History DeathGlare / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'', fighting Miis will often give each other these if they momentarily stop throwing things in either apartment. The camera will show their staredown in close-ups during the cutscene of a third Mii intervening, complete with a dramatic {{Sting}} to match.

--->'''Krogan''': I was just trying to have a drink here! No need to get all excited!

--->'''Wrex''': I like my salarian livers served raw. Hehe...\\
'''Salarian STG soldier''': (silently shoots Wrex an ugly look)

** With the introduction of third person cutscenes,''VideoGame/DoomEternal'' makes it clear that the Doom Slayer has a truly epic Death Glare, which appears to be his default expression on missions, judging from the terrified reactions of the UAC personnel on the Phobos base.

* In the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'', Cloud ([[spoiler:[[DisguisedInDrag Disguised]] [[DraggedIntoDrag and Dragged Into Drag]]]]) gives one to Don Corneo right before [[spoiler:being dragged off to Don's private room as his newest chosen bride]]; not that this terrifying glare does anything to stop the Don. Knowing how quickly Cloud resorts to violence, it's no surprise when he makes good on his silent threat a few minutes later.

* ''Videogame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': Ashe's angry portrait has this effect, due to the lack of definition on his pupils and a heavier use of shadows compared to other characters. Gilbert, pre-timeskip Hubert, and post-timeskip Sylvain also have this as their angry portrait. The most notable example, though, is the one [[spoiler:Rhea]] gives should [[spoiler:Byleth side with Edelgard on the Black Eagles route]], which borders on being a NightmareFace.

* This is Bass' default look towards us in ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Rockman.EXE 4.5]]'' (and the series in general, actually). [[RedEyesTakeWarning Glowing Red]] [[GlowingEyesOfDoom Eyes of Doom]] included!

* In the ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' games from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' onward, whenever a Persona-user is about to get a critical hit or strike at an elemental weakness of their enemies, it activates a SuperMovePortraitAttack focusing on the Persona-user's eyes striking an angry expression. ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' takes it even further, with the character's 3d model sporting a spooky FaceFramedInShadow along with the standard angry eye cut in (and the portraits themselves often supporting sinister {{Slasher Smile}}s as opposed to the more determined looks from ''3'' and ''4''.)

* Lampshaded in ''VideoGame/{ThePunisherTHQ''.

*** Link pulls off an epic one whenever [[spoiler:Demise]] is on-screen. [[spoiler:Demise is actually intrigued by this: Link is the first human he's ever seen who looks at him with anger and hatred, rather than fear and terror.]]
*** He outdoes even this when Giraham talks about sacrificing Zelda.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon X and Y}}'', a lot of Pokemon will give you one of these in Pokemon Amie if you start petting them on a spot they're not fond of.

* Lampshaded in the [=PS2=] ''[[VideoGame/{{The Punisher|THQ}} Punisher]]'' video game.

* Kazuma Kiryu of the ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series is a PerpetualFrowner by default, but he really gets into the Death Glares in ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza 6}}'', especially when staring down [[spoiler: Yuta, the man who got Kiryu's adopted daughter Haruka pregnant and then spent most of the game lying about it]].

* Ashley from ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' gives one to players that fail her microgames in Gold.

** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Tali'Zorah is a Quarian, whose race was almost annihilated when they accidentially created a race of sentient robots, with the few survivors having been forced to live in space on ancient dreadnoughts for several hundred years. When she is recruited to the Normandy [=SR2=], she makes it very clear that she think it's a crazy idea to work with the human-supremacist group Cerberus and they can't be trusted a single bit, despite Jacob's best attempts to assure her that this group didn't have anything to do with the crimes and devastating experiments other chapters have commited. When she is about to leave the room, Jacob tells her to introduce herself to the ship's sentient AI, causing her to freeze in her tracks. She doesn't say anything and just stares back over her shoulder for a few very long seconds; if looks could kill, Jacob would have been vaporized along with the entire aft bulkhead.[[note]]As mentioned above, Quarians are infamous for the fact that they were exiled from their home planet after losing millions to a race of sentient AI; To Tali, Jacob's suggestion was the equivalent of suggesting someone of Jewish lineage go strike up a conversation with a member of the Aryan Brotherhood.[[/note]] The fact that she manages to do this through a near completely opaque/reflective helmet makes it all the more frightening.

** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', Wrex [[http://orig02.deviantart.net/b84a/f/2012/082/9/8/urdnot_wrex_by_gelvuun-d4tnn27.jpg delivers one of these]] to the Salarian Dalatrass after she insults the Krogan one too many times.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'', [[spoiler:the final fight with [[{{Satan}} the Devil]] begins with a one-eyed glare so thorough, his pupil briefly transforms into {{an axe|ToGrind}} and a teacup and ''plays out'' [[OffWithHisHead what he will do to the sibling protagonists Cuphead and Mugman]]. It seems to work; this intro is the only one in the game where the boys [[OhCrap react by screaming in terror]] instead of getting hyped up for battle.]]
