Line 2:
Playing it may just be worse then seeing it. Here are examples of [[Eye Scream]] from video games.
----
* In ''[[Video Game/Killzone|Killzone]]'' 3's new [[Exactly What It Says
* In ''[[Call of Duty
* Within the Wii version of ''[[
* In ''[[
* In a flashback scene at the end of Saejima's episode in [[Ryu ga Gotoku|Yakuza 4]], we are treated to a very, VERY squicky scene where {{spoiler|a bound Goro Majima refuses to bow down to a low-level yakuza that's in charge of restraining him, and the yakuza drives a foot-long knife into Majima's left eye}}.
* In many ''[[
** And not just enemies: some games feature switches resembling eyes that are activated by shooting them with arrows.
* ''[[Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'' includes this. They've put a little spin on it by doing it with eyeball plants. They play a game of keep away with a jiggy, and to get the jiggy you have to... [[Squick|pop them open with bee stingers.]] Okay. [[Bloodless Carnage|It isn't too violent, given that this is rated E for everyone.]]
Line 14:
** Judgment made him lose the eyeball (thus making HIM look more like a pirate than Faust-VIII-lookalike zombie Grant).
** The cyclops is only vulnerable to headshots. But it's a cyclops, so we know they're actually eyeshots.
* In [[Dead Rising]]
* In ''[[Dead Space (
** In ''[[
*** No, it's still a nasty case of Eye Scream if you ''do'' get the needle in the right place. You just don't die.
*** The second one is made worse by the fact that ''you're in control of it the whole time.''
Line 28:
* In the first two ''[[Fallout]]'' games, aiming for the eyes is not only possible but one of the most effective ways to dispatch enemies.
* ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' Nergal, not torn out, GOOGELY EYED TWITCHEYNESS!
* In ''[[Fatal Frame]]'', one of the items you can find is a mask with large spikes in the eyes. It's revealed that girls are blinded with this device for a horrific [[Sealed Evil in
** The sequels also have cases of Eye Scream, especially the Needle Women in ''FF 3'' who sewed their own eyes shut.
* In a flashback in [[Final Fantasy X]] we see how Auron gets blasted into the face/left eye by {{spoiler|Yunalesca}} when trying to {{spoiler|avenge Jecht´s and Braska´s deaths}} Well, at least he got his <s> Eyepatch</s> [[Cool Shades|Sunglasses]] [[Eyepatch of Power|of Power]] after that
Line 40:
* In [[Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe]] one of The Joker's close combat moves is to poke his opponents in the eyes.
* In ''[[No More Heroes]]'', Travis Touchdown {{spoiler|blinds Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarskii by throwing his beam katana at him, cutting out both of his eyes.}}
** Wich leads to the Strangely funny line "It's Dark! Somebody turn on the lights! I Can't See Shit!" Right now, it won't sound funny. But with his Accent, is a whole different story.
* Very rarely in the sequel, the Tsubaki Mk III, whoops I mean Carmelia Mk III, will slice an enemies head in half, right about eye level. Least of their worries, but still...
* In ''[[
** Three times. If you take the right dialogue options with Ravel Puzzlewell, she'll stab you in the eye with a claw and hook it out, then stuff a black-barbed seed in the eyeball and pump it full of magic before giving it back to you. This is one of the many statistic boosting choices in the game.
*** '''Planescape Torment''': The game where having your eyes poked out gives you stat bonuses.
** One time used for humor. One of the sensory stones contains the mind-numbing tedium experienced by a student in what was apparently the most boring lecture of all time. At one point, the student considered jamming his quill into his eye for a change of pace (though if he had actually done it it would have been a completely different sensory experience in the stone).
* Briefly played with in ''[[

'''Raz:''' You can't -- ''that'' is the purpose of the goggles! }}
* In ''[[Silent Hill]] 3'', the hint for the Hard Mode hospital keypad puzzle ([[Guide Dang It]]!), is a poem about poking out someone's eye, drinking the blood from the crushed eye, and biting off their tongue and left ear.
Line 53:
* [[Wax Works]]: many of the <s> more gruesome</s> [[Gorn|standard]] deaths involve this.
