Most humiliating ways to die in a video game

Tales of Graces.. really difficult boss fight. Enemy's down about 2/3 of the way. Everyone but you dies, and you're out of life bottles. No resurrection spells, no healing items left. Just you.

And you fight... and dodge... and somehow, through sheer luck, manage to actually win! Solo!

There's a scene, you're moving on, you head to the nearest save spot— run into a monster on the way, get cornered and die.

fml.

While playing Fallout 3, sneezing due to your pollen allergy and accidentally clicking the mouse as a result.

While holding a Fat Man. Pointed at the wall right next to you.

I'm surprised I couldn't hear the Behemoth going "ha ha!"

Any game in which you are water soluble.

When you're playing Torchlight, you might be tempted to play on Hardcore mode. You also might be tempted to play on Very Hard mode. As I'm sure you all know, Hardcore mode means death is death: no save points, no continues. If you die, your character file is erased forever.

So the last thing you want to do before fighting the final boss of the game is travel to one of the low level dungeons without realizing you're at 1% health from a previous battle, and get one shotted by a level 2 kobold.

LOL. I dont even know about that game but from what you said, that seems hilarious and maybe painfull as well!!!

Sorry for the year-old bump, but I just died in Super Amazing Wagon Adventure to llama spit.

Maybe not dying, but in Dissidia Final Fantasy: getting Bravery Broken by Gilgamesh's Excalipoor.

Each hit from Excalipoor does 1 point of Bravery Damage.

Bravery pools end to be somewhere around 1000, at defaul.

Walking into a bottomless pit because you weren't paying attention in pretty much any platformer.

Then respawning, rushing through the last 5 screens, and falling into the pit in the exact same way.

Imagine playing Jak 2. You run through the level, and then something knocks you away. You fall from a ledge. You die.

Repeat 50 times.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Achieve maximum grip strength. Press the drop button instead of the climb-back-up button. Have to replay the entirety of the Plant Mission until the Harrier fight because you were going for a no kill, no alert, minimal save run.

If you can somehow manage to get killed by a Beheaded Rocketeer in Serious Sam, then... actually, wait. No. No one can possibly be dumb enough to make that happen.

...but someone out there actually did, then they really have to consider getting a new hobby...

Also: getting killed by taunts in Team Fortress 2. It's quite fun if you manage to pull it off on another person.

In Disgaea Infinite, the bad ending you get if you're stupid enough to try possessing a geo symbol.

Looked through the thread and surprised I didn't see this one mentioned (and later this one). Of course there are plenty of traps in I Wanna Be The Guy where you have to only laugh if you fall for them.

Fighting against the Iron Golem in Dark Souls, and standing TOO close to the edge of the arena when the golem attacks. You fall down and die.

Happened to me as a white phantom.

Not so much dying, as it is failing, but from an outside, context less perspective, hearing that you got crushed trying to beat ABC by the Jackson Five is less than dignified.

I died in Dark Souls in tutorial as I was too slow to jump down the edge to jump attack the boss :P

Battlefield 3: Defibrillator.
Halo 4: Jumping into a bottomless pit. Getting a checkpoint moments before. Looping the death until the game decides to reload an earlier checkpoint.

Taken out by a Were Hare just before you get to the save spot. >_<

Getting injured in DayZ because drone-jamming zombies trapped you in a tool shed, then bleeding out ten minutes later.

Falling into a bottomless pit in Dark Souls. Especially after a hard boss fight, or during a boss fight.

Your donkey panics, runs deep into a cave and then turn back bringing a whole horde of the cave's denizens in Dungeon Siege 1.

Getting a headshot from any ranged weapon-wielding CPU enemy in Dark Souls. Especially skeleton and black knight archers.

Getting punched off the roof in Left 4 Dead (No Mercy campaign), right before the end.

Transformers: War for Cybertron: Kaon Prison level. driving under a ramp and falling to your death.
