The 'Demons' that James are killing, are, for the most part, real people. The most concrete proof I can find of this is when you go back to the first enemy you kill, the construction site is blocked off with crime scene tape. There are certain places that are completely fabricated by James' mind, and so the Demons you find there couldn't possibly be real (The Prison), but this just reinforces his insanity further.



Spoiler:
I think the "Demons"=real people thing is only really true before the first time you enter Otherside/Otherworld. It's nice when they remind us that the town is still active and lived in(stupid movie). Up to that point it seems the town is showing James what it wants him to see to lure him in further down madness to force him to see the truth(the town is always hinted at being "alive" or at least aware of what happens in it, more so in the comics, but that may also be an aspect of Samael that in a way inhabits/possesses the town).

Okay... big list. Obviously, there will be spoilers.

Everyone in Digital Devil Saga(2). Seriously, almost every important character ends up being stabbed, shot, eaten(which is actually fairly normal, considering the rest of the game's story), crushed, shocked, or just plain burned to death up. Worst of all, you have to watch each and every one of your party members have a slow and agonizing death scene.

Most memorable death? The Quinten-guy buys it in the punisher. Terrible movie, and the only moment with a sense of decent action.

The scene in "Shadow of the Colossus" where Agro the horse doesn't make it across that jump over the chasm. I played that level through again about 4 times, trying to convince myself that there must be a way to get him across.

For me, the Halo 3 Cortana bits, because even though she isn't dead, I was so sad that the poor computer chick was insane. I mean, it seemed like she was dead.

The other scene for me is Fable 2, when your sister dies in the beginning. It was so shocking.

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands

Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

Really I shouted "BOOM! headshot" I thought it was a nice twist at the start.


When you give total control to a computer, it’s only a matter of time before it pulls a Skynet on you and you’re running for your life.

Yeah, It was a good twist, but it was kinda crazy. I mean, killing a child in an RPG? I've never seen it before.

In your base, ignoring your logic.

Personally my favorite moment was in World at War playing online. I set up a great headshot in cliffside and fired. Just as I fired, another guy ran into my shot. I swore at the fact that I just lost a headshot when all of a sudden it said +20. I was amazed when it said headshot and another kill.

However, both I and my original target were in prone and crouching stance respectively. So when the new guy ran in the way my crosshairs were directly over the guys crotch. I still claim it to be a double headshot.

Lawrence, KS (United States)

If we're talking about memorable online kills, then I've got a great one.

I was playing a mod for Half Life called The Specialists. I don't know if you've heard of it, but it's a first person shooter that takes inspiration from The Matrix, Face/Off, and pretty much any Gun-Fu action movie (You can dive, flip off walls, superjump, pick up powerups to slow down time and dodge bullets, etc.). Anyway, it was a one-on-one deathmatch in a map that was a recreation of the Lobby scene in the first Matrix. My opponent came down and out of the elevator, and I was standing there waiting for him with a grenade in hand. I threw it at him. The grenade itself hit him, bounced off of his body, and he died. He didn't die from the explosion, he died from the grenade itself hitting him.

Playing around later, I found out that any game made with the Half Life engine causes one damage to a player if they're hit by a grenade. Even so, that has to be the most memorable frag of all time for me.

Some of the fatalities on Mortal Kombat are great. Sub-Zero's leg freeze-and-shatter come to mind, but nothing beats Kung Lao's hat buzzsaw.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

When it comes to MK fatalities, the one I enjoyed most was Sub-Zero's "pulling the skeletton out of an opponents body" in Deadly Alliance.

Chino Hills, CA

I was playing Halo 3, waaay back then when it was new. The map was Guardian. Dude threw a plasma grenade into a man cannon on one side of the map. it landed on a fusion coil, which blew up, somehow launching the other one into the room with the other fusion coils, thus blowing up a grenade on the floor and killing me.

If you want a really sick MK fatality, try out Cyrax's internal grinder. He smacks the opponent around and then pulls them into this grinder in his chest and sprays the gore everywhere.

I was playing halo 3 one time and I was in the really sandy level with the elephants. I was plaing one on one and I was driving the brute chopper around and the other guy kept trying to get me with a gravity hammer. After killing him several times, I decided to drive into the pyramid with the gravity lift and got stuck in the top hole. He came up with the hammer and prepared to kill me when all of a sudden, the chopper freed itself and crushed the other guy.

My personal favourite, however, would be the one where Sub-Zero freezes his opponent, pulls off their head, and uses it as a bowling ball to shatter their body. Very cool (no pun intended).
