Typically, video game heroes are brave fighters who, overcoming pain and suffering, beat their enemies and save humanity. If such brave men die, it is only at the hands of a particularly evil scoundrel or by falling into a cunning trap. However, sometimes there are such ridiculous deaths that you want to laugh and then send the character for an IQ test. In this article we have collected the stupidest ways to send a hero to the next world! And if you prefer to read rather than watch, then feel free to turn on the video.
The isometric RPG gave gamers a fascinating plot, exquisite dialogues, fantastic quests and, of course, a charming main character. At the very beginning, the character wakes up naked in his room: his head is splitting from drinking alcohol, and in the palaces of his mind he can't even find his own name — God himself ordered to come up with the most stupid death possible for such a poor fellow.
It's not right for a man to walk down the street in his underpants, which means the first thing you need to do is get dressed. The tie, by the way, is hanging on the fan — but if, when distributing stat points, you made the hero frail, you can fail the check trying to get it and... die of a heart attack. And in Disco Elysium you can die by turning on the light from a hangover or by fighting with... a trash can. For the sake of such situations, check out this magnificent is worth the game for everyone.
The main character NieR Automata is a seductive android and part-time cosplay star 2B. The young lady is capable of tirelessly chopping up thousands of robots, regardless of their size and combat skill, and without getting a scratch. However, since the enemies can't stop 2B, the gamer can help them if he wants — he doesn't even have to go into battle.
The fact is that various chips are responsible for the skills and characteristics in the game — only among them there is some kind of OS Chip that seems useless. And why is it needed then? However, as soon as you pull it out, the game will immediately be interrupted, and the gamer will fly to the main menu. Looks like pulling the operating system out of 2B was a stupid idea.
In Resident Evil 4, the great Shinji Mikami not only reinvented the survival-horror genre and gave the cult series a second wind, but also filled the game with many interesting details. True, some of them can lead to a very ridiculous death.
The main character of the game is Leon Kennedy, who once survived a real apocalypse in Raccoon City and faced the betrayal of Ada Wong. In Resident Evil 4, you can meet the mysterious Luis Sera, who will help you fight off a crowd of terrible enemies. However, Leon, taught by bitter experience, is not obliged to trust him: instead of joint actions, no one forbids putting a couple of bullets into a new acquaintance — only Louis' answer will be appropriate. Mr. Sera will point a gun at the hero and shoot him like an ordinary zombie.
Is there any hero in video games who is cooler, braver and more savvy than the legendary Shepard? You can't say that right away. It would seem that the savior who stopped the Reapers could only die the death of the brave, but in fact, even... his own libido could kill him.
The fact is that in Mass Effect 2 you can take a very hot asari named Morinth as a team — but you shouldn't consider her as a romantic interest: the lady has a rare disease that kills her sexual partner. However, can such a trifle stop such a hot guy like Shepard? You don't even need pickup lessons here: you boldly approach, pull Morinth to you... and die! It would be nice if the sex was still hot, but in reality there were only modest kisses — yes, death couldn't be more stupid.
Portal 2 is rightly considered one of the best games in history. Incredible puzzles, a great plot and a picture that looks good even ten years later made the game a real hit. To complete it, you will have to die more than once: sometimes from incorrectly opened portals, and sometimes because of your own naivety.
At some point, the hero will have to confront the artificial intelligence Whitley, who does not even try to hide his intentions to finish you off. Why, the ninth chapter is called nothing more than «The part in which he kills you.» Whitley takes you into a room full of traps and politely asks you to stand on the platform and not go anywhere. Obviously, it's time to open the portal and get away, but... you can stay and see what happens. Just don't be surprised when the trap goes off and the hero dies.
If this is not enough for you, then the insidious GLaDOS has prepared another trap for the hero. At some point, the hero learns about the atrocities that the AI has committed and tries to escape from its tenacious clutches. However, GLaDOS is in no hurry to let the test subject go and in every possible way persuades him to go into the mysterious room and undergo some kind of test, after which everyone will find happiness. In reality, the test, of course, turns out to be a trap: as soon as you enter the room, the doors will close behind the hero's back, and the room will be filled with poisonous gas—in this case, death cannot be avoided. How could you believe the creepy machine?
What kind of adventures did the adventurer from big breasts: she found a mysterious temple hidden deep under the Great Wall of China, an ancient city located in a rock, a strange sanctuary in Antarctica — probably so experienced will the lady not fall into an obvious trap and make her doubt her professionalism? No matter how it is!
In Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Lara's journey will lead her to the Chambers of the mythical King Midas, who could turn objects into gold with a simple touch. As surprising as this may not be, his statue also retained this incredible gift: with its help, Miss Croft can turn a couple of lead bars into gold and solve the riddle, or... climb onto the hand of Midas herself. You probably yourself understand what such a maneuver will lead to. Well, why the hell did you go there, Lara?
Valheim has become one of the main hits of recent times, and this is understandable: a beautiful world, addictive mechanics, a good combat system and many enemies. In the harsh Scandinavian world you will have to fight skeletons, trolls, draugr and other deadly enemies — but they are not the only ones who can cause your death.
In the game you can drown without ever reaching the neighboring shore, freeze to death, fall unsuccessfully from somewhere, or pick up an ax in your hand and go cut down trees and... never return. Valheim has fairly realistic physics, and a tree can fall on the lumberjack hero at any moment and be nailed to death. Sometimes even forethought does not help, because a felled oak can fall on other trees, knocking them right on your head. Well, killing a couple of trolls and getting crushed in the forest is, of course, stupid.
To gain the upper hand in the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone, skill alone is sometimes not enough — it is advisable to also have the right gun in your equipment that you are used to. But what to do if you can't see anything like this nearby? Of course, call the supply box. It just happens that the harm from such a package is much greater than the benefit.
So, you throw a red checker and call for a set of equipment — don't be surprised if enemies move towards your location and a shootout ensues. It's just that during a fight it's easy to lose your vigilance and forget that very soon a heavy package will fall to the ground and, according to Murphy's law, your head will most likely be the landing site.
Equipment sets should generally be classified as lethal weapons, because sometimes they can even... shoot down a helicopter!
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular games in history and still gets solid views on Twitch. The game owes a lot to inept newbie streamers, who, with their crookedness, give rise to very funny situations and ridiculous deaths.
Imagine that the time has come for the decisive battle, and every single one of your partners has died — from now on, the fate of the confrontation is in your hands. Finally, you notice a couple of surviving enemies and are already pulling the pin off the grenade, anticipating how it will tear the enemies apart, and your teammates will carry you in their arms. And then a shrapnel thrown along a carefully thought-out trajectory crashes into the wall, flies off in your direction — and makes a boom... You simply cannot imagine a more humiliating death.

As you can see, you can die in games not only heroically, but also very stupidly — and sometimes this outcome is much more fun. In what other games can you die ridiculously? Write in the comments!