* In ''[[Thief]]: the Dark Project'' Garrett's eye is ''torn right out of his head''. The empty socket is even shown later on, albeit briefly.
* No-Face in ''[[Twisted Metal]]: Black'' got badly beaten in a boxing match. When he went to a back-alley surgeon to get his face put back together, he chose badly; the surgeon had lost $20,000 betting on him, and took out the man's eyes and tongue as revenge while he was out. We get to see his eyes falling onto a tray. Thankfully, in his ending, No-Face gets his revenge - punching the doctor in the face with a needle-loaded boxing glove.
** The trope name describes what Needles Kane does in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFtQJieYgLY this webisode] ''[[Exactly What It Says
*** Also, Calypso in his more recent appearances has a missing eye, prominently showing off the gaping hole where it used to be.
* ''[[The
** [[Event Horizon|Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see...]]
** Also, there's a console which the player must use to gain access to a room. It requires a color code that's acquired after a certain event, and if the player tries to use the code before they are supposed to, {{spoiler|the aforementioned head appears, scowling and covering the screen, with the words 'not yet' carved into its empty eye sockets.}}
* In the cinematic for "The Gods of Zul'Aman" that came with Patch 2.3 of ''[[
** WoWWiki [http://www.wowwiki.com/Zul%27jin offers some explanations].
** Also, the icon for one of the Rogue abilities, Cheap Shot, is a knife about to plunge into an eyeball, implying that what is "cheap" is that you're stabbing them in the eyeball.
* In ''[[Yggdra Union]],'' when Milanor is rescuing Yggdra from the prison in which she's held captive by Gulcasa, Valkyrie Aegina cuts his escape. Elena, former assassin of the Bronquian Empire, sneaks behind her troops and fires her crossbow... Hitting Aegina in the eye. Later on, when you meet Aegina again, she's wearing a bandage on her left eye.
** In the backstory, this happened ''three separate times'' to poor Nessiah. First, {{spoiler|his real body was blinded by the gods as part of his punishment for disobeying them and not fighting in Ragnarok}}. Second, his contract with the Yumel required him to sacrifice an eye to get their help in mastering his magic. And finally, he tore his remaining eye out {{spoiler|in order to complete the Gran Centurio}}. (Yes, he ''was'' that desperate at the time. And insane.)
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Grim Fandango]]'' you have to use your scythe against the eye of an octopus, granted, it was protected by a crystal, but the fact that it breaks and shows blood afterwards...
* In ''[[Chzo Mythos|7 Days A Skeptic]]'', {{spoiler|Dr. William Taylor has been forced to construct a body for a ghost out of the murdered crew. The ghost possesses the body, but it needs eyes ([[Fridge Brilliance|the only intact head Taylor got needed glasses]]), so it takes a pair. [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|From Dr. Taylor.]]}}
* In ''[[Fate/stay
* One of the artifacts you're supposed to collect in ''[[
* In the ''Nightfall'' campaign for [[Guild Wars]], the mad god of secrets Abbadon and his servants have a thing for eyes. His favorite minion begins growing extra eyes on her forehead in imitation of her master, and her favorite threat/curse is "Abbadon will eat your eyes."
* In ''[[Okami]]'', the locks on doors in dungeon take the from of a demonic-looking face, with a large singular eye and the pupil shaped liked a keyhole. It doesn't react/end well, when Amaterasu brings a key along.
* ''[[Call of Duty|Modern Warfare 2]]'' ends with Soap throwing a combat knife into the [[Big Bad]]'s eye. {{spoiler|1=The true [[Big Bad]] of MW2, LTGEN. Shepherd, has left Soap on the ground with a knife almost-hilt-deep in his chest, while Shepherd goes to [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|beat Capt. Price into the dirt]]. Soap manages to [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|pull the knife]] [[Determinator|out of his own chest]] and throw it with such precision that it impales Shepherd in the skull right through his left eye.}} Easily one of the most badass moments in the <s>Call Of Duty franchise</s> history of everything!
** In ''World At War'', at the very beginning of the game, a Japanese officer puts out his cigarette in a captured Marine's eye after he refuses to break under [[Cold-Blooded Torture|interrogation]].
