9 Videogame Characters Who Were Punished Far Too Severely

1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas €“ CJ Buries A Foreman Alive For Wolf-Whistling

Carl Johnson is not the most stable man. He€™s got a bodycount larger than most dictators, knows his way around a tank, a harrier jump-jet, most weaponry and combines all of this with a thoroughly amoral outlook on life. So when you get on his or his family€™s bad side, expect Los Santos€™ resident bullet sponge to turn up on your doorstep, furious. Of course, the problem seems to be that CJ thinks violence is the answer to everything €“ there€™s no option to sit down and talk to your victims, or even to fire your gun into the air True Crime-style, so if you wish to make your point, you€™re going to need a trip to Ammu-nation and/or a baseball bat, even in the most ridiculous circumstances. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the San Fierro construction yard mission, where CJ€™s sister Kendra takes umbrage with some builders from the yard behind their property wolf-whistling her. Now, I am not a woman (at least not since the operation) so I can€™t really tell you how demeaning having a pack of builders yell obscene things at you is, but I'm sure it's not a good thing. Kendra€™s right to get her brother involved to stop them doing it, yet what CJ does is just insane €“ he goes to a bulldozer, bundles a Foreman-housing portaloo into a hole and pours concrete on it, burying the poor chap alive. Strangely, Kendra seems happy with this act of pitch-perfect insanity, meaning they take sexual harassment damn seriously in San Andreas €“ except with the prostitutes of course, apparently they don€™t seem to count. Agree or disagree? Can you think of any more? Fee free to comment!
