10 Cruelest Things We All Did In Famous Video Games
7. Murdering Scientists In GoldenEye
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PCGuQ09QH0The poor scientists of the N64 classic Goldeneye were just begging for a bullet to the nads. After all, they simply stood there with their hands up in the hope that the player would leave them alone, often getting in the way if intense gun battles. Who could ever resist the opportunity to mess with them?
These presumably innocent souls could be found in a number of levels throughout the game and they always offered plenty of opportunity to get creative about failing your mission.
From simply taking advantage of the fact that you could get different reactions from shooting different body parts to creating a complex series of remote triggered mines that could be used to blow them through the windows of a laboratory, there were simply so many ways to give them abuse.
Even when they had enough and started to fight back you could still manipulate them into causing more damage to themselves, especially if one had a grenade and tried to throw it at you while you were in cover.
Abusing them probably accounts for as many failed missions as actual deaths of the player in the game.
