* ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice'' has the Dormouse and the March Hare who have gone under some serious BodyHorror. They barely react to that fact, simply asking for tea. The Dormouse is the extreme example, though.
** The Dormouse is arguably justified, given the implication that he's being drugged as well as undergone physical experiments. Of course, the Griffin also claims that their failure to comprehend their situations are because "they're blithering idiots".
* If it's an Creator/ArcSystemWorks FightingGame and the character is [[StoryBreakerPower broken from a narrative perspective]], there's a good chance at least one of them will have a "downed" sprite/animation where they appear to be actually relaxing, as if giving the impression of "Look at how much of a damn I give."

* Cultists in the original ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' have the tendency to announce "Oh! My spleen!" after being slammed by a Space Marine (as in, 7 feet of equal parts cybernetics, genetic engineering, and extreme prejudice, with power armor overlaying the whole mix) hard enough to land a good thirty feet away.
* In ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'', Ellie gets her [[EyeScream Eyeball gouged out with a screwdriver]] by Stross, [[SanitySlippage who has completely lost his marbles]]. Seconds later, Stross confronts Isaac, holding up the screwdriver with the eye still in it... Ellie then clubs him with a length of metal pipe, glares at Isaac, and tells him "You owe me an eye, you bastard!".
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'':
** Dante is {{impaled|WithExtremePrejudice}} with a sword (sometimes his own, sometimes not) on a regular basis, nearly OncePerEpisode. He barely flinches. In fact, he barely reacts to any damage '''at all'''. An example of this happens during one of the first cutscenes in ''VideoGame/{{Devil May Cry 3|DantesAwakening}}'' where several {{Mooks}} slash and skewer Dante with [[SinisterScythe scythes]]. Some of the scythe blades break off and are stuck in his body... yet he shrugs it off as he casually walks over to his jukebox to turn on some music! During his stroll, he picks up a slice of pizza and ''pulls a blade out of his chest without even flinching!'' [[ThemeMusicPowerUp He turns the music on]] and proceeds to slaughter the mooks effortlessly, at times even using the broken-off scythe blades sticking out of his arms to parry their attacks.
** Then there's Nico's reaction to Nero [[AnArmAndALeg getting his arm ripped off]] in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', where she asks him what happened in a tone that sounded like he backed the van through the garage door.
---> '''Nico:''' I leave you alone for two minutes! What the hell happened!?
* In ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', dwarves tend not to notice that they've caught on fire. This can be troublesome, as fire will eventually kill them, and they can easily spread it as they go about their business. When they ''do'' notice, very often this will take the form of them deciding they're a little tired and need a lie-down... on their [[HilarityEnsues flammable wooden bed...]] Or that they're awfully thirsty and would like a drink... from the [[StuffBlowingUp booze stockpile]].[[note]]Alcohol stopped blowing up years of updates ago, but it's so iconic of the game that many people haven't realized, or just [[FanonDiscontinuity ignore it]]. Also, a ‼dwarf‼ can still cause your entire booze stockpile to ''boil away'', which, in a fortress full of [[TheAlcoholic alcoholics]], is almost as bad.[[/note]]
* In ''VideoGame/FarCryPrimal'', Urki, the [[HalfWittedHillbilly Southern-accented ditzy]] caveman who protagonist Takkar TheBeastmaster has carried out a FetchQuest for, has had an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome when Takkar next visits his tent to find him standing over one of the [[BarbarianTribe Udam]] who broke into his tent and attacked. When Urki walks towards Takkar to proudly boast of beating the Udam to death with a BoulderBludgeon, [[StraightMan Takkar]] points out that the Udam [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stuck a spear in Urki before he died]]. Urki's only response to that? "Dang!" And then after Takkar [[WorstAid pulls the spear out]], Urki is more concerned about Takkar going on ''another'' FetchQuest than sewing up his stomach wound. Granted, he's somehow healed again by the time Takkar reunites with him, but still...
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'', there is a support conversation between Kieran and Rhys, who notices that Kieran has ''an axe lodged in his head.''
--->'''Kieran:''' Hey, Rhys! Nice day, isn't it.\\
'''Rhys:''' Oh, hello, Kier... Yaaaa! What happened to you!?\\
'''Kieran:''' Huh? What is it?\\
'''Rhys:''' Th-there's blood gushing down the side of your head!\\
'''Kieran:''' Hm? Why, so there is... Isn't that odd?\\
'''Rhys:''' Odd? Please, hold still! Just stay there! Let me get my heal staff.\\
'''Kieran:''' Heal staff? Bah! I'm fine. A scratch like this will heal itself! You should have seen the time I fought the Giant Scorpions of...
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', [[BloodKnight Henry]] [[FeelNoPain barely seems to notice]] when he's injured in battle. [[TheOjou Maribelle]] once finds him bleeding all over and almost freaks out, but he laughs it off.
