I started Prototype today and played for about two hours.

I then checked my stats and noticed I had killed somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 people (military/pedestrians/whatever). That's an average of ten kills every minute. That seems pretty damn high. That made me start trying to think of other games that match or surpass that level of sustained carnage.

The only game I can think of that easily beats Prototype (and most other games I'd imagine) is Defcon, where the entire game is about nuking cities so you kill tens of millions of people every game.

I imagine there are games where you destroy planets and whatnot, but I imagine that is a fairly rare occurence in most games. Though I guess killing several billion people just once in a game is going to make its average kills over time still pretty high.

Crackdown is like that when you are not free-roaming.

Actually, even more so in the Keys to the City DLC if you have certain settings on.

 

[RockmanWhore]

I'd really like to see some stats like that for games like Contra or Gunstar Heroes

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Dynasty Warriors. You kill 600 people in 5 minutes.

 

[Wario64]

What about that PS2 game that's like Dynasty Warriors and has 10,000 enemies on screen

 

[DogWelder]

^And the Dynasty Warriors clone N3.

Yeah, now that I think of it, most shmups have pretty high kill counts.

Like in Raiden Fighters you are shooting down squadrons and squadrons of fighters and bombers and whatnot. If you consider pilots and crew for every one of those you are easily killing a hell of a lot of people per level.

 

[Archie]

Dead Rising tunnels?

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Dead Rising tunnels?

They're all already dead though.

 

[CTLance]

There are some settings ("cheats") in Saints Row 2 where all pedestrians and cardrivers aggro you. I guess if you turn them on and survive long enough for police and FBI to joind the fray, then 600 people in two hours will be friggen peanuts.

 

[Ermac]

The Stairs

 

[DogWelder]

They're all already dead though.

And only if you have the mini chainsaw, it's more fun/challenging without it.

The Doom NUTS.wad

I have never, ever seen first-person carnage on such a scale.

 

[Forkball]

Think about all of the people slain when you roll up countries in Katamari Damacy.

 

[Fuu]

I believe shmups wouldn't really fit into what's being proposed but you do shoot and kill many, many enemies by minute in them.

A more curious mention would be Katamari Damacy. It has a very high kill count too, all of those animals and people die be it by being crushed to death while being rolled or by asphyxiation when they are sent to space.

Edit: damn you, Forkball! Beaten by seconds.

 

[Wario64]

Also, what about Geometry Wars? You kill a bunch of enemies in that game. Craploads depending on skill.

[Sciz]

The Serious Sam series comes to mind, from a straightforward "player vs. individual enemies" standpoint.

[ntropy]

Mortal Kombat, Smoke Fatality

Wasn't it? Or was that PAL only?

Holy hell. :lol
Localized this baby stat!

 

[MisterHero]

Bowser kills the Universe in Super Mario Galaxy

Mario doesn't save it, but it's reborn

 

[Raist]

I remember that game :lol

My personal record goes to Galactic Civilization 2. My Korath jihad was just shy of a trillion in a Immense size map.

hour long tutorial? yikes.

 

[Fuu]

hour long tutorial? yikes.

What?

 

[Concept17]

Total War games...and basically most RTS games.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Kills in general? probably Defcon

Kills of rendered AI characters? probably Empire: Total War.

 

[Raist]

hour long tutorial? yikes.

:lol

 

[whitehawk]

hour long tutorial? yikes.

I don't get it.

 

[Tenden]

I don't get it.

Wait for it...

played for about two hours

killed somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 people

2 hours = 120 min

600 (kills) / 120 (min) = 5 kills every minute

average of ten kills every minute

Hence:

hour long tutorial? yikes.

(1 hour tutorial + 60 min gameplay killing 10 people/min)

 

[Mindlog]

Always a good excuse to plug and great golden game.

Masters of Orion 2

 

[traynuvthawt]

I knew someone would get it, and the fact that Tenden did makes his avatar even more perfect.:lol :lol :lol

Aw man, I miss MoO:BaA. Shame the third in the series was such a dud.

 

[ToxicAdam]

I was going to say Loaded (PS1 game), but looking at old youtube vids and there were barely any enemies on the screen.

Memory fail.

 

[UnholySpectacle]

What about games like Smash TV and Total Carnage. I would love to know how many people you shot down in Total Carnage.
