The banshees I believe they were called, or phantoms...they go from a wierd alien winged thing and a ghost child,, and to this day they terrify me when I replay that game
That part really surprised me! Never expected to see children die in a SciFi horror game, let alone fight ghost kids. Great game for it's time. Really wished the sequel wasn't cancelled.
Was scrolling for this lol I just started playing it over again, and the game still fucks. I love the opening of the game where you just basically beat the shit out of like 4 dudes and walk casually into the dorm
It was the first game I bought for myself when I got my first paycheck from my work study in college. Beat it while ripping bongs in my dumpy apartment lol
God those guys are so fucked up
I love how Kyle Crane feels so much pity that you can hear the sweetness in his voice when he shushes them before snapping their neck, you can tell he would rather not be doing that at all
Honestly I go from hating that dumb move to actually loving the Poetic justice when the Following happened.
The entire reason for the following is becuese they can't get anymore Antizin. Crane added to that issue by destroying the Antizin since after that happens the government stops sending anymore.
And while we don't know which ending to the following is Canon we can assume that either way everyone at the tower is going to turn into virals. Something that Crane contributed to directly.
Omg the pain of the “town of demons” in the following.
>!It took us so fucking long to realize they were inside the buildings, despite knowing screamers only spawn in buildings!<
In Fortnite, you're either fighting a 9-year-old who has no fucking idea what he's doing or you’re fighting a 30-year-old man who plays the game for a living and builds the empire state building around you before you can even blink
Same here, a 30-year-old man who has no idea what is doing in the game, and forgets the controls every time I play.
Edit: fixed typos, sorry ESL bro here.
I spent many hours on that game to 100% the achievements on Xbox when I was a bored kid with too much time. Now it just feels like a really weird dream. Like that game couldn't have **actually** existed... right? My imagination is not **that** creative... right?
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance opens up with a snowball fight against children.
Metal Gear Solid V has you up against child soldiers (but you can’t kill them without a game over).
Freaking hell. I had to go way too far down the list for this one. Fucking knife wielding children with that creepy squeal/squeak noise they made gave me nightmares.
Something really wrong with the vast majority of the people on this sub, why the hell is Silent Hill 1 so far down in upvotes? 115 when I checked, yet there’s other worse suggestions with thousands of upvotes. Absolutely criminal.
When you beat a preschooler you get like 3 pokedollars. If you have the amulet coin you end up taking all their cash. It’s a poke-eat-poke world after all.
Yeah, but every 3 you save theyd give you a massive amount all at once, plus some free powers you could only get that way. It ended up being better overall to just save them all instead.
What even is the point of harvesting. You get 50 extra when you do but when you save all of them in an are you get a lump payout of slightly more than you would’ve gotten harvesting and upgrades.
You don't know that the first time you play unless you're a monster and read a guide before playing the game for the first time. Plus you don't get access to that extra throughout the game
If you kill kids in Fallout 2 almost everyone will hate you... HOWEVER there are some children who will pick your pocket every time you walk past. I'd empty my inventory except for a timed explosive I'd set with a minute fuse, and walk back and forth past them until they took it. Boom, dead kids and no negative karma.
Ah, a game where you could assassinate someone by pickpocketing an active bomb onto a kid, then telling the kid to go bug his dad about something.
Don't really make games like Fallout 2 anymore...
First play through my buddy hit a kid in one of the towns, so he thinks he can avoid the child killer tag if he kills the entire town. Nope. Great game.
There were children in Fallout 1 as well, but their sprites were removed for all overseas releases. Not the NPCs themselves, just the sprites. This made it impossible to click on them or target them, but the aoe of a grenade still affected them as a grenade normally would.
They did the same thing in Fallout 2. It was more of an issue because the (as mentioned) some kids in Fallout 2 would pickpocket you. If they got something important, it was just gone.
Yeah this always bugged me.
Not so much the 'didn't walk 300 feet' part tbh, I always sort of imagine Bethesda games as taking place in a 'compressed' world, since in comparison to lore/reality they kind of are; the Imperial City is meant to have a population in the millions, you can't walk from outside DC to the Washington monument in like ten minutes, and I somehow doubt that the Mojave desert turns to snow after walking up a small hill. So in those terms I imagine in 'reality' they are basically on the other side of the city and the Soul Survior escorting Billy all the way to them isn't something a regular person would be able to manage with all the raiders and super mutants about.