** Also in ''Awakening'', at one point, Gregor is completely indifferent to an injury that, according to Olivia, left his bone exposed. As Olivia is patching him up, he calmly recounts an occasion where he [[AnArmAndALeg lost a leg]] and just sewed it back on.
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', the local IronButtmonkey Arthur is so used to getting lots of AmusingInjuries that he's seen talking about them as if they were just scratches.
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', at the end of the Blue Lions route, the defeated main antagonist throws a dagger at Dimitri, hitting him in the shoulder. After impaling his attacker on his spear, Dimitri simply pulls the dagger out, throws it away, and leaves with [[PlayerCharacter Byleth]], more affected emotionally by the fact that [[spoiler:Edelgard]] didn't take his offer of mercy.
* In ''VideoGame/ForHonor'', during the third mission of the Knights storyline, Apollyon is stabbed in the stomach with a massive knife by a Peacekeeper. She completely ignores the knife in her gut for the rest of the fight, and only nonchalantly pulls it free when the battle is over. Later on, when the warmonger hero was released, she would get a signature at the end of a match which called back to this scene, where she would casually pull a knife out of her side and toss it away.
* In ''VideoGame/HellgateLondon'', [[spoiler:the ending involves Murmur revealing his purpose in the storyline, and thanking you for your help.]] During the whole speech, however, he is literally torn apart with gaping graphic wounds.
* Xefros in ''VideoGame/{{Hiveswap}}'' spends quite a while idly chatting over IRC while being crushed nearly to death, including nonchalant references to passing out from blood loss. When Joey tells him to try not to move and to apply pressure to the bleeding, he tells her, in apparent seriousness, that this will be easy, since the rubble is both holding him immobile ''and'' applying plenty of pressure!
* At the end of ''VideoGame/HuntDownTheFreeman'', Mitchell chases down [[spoiler:Adam, who turns out to be the one who "fucked up (Mitchell's) face"]] and shoots him in the ankle with a revolver, fires four more shots into his abdomen, then finishes him off with a headshot. Thanks to the poor voice acting, [[spoiler:Adam]] merely groans in what sounds like mild discomfort at best.
* In ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', a survivor's response to friendly fire is usually just an irate "Quit shooting me!" scolding at most. The most fitting reactions, however, are the ones where a survivor can still quip a deadpan and sarcastic remark at the person's shooting abilities ''immediately after just getting shot''.
-->'''Nick:''' ''[after being shot point-blank with a shotgun]'' [[SarcasmMode Well thank you for ventilating my suit!]]
* While he does flinch, Crow from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel II'' claims that he was fine and that [[spoiler:the impalement ''to his heart'']] was just nothing more than a scratch. [[spoiler:He dies later but still manages to talk with Class VII, Sara, and Vita for a few more minutes before he passes away.]]
* Zaeed Massani of ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fame survived being ''shot in the head''. He put it down to his own inherent badassitude. Granted, he's on a team with Garrus Vakarian (who survived taking a fighter jet's missile to the face) and Commander Shepard (who, by the time of conversation, has just bounced back from ''being dead for two years''), so maybe a mere bullet doesn't ''deserve'' that much of a reaction.
* In ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'', [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe King chops Proto Man in half]]. His reaction? "It's just a scratch..." Justified in that he's a robot and has a shiny new pair of legs by the end of the game, but his reaction is still eyebrow-raisingly blasé.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** During the events of ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 4|GunsOfThePatriots}}'', resident DepravedBisexual Vamp gets shot in the head while on the phone. He then pirouettes on the spot throwing his phone into the air, catches it, finishes the conversation and hangs up, gives some orders to his troops, then finally says that he'll "be taking a nap" before collapsing. It should be noted that Vamp has a crazy powerful HealingFactor.
** In the first mission of ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', Raiden meets Jetstream Sam, who then proceeds to trounce him in a HopelessBossFight. During a cutscene after all your health runs out, Raiden gets [[EyeScream his left eye slashed out]] shortly before [[AnArmAndALeg losing an arm]]. His reaction? An irritated "[[OhNoNotAgain Shit! Not again!]]" Justified in that he has {{Nanomachines}} coursing through his body that prevent him from feeling pain. And because he's a cyborg.
** There are a lot of underreactions in ''Rising'', with bosses often talking about anything other than the fact that they've just been cut to shreds, and {{Mooks}} reacting to leg slices with almost funny lines.
--->'''Enemy:''' My legs! You fuck!\\
'''Enemy:''' I'll still kick your ass!
* In ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'', when the player takes a lot of damage, [[MissionControl Jody]] seems more annoyed (in a "You scratched the paint on my car!" sense) than worried about the fact that her boss, [[PresidentAction the President of the United States]], is about to die.
