8 Most Brutally Violent Video Game Moments Of 2017 (So Far)
1. Beating Badger To Death In The Walking Dead Season 3
While choices in Telltale games often manifest in instances of deciding who lives and who dies, they can similarly come in the form of deciding whether or not survivors have succumbed to the brutal nature of their zombie-infested world.
This latter instance of player freedom is best seen during the third episode of The Walking Dead's third season, where the game gives you the option of either leaving a raider, Badger, to succumb to his wounds after a fight or beating him to death with an aluminium baseball bat.
After the events of the game so far though you might think that Badger deserves an even harsher punishment, and the episode gives you the option to take your revenge on him by continuing to hit him while he's down, bashing and beating him until his head is nothing but a horrible mush of brains and viscera on the floor.
It's reminiscent of Negan's preferred method of execution in the comics and TV show - and the end results aren't any less gruesome.
