During his last attempt to finish Snake, his body succumbed to the FOXDIE virus. … until the sequel when he and Ocelot became … actually you know what we’re not even gonna touch that.

A death as gruesome as it was satisfying, this was a full on statement for the game's overly violent tone. Protagonist's Wei's last fight with mob-boss Big Smile Lee ended in a literal bloodbath when he throws the Sun On Yee leader in a ice chipper. Yeah, like we said, gruesome. The crime boss was notorious for his excessive use of violence and torture, so to see him go the way he did earns him a well deserved spot.

It never got more crooked than the crooked police of Los Santos, although the definitive centerpiece of the unruliness was no other than Officer Tenpenny. Through extortion and blackmail, Tenpenny pulled the strings to the dirty doings of the city, exclusively using protagonist CJ as his personal pawn. In Tenpenny's effort to escape Los Santos, he's thwarted by CJ in a desperate car chase. Crashing and running over an overpass, the broken and battered Tenpenny suffers a slow death.

On top of his demise, it’s also a relief to see Ellie survive what was clearly a traumatic experience.

There's no room for mercy when it comes to protecting someone you care for, so it came to be a great pleasure to see this creep get done in. His name and origin are unknown for the duration of the game, but he appeared to be hellbent on getting revenge on Lee's group. When he abducts Clementine at the end of episode 4, Lee must find her in a rather disturbing hotel. Eventually Leed subdue him through a button mashing sequence, knocking him unconscious, though the final blow ends up coming from a rather shaken Clementine.

He leads a massacre against innocent civilians to start a war, He kidnapped the Russian President, and used his daughter to get his country to invade Europe, oh and it turns he was responsible for that nuke in the first Modern Warfare game, damn right this bastard deserves to die.