* Freeware fighting game [[
* ''[[In the Hunt]]'' featured a giant living statue as a [[Puzzle Boss]]. Your submarine had to make [[Fridge Logic|floating blocks of stone]] drop on its head. Once damaged enough, the stone covering the statue's face is destroyed, showing the flesh and bones underneath, and its eyeballs dangle out of their sockets. It doesn't help that he gains an attack where it spits out four homing eyeballs.
* At the beginning of ''[[Overlord II]],'' shortly after the frozen [[Creepy Child|Overlad]] arrives in the Netherworld, [[Butt Monkey|Quaver]] gets his eye stuck to the ice. And when Gnarl orders that the ice be thawed by fire, Quaver pulls away fast enough to leave the eyeball behind. ''Ouch.''
Line 80:
** There is also an unique Assassination move done by the Footpad (from the ''Brotherhood'' multiplayer) where said Footpad slashes the target in the eyes with his weapon before stabbing the target in the throat. The move's nickname? "Blinded and Helpless". Quaint.
* ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' unsurprisingly has a good one. Go ahead and lose the RTS battle with Doviculus (if you dare!) The resulting losing animation quickly switches to Eddie's point of view just as the emperor tells you he is going to make a necklace with your eyes then thrusts his fingers into the screen as it turns to black.
* Done in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' of all places, where {{spoiler|Braig}}'s fight with Terra ends with Terra firing a blast of dark energy right into his eye. {{spoiler|Well, now we know where he got that eyepatch.}}
* Some of the bosses in the [[Kirby]] games have very large and prominent eyes, and some are [[Faceless Eye|little more than just eyes]], so attacking these bosses invokes this, especially if you [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T5xQWCn9Y4 do it with] [[BFS|the Master Sword]]. And then, there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VItRIOqako Zero]. Also worth noting is that recurring enemy [[Faceless Eye|Waddle Doo]] [[Dummied Out]] "appearance" in ''Kirby's Block Ball'' has its eye blown off in its death animation.
* In [[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]], after the world goes kalooey, you wake up, getting a first person view of a kid holding a bug... then he drops the bug, right into your character's eye (and with the first person view, it's like it went into your own eye).
* [[
** [[Mass Effect 2|Go for the optics, Chikktika, go for the optics!]]
*** Ironically enough, "Chikktika" is a combat drone, and those are shaped roughly like eyes.
* Also, in the ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] ''Overlord'', when you finally get to the cause of all trouble, {{spoiler|David Archer}}, we find him suspended in some kind of harness with probes sticking out of, among other things, his eyes and holding them open. Think [http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/David_Archer this picture], only with more focus, lingering, and different angles in the course of the ending cinematic.
** According to Mordin, a [[Extra Eyes|batarian]] religion considers this act deeply insulting. Since they believe souls exit through the eyes when the body dies, removing or destroying the eyes is a terrible act of desecration.
*** Which gives some extra chilling factor to Renegade Shepard's payback on a racist batarian bartender who tries to kill him or her with a poisoned
* In the ''[[God of War (
** Kratos tears up Typhon's eye in ''II''.
* At the end of the third episode of ''[[Duke Nukem|Duke Nukem 3D]]'', Duke kicks the eye right out of the Cycloid Emperor's head.
* In [[Shinobido]], Zaji the Blackhawk has only one eye left and wears an eyepatch. {{spoiler|Gamuran took out his other eye during the attack on the Asuka village by throwing a sharp wooden piece at it.}}
* In ''[[
* The Hunter of ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' has a character design that suggests ''some'' kind of eye damage; his eyes are thickly crusted with blood. The character model has no eyes at all, but it's possible that they just aren't rendered because his [[In the Hood|hood]] would obscure them from any in-game camera angle. In Versus mode, you can see fine while playing as him, but this could just be [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|for the player's convenience]].
* The Disco Bandit in [[Kingdom of Loathing]] has an attack called Disco Eye-Poke.
* A frequent source of [[Dead Baby Comedy|squicky laughs]] in the ''[[Sam and Max]]'' games.
