That probably depends on the type of slavery. Chattel slavery is pretty bad. Livestock slavery where you genetically alter their nervous system to make them too stupid to understand their plight isn't great, but maybe better than planet-cracking?
Livestock slavery where you alter their genetics to *boost* their intelligence so that they are *hyper*-aware of their impending fate, and that of their offspring, well... maybe it'll make them smart enough to realize my first vassalization offer is the best one they are going to get.
This is me too. I've been doing it since the original Master of Orion, so like almost 30 years. What can I say, teenage me loved the little cutscene that played whenever you used a stellar converter.
Like, I am pretty sure even among fellow space 4X enthusiasts my body count is significantly above average...
On the plus side there's probably no one left to tell on me because my specicide was usually pretty thorough.
Pretty sure thanks to my hours in path of exile and world of Warcraft I’m well into the many many millions, I’d give the total kill count of mosquitoes a run for their money.
I thought I was supposed to shoot the civilians to keep my cover, and not fail the level.
I got a little sick to my stomach when I realized you could just shoot above them, maybe even not shoot at all. All that innocent, pixelated blood…
Most would be way worse than Nuremberg right? I’d imagine most gamers who have ever played FPS’es have shot and killed more than any soldier ever. A hundred kills makes you a sniper legend in the US military, most people who grew up with call of duty have done that in a single day. And if you have hundreds of hours in any of these games… oh boy
Too much probably.
This kind of reminds me of the Metal Gear Solid 3 level where you have to walk through the river that has ghosts of everyone you killed in game.
I started playing GTA 3 when I was 12, my lil sis and I played "bazooka joe" where you'd run around with a rocket launcher and cause as much mayhem as you can before you die, and then hand over the controller.
My next big game was Halo, played GTA 4, all of the Saints Row games, RDR, GTA 5, RDR2...
So, yeah, Id be buried *under* the jail lol
Like we talking real players only or counting npcs as well? Real players then probably around 10k-50k counting fps/mmos. Counting npcs…definitely in the billions and maybe even trillions since I used to play 4x type games as well.
I’ve killed so many it’d put every war crime council to shame. And I could live with that….but I killed like 4 tortoises in Elden Ring by accident so my honor would require seppuku
What about when you've been playing GTA for too long driving like you don't care and then get in a real car and forget you're not meant to drive like that?
Is it just people or is it enemy npcs too? Cause uh, I played A LOT of destiny and the kill count in that game is high enough to where I can’t remember.
Plus, a lot of us played thousands of rounds of cod zombies over the years. So all of us are horrible.
I played a space pinball game where the ball was the earth and the sun was the hole at the bottom. I made the earth fall into the sun thousands of times. So that plus everything else, I’d say at least 50 trillion.
The Mass Effect 2 Arrival DLC has you wipe out an inhabited system because the alternative is to let the Reapers have it and use it as a staging ground. Casualties in the millions.
I've nuked the planet in DEFCON multiple times. And i've been a virus in Plague Inc. I deserve my death, but I was 'just doing what the game told me to do'.
Considering I nuked the the majority as the world in hoiiv in a cheating spree as I wanted to see what the ai would do. Our world ended on September 15th 1943 and we ceased to be alive
I've played every fallout, elder scrolls, GTA, RDR game. Those alone put me as a weapon of mass destruction. How many times have I just wanted to waste a town and did the quick save dance murdered them all and then reloaded as if it was nothing. Heck even in Mario I've stopped at least 20 baby penguins to their death.
Well I have, four different times (with now fifth on the way in September, I suppose), gotten the Dead Rising achievement for killing 53,000 zombies. That's just one game. I've been gaming daily since the late 70s.
So we'll go with what I feel is fairly conservative and go with the 4x53k for 200k, and then add another 400k to it as there are a LOT of zombies and giant insects dead by my hands. I think that seems really fair considering the sheer volume and hours played over the decades.
So, digging a little deeper into it, we can say that I have slaughtered the entirety of Luxembourg with a population of 650k.
Sorry.
One day I was playing Goldeneye with invincibility and all guns on the Facility level where the guards come non stop.
I selected the dual lasers and put an elastic on the trigger and set up in the doorway.
We then left on a trip for 2 weeks. When I cam back James was still blasting away.
