Cruelest thing you had done in a game?

I remember my little cousin doing stuff like that, except instead of a kitten he used a baby instead.

Me? I'm also a sick man who sends babies to fight in Scribblenauts. Granted, they're invincible fire-breathing fearless zombie babies.

...eheh

Yes, I have attached a steak to a baby to attract lions, just because it sounded ridiculous.

If I count downloadable and web games, the only other incredibly mean things I've done are brutally murdering Timmy in Happy Wheels and intentionally triggering the bad end in Dreamtalia (which ended up killing Italy, Canada, and Austria).

I don’t even know anymore.

I gave everyone on the planet leprosy, cancer, and diarrhea. At the same time.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Pandemic is cheating. The entire point is to be an omnicidal Joker.

I killed everyone I wa suppose to protect in Body Harvest, which is a HELL NO!

WHAT SICK MEN SENT BABIES TO FIGHT ME

And then there was silence

Yeah, I consider Pandemic, Infection, and Plague Inc. cheating as well.

It's always funny learning that "stupidity" has killed more people than Black Death.

I don’t even know anymore.

Are those last two browser games? They sound fun.

Morrowind Romance Mod: I played around with a hooker while I already had a romantic partner, and when my partner broke up with me, I taunted her into attacking me with her fists and killed her. Suffer from a broken heart and now a broken skull.

Oh I remember now! When I played the Sims 2 for PC, I'd deliberately build homes with tons of pyrotechnics inside the building and plenty of flammable decorations and move people into them.

Living The Fever Dream

Also, back in my Elona days, I would slaughter Beggars for quick early cash.

And then there was silence

@journeyman: Plague Inc. and Infection? Plague Inc. is on Steam and the App Store, and IDK about Infection, but it and Infection 2 are in the App Store. I doubt they're browser-based, but they're major improvements over Pandemic, IMO.

I don’t even know anymore.

Plague Inc. Evolved is on Steam for 15 bucks and seems to have some link to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, though the store page says nothing about how. All in all it seems a worthwhile buy for early access.

ETA: Just bought it and installing now. Even the CDC likes this one, and the link to Dawn is that the Simian Flu is in the game as a possibility. Sweet!

I guess that Infectonator! series is also considered cheating as well... the goal is to turn the whole world into zombies.

...eheh

Normally I play the good path in games, given a choice. My fem!Shep is Paragon, my Cole was Good, my John Marston was heroic, and I saved all the Little Sisters. But sometimes...

Original Mass Effect: Gunned down the entire colony possessed by the Thorian. Personally. (Renegade male!Shep knows no mercy.)

Red Dead Redemption: Killed an old man to take a land deed from him because I couldn't be bothered to wait until I had the money or a lasso.

Assassin's Creed II: Stabbed a pair of minstrels in the face simultaneously.

I haven't known true fear in a very, very long time.

I usually play Paragon, what was that one, again?

Oh God! Natural light!

Shep tells Jack to murder Aresh, Jack questions if killing him will help fix her problems, Shep replies "You're a killer Jack. Its what you do." Jack executes him, says it felt good, and Shep, if the renegade reply is chosen, tells her that "A bullet in the head solves everything." (The other choice is simply "Let's leave).

Reading about it/watching it on Youtube doesn't do it justice, you have to play the mission for the full impact.

I think you misread the thread title.

Warframe:

I was going on a farming run with some friends on a relatively normal mission. What neither of them told me was that they were both marked for death by the Stalker. So, as their luck would have it, he shows up just as we entered a room with some glass windows (which can be shot out to decompress the room and seal it off from the rest of the level until someone restabilizes the atmosphere). So, naturally, I do what any good teammate would do:

I moved into the next room and shot out the glass, trapping them inside with the Stalker. The one who was marked died instantly, and the other was suffocated and shot to death by the enemies still in the room.

I was the only survivor, and escaped with what we were farming for.

He's so Badass that he writes romance novels. No,seriously.

Now that was brilliant! Evil, sadistic, and cowardly, but brilliant.

Evil Genius is already a game about being a cruel bastard/bitch, but even by the game's standards I did something awful for no actual reason. Since it's a relatively obscure game I'll try to explain the details.

An early-game objective requires you to gather up six fellow Crime Lords for a meeting. As NPC's on your island, they're statistically immortal for gameplay reasons, though you can still have your minions beat them into temporary unconsciousness, not that that achieves anything (They don't even fight back). Anyway, after you gather all six and the meeting finishes, they automatically get up and leave your base and island. I had my minions clobber the mafia don as he tried to leave, locked him in a holding cell, and kept him trapped there for the next few objectives of the game, occasionally taking him out just to run him through a torture device and then throw him back in.

Eventually, it comes time to abandon your existing evil lair and move to a new island. I relocated him to a cell fit into a 2x2 room, then deleted the entryway and every other room in my base (Replacing it all with solid rock, since your lair is set into a mountain) on the way out to go to my new island, leaving him trapped in a tiny cell in the center of a mountain, surrounded by solid rock on all sides, on a desert isle, for the rest of his apparently-immortal life.

I mean, I often torture the random tourists that show up on the island, either "interrogating them for the information they know" or just setting the locks on the hotel doors to be out of their purview once they're already inside and watching them panic, but at least they eventually die from torture or starvation respectively.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Pfft, not cruel enough. You needed to set up the base to capture all six crime lords and lock them all up. Only then will you be the Sith Lord to rule all Sith Lords!

One of them doesn't give you the respect you deserve, so you test your newest device on him, so that makes five you could torture.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

I killed my partner in SMB Wii.

@The Airman: The game itself considers it cruel, so I listed it here. Just because we all like doing it when we can get away with it doesn't change that.

I haven't known true fear in a very, very long time.

I hope everyone else thinks it's funny to drop the baby penguin off the cliff after showing it to the mother in Super Mario 64.

Playing Dark Side in KOTOR probably comes closest. I also ransomed a woman for a pair of pantaloons.

Then there's a time where I kept sending a man to be fed to a tentacle monster because his face was glitched out...
