7 ‘Non-Lethal’ Options That Killed People For Sure: Commenter Edition

a short time ago we pondered some of the allegedly non-lethal options in games that when you think about it we're about as non-lethal as a skinny dip in a shark tank everyone in the comments of that video went on to add their fabulously lethal non-lethal takedowns so now's the time to see what they had to share in the category of dubiously conscience sparing supposedly lights are alternatives to murder or as we like to call them I can't believe it's not murder all the great murder taste none of the murder calories so strap yourself in for some of our commenters favorites and beware spoilers for the following [Music] we didn't include Deus Ex Human Revolution on our previous list because we were concerned that the non-lethal takedowns weren't lethal enough but you guys let us know we needn't have worried around 90% of people who commented on the video pointed out that actually yes getting punched in the skull with augmented metal arms would probably kill you at least he has the courtesy to tap them on the shoulder first coming to Vail when Marcus put it best though pointing out that those same metal arms can make light work of concrete cinder blocks what about Adam Jensen's non-lethal takedowns he punches people with arms that can reduce concrete to dust that's got to have broken a few necks yes if you're trying to do a deeply moral non-lethal playthrough of the excellent Deus Ex Human Revolution you can't help but wonder how many hapless guards would have died from injuries inflicted by Adams powerful cybernetic right hook there is however a solution to this problem get someone with regular arms to punch them instead that's using your metal head also so is this from sequel deus ex mankind divided yikes Adam did you see that guy's pointy helmet we'll call that one a draw oh you don't mind if I tag along right just to keep an old man safe one last thing I found something for you I know you collect these stone you need me in the previous video about non-lethal alternatives to killing we mentioned the unfortunate fate of dishonored high overseer Campbell who almost certainly died from the rat plague thanks to Corvo but it turns out doubt from Dishonored dlc knife of dunwall has a similarly casual approach to non lethality in particular during the mission a captain of industry your target is Bundoora rough wild who like so many of the targets in disordered games probably deserves what's coming to him choking really rough well that kind of sass is not a good idea when you're strapped to an electric chair after you've extracted Intel from Roth wild you could either gut him like one of the whales in his slaughterhouse or as comet adjusted helm suggests you can go for the non-lethal option which is to nail him in a crate and ship him off to the farthest corner of the Empire sorry earlier I spotted crates bound for the most remote corner of the Empire might be worth noting anyone dishonored knife of dunwall Roth wild you can throw him into a crate and send him off to a faraway Island no food no water doubts companion Billy lurk makes a point of saying that the journey inside the crate is survivable but to be honest it sounds more like she's trying to justify it to herself survivable if they had a fast ship yeah well I mean a helicopter crash is also technically survivable that doesn't mean I'd rate your chances still if it's a choice between probably kill him or definitely kill him I guess we'll have to go with probably kill him sorry buddy what the Mortal Kombat series is legendary for its fatalities which are a very final way to end a martial arts bout so it's not the point scoring three judges kind of martial arts match then good glad we saw it that also can someone notify that guy's next of kin the Mortal Kombat reboot in 2011 introduced a move that was just as spectacular as a fatality but was crucially non-lethal so it could be deployed in the middle of a fight for a huge amount of damage and when I say crucially non-lethal I mean excruciating ly lethal it was commented to consoie who brought this glaring oversight to our attention saying you forgot to mention all the x-ray moves in MK 9 and MK X most of the x-ray moves focus on smashing your opponent's skeletons until they resemble crazy paving but it could I suppose be argued that having a shattered skull with bits of your brain hanging at the front is a survivable injury I mean you wouldn't be finishing the fight there would walking home put it that way it's katanas x-ray moved though that's the most transparently deadly as she jams her two bladed hand fans first into the back of her opponent's head then into the front through their eye sockets do you reckon she ever uses those to actually cool down you win her now we don't want to call yoshimitsu from Tekken a cheat but I noticed that no one else brought a giant samurai sword to the first king of Iron Fist tournament was the king of steel blade tournament all full up Yoshimitsu sure if you're familiar with the rules of the Tekken games you'll know that all you have to do to win a round is to knock your opponent out something that can be achieved simply by smashing their head on your knee you win or kicking them in the leg maybe he was already feeling a bit