good
move so if you ever want to take a break
from the critically acclaimed Metal Gear
Solid there’s a good alternative for you
bloodthirsty action fans in the form of
Metal Gear Rising revengeance
[Music]
whatever
revengeance bring back fan favorite ride
in for a sword slashing gorefest and you
immediately get that sense of the game’s
prologue through the use of the game’s
blade mode hacking your victims limbs
off never seems to get old as fast-paced
combat ever made dismemberment more of a
literal bloodbath than this maybe if we
got five more entries
number five God of War series
from the outside dawn of war looks like
your typical ultraviolet game up close
that’s exactly what the game is times a
thousand the God of War series has made
players slaughter the Greek gods through
incredibly gruesome methods you need
some examples kratos relentlessly bashes
his fist into hercules his face using
gauntlets he then tears off the head of
you eos using his bare hands he also
smashes beside his head against blocks
of ice before gouging his eyes out he
also tears out the intestines from
Chronos from the inside oh you know what
we’ll stop now the last one actually
made us a bit nauseous and it
technically wasn’t even dismemberment
what are we doing
number four soldier of fortune damn this
game is graphic soldier of fortune is
considered a technical achievement in
kill animations although we’re not sure
if that’s something to be proud of yeah
it is dubbing the areas of effect as
gorzon the game games players 26 visible
zones to damage their enemies these
included not only headshot but they also
gave players the ability to shoot the
neck stomach bowels and of course the
limbs a little too squeamish to handle
this game well they’re technically is a
tactical low violent version ports that
removed all the gore from the game can’t
find a copy well practise your
marksmanship because the only peaceful
way to progress is by shooting the
weapon out of the enemy’s hand otherwise
it’s just raised some hell number three
fallout theories can you believe this
series is nearly twenty years old talk
about making you feel old yet it’s that
system still serves up ton of the most
hilariously gory ways to dismember your
enemies well at least starting with
fallout 3 before then it kind of look
like this
anyway using the old bump tech assisted
targeting system you know fast for short
you can choose which appendage you wish
to assault so go for a headshot then
hello in other words bad lets you pause
for a moment and makes mr. scary
go away when you unleash your barrage of
a munitions you’re often treated to some
hilarious ragdoll physics seriously
what’s funnier than exploding the limbs
off of an under leveled raider after he
spouted some trash-talking at you and
this whole thing makes us sound kind of
crazy number two Mortal Kombat series
you surprised well neither OE
recent games have shown that despite
adage moral combat still has some very
creative ways of slaughtering our
enemies and slicing up their limbs while
we’ve always had the classic fatality
system the series has introduced death
traps that grinder impale x-ray moves
that make you question how the victim is
still standing brutalities that service
shortcut kills and create your own
fatality feature which was actually
pretty underwhelming regardless the
newer versions have proven to be just as
hilarious and disgusting as the previous
installment did we mention that cheesy
shiny reference from Johnny Cage here’s
Johnny before we unveil our top pick
here if you wonderful mention
[Music]
[Music]
number one dead space yep it might have
looked like an easy win from Mortal
Kombat at first but dead space provides
a much more unique take on dismemberment
in video games as it’s a key to survival
here most horror games allow simple
headshots of kills dead space requires
you to incapacitate Necromorphs in order
to escape unharmed and you do so by
chopping their limbs off
not only was dismemberment vital as a
gameplay mechanic but according to
Guinness World Records 2010 gamers
edition dead space set a record for most
character death animations and video
games this game really really tried to
be violent and they really really
succeeded do you agree with our picks
