Eye Scream/Video Games: Difference between revisions

Playing it may just be worse then seeing it. Here are examples of [[Eye Scream]] from video games.

----

* In ''[[Call of Duty|Call of Duty: Black Ops]]'' during the Baikonur level, after Weaver gets compromised and tied to a chair, Kravchenko stabs him in the eye. [[Fate Worse Than Death|He survives]]unlike {{spoiler|Shepherd at the end of [[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare|Modern Warfare]] 2.}}

* 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 ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' games there are enemies that can only be killed by hitting their eyes. Lots of them especially in (but not limited to) the 3D games.

** 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 ''[[Psychonauts]]''.

'''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.

* [[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.

** The trope name describes what Needles Kane does in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFtQJieYgLY this webisode] ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|quite well]]''.

*** Also, Calypso in his more recent appearances has a missing eye, prominently showing off the gaping hole where it used to be.

* 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 night]]'', inflicting one of these {{spoiler|on [[Enfant Terrible]] Illyasviel}} fully cements {{spoiler|Gilgamesh}}'s status as the [[Big Bad]] of the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' scenario. Particularly vicious, as he slashed her across the face with a ''sword'', but only so she would be blinded while he continued to torment her.

* 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.

** 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.

* 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.

* [[Baldur's Gate]]: Go for the eyes, Boo! GO FOR THE EYES!

** [[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.

** 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.

* In the ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' series, Kratos is capable of killing cyclopses by yanking out their eyeballs. But the most epic example of this is when he kills ''[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Poseidon]]'' in ''III'' by gouging his eyes before [[Neck Snap|breaking his neck]] and throwing him off a cliff. The fact that you see this from [[Shaky POV Cam|Poseidon's point of view]] makes this horror and a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

** 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.}}

* 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]]''':

'''Max''': You should dig it out with a fork. It always works for me. }}

** In ''Ice Station Santa'':

'''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.

** 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]].

* [[Team Fortress 2|Enter MONOCULUS!]]

* 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]].

* 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.}}

** Also, [http://steamcommunity.com/id/StarSword_C/screenshot/452848015066502352 this accidental arrow headshot.]

* In ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]'', there is a particularly disturbing text passage upon discovering {{spoiler|the Iron Maiden in the Choir.}}

* ''[[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]].