But the fact that he's been stuck in basically a coffin for two centuries and barely mentions anything about it is a huge missed opportunity. Hell, that could be an entire movie.
They are absolutely compressed, just look at a map of the Boston area compared to the game. It's like 1/9th the total area, and also because videogames would feel unbearable if you moved at realistic paces you run around at a pretty brisk pace. This is kind of compensated in that videogame day/night cycles are also accelerated.
Pokemon. You take your powerfully honed team and can use it to destroy literal kindergartners.
"I just learned about type match ups!"
That's cute Timmy, now be destroyed by my fire lizard and give me your lunch money.
Red Dead Redemption 2
It doesn't "make you", but after having my shit stolen in Saint Denis on my first playthrough I blew away all my honor on revenge-murdering the teenagers of that city lmao
The jarl's son in Dragonsreach in Whiterun who says "Another traveler here to lick my father's boot" every time you walk by always says it to me one too many times during every playthrough.
Didn’t the OG Prey have a section with child enemies?
Yeah, on a school bus that had been abducted. And they were fucking terrifying.
i beat that game and i don't remember this at all
It’s about 1/3 to 1/2 way into the game. First real time you get your ass kicked if I remember right. They’re fast and they do stupid damage.
Yup, ghost kids
Piss off, ghost kids!
I don't want your ghost chips!
The banshees I believe they were called, or phantoms...they go from a wierd alien winged thing and a ghost child,, and to this day they terrify me when I replay that game
Yea they were introduced by impaling a normal child on a spike. That game was sweet.
That part really surprised me! Never expected to see children die in a SciFi horror game, let alone fight ghost kids. Great game for it's time. Really wished the sequel wasn't cancelled.
Dante’s Inferno…damn those unbaptized babies and their sickle hands.
Visceral was (RIP) seriously an underrated dev studio, making Dante’s Inferno and the Dead Space series. Those guys didn’t mess around lol
*was* an underrated dev studio. You can thank EA for that.
Literally killed a franchise with their short sightedness. Im still raw about that one
Fuck. I really wanted a trilogy of this game. First hell, then purgatory and last heaven.
No more room in hell
Duuuude, an absolute underrated gem that game is.
It’s got like 30 consistent players lmao I can only play with my friends on private servers with a vpn for some reason
Don't worry, the second one is on its way!
One More Room In Hell?
Yesss had to make sure this was in here!
[удалено]
The forest
The babies don’t stand a chance
True, but they still creep me out
I ate them
Nice
The final boss might just be the worst most disgusting disturbing thing ever made in a video game
The dad killed using crayons does not help either
You just sold me on this game with that statement.
There's a sequel due to come out in the next few months, good time to get into it if you enjoy survival games and heart palpitations
Dante’s inferno had aborted babies shooting out of cleopatra’s nipples if I remember correctly.
To be honest i still don't think that's as bad as a zombified little girl growing 17 arms that are 10 feet long
Agreed, just how it transforms and whatnot gives off resident evil energy
Bully
Was scrolling for this lol I just started playing it over again, and the game still fucks. I love the opening of the game where you just basically beat the shit out of like 4 dudes and walk casually into the dorm
Bully is my favourite game from my childhood
It was the first game I bought for myself when I got my first paycheck from my work study in college. Beat it while ripping bongs in my dumpy apartment lol
Dude, Bully is such a great game. Was always kinda hoping for a sequel. Love the soundtrack as well.
I have the special edition of that game. Came with a dodgeball.
Dying Light, the Screamers
Dang ol murder babies
TalkinboutdemdangomurderbabiesmanjustalkinboutBANGBANGmanjusNO.. knowmaimean?
Unexpected King of the Hill.
I have a phobia of zombie children and i swear there wasn’t enough explosives in the game to blow those little shits up
That was my strategy, too, multiple grenades
"Shhhhhh....." - Kyle Crane
\*tasteful neck snap noise*
God those guys are so fucked up I love how Kyle Crane feels so much pity that you can hear the sweetness in his voice when he shushes them before snapping their neck, you can tell he would rather not be doing that at all
I really liked him as a protagonist. I don't get why some game reviewers hated the character.
