Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] games include:
* The first ''[[Medal of Honor]]'' as well as its sequel, Medal of Honor: Underground, gives you the ability to hit certain body parts on enemies. This results in hilarious animations.
** Examples include shooting an enemy in the balls while standing close to a thrown grenade, or, when they pick up a thrown grenade, you can shoot them in the arm, which results in them holding on to the grenade and having it explode in their face.
** Better yet, ''[[Soldier of Fortune]]'''s "gore zone" system allows you to bloodily destroy individual body parts, and relish the horrific death animations.
* ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' and its sequel ''BioShock 2'' firstly allow you to dispense with enemies with varying degrees of sadism. The greatest cruelty potential, however, is in how you deal with the Little Sisters.
** Even choosing to ''save'' one of them is very unsettling, as it causes her to struggle and scream "NO, NO, NO!" as if she ''thinks'' you're going to harvest her. ([[Nightmare Fuel| Have they witnessed it happen to other Little Sisters?]]. It's actually very likely, given the number of thugs who you witness trying to.) Until, that is you finish the process [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming| and she meekly says "thank you"]] before running off.
** In ''Bioshock 2'', you can also shoot the unarmed nice old nanny on the face, or put a drill through her head. She's only taunting you a little bit, and doesn't try to fight at all.
** Then there's Cindy, one of the little Sisters you can encounter with her biological father (who is now a Big Daddy) Meltzer. While there are exploits to avoid killing him, canonically, you do have to kill him. Cindy, being a little sister, is still subjected to the "immediate material gain" method above. Reading into the back story of her, you
** Sadly, even if you devote all your effort to saving and protecting the Little Sisters, there is no way to avoid killing the Big Sisters, {{spoiler| who are what Little Sisters become when they grow into adulthood. You can try to convince yourself that it's [[Mercy Killing]], but this revelation is likely going to make you feel almost as bad.}}
* ''[[Call of Duty]]''
** ''[[Call of Duty]]: [[Modern Warfare]] 2'' has the infamous "No Russian" level in which {{spoiler|you gun down unarmed civilians in an airport. You can CHOOSE how many people you kill; the game doesn't care either way. The game allows you to skip the level, and there's no completion penalty if you do.}}
Line 62 ⟶ 67:
* In ''Yoshi'sSafari'', it's possible to shoot Yoshi in the back of the head with your Super Scope.
* ''[[The Chronicles of Riddick (franchise)|The Chronicles of Riddick]]: [[Escape From Butcher Bay]]'' allows you to kill many of the inmates you encounter. You can systematically empty the entire Single Max prison wing one person at a time, and your only punishment will be a temporary incapacitation each time. You can even contrive circumstances to kill a fair number of inmates in Double Max (such as disabling the lights in the diner and then making your way back there to go on a killing spree in the dark), which normally makes this extraordinarily difficult due to being chock-full of wall-mounted gun turrets and almost every area being highly visible.
** In ''[[Assault
* ''[[Judge Dredd]]'': ''Dredd Vs Death'', setting the lawgiver to incendiary while fighting street criminals results in them being burnt to the bone even from leg and arm shots. [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment|This will get the SJS set upon you fairly quickly]].
* The reboot of ''[[Syndicate]]'' tries to discourage this by not giving you [[Limit Break]] energy for killing civilians, but it's no actual hindrance.
* ''Wolfenstein'' from 2009 allows the player to be exceedingly cruel to anyone on the opposite end of the barrel. Options include simply shooting them to exploding limbs with high caliber weapons, burning, blowing up, stabbing them in the throat with bayonets or vaporizing with one of the [[Nazi Super Science|rayguns]]. All of it's excused by them being Nazis (and by the looks of it the worst psychopaths from all branches of the Heer and SS).
