10 Video Game NPCs Whose Lives You RUINED

10. Other Survivors - Dead Rising

When you see fellow survivors of the zombie apocalypse in Dead Rising, logic dictates you would do almost anything to save them. Not just because you're a good person who wants to help out others in difficult situations, but also because it's practical to have helping hands against waves of the incoming undead masses.

However, this may not stay the case for long. Because the other survivors in Dead Rising sometimes won't use weapons they're given, sometimes run deep into a pile of zombies despite being on low health, and sometimes, for reasons unknown, will just stand stock still and wait for their own deaths.

It's annoying in every game, but the AI is - naturally - especially stupid in the first game, or otherwise genuinely coded to try and race to their own demise. As such, you can quickly go from playing as a hero who wants to save every individual life at all costs, to a jackass who actively puts other survivors in more and more dangerous scenarios because they just don't care to try and save them any more.

But again, you don't get a reward for shoving an innocent, well-meaning survivor into a pit of flesh-eating monsters, so it's still kind of wild that so many of us did.