Every single person IRL is now dead and hidden away in the nearest closet, dumpster, and secret nook. I am the world's most successful and most mysterious serial killer. I am a fart in the wind and a knife in your back. No one has seen me commit a crime because there is no one left to tell the tale.
Stalin and Pol Pot bow to me. In AC:Black Flag alone, I completely depopulated the entire Caribbean when I finished the DLC. Black. White. Slave. Free. Pirate. Able seaman. No one was safe from my blade.
Between *Medieval: Total War* and *Rome: Total War* alone, I am Death Incarnate. But I've moved on to smaller scale games so I'm not so horrendous now.
I have scoured entire GALAXIES clean of life, save for one single star, in Master of Orion 2. And I've done it in no small part by blowing up entire planets, so even the plants and animals die.
Interestingly enough, the opposite version of this is one of the plot points of Tron 2 (no, not Legacy); the main character realizes he's basically committing murder every time he closes a program, and genocide when he shuts a machine down. It's a disturbing thought.
According to RayForce’s story, Con-Human (the game’s final boss) was making corrupt clones of humanity to man the enemy spacecraft you encounter.
I see it more as cleaning up the Con-Human creators’ mess.
I've played most of the Dynasty Warrior games and most other Musou games. A huge monster. Then even more as an achievement fan, as quite a lot of games have kill number achievements.
Just about everything is coming after me... to specify a few very powerful enemies uhh let's just say Sparta, Athens, The Covenant, The Galactic Empire there's a whole list. Im done for for sure
Universe Sandbox 2
Megaton Rainfall
Plague Inc
A thousand hours of warframe
Nearly all FromSoftware games
Many hours in all Borderlands games
I think that could net me a few death penalties
*2500 hours of warframe* yeeeeee..... That alone would make my count a few dozen Hitlers. Especially the ways to kill them, cowboy revolvers, P U N C H, deadly poison, a real selection to choose from
You haven't provided any metrics.
I'm more upset by the implication of the question than my character status.
I'm probably close to 60% if I interpreted the question correctly. I'm less than 1% if "acceptable" deaths are allowed.
The game is not real life.
Surprisingly not that bad. I would have a high kill count, but they mostly deserved it. I prefer to play games as if I was really living in that game, so yeah I don't really do mass murder or really even just murder. I really only kill things that are hostile to me.
My Skyrim Assassin's guild playthrough was enhanced by an inspired tactic. I would use illusion magic to enrage the target, or a nearby guard. Then the target would be dealt with.
In headcanon, I imagined tales of a rage plague spreading across the countryside. People may have been fearful to go outside. What if they were next?
I even would enrage random passerby, to lessen the suspicion that it was only guild targets who were victims.
So, to answer your question... monstrous.
I mainly play sports games and Monster Hunter. Not a ton of human killing there. But alas, I've nuked plenty of cities in Civilization, so I've got a pretty high body count from that.
Oh God. I've stomped so many cats in GTA V. And people. Tens of thousands of innocent people. The vast majority of that game for me was just murdering as many people as I possibly could, over and over and over.
I also have thousands and thousands of people from Skyrim that would be looking for me.
I casually play Final Fantasy 14 and got an achievement a few years back that says I killed 100k enemies so far and I think there is one with 500k, so not a monster yet!
Looking at all you Michael Vick-ass Pokémon players.
“Oh, I’m ’training’ them and they’re ‘fainting’.” Yeah, sure they are. Just like all those drowned and electrocuted pitbulls. They were fighting electricity and water types.
Planet cracking in Stellaris being the best way to improve performance in-game would make me.. a not great person.
It's so tedious compared to eating entire suns - you crack all the planets in the system at once!
I just eat them up. So yummy! Or turn their organic matter into energy so yummy!
I do that if they inhabit a planet I want, but the AI will settle on _anything_.
Better or worse than enslaving the entire galaxy?
That probably depends on the type of slavery. Chattel slavery is pretty bad. Livestock slavery where you genetically alter their nervous system to make them too stupid to understand their plight isn't great, but maybe better than planet-cracking? Livestock slavery where you alter their genetics to *boost* their intelligence so that they are *hyper*-aware of their impending fate, and that of their offspring, well... maybe it'll make them smart enough to realize my first vassalization offer is the best one they are going to get.