** An [[Establishing Character Moment]] in ''[[Sam and Max Hit The Road]]''':
{{quote|
'''Max''': You should dig it out with a fork. It always works for me. }}
** In ''Ice Station Santa'':
{{quote|
'''Sam''': Don't play with it, you know how hard it is to get back into the socket. }}
** In the animated series, the [[Tuxedo and Martini|James Bond episode]] involves Max keeping a microchip in his eye socket, which, when retrieving, he digs around for [[Overly Long Gag|a disturbingly long time]], accompanied with squelching.
* In ''[[Snatcher]]'', the iconic [[Gross Up Close-Up]] of the rotting corpse involves its yellowed, shrivelled eye dropping out of the socket.
* A major plot point in ''[[Amea]]''. {{spoiler|As part of their attempts to escape life's hardships and begin a new, false life, The Master Eye's cult have all ritualistically removed their eyes and replaced them with artificial ones (likely of the Master Eye's own design) that wipes their memories beyond the bare essentials, thus letting them begin a new "life" as the Master Eye's slave. When Amea, who had initially joined the cult due to [[Parental Abandonment]], learns this, she decides that she's not going to run away anymore and face whatever life throws at her, and shows this by ''ripping out her fake eyes''.}}
* Several characters in ''[[
* Penguin in [[Batman: Arkham City]] has been shown with [http://www.gamekyo.com/Webmasters/Images/8229620110829_110004_1_big.jpg the bottom of a glass bottle over his eye] in place of a monocle, which according to previews was stabbed there and is too dangerous to remove. Being the "sophisticated" man he is, though, he's grown rather [[Just for Pun|attached]] to it.
* Pops up a few times in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'', usually with throwing knives. The best one is the conclusion of the {{spoiler|Orsino!Harvester}} battle. Hawke leaps onto the beast and ''stabs it in the eye again and again''. {{spoiler|Then Hawke ''rips out its head'' and ''stomps it to death''.}}
** Zevran gets a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when an Antivan Crow runs at him from behind, sword raised. Barely turning, he flicks [[Ascended Meme|Murder Knife]] at the man, who slows to a stop and keels over, revealing the hilt protruding from his left eye.
* One of the dead girls in ''[[Kara no Shoujo]]'' had her eyes cut in order to have it with tears of blood in order to mimic something from the [[Divine Comedy]].
* In [[
* [[Team Fortress 2
* One of the endings of [[Alpha Protocol]] has {{spoiler|Mike shooting Leland at [[No Range Like Point-Blank Range|point-blank range]] through his eye}}. And it's definitely not one of the game's normal [[Pretty Little Headshots]].
* [[Terraria]] has quite a bit of this with [[Faceless Eye
* In ''Blood Omen: [[Legacy of Kain]]'', Nupraptor sews his own eyes and mouth shut during his descent into madness.
* In ''[[Oddworld|Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus]]'', the Mudokon slaves being used to mine the bones of their ancestors for SoulStorm Brewery are blind - because they've had their ''eyelids stitched shut''.
* Norman Jayden of [[Heavy Rain]] will start [[Tears of Blood|bleeding from the eyes]] if he uses the ARI for too long at a particular point in the game. If the player persists in using the ARI, {{spoiler|he'll eventually start [[Deadly Nosebleed|start bleeding from the nose as well]], which is a sign that his time is almost up.}}
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'', one of the finishing moves against dragons involves the [[Player Character|Dovahkiin]] jumping onto the dragon's head and stabbing it in the eye. Possibly [[Fridge Brilliance]] since the eyes are sometimes a dragon's [[Achilles' Heel]] in literature.
** Also, [http://steamcommunity.com/id/StarSword_C/screenshot/452848015066502352 this accidental arrow headshot.]
* In ''[[Amnesia:
{{quote|
* ''[[Skullgirls]]'' has a momentary, but haunting example in Peacock's individual storyline. A short flashback from {{spoiler|Patricia}}'s perspective shows us {{spoiler|one of the slave traders who captured her, his thumbs reaching for her eyes. Then, they close in-- suddenly, the screen goes red as a sickening ''squelch'' is heard.}}
* ''[[The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings]]'' features {{spoiler|Phillippa}} getting {{spoiler|her}} eyes gouged out with a ''spoon''. [[Squick|You see the aftereffects]].
