What video games have a canonical death system? What I mean is that every time the player fails it's canon within the game. Only one I can think of off the top of my head is portal.

Planescape Torment.
Most games with a permadeath system of some sorts. Rogue Legacy comes to mind in particular.
Bioshock had those stupid vita-chambers.
Original Prey. Though it's so fucking painfully retarded it boggles the mind.

Shadow of Mordor good for it, how time passes in Mordor while you're dead and the Orcs and captains react to you being unkillable.

In Shadow of the Colossus you respawn asleep at the nearest shrine if i remember right, it's cool to imagine the battle where you died was just a prophetic dream Wander was having.

Monkey Island 2 (the majority of the game) and Prince of Persia: SoT both have the protagonist going "no, I didn't die, I told it wrong".

I think he's talking about Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter, which is sort of cult-famous for that mechanic

Baroque may be similar; I often forget that was on PS2. I have both of these games but have never really tried either. Should I?

Nobody dies in Assassin's Creed, except for the future-time sequences

In fact literally nothing happens in that game except for the dumb future-time segments. Canonically.

May sound cringey but it's a pun you don't really understand until you read it.

The maincharacter of LN's name is Kiriya Keiji and get's the title "Killer Cage" from amerifats. Thus the title turns into "All you need is Kill (Kiriya)"
>>
>>379282409
I heard all the players are cloned by horzine, which isn't that much of a stretch considering you're fighting clones. It might be hinted at by the trader or something, all I know is she acknowledges you dying.
>>
E.Y.E. cmon someone post a webm.
>>
>>379285376
That is still awful, and does not really even work because the japanese pronounciation of the word "Kill" does not sound like "Kiriya". The book may be amazing, but the title is awful and the pun is terrible too.

Each time you die you then play as a new member of the family and have new traits rolled.

I understand that you fucking drooling retard. That does not make the name absolutely fucking stupid.
>>
some of these don't work in the sense that dying and being reborn/cloned/rerolled into a different character somehow lets you have access to the previous character's memories
I mean in the EoT movie, PS:T, Bioshock, Dark Souls and EYE, he's still the same person so he remembers what killed him (and the player) and could plan ahead from that.
In other games were dying means you have to start over or you lose the character and get a different one, when you get to the part that killed the previous character, you (the player) and your new character somehow already knows about the old one's death and avoid it.

>>
>>379287145
>It's literally subjective.
No, stupid is normative category, not subjective. And it's stupid because it sounds awkward as fuck, particularly because it's grammatically incorrect, meaningless, sounds edgy, contains a needless allusion to a song that has no relevance to anything, and generally just sounds like something somebody who does not really understand english would say to call his fan-fiction.

And again: I'm entirely open to believe that the book is actually good. I'm talking purely about the title. Which is really damn stupid.

So everything edgy is stupid to you? I'm not a fan of edgy too but some people liking it means that it's subjective.

Yeah right, it's only canonical if when you die you stop playing the game and also every other game in the series forever.
>>
>>379288001

It's grammatically incorrect because kill is a verb. It would be fine if it were, "all you need is *to* kill," but because they skip that "to" it makes the sentence into nonsense.