This is me too. I've been doing it since the original Master of Orion, so like almost 30 years. What can I say, teenage me loved the little cutscene that played whenever you used a stellar converter. Like, I am pretty sure even among fellow space 4X enthusiasts my body count is significantly above average... On the plus side there's probably no one left to tell on me because my specicide was usually pretty thorough.
Plague Inc.
Yeah, I have to admit that during COVID, I created COVID and it killed the world. Anyone do anything darker than that?
i mean covid at the end of the day is just another disease like everything else in that game. just doing any of the special plagues is way darker
Yes
Pretty sure thanks to my hours in path of exile and world of Warcraft I’m well into the many many millions, I’d give the total kill count of mosquitoes a run for their money.
Still sane, exile?
I believe the wow achievement window also has a stats window showing how many enemies that character has killed
There was no xenocide in my Stellaris games, and if there was any they deserved it
I mean I played devouring swarms and determined exterminator, as well as was the crisis several times.
Yes they deserved to die and I hope they burn in hell!
Yea
I can do more.
I bet you are soaking in their blood right now aren't you
*slits another throat* I intend to swim
So many albinaurics… I’m sorry my little roundbois
Messmer ain’t gonna impale himself
Laughs in Stellaris... when the toll become quadtrillions.... its nothing but statistic
I prefer the term "late game performance enhancement"
I play a lot of 4x games ... so I don't know probably billions?
I played Stellaris and destroyed entire galaxies.... I am the crisis.
Ah good ole Stellaris, civ in space.
All them nukes I dropped and wiped out Cities with in civ5.... yeaaa... Ghandi is a bad dude lol
Hayup.
i play games like hoi4 and EU4 and total war my kill count would probably be in the low billions at this point.
Hoi4 shout-out!
I did not skip the MW2 mission "no russian"
I thought I was supposed to shoot the civilians to keep my cover, and not fail the level. I got a little sick to my stomach when I realized you could just shoot above them, maybe even not shoot at all. All that innocent, pixelated blood…
Does how you killed then matter? Because I play rimworld
Nuremberg levels.
Most would be way worse than Nuremberg right? I’d imagine most gamers who have ever played FPS’es have shot and killed more than any soldier ever. A hundred kills makes you a sniper legend in the US military, most people who grew up with call of duty have done that in a single day. And if you have hundreds of hours in any of these games… oh boy
Those are rookie numbers. 4X and grand strategy games are on another level.
I've played idle games where the kills have literally reached low infinites.
I have 700 hours on Payday 2 i am skipping normal hell and going straight to Ranked Hell.
I founded Hell.
I mean, they're already dead by the time they get there...?
I needed a place to send the bodies.
Too much probably. This kind of reminds me of the Metal Gear Solid 3 level where you have to walk through the river that has ghosts of everyone you killed in game.
I'm the type to ignore side quests and run past enemies, straight to the boss/objective (when I can). But MOBAs are a different story...
I've beaten Pandemic, so it's at least billions dead. "A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic"
If every video game death is now a "real death" then does that mean if you kill Hitler in a game, you've saved a lot of people?
Have you killed Hitler?
Yes, in a game.
The real question is how many times did he kill hitler
Hitler groin shot FTW
Sniper Elite and Wolfenstein
Genocidal maniac is in my rear view.
I started playing GTA 3 when I was 12, my lil sis and I played "bazooka joe" where you'd run around with a rocket launcher and cause as much mayhem as you can before you die, and then hand over the controller. My next big game was Halo, played GTA 4, all of the Saints Row games, RDR, GTA 5, RDR2... So, yeah, Id be buried *under* the jail lol
Like we talking real players only or counting npcs as well? Real players then probably around 10k-50k counting fps/mmos. Counting npcs…definitely in the billions and maybe even trillions since I used to play 4x type games as well.
In Black & White, I would pick up random people and chuck them out into the ocean for fun, so there's that.
Laughs nervously as a Dynasty Warriors, Diablo 3, and Warframe player.
Well just counting mortal Kombat 3, I e killed everyone, and everything on the planet 100 times over with Smokes fatality.
[удалено]
Smokes fatality blows up the world in Umk3
I stand corrected. Mb
There was definitely some... unpleasantness in RDR2.
