Kane99 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 So I saw an article earlier about 9 dumb ways to die in video games, that you can read here - GameSpew The article above basically goes over the dumb ways you can die in a game, and it starts off simple, like falling off the map, friendly fire, etc. But what are some not on this list and ones you remember happening when you died in a game? I can't count how many times I've died in dumb ways. Recently I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 and didn't notice there was explosions everywhere, even though I can scan the area. I saw some explosions, but what I didn't see, was mines laying about. So I went in there like an idiot and started popping off people. I stepped on a mine, and had no idea why I died so quick. Reloaded the checkpoint and finally figured it out. But yeah, I've died for dumber reasons. Like walking up to an enemy to stealth kill him, and then he immediately turns around to kill me. Fun times. Anyway, do you remember a time you died in game that was dumb or even funny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Getting pecked to death because I got side tracked could be one. I can make my characters in FF8 virtually invincible. But they still take damage. Well, I have a rather short attention span and get side tracked very easily. I had my characters maxed out at 9999 HP. I ended up in a battle against a single bite bug. I got over confident and set my Switch aside to do something else for a moment. Long story short, I lost track of time, came back and found that one bite bug had killed all 3 of my characters and effectively defeated me and caused a game over. I was less than happy.

killamch89 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Me baiting the Alien in Alien isolation, throwing a flare to distract so I could lock it in the room I was but the flare ricocheted off the wall, off of the desk and dropped right at my feet. Needless to say, the Alien instantly found me -_-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 For reference, check this video out. It'd be almost something like this except it bounded off two or three objects and dropped right at my feet lol Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 So there's that DLC of GTA 4 if you are familiar with it, where you play as a biker (TLAD), the mission was so long and it had only one part left which is driving back to the HQ, on the way, i pressed F by mistake (the key that's meant for exiting/entering vehicles), then a car rammed me and another truck rammed that car and exploded and i died, didn't touch the game for a week.

Withywarlock Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Sitting in an uncomfortable chair in Disco Elysium. I'm dead serious. That game is full of things that are endearing today when it would've been frustrating back during the height of point and click adventure games.

It'd probably take me a month to touch anything after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Movement of the character in Witcher 3 is very strange. If you turn, he would take a couple steps, pivot, then couple steps and slide when you stop moving him. I've gotten too close to the edge of a mountain and oops! Forgot he slides a few steps after you make him stop moving. Down I go! All the way down. Splatter! Crunch! Well dang, when was the last recent save? Oh you got to be kidding me. I just wanted to see the sunset and valley below. God damn selfie. Such a great game though. Just don't expect to jump on the horse one try. You may have to run in a circle first.

Shole Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Petting your cat and not looking where you go with car/horse/on foot and falling off a clif/mountain/into the sea xD Those are really dumb and repeated itself. Misclicking spells in wow. Throwing a bean can bomb and forgeting about it in rust and then killed by it's explosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Definitely getting shot in the head is something I really hated and call a dumb way to die. Why won't I duck to avoid the head shot? It's completely annoying to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
