Line 56:
*** In ''Fallout3'' and ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', the majority of your enemies are some of the most despicable scum there is, which makes killing them very satisfying; but by far the most satisfying feeling is utterly annihilating Fiend or Legion encampments.
**** Or, in Fallout 3, utterly exterminating all of Paraside Falls (the main Slaver base). Even moreso if you bring [[Infinity+1 Sword|Fawkes]] with you.
* The ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'' series, with its ability to let you beat the enemies with a ridiculous amount of overkill. It is ''extremely'' satisfying to finish off a boss, or even a mook, with a [[Combo|chain of]] four [[Limit Break|Soul Crushes]]. ''[[Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume]]'' actually encourages you to beat already-dead enemies relentlessly to get better items.
* There are few things quite as cruelly satisfying as playing a game with a [[New Game+]] system and the [[Easy Levels, Hard Bosses|sort of setup]] where almost ''every'' boss is [[That One Boss]]. Just save before whatever boss made you bang your head against a wall the most the first time through and keep beating the crap out of them over and over in the [[Cherry Tapping|most]] [[One-Hit Kill|humiliating]] ways you can think of. Cue ''[[Last Scenario]]''.
* Remember all those Disney villains who gave you nightmares as a kid? The [[Kingdom Hearts]] games allow you to beat the stuffing out of them with a giant key.
Line 120:
** In ''Rome: Total War'', setting up a battle with maxed out Seleucid Armored Elephants, verses Roman Incendiary Pigs, on the Grassy Flatlands. Just send all your elephants right into the center of the Roman Swine, then sit back, relax, and watch flaming pigs fly.
* ''[[Supreme Commander]]''. "Add unit" cheat. 1000 Mercy guided missiles right over an enemy base. I've never seen fireworks so pretty.
* ''[[
** Or perhaps not rushing them, but waiting, teching up and steamrolling the crap out of them with some of the more epic units. (Carriers, Thors, Battlecruisers, etc.) Oh, and the occasional [[Nuke'Em|nuke]] of course.
*** Or even better than the ''occasional'' Nuke: build as many nuke silos/ghost academies as you can, fill them all with nukes, set them all to a control group so you can have them rebuilding and launching nonstop, send in a few dozen ghosts and turn the map into a nuclear wasteland.