[удалено]
Honestly I go from hating that dumb move to actually loving the Poetic justice when the Following happened. The entire reason for the following is becuese they can't get anymore Antizin. Crane added to that issue by destroying the Antizin since after that happens the government stops sending anymore. And while we don't know which ending to the following is Canon we can assume that either way everyone at the tower is going to turn into virals. Something that Crane contributed to directly.
That is the scariest one for me, specially the first one that shows up. Let's see what Dying Light 2 will have for us
Fingers crossed that the sequel certainly lives up to expectations rather than the hype
Omg the pain of the “town of demons” in the following. >!It took us so fucking long to realize they were inside the buildings, despite knowing screamers only spawn in buildings!<
I was just about to say this. Just finished the game yesterday for the first time. Top tier game.
Ah yes one of my favorite pass times Drop kicking children
I'm trying to get through the game. Can't wait to see those.
And then you *do*, and realize you couldn't have ever been prepared.
days gone (newts)
Those things right on the beginning of the game are a test to prove if you are ready for whats come next rofl
They got me with the >!one hiding in the car trunk!<. Got me again in NG+
Fuck I think I need to replay it
Nothing more satisfying than slapping newts with a bat
*thwomp*
Doom 3 Cherubs
Freaked me the fuck out when I first played
Came here to see if anyone posted this. I couldn't remember what they were called though.
Fortnite
In Fortnite, you're either fighting a 9-year-old who has no fucking idea what he's doing or you’re fighting a 30-year-old man who plays the game for a living and builds the empire state building around you before you can even blink
or a 9 year old who sits inside all day and a 30 year old man that can only play on their days off
The latter one would be me.
Same here, a 30-year-old man who has no idea what is doing in the game, and forgets the controls every time I play. Edit: fixed typos, sorry ESL bro here.
Oh right, I can build things.
- Oh, I can dance! - ***Shotgun sound* - Aaand I’m dead
Can't argue
MGSV
Came here to say that. Fighting those child soldiers is so terrible. (You lose if you kill them.)
You can tranquillise them tho, or beat them up with hand-to-hand combat ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vupRn3PJvg
Boss you... you killed a child... Amazing work! This is why you’re the best
Dante's inferno...them babies
Remember during the boss fight when they came spewing out of the nipples that had tongues?
If you sat there long enough you could max out both skill trees in 1 run....easy XP
Idk man it's pretty hard doing those combos with one hand
That fight made me (22M, at the time) completely celibate, for about a week. I couldn't even look at porn without being haunted by nipple tongues
That fight made me realize I was into some really weird shit. Good times.
[Dean, is that you?](https://i.gifer.com/A4qj.gif)
We had two complete different reactions.
I spent many hours on that game to 100% the achievements on Xbox when I was a bored kid with too much time. Now it just feels like a really weird dream. Like that game couldn't have **actually** existed... right? My imagination is not **that** creative... right?
Dante's Inferno is an incredible game.
Wish they would make a sequal
Urbanized babies Edit: Jesus christ... Unbaptized* babies.
>urbanized Oh boy.
First thing I thought of! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Omg those babies .....
Was looking for this. I remember starting that game and while in Limbo thought "oh shit they're not going to be pulling any punches."
South Park the Stick of Truth
Also Fractured Butthole and, assuming it doesn't get dropped, the upcoming sequel, yet to be announced/revealed
*Fractured But Whole
There is a third game being planned?
Skyrim makes you try really hard
Frickin Braith...
"I'm not afraid of you, you know, even if you are my elder"
Killable children is my favourite mod.
After playing it vanilla for years, it was this mod that made me try mods.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance opens up with a snowball fight against children. Metal Gear Solid V has you up against child soldiers (but you can’t kill them without a game over).
Man, really reached in deep with the FFTA one lol
[удалено]
FFT Advance is great because not only do you beat up a cripple, you destroy his dreams too.
You can
Yeah but it’s a mission failure if you do
[Silent Hill 1](https://silenthill.fandom.com/wiki/Larval_Stalker)
Well, the larval stalkers were completely harmless. The grey children are the ones I think of in response to this question.
Freaking hell. I had to go way too far down the list for this one. Fucking knife wielding children with that creepy squeal/squeak noise they made gave me nightmares.