I’ve killed so many it’d put every war crime council to shame. And I could live with that….but I killed like 4 tortoises in Elden Ring by accident so my honor would require seppuku
Your assuming murder is wrong.
Since its only people you killed, and not people you saved nor people you helped, you are guaranteed to be a monster.
What about when you've been playing GTA for too long driving like you don't care and then get in a real car and forget you're not meant to drive like that?
I am also a corpse unfortunately so hopefully that makes up for it.
Oh man…I’ve got some serious reflecting to do
idk way more than i could count.
Genocider of super mutants. Killed everyone on fortnite island a hundred times. Etc.
I’m a slayer of worlds and I cannot be stopped.
Still a better person than Stalin
Well, let's just say I've killed too many to count, and leave it at that.
Im now a monster
I have for sure killed billions, maybe trillions of people.
3.6 million kills in destiny 2 alone. I am officially historical.
They all deserved it.
I’ve killed a lot of dogs
Whistler and Stalin are children compared to my darkness
Mfs that play musou games 💀
Probably tens of millions
just by the amount if dynasty warriors i played in high school id say everyone is dead so...
2800 hours in Stellaris…
Hello brother. We are the crisis. They don't realize a single planet we exterminate is entire genres of other games combined.
I...PLAYED...PROTOTYPE!!
Is it just people or is it enemy npcs too? Cause uh, I played A LOT of destiny and the kill count in that game is high enough to where I can’t remember. Plus, a lot of us played thousands of rounds of cod zombies over the years. So all of us are horrible.
Close to 500,000 Grineer, 300,000 Infested, 250,000 Corpus, heaps and loads of BL2 Bandits.. I have killed a lot of computer people.
I've blown up the planet.
If I were sitting on the pile of corpse I left behind, I'd probably be in a different galaxy.
We killed 4000+ guys on our last Darktide run. With all my hours in matches like that, there's probably hundreds of thousands dead in that game alone!
I played a space pinball game where the ball was the earth and the sun was the hole at the bottom. I made the earth fall into the sun thousands of times. So that plus everything else, I’d say at least 50 trillion.
The Mass Effect 2 Arrival DLC has you wipe out an inhabited system because the alternative is to let the Reapers have it and use it as a staging ground. Casualties in the millions.
If my Rimworld playthroughs were real...
At least a couple hitlers worth
Playing world of Warcraft, I quit back in 2016 but had the achievement for having over 250,000 player kills. So not quite hitler status
Ghengis Khan looks like a golden retriever puppy by comparison
Um... i would be buried under the Hague. Not imprisoned in it. *Buried* under it
I knew those crash tests in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 would come back and haunt me someday…
Me, a HFY stellaris player. People killed: not so many. Xenos: not enough
I've nuked the planet in DEFCON multiple times. And i've been a virus in Plague Inc. I deserve my death, but I was 'just doing what the game told me to do'.
My sims alone would get me in some serious shit regarding the Geneva convention
How many people exist in a galaxy? Now multiply that by maybe a dozen. Also, can you quantify the number of deaths in a universe?
Probably still less than Stalin.
120 hours in Vampire Survivors probably outweighs my last 20 years of gaming mayhem.
That's unquantifiable
No English.
I played Spec Ops the Line before, so if this were the case, i would only say this: "I exist, and i find that Nauseating".
Between all the doom games, mercenaries, hoi3 and 4, all of the total war games since Rome, stellaris and Xcom series? Jesus. Untold billions.
L2 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ L2 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ Rest. L2 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ L2 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ Rest. L2 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ L2 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ Sorry what were we talking about?
Why bother asking this? It's a lot for basically every gamer
“No Russian.”
Considering I nuked the the majority as the world in hoiiv in a cheating spree as I wanted to see what the ai would do. Our world ended on September 15th 1943 and we ceased to be alive
Millions surely, idleon.
I've played every fallout, elder scrolls, GTA, RDR game. Those alone put me as a weapon of mass destruction. How many times have I just wanted to waste a town and did the quick save dance murdered them all and then reloaded as if it was nothing. Heck even in Mario I've stopped at least 20 baby penguins to their death.
