What Video Game Character Do You Think Has the Highest Kill Count

[triggrhappy94]

This came a cross my mind while I was playing Ass Creed 1 (I'm getting all the flags) after dispatching yet another group of 25 guards.
I honestly can't come up with a good answer.
Characters/PCs in multiplayer don't count, and it has to be kills that happen either in gameplay or cutscenes.
The kill count keeps going for games in a series and cameos as long as it's the same character, however kills that happen between the appearences don't count.
(Basically, the devs aren't allowed to say their character went off and killed a billion people between games)
If it's something like Shepard doing some mass genocide--as he does--then just put a star next to their name
It can be a player character or an NPC.

I think Master Cgief might be pretty high up on the listsince he destroys all the Halo Rings with all the flood and Covenant left on them...

 

[PrimitiveJudge]

Master of Orion 2 with a fleet of Doomstars all equipped with stellar converters. I have killed billions. seriously.

 

[Nouw]

Max Payne holds the highest kill count of junkies, mobsters and mercenaries. Seriously, I'm close to finishing Max Payne 1 and he is just mowing through them all.

 

[YuheJi]

I immediately thought of Prototype. It is ridiculously easy to kill people in that game, even when you're not doing so intentionally...

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Master of Orion 2 with a fleet of Doomstars all equipped with stellar converters. I have killed billions. seriously.

I personally don't think you could count games like Masters of Orion in this case given they lack "characters" in any traditional sense of the word.

For my money, I'd bet Master Chief has a body count in the hundreds of thousands from the events of Halo alone.

 

[Zhukov]

It would be someone from a strategy game, the kind that involves nukes or planet destroyers.

 

[endtherapture]

Shepard killed millions of Batarians when he blew up that Mass Relay with the asteroid didn't he?

 

[PrimitiveJudge]

Master of Orion 2 with a fleet of Doomstars all equipped with stellar converters. I have killed billions. seriously.

I personally don't think you could count games like Masters of Orion in this case given they lack "characters" in any traditional sense of the word.

For my money, I'd bet Master Chief has a body count in the hundreds of thousands from the events of Halo alone.

I created a character, based on my personality and slaughtered billions of people. Based on rules alone I have a high kill count. However if the OP would of discredited RTS games then I would agree with you 65% (only because I have played Halo and Halo ODST only.

Hmm might of gone to far off topic then back on topic then off topic.. '

 

[wabbbit]

Whatever character I'm playing - I'm very bloodthirsty on games.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Well... depends... kills done in person? Or kills ordered?

If the former, then... I'unno, really... Serious Sam?

If the latter... the player-head of state in any TW game... -_-

 

[Datsle]

The first Goomba in Super Mario,

 

[krazykidd]

I want to say Dormammu . But other than Marvel vs Capcom i'm not sure if he is in any other games .

The only other chater that comes to mind is Wilhelm ( vector CEO) from the xenosaga series .

 

[Squilookle]

I'm tempted to say Serious Sam, but I'm sure there are better candidates.

The first Goomba in Super Mario,

Actually yeah, this right here. That little guy has probably wiped out half the world's gaming population.

 

[kenu12345]

In cutscenes or in gameplay? Evil Cole MacGrath in inFamous 2 hell he basically uses humans as a renewable energy source in gameplay

 

[Duffeknol]

Serious Sam.

Sure a couple of video game characters blow up planets, but those are indirect kills. Sam gets his hands dirty.

 

[hermes]

Indirect kills count? If they do, Kratos pretty much unleashes the apocalypse and killed everything and everyone by the end of 3.
If they don't, then I guess some characters in Dynasty Warrior should take it.

 

[MoreThanANoob]

I was going to say something like the Doom Marine, but then I saw someone bring up Prototype...


...Yup.

 

[Fisher321]

Indirect kills in an RTS I would have to say the Novalith Cannon in Sins of a Solar Empire. Seriously, this shoots a round so big that it travels across the galaxy and can decolonize (wipe out the planets population and revoke an empires ownership of it) in a single hit. This thing has a cool down time of about 5 minutes, so that's billions of people every five minutes. Yea, pretty bad..

Also, the Capital ships on that game hold about 3-5 thousand personnel, so yeah destroying more than 3 Capitals in a single battle is already sending the death toll to over 10,000. And that's not even counting all the other ships in the fleet.

So one big battle with multiple Capital ships and a large support fleet could easily result in death tolls of over 50,000.

OT

Probably Master Chief.