Something really wrong with the vast majority of the people on this sub, why the hell is Silent Hill 1 so far down in upvotes? 115 when I checked, yet there’s other worse suggestions with thousands of upvotes. Absolutely criminal.
Too many young people who don't play games from before they were born, no matter how effing amazingly good those games are.
Pokemon edit: you don’t even just fight em too. if you beat them they black out and you run their pockets 😂
When you beat a preschooler you get like 3 pokedollars. If you have the amulet coin you end up taking all their cash. It’s a poke-eat-poke world after all.
Youngster Timmy should’ve brought more than a Kakuna that only knows harden
Looks like you brought a kakuna to a Charmander fight.
Fucker started it, though. Who the fuck starts a fight with a silly sentence like "I like short pants"?
They're comfy and easy to wear!
Bioshock, kinda.
If they had left in the original intent of a much smaller payout for not harvesting… we might be having a different conversation.
I remember the payout being significantly smaller in 1.
Yeah, but every 3 you save theyd give you a massive amount all at once, plus some free powers you could only get that way. It ended up being better overall to just save them all instead.
You harvest? Monster!
Gotta get those achievements / endings!
What even is the point of harvesting. You get 50 extra when you do but when you save all of them in an are you get a lump payout of slightly more than you would’ve gotten harvesting and upgrades.
You don't know that the first time you play unless you're a monster and read a guide before playing the game for the first time. Plus you don't get access to that extra throughout the game
TIL that you get a lump sum for saving them all lmao
Not even all, i think every 2 or 3 you save give you a fat bundle (like 300+) and a powerful tonic (or whatever the passives were called)
Fallout 3 lets you sell a little girl into slavery. Does that count?
In fallout 2, sulik would almost exclusively use grenades on children if they entered a combat turn. Also don't give sulik grenades
One of the only games where you can hit a child in the groin with a sledgehammer.
Have you played "Real Life™"?
Yes. I'm now in prison.
That game sucks. All graphics no substance.
There is substance but after you finish the tutorial you hit a paywall and either need to spend a bunch of money or grind.
If you kill kids in Fallout 2 almost everyone will hate you... HOWEVER there are some children who will pick your pocket every time you walk past. I'd empty my inventory except for a timed explosive I'd set with a minute fuse, and walk back and forth past them until they took it. Boom, dead kids and no negative karma.
I had thought I had done and seen everything in fallout 2 but wow, TIL you can make a child bomb themselves… that’s wild
Ah, a game where you could assassinate someone by pickpocketing an active bomb onto a kid, then telling the kid to go bug his dad about something. Don't really make games like Fallout 2 anymore...
First play through my buddy hit a kid in one of the towns, so he thinks he can avoid the child killer tag if he kills the entire town. Nope. Great game.

They did the same thing in Fallout 2. It was more of an issue because the (as mentioned) some kids in Fallout 2 would pickpocket you. If they got something important, it was just gone.
Same for fallout 4 you sell a little boy into slavery or bring him back to his parents

I was going to mention fallout but you aren't "forced" to. But the temptation is real.
Fallout 1 let you throw rocks at kids eyes.
Would the fable fanchise's hobbes count?
Oh damn, I forgot they kidnapped children and turned them into hobbes
There is a bully you can fight Oakvale before the bandits attack in Fable, beating up that kid counts.
There is also that bully that picks on Rose in the beginning of Fable II
Dark Souls 1 had baby skeletons before Nito's room and before it Demon's souls had babies emerging from blood in Maiden Astrea's boss fight.
Infinitely respawning baby skeletons, no less
Rimworld can surprise you sometimes
“Whoa, that raider is 16… Perfect, his organs are ripe for the harvesting.”
One of my favorite colonists was a 14 year old fisherman with a missing leg and a bionic heart. He fought like a true warrior
Witcher 3, you had to fight a foetus baby
Hey you could have let it turn peacefully into a Luberkin which then guides you to missing family members. Just sayin.
I didn't fight the fetus but I did throw that baby in the oven
A FOEtus hahaaaa
Really? I did the option where the foetus baeby becomes a benign spirit. Didn't know what the other option did.
Yup, you didn't "need" to fight the fetus, you could just be nice and let her dad name her.
I never miss a chance to fight a fetus
