Yeap. I couldn't bring myself to do it in my first playthrough. He's a shady drug dealer and you're supposed to kill him to successfully complete the trial the murderer set up for you. In return, you'd get a clue which brings you one step closer to saving your own son.

But killing a man in cold blood while he's pleading his daughters' room and showing pics of them. The thought of his daughters coming back home to that-- eesscch. Chose to forfeit that trial, clue be damned.

Me too bro. Couldn't do it. Ethan's thoughts are also crazy during that scene. It goes from "He is just a drug dealer. Scum. He probably sold drugs to children and ruined their lives" to "Can I ever look into the mirror again?"

I felt bad when KOTOR1 made me kill Mission in order to take my rightful place as head of the Sith Empire. She was my favorite character.. I wish you had the option to just leave her ass on the alien planet or knock her out and bring her on board.

I said Zalbaar had to do it. Talk about cold.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Conquest route in Neptunia mk2.

I have no idea who thought it'd be a good idea to include an ending where you

Spoiler

kill half the cast

in such a light-hearted, humorous franchise.

Spoiler

Blanc and the twins

in particular was completely what the flying fuck.

 

[Roto13]

I killed a random elk or something in Kingdoms and Amalur and felt a little bad about it. I thought there might be some kind of hunting system or something, but nope. Such a waste of life.

I also would have felt bad if I'd killed the cats in Soul Sacrifice.

This has probably been posted, but

Spoiler

pretty much everything

in Nier.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

I did in Spec Ops The Line, particularly after the white phosphorus scene.

Don't bring it up.....that was awful man. Everything in that game. The ending was so controversial. The choices were done perfectly also.

 

[Roto13]

"It feels like nothing could go wrong today!"

I didn't know it could die, I swear! I whacked it one time too many!

In repeat playthroughs, I stopped short of delivering the killing blow. So all it got was brain damage. I'm a good person.

I abused chao in Sonic Adventure years ago.

In the original version, it was really easy to accidentally commit Chao genocide with Gamma. They changed it in the rereleases, I think.

I made them cry.

The cats during nights in Skyward Sword. I stopped playing the game for half an hour to think about it, seriously.

You can't kill those. You can slash at them to make them run away or you can throw them off the island but they'll just fly back up.

 

[PumpkinPie]

I've bought three separate Monster Hunter games and sold each of them after playing for five minutes. The reason? Killing herbivores minding their own business with their calves

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Slaughtered thousands of innocent civilians in Skyrim, then my housemate genuinely admonished me when I killed a dog. Can't stand people like that.

 

[rudieboy77]

Intentional or not OP asked a complex question fallacy.

Fuck you, this is NOT how you do this. Asshole.

[MrSaturn99]

Don't deny it.

 

[Dennis]

We have a killer on the loose

¯\_(°_o)_/¯

 

[Ominym]

I do remember always trying to save the marines in Halo because I didn't want them to die. No real purpose though, considering they don't help at all and die almost instantly.

I also felt bad shooting Lambert in Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

 

[Piggus]

In Tearaway I threw a gopher into the ocean. I don't know what I was expecting -_-

Felt bad.

Shadow of the Colossus, the Thread

Little Sisters

 

[Brawl96]

Yes.

Spoiler

The Sasquatches

in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

Ditto.

 

[Grizzo]

I'll admit that I felt guilty when I killed an innocent animal in that terrible South Park game on the Nintendo 64. I mean, look how cute that bear looks :

Plus the game makes you feel bad when you do kill one of these when it counts how many "innocent creatures" you did "needlessly ko'd" :

Though I must say that I was pretty young at that time.

Spoiler

But I insist, that bear looked really cute.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

The Solarii aka the bad guys in Tomb Raider(2013) they just wanted to go home and here comes this crazy girl killing all them in the most brutal ways.

 

[angrygnat]

I am always the "Good guy". I catch spiders and let them outside. I try my damnedest to catch mice and let them go if at all possible. I go hunting but never shoot an animal. In game I am always the medic. I always go out of my way to save the civilians. I drive in the street only in GTA. I have been known to enter the "nutter" code in Vice City, and go off once in a while though. No ones perfect.

 

[jroc74]

I was gonna say no until I read a few posts in this thread.

All I will say is its few times I did...and it would be spoilers. I wont even say which game(s). So for me games like GTA where its gonna happen whether you want to or not no matter how careful, I dont have a problem.

Main story line killings, end game.....yes.

 

[methane47]

Oh man killing the giant wolf in dark souls made me soo sad... Especially when he was limping and whimpering I still feel bad about it to this day

 

[ZealousD]

Another vote for the whales in ACIV. Feels bad, man.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Executing suckas in Manhunt.

 

[ChiliManiac]

I love wolves, and I hate killing them in any game that has them.

 

[Assassin5twenty]

The red dead redemption Yeti...lol.poor bastard.

 

[Hyperactivity]

I don't know if this counts, but the death of

Spoiler

Curlyif you get the Booster v0.8 and the death of Professor Booster

in Cave Story made me feel horrible. I deleted that save file and try to forget it.

 

[Roto13]

You don't really have to kill whales in ACIV.

Though I guess a whale still had to die for the whale parts you buy at shops for upgrades.

 

[shem935]

Colossi :/

 

[Assassin5twenty]

Oh...Also the airport scene in MW2.I didnt know what to think,I tried shooting the bad guys,but they killed me 2.lmao.

 

[Frologic]

Colossi :/

Can someone elaborate on this? I've beaten this game three times now and don't really feel bad about killing them. I understand most of them don't try to kill you unless you provoke them but for the most part they were just giant pieces of emotionless rock that were in my way. It would have been interesting to see colossi whimper in fear or try to escape a fight but nope, they just wanted me dead from the first attack. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Ahhh....this games entire premise...if you pay attention to finishing the storylines and watching what items you have to find on the next play through is depressing. And the twin kids part I felt guilty.

EDIT: Wrong game.....lol. I was thinking about The Cave.

I saw a White Whale while diving in an Underwater Wreck. I can hear their call/songs and I had to pause and take a screenshot.

A few hours later, I felt a little guilty for butchering 6 of these creatures. I had enough to craft the Hunter outfit, but the Social Sharing for these keep popping up.

I honored their sacrifice by purchasing Elite Mortars with the proceeds.

 

[Magwik]

Has Frank O'Connor posted yet?

That's just cold

 

[LiK]

Yep

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Going renegade in Mass Effect 3. Shepard what are you doing, stop. You monster, stahp.

I don't particularly care for killing the whales in ACIV.

 

[kyser73]

Turtles & whales in ACIV.

The mention off phosphor in The Line makes me want to play the game even more, since its a direct reference to the use of white phosphorus munitions by US forces in Fallujah.

 

[halfbeast]

I think I speak for everyone (who's played Demon's Souls) when I say...

Maiden Astraea

yeah, I was thinking of her too, although technically we don't kill her, she loses the will to live after you killed her boyfriend. which is even worse. ;_;

 

[xkramz]

The animals of gta V :l

 

[Seth Balmore]

Aside from specific characters or enemies, I always feel bad when I have to kill animals in videogames. Unless it's mandatory I just can't do something like that.

 

[oSoLucky]

Only Crossbreed Priscilla in Dark Souls. Especially after learning her back story and why she's there to begin with.

 

[Mistouze]

I'm sorry, pikmins.

 

[Seanspeed]

Why on earth do we have to do this in Battlefield 3? The rat isn't an obstacle to me getting through there. It will move. I shouldn't have to fucking stab it in order to get by.
