Video games over the years have presented us with some pretty bad moments, some were gruesome, some gave you a choice of doing good or bad. Some have faced controversy, while others people stared at with tossed stomachs.
Below are 10 of the most savage, if not morally twisting moments in gaming history. Warning: some images might be disturbing to some viewers.
10. Red Dead Redemption: “Dastardly” achievement
In order to get this achievement or trophy, you had to tie a woman up with a rope, take her to some train tracks, and lay her over them, then you had to wait for a train to come run her over, only to see her explode into a cloud of blood. This was kind of surprising, as someone who was expecting the NPC to kind of just ragdoll along the locomotive.
9. Resident Evil 4: The Chainsaw Man
Upon arriving at a village near the start of the game, you are attacked by the villagers there, after running into a house for safety, you see one particularly angry villager with a chainsaw. After the cutscene, if the chainsaw man got close to you he would go right for the neck, swiftly cutting your character’s head off as his body drops to the ground.
8. Fallout 3: Blowing up megaton
After offering your service to Sheriff Lucas Simms to disarm the dormant bomb in the middle of the settlement, you can head up to Moriarty’s Saloon where you are approached by a man named Mister Burke, who offers you 500 caps for rigging the bomb for detonation. After you do this, you go to a location he previously disclosed to you, and you are granted the act of flicking the switch to destroy Megaton. Destroying an entire settlement with a dormant nuke? Who would do such a– Okay, yeah i did it.
7. Fallout 3: The Pint Sized Slasher killing spree
This one also being from Fallout 3 is a bit on the gruesome side, you infiltrate Vault 112, and enter Tranquility Lane. There you have to talk to a girl named Betty, who asks you to do a series of task that will lead you down the bad path, eventually she will ask you to acquire a mask and knife, and kill off everybody in Tranquility Lane. It’s kind of like getting to be a miniature Jason Vorhees.

Michael’s objective was to snipe a target, while Trevor had to torture a man you had previously kidnapped for information regarding the target’s appearance.

You continue to follow Makarov through the airport as they kill every civilian in sight, and then later on you have to fight off the police. This mission has caused some major controversy, and has even caused the developers to put in an option for the players to skip the mission entirely.

3. Metal Gear Solid V: Quiet’s rampage scene
On one mission you have to go rescue Quiet as she had let herself get taken captive as prisoner.

She even goes so far as to bite off one soldier’s ear and stab another soldier in the privates several times.
