* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'', [[spoiler:Jaheira's immediate response to finding Khalid's mutilated corpse]] is to instantly rebuff all and any attempts at consoling her, stating clearly that "the only voice I want to hear... [[KilledOffForReal Is no more]]."
* In ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'', Flonne takes pity on Mid-Boss as he has no one to make his lunch for him, but he asks her to stop as "That sends a sharp pain to moi heart!"
* In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', The Warrior of Light's response to Garland's speech about being "[[GroundhogDayLoop trapped]]" by destiny is to pity Garland, explaining that being stuck in the cycle has driven the man to despair. Unfortunately, (as one might expect) Garland doesn't take this very well, and he yells a bit during his fight with the Warrior.
* During Fenris's companion quest in Act 2 of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', he gets news from one of his former tormentors about [[spoiler: having a sister living in Tevinter, and is torn between hope and suspicion of a trap being laid by Danarius]]. Any attempt at sympathy from Hawke gets angrily rebuffed, and he storms off. (He apologizes for it later, though.)
** If Merrill tries to console Anders over [[spoiler: Ella]], he comes back with "''You're'' sorry? For ''me''? This could be you! [[spoiler: [[BloodMagic You could be the next monster threatening helpless girls!]]]]"
* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Kusanagi has this '''phrase''' as his KO quote.
* During a flashback in "The Champions' Ballad" DLC for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Revali]] is shown to be out of breath after another failed attempt to perfect Revali's Gale while verbally expressing his desperation to get it right. Upon seeing that Princess Zelda has been watching and listening to the whole thing, he quickly and pompously chastises her for eavesdropping.
* Kaguya from ''VideoGame/MarySkelterNightmares'' is reclusive and somewhat bitter, and eventually reveals that she is this way because she knows how she and her fellow Blood Maidens are born. After the emotional reveal, the team becomes more receptive to her [[TheSlacker slacker]] tendencies, which she is not happy about. Jack's attempt to smooth things over makes her more upset, and she only comes around when she is later told that [[WeWantOurJerkBack her newfound willingness to work for herself is worrying everyone]].
* Samara from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', after telling Shepard that Morinth, the fugitive serial killer she's been hunting for several hundred years, is [[spoiler:her daughter]]. "I do not want your pity, Shepard. I do not accept it."
** Jacob isn't quite as blunt, but he's not interested in Shepard trying to play amateur shrink (even after the events of his loyalty mission). His romance path is one of the few that lets Shepard do the venting instead, and you can convince him to break off the relationship if you keep prodding him.
** It's also possible to play [[IronWoobie Shepard]] this way.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'': Though less extremely offended than most other examples, Fairy Leviathan in the first game specifically warns Zero '''before''' the fight not to hold anything back on her for being a woman. After Zero wins, he '''disregards''' her orders and does not terminate her, which she finds doubly rude [[spoiler:the first time around. But Leviathan seems to mellow, making no more stink about it from then forward -- simply glad she met someone that could defeat her]].
* In ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2: Mask of The Betrayer'' Gann approves of the player saying "good riddance" to his parents (who abandoned him [[spoiler:unwillingly]] and disapproves of pity for his situation).
* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
** ''VideoGame/Persona3'': Ken Amada doesn't want any sympathy for being an orphan, [[spoiler: he's too busy plotting revenge and plans on committing suicide afterwards because all he gets is sympathy now.]] Played for the destructive as he realizes that while he feared being alone, he exactly did just that, even though there are TrueCompanions around to help him.
** Naoki in ''VideoGame/Persona4'' has both this complex and one about not mourning his own sister's death. In particular, he doesn't like getting special treatment, since it indicates that he doesn't need to be around, and he notices that a lot of the people who came by his family's liquor store didn't do so before his sister died.
** The Traitor in ''VideoGame/Persona5'' showed elements of this during their confrontation between them and the Phantom Thieves, who to some degree sympathize with the former and even offer to let them rejoin the Phantom Thieves as both of them share the same goals.
