10 Times Video Games Were TOO Realistic
4. Gruesome Deaths - The Last Of Us 2
The story of The Last of Us, Part II, is a grueling and depressing experience. Ellie's transformation into a rage-filled instrument of her own vengeance is one of the saddest and most heartbreaking things in recent gaming history.
And yet, if the storyline wasn't enough to make you feel dead on the inside, the developers thought they'd take all the fun out of killing your enemies as well!
Unlike most other games, where taking down NPCs is as quick and fun as pressing a button and watching a delightfully bloody death animation, The Last of Us offers a different kind of spectacle.
Each enemy dies as realistically as possible, which means that before dying, they do things like beg for their life, break into tears, scream about their relatives, and all the other fun parts of murder that games conveniently leave out for your pleasure.
Every time you kill someone, the game has to remind you how much of a monster you are, meaning that any attempt at going on a mindless killing spree will have you questioning your life choices within minutes.
Come on, game! If you're going to force us to make Ellie commit all these atrocities, at least let us have some fun with it!