woozy Yoshimitsu though has to take things too far as common to Mikkel points out what about yoshimitsu from Tekken he can stab people with a sword and somehow they survive Yoshimitsu standard hacks and slashes are one thing but by yourself enough time to wind up and you can perform his unblockable sword thrust where he runs his opponent through you win oh trying to think how many internal organs that just pierced still by Tekken 2 you must be pretty confident in its non lethality given these happy to do it to himself it wasn't until Tekken 6 that everyone else was permitted to bring a weapon into battle finally leveling the playing field somewhat wait two swords seriously - guys I got the one on the right you ready ready go good job okay I'm gonna deploy the draw and see what's up ahead the spec ops unit you play as in Ghost Recon wildlands is known as the ghosts thanks in part to their ability to strike quickly silently and invisibly although as commented Cooper Johnson points out not always non-lethal II as they say what about in wild lands when you knock out people by snapping their necks these special covert tactic Cooper's referring to here is when one of your Ghost Recon wildlands sneaks up on an unwary enemy and is presented with the prompt to render them unconscious obviously being a highly trained stealth infiltrator knocking the bad guys out seems like a great idea it's silent they're out of the picture and you don't leave behind a huge body count that your government has that unconvincingly disavow further down the line it's win-win or it would be if the ghosts knew what knock out means here's an example of one of the ghosts knocking someone out seems to me ghosts that when he moves someone's neck like that and it makes a crunch like that that they're a bit more than knocked out yeah unless he was storing a bag of potato chips in his collar that guy is dead are you sure the button prompt wasn't supposed to say knock off instead of knock out I would explain a lot of all the times to get squeamish about taking an enemy's life the end of Mass Effect one is the worst you've finally chased down sera notorious the turians Spectre jackass who betrayed all of galactic civilization and for what to get in the good books of a race of mechanical space monsters and a free hoverboard clearly he deserves the business end of your katana shotgun right in his mandibles as a mandibles I was afraid you wouldn't make it in time Shepard in time for what the final confrontation but if you're determined to be all virtuous and Paragon up until the very end and you've sunk enough points into your ability to charm your way out of trouble you can sweet-talk Sarah into peacefully backing down from a climactic brawl here in the Mass Effect one finale the Reapers are too powerful some part of you must still realize this is wrong you can fight this however the actual outcome of this supposedly non-lethal Paragon interaction is as commented drd4 for four observes talking Saren out of fighting at the end of Mass Effect one but then he just shoots himself in the head it's not over yet you can still redeem yourself No thank you sir n' you've just spared my conscience and a whole bunch of ammo [Applause] if anyone asks his final words were I want Shepard to have my hoverboard unique monster hunters all about killing monsters not our the word hunter doesn't necessarily mean killer you know granted most people will merrily hack away at these majestic creatures with a katana that's taller than they are and then plunge a knife into them to carve out slabs of raw meat turning one of nature's greatest creations into a delicious mixed barbecue platter if you're wondering who the real monster here is is the one with barbecue sauce all over its face there is another altogether more animal friendly way if you weaken a creature enough catch it in a trap and then beam it with tranquilizer bombs you'll complete the mission without having to kill this noble Beast I mean yes you'll still have slash it up good and proper with a massive sword but you won't have killed it these things make a real difference if you're saved being sentenced for animal cruelty there is a slight problem though that might still get you into hot water with Petter as common to the Ruby King 2014 points out in Monster Hunter you have the option to capture a monster instead of killing it but you still get bones and sometimes even organs in the reward box for some reason bones and organs Mac yeah it's really difficult to remove an animal's bones and organs put them in a box and keep the thing alive not sure I'm gonna rationalize this one to my vegan friends I've got it it's entirely possible to live without bones and organs you just need to be a jellyfish easy so those were some of your suggestions for the most lethal non-lethal takedowns in video games but before you go got some more videos for you to watch it's one up here from us you click on that and down here is another video from outside extra our sister channel and the guards guarding the studio who I'd knocked out at the start of this video they should be coming around no he's not it's actually he was rendered unconscious no I think you'll find I choked him unconscious yeah well I mean it's non-lethal so are you a doctor didn't think so
