Line 70:
** "Step one: [[Captain Obvious|stay alive. Step two: try not to think about doing something like that again!]]"
** "I'll say something really teary at the funeral, like '''How am I going to be changed back now?'''"
* Boss enemies in '''[[Iji]]''' do this:
{{quote|'''{{spoiler|Krotera}}:''' The strong prevail, Anomaly... Your race is history.
'''Asha:''' Hah! Easiest bounty yet.
Line 84:
** What makes this especially funny is the irreverent tone in which they make these comments, [[Death Is Cheap|as if they've seen it a million times before.]]
{{quote|'''Morte''': Ugh. ''Another'' trip to the mortuary?}}
* ''[[Wizardry]] 8'' features a whopping 36 available voice sets to assign to your characters. Each set has their own informal eulogies for the death of a male, female, or special recruitable party member.
* ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' has a ton of these:
{{quote|'''Xan:''' (spoken in a flat monotone, when a party member dies) [[The Eeyore|Another death in our pointless crusade.]]}}
Line 99:
** Ditto for ''[[Persona 4]]'' on both counts.
* In ''[[Fallout 3]]'', often when you brutally murder another pacifist human being you can hear their friends nearby shout "YOU KILLED HER!" Even if the recently-dead person is male
* If you lose the boss fight against {{spoiler|Baralai}} in ''[[
* Every boss that talks in ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' will drop a one-liner if they kill you, which takes precedence over your usual death screams. For example: "Another ''thrilling'' entreé!", "Do the math.", "Hey Uzuki! How 'bout that ramen?", "{{spoiler|[[Final Boss|Now Shibuya... will be saved.]]}}", and "{{spoiler|[[Bonus Boss|Open up your world!]]}}"
== [[Shoot'Em Up]] ==
* Your teammates screaming [[Big No|"Noooooo!"]] when you die in ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star
** If you're alone and fighting [[Big Bad|Andross]], you'll just hear Fox scream instead. I believe you will also hear [[Nightmare Fuel|Andross laugh.]]
* Classic examples from [[The Golden Age of Video Games]]:
Line 111:
== [[Simulation Game]] ==
* Both ''[[Free Space|Descent: Freespace]]'' and ''Freespace 2'' had were recordings of wingmen reporting over the radio that the squad leader (the player) had just gone down. Radio gets cut off when the ship goes down, so you never get to hear them and the lines were unused.
* In the ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]]'' games, your commanding officer will have a special eulogy on your behalf when you kick the bucket. Your wingmen get these, too, if they die in combat.
* ''[[Dark Star One]]'' gives one of these every time you're killed, and also lets each enemy get off a final line if you kill them. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're mildly sad, mostly they're just pointless.
== [[Stealth Based Game]] ==
Line 121:
** And let's not forget
{{quote|'''Campbell''': Snake! What have you done?! You've changed the future! You've created a Time Paradox!}}
** ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' also has the "SNAAAAKE" yells if you die while the Codec is playing a message. The [[Star Fox (series)|Slippy]] one is particularly funny.
== [[Survival Horror]] ==
Line 156:
== [[Web Original]] ==
* During Sarge's funeral in [[Red vs. Blue]], Grif delivers a roast instead of a eulogy, and [[The Starscream|Simmons]] eulogy is actually a campaign speech for Sarge's old job.
{{quote|'''Grif:''' Is he campaigning for your job at your own funeral? ''Classy.''}}
** It should also be noted that Sarge is actually there, [[Attending Your Own Funeral|attending his own funeral]] ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]).