%%* [[spoiler: Skuntank]] to the player character in ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers of Darkness/Time''.
* When Ratchet in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction'' questions BigBad Emperor Tachyon as to how he could get himself to kill Lombaxes [[spoiler:when they were the ones who saved his egg and raised him]], Tachyon simply yells: "Those filthy creatures had the gall to ''pity me''!".
* In ''VideoGame/ShounenKinindenTsumuji'' After Tsumuji's rival Hayate loses another duel against him, he asks why he can't win, Tsumuji then reaches his hand out to him, only for Hayate to push it aside and gives him an angry look.
* In ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'', the mentally unstable and cynical Angela tells James not to pity her when he reaches out to her, claiming that she's "not worth it".
* Jet from ''VideoGame/SonicRiders'' accuses Sonic of doing this when he returns the Key to Babylon Garden after defeating him in a race and getting it back from Dr. Eggman. Jet may be a SoreLoser and a cocky winner, but being shown pity when he actually loses just seems to enrage him more than anything, and despite the Key supposedly leading to a trove of ancient technology worth millions ([[{{Greed}} and the very reason Jet signed on to Eggman's scheme in the first place]]), he's fully prepared to ''force'' Sonic to take it back before Wave shows up and yells at him to stop being stubborn so they can get to the treasure.
* This, along with "...leave me alone...", are the last words of the BigBad ([[spoiler:Parliamentarian Batiste]]) in ''VideoGame/TheSpiritEngine2''.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** The final boss of ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'''s response to a LastSecondChance:
--->[[spoiler:'''Kreia''']]: "You will not show me mercy! I will see you break before you do!"
** ''VideoGame/JediKnightIIJediOutcast'': Kyle Katarn offering mercy and possibly even redemption to [[BigBad Desann]] does nothing but [[RedemptionRejection send Desann into a furious rage]]; as a ProudWarriorRaceGuy, the offer of mercy comes across as nothing more than an insult.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' the Samurai Boss Boomer grumbles that he doesn't want Mario's pity after he and the other good guys trounce him, and instead offs himself by cutting the chandelier he was standing on during the boss fight. Granted, it's hard to tell exactly if Mario was offering pity when his only form of communication is [[HeroicMime jumping up and down]].
* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'':
** Barbiel the Needle gets really angry when Setsuko is freed from captivity by [[spoiler:Asakim]] in ''Third VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ: Tengoku-hen''. Setsuko tells Barbiel that she felt his sorrow and says that he is a sad person. In fact, sympathy towards the bearer of the Resentful Scorpion sphere causes its powers to weaken.
** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'': If Lacus fights Embryo (only achieved on the IF Route as [[spoiler: she and a lot of women get kidnapped on the normal route]]), then Embryo yells this at Lacus when the latter feels pity for him.
* In ''VideoGame/SwordOfMana'', after you defeat Devius, Julius' voice is heard and he offers to heal him. Devius' pride is so offended by this that he declares [[spoiler:he'd rather die than accept Julius' pity, ''and then does'']].
* Downplayed by Verse, your [[TheHorde Scarlet Chorus]] party member in ''VideoGame/{{Tyranny}}''. When she tells you the story of how her comrades died because she hesitated in battle and didn't cover them properly, you can either tell her to not make the same mistake again or that it wasn't her fault. She approves of the former because she appreciates being held to a high standard she knows she can meet and is outright insulted by the latter. As she sees it, she made a mistake; her way of honoring the fallen and moving on is acknowledging that and striving to do better.
* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', the gnomes, especially their leader, Gelbin Mekkatorque, feel this way about the dwarves housing them in Ironforge while Gnomeregan is irradiated, as seen in Gelbin's short story [[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/lore/leader-story/gelbin-mekkatorque/2#readmode "Cut Short."]] In the end, though, they channel that feeling into the drive to reclaim Gnomeregan, and Gelbin later says that the gnomes are who they are because of their allies.
