I would have the same list except for one change. Kendo and his daughter would have been 1st. The reason is because Ethan has made the ultimate sacrifice to save his daughter and wife but Kendo had to do the worst nightmare of all parents: Killing his own child. I have children myself and when i play a video game where the hero is a father or a mother , I literally put myself in the hero's shoes. I was sad when Ethan died but it was the choice i would have done. After the scene of Kendo i had to stop playing cause i cried so much, my heart was broken. it's every parents worst nightmare like i said. Phew! lol I think i'm an emotional guy lollll Nice Video!
I feel the Steve death needed to be followed up by a jump cut to Krusty the Clown shouting "He's Dead!" and then hearing all the kids cheering…
Fuck FPS Resident Evil
I was glad Ethan died so that this storyline that CAPCOM that would be good can die now I hoel we've seen the end of Call of Duty style
The way Ethan said, " Goodbye, Rosemary" always breaks me ): Definitely the saddest death for me in the franchise
The tragedy of Ethan was that Chris was the dumbest person imaginable. If he had taken literally thirty seconds to explain what was happening in the prologue, he probably would have survived.
No the saddest deth is the ganado in Leon’s jacket from seperet ways
His swag will live on in our hearts
One death I think has hit me quite a bit was Krauser's death in Resident Evil 4's remake. While he still was a villain, kidnapped Ashley and set off the chain of events in RE4, he still had a tragic story to tell and was much more fleshed out than he was before. To me, his desire for power was a coping mechanism for the loss of his men during the mission in Operation Javier, and while he does state he didn't care for his men, I think he really did.
So when I saw the moment, I watched as the real Krauser came back for one last moment to tell Leon to do what he had to do; not only telling him to kill him, but to finish his mission. Seeing Leon's reluctance to kill his mentor figure and the pain it must have brought to him to kill Krauser did make me feel bad for Leon and Krauser. This is only capped off when Krauser, for the first time, acknowledges Leon by name, as an equal, and seeing Leon's expression and attempt to hold back his sadness.
The remake really did make you feel bad even for some of the villains.
Piers death still hits hard I remember playing that campaign and getting teary at that scene. The fact that he still got mention in Death Island made me feel nostalgic about their time during RE6.
The good news is Kendall lives just play resident evil remake three
Piers all the way. Ethan doesn't even crack top 10 for me lol could not care less about him if I tried, and I've played damn near every game in the series since its inception.
I'd have to disagree with remake Annette. The original was more sympathetic, and showed way more concern for Sherry than in the remake.
But I'm glad to see Piers and Ethan get some deserved respect. In spite of RE8 having a rather rough narrative, the ending with Ethan was well done. I enjoyed him in both RE7 and RE8. And I liked Piers, same with RE6. He gave Chris the hard time he needed to get his spark back. Hopefully he'll get to retire one of these days.
Cmon we all know the saddest death in an Re Game…
It's Pedro from Revelations 2 😂
I honestly didnt care to much when Piers sacrificed himself, but when Wesker died i laughed then cried cause he was one of my favorite R.E. characters plus that voice in 5 was so iconic
Piers should be number 1 over Ethan. He was around for longer and was almost like Chris's brother. Especially considering his interactions with Claire.
Ngl i also thought capcom went insane introducing ethan in re7 …but later to on village and to realize he was already dead at the beginning of re7. He was literally the perfect BOW in pov but yeah he is definitely saddest sacrifice. Even though its a game i tear up when eveline told him the truth
Number 1 should had been Wesker! Before his death, Wesker last word was "Chris!" Like he wanted to say something to him something important but we will never know.
Great video and 100% agree with your logic and choices, especially 1 and 2. Take a bow
Shit list
Don't Worry Clair your Knight and shining Armour Has arrived
In an ideal world leon and Claire would have adopted Sherry and got her that puppy
I felt bad for Brad. He was crying and Jill didn’t take one stab at nemesis. Shame on her
Ok in sherry defence she had a complex relationship with her Parents and after everything she went through in Raccoon City let's give her break
You do realise if anything happened to brad who's going to pilot chopper
So many died like real heroes. Basically almost all of them.
I knew about that line but it never occured to me sherry said that not even 20 minutes later. Thats hilarious haha.
As for the number 1 spot im not huge on ethan. Hes kinda boring as a character and has a one track mind. His death didnt hit me as much as piers
I cant play first-person game no more, so ethan's death is nothing to me…
Losing Ethan definitely hurts especially because if Chris had just told Ethan the plan i bet he would be alive and i love how his character ends in the dlc protecting his child
chief irons was sad…..yeah people say he was bad but I think he was just misunderstood
Piers Nivans death till now makes me tear up watching him go like that.
I know she's a "bad guy" but Donna's death hits me every time. As soon as Angie starts running, I'm in tears. She didn't want to hurt anyone, she was a pawn used by Miranda that just wanted to be alone with her doll friends. She even writes on the back of your family photo, "Take care of our little Rose" or something to the effect. 😢😢😢
Mia should have been killed, instead of Ethan dying
Steve's death I felt was the most satisfying death in resident evil
I cried harder for Piers than any of the others. MVP for real.
Resident Evil 6 has shown there is a higher unknown power at play here who dabble in bioweapon. Hopefully, Capcom comes back to this concept later in RE9 if they ever they get around to it.
I had Plat'd RE6 a few months ago and from all the negative stuff I heard about the game, I wasn't expecting Piers' death to hit as hard as it did. He really went so far to help Chris find himself again and then went out like he did ðŸ˜