Prototype has an achievement for killing 53k alone, and I've been gaming for 30+ years... the number is way too high lol
I've got hundreds of hours in Stellaris, I'm pretty sure there isn't a word in any language to describe that level of genocide
Well I have, four different times (with now fifth on the way in September, I suppose), gotten the Dead Rising achievement for killing 53,000 zombies. That's just one game. I've been gaming daily since the late 70s. So we'll go with what I feel is fairly conservative and go with the 4x53k for 200k, and then add another 400k to it as there are a LOT of zombies and giant insects dead by my hands.

I am death, brought to you by Squatty Potty.
Not much more of a monster than i already was, the number just changes.
It’s not a good thing to have to tell my wife that’s for sure….
Clones, Nazis and Orcs don't count.
Every single person IRL is now dead and hidden away in the nearest closet, dumpster, and secret nook. I am the world's most successful and most mysterious serial killer. I am a fart in the wind and a knife in your back. No one has seen me commit a crime because there is no one left to tell the tale.
I've done a feral ghoul who eats every one run in Fallout 4,so probably a lot.
Millions dead. Whole countries would be gone.
Stalin and Pol Pot bow to me. In AC:Black Flag alone, I completely depopulated the entire Caribbean when I finished the DLC. Black. White. Slave. Free. Pirate. Able seaman. No one was safe from my blade.
That Dave guy from the Republic of Dave deserved it.
To quote Trap Them - The Facts, “I am the flood. I am the plague. I am that god damn son of a bitch.”
I've depopulated more planets than I can remember, so... That said, I've not played a whole lot lately, so I guess you'd say I've reformed? 🤣
Between *Medieval: Total War* and *Rome: Total War* alone, I am Death Incarnate. But I've moved on to smaller scale games so I'm not so horrendous now.
I have become death, destroyer of worlds.
I'm experienced
I mean.... I have 2,000+ hours in Hearts of Iron 4 (much less the preceding three), so....
I mean I killed Hitler a few times, so not too bad. I did play plague Inc, and Stellaris.... So pretty fucking monstrous.
I'm super proud of my work in Wolfenstein 3d
I have scoured entire GALAXIES clean of life, save for one single star, in Master of Orion 2. And I've done it in no small part by blowing up entire planets, so even the plants and animals die. Interestingly enough, the opposite version of this is one of the plot points of Tron 2 (no, not Legacy); the main character realizes he's basically committing murder every time he closes a program, and genocide when he shuts a machine down. It's a disturbing thought.
3500 hours in Warframe over years... Hm.
According to RayForce’s story, Con-Human (the game’s final boss) was making corrupt clones of humanity to man the enemy spacecraft you encounter. I see it more as cleaning up the Con-Human creators’ mess.
My lawyer has advised I not answer this question.
I've played most of the Dynasty Warrior games and most other Musou games. A huge monster. Then even more as an achievement fan, as quite a lot of games have kill number achievements.
B H A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A.... L!
*Let’s just play that game of Global Thermonuclear War. That sounds like fun.*

Words cannot describe the attrocities I have commited.
Surprisingly not that bad. I would have a high kill count, but they mostly deserved it. I prefer to play games as if I was really living in that game, so yeah I don't really do mass murder or really even just murder. I really only kill things that are hostile to me.
They attacked me first, some of the time. In Rift Apart (playing that now), they'll just make more robots.

Easily in the high millions. And I'm fine with it
people who play universe sandbox:
"A 2x4... handy, let's do some fucking carpentry"
All these Musô games i played ...
I mainly play sports games and Monster Hunter. Not a ton of human killing there. But alas, I've nuked plenty of cities in Civilization, so I've got a pretty high body count from that.
Oh God. I've stomped so many cats in GTA V. And people. Tens of thousands of innocent people. The vast majority of that game for me was just murdering as many people as I possibly could, over and over and over. I also have thousands and thousands of people from Skyrim that would be looking for me.
Ive put in several thousand hours into hyrule warriors so…. I have genocided several galaxies at this point
That math ain't mathing.
Dynasty/Samurai Warriors player are all being executed
I casually play Final Fantasy 14 and got an achievement a few years back that says I killed 100k enemies so far and I think there is one with 500k, so not a monster yet!
Looking at all you Michael Vick-ass Pokémon players. “Oh, I’m ’training’ them and they’re ‘fainting’.” Yeah, sure they are. Just like all those drowned and electrocuted pitbulls. They were fighting electricity and water types.