* Seems to be something of an odd recurring trend with the games of Creator/NetherrealmStudios. Both the later ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' games (starting with ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 MK9]]'') and ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'' feature super moves that explicitly show characters with broken bones or destroyed organs -- but given the balancing issues inherent to adding an injury system, apparently having your spine snapped in half is no object to doing seven backflips [[CriticalExistenceFailure (until the health bar runs out, anyway).]] In the case of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', one of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]'s intro animations sees him pull a knife that was stabbed into his jugular with the wound even staying there.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'':
** Upon being brutally sliced in half, {{Mooks}} will sometimes scream "My [[InherentlyFunnyWords spleen]]!" Another possible line is "I don't feel shit."
** The 51st ranked assassin from [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle the second game]] reacts to being decapitated by waiting silently for several minutes before giving a speech.
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' it's stated that [[SuperMode Mega]] Glalie's transformation breaks its jaw and forces it open, although it doesn't cause it any pain. Instead it's more annoyed that it can't eat properly while transformed.
* ''VideoGame/QuakeIV'': An overheard radio conversion (paraphrased)
-->''[Marine requests medical evac]''\\
'''Radio operator:''' Who is this? I can't get a read on your ID chip.\\
'''Marine:''' My chip was damaged.\\
'''Radio operator:''' What? those chips are implanted near your heart.\\
'''Marine:''' I know, I'm looking at it.
* The Baker clan from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7'' possess a HealingFactor that allows them a few moments of this; when patriarch Jack hacks his son Lucas's forearm off with a kitchen knife for [[DisproportionateRetribution throwing his food at the dinner table]], the latter's reaction is to whine "dammit, old man, [[OhNoNotAgain not again!]]", and a post-it note in the family's kitchen written by Jack reads "Where's my mower?!?" with, in smaller script, "Has anyone seen my leg?" in the corner.
* Agro, the horse from ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', could be counted. If she's hit with an exploding arrow, falls from a low cliff (which could permanently cripple a real horse), or gets shot by Basaran, the most she'll do is limp for a while -- and she'll even stop early if you jump on her back.
* Yuri Hyuga in the first ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' game had his arm sliced off by a minion. He doesn't flinch, instead he crushed the imp with his remaining hand, and just ''reattaches his own arm''.
* Somewhat of a running joke in ''VideoGame/SilentHill4''. Richard Braintree's first meeting with Henry has him falling off of at least a thirty-foot drop, to which his reaction is "Ouch! Dammit!" before promptly getting up and pointing a gun at Henry. The Gum Heads show just as little reaction to falling out of the sky, and later, near the end of the game, it's done again, [[spoiler:this time with Richard as a ghost, and the only one that can't fly or float around]].
* Creator/MorganFreeman is a secret boss in ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'', and reacts to any and all forms of damage inflicted on him with a quiet "Ow."
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
** Quoth the Spy: "I appear to have burst into flames./I do believe I am on fire." This is made only more funny by the Spy's third reaction being the complete opposite, panicked like all the others ("Fire, ''fire'', '''fire'''!"). As he's running around burning to death, he'll mix them. "I do believe I'm on fire. ...[[DelayedReaction FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!!!]]"
** Likewise, most of the Heavy's reactions to fire are suitably loud, except one which is just him saying "Ooh!" as if he stubbed his toe or something.
** "You call that breaking my spine? You RED team ladies wouldn't know how to break a spine if- (crack) [[SubvertedTrope AAAAAAHHHHH MY SPINE!!!]]"
** Because of the way the game assigns vocal responses, players can die with varying levels of noisiness... but it's hard not to chuckle a little at the Demoman's quiet, hissed "Oh, that smarts!" [[LudicrousGibs even as he's being blown into a dozen bloody pieces by a rocket.]] Given that DeathIsCheap though, this is more comical than morbid.
** The Soldier could be considered a variation on the trope; since [[NoIndoorVoice he says pretty much everything in the same deranged bellow]], it's hard to tell when he's shouting because he's been hit and when he's shouting because that's just the noise he makes when things happen.
** Near the end of the "Meet the Medic" video, the Scout steps out after having undergone extensive heart surgery (including, as it is revealed, accidentally having a live pigeon inserted) and cheerfully announces to his allies, "You would not ''believe''... how much this hurts."
** With the addition of [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Pyrovision]], any time a player is hurt (or even killed) all voice responses are replaced with laughter.
** The [[AllThereinTheManual comic]] ''[[http://www.teamfortress.com/tf01_ring_of_fired/#f=65 Ring of Fired]]'' includes Pyro cutting off Soldier's hand, and Soldier complaining to Miss Pauling in the manner of a child tattling about a sibling. Miss Pauling's response is just as nonchalant. Soldier even thanks the (very perturbed) veterinarian for sewing his hand back on ''with the hand that was cut off''. Later in ''Old Wounds'' it comes up once more, after having been subjected to some excruciating [[TheToothHurts tooth torture]] that actually made him scream, and he's quite happily showing off the fix during recovery:
--->'''Soldier:''' See? Good as new!\\
''[hand flops loosely, as if boneless]''\\
'''Soldier:''' Normally that is excruciating. Luckily all my body's pain receptors are busy in my mouth right now.
** Similarly, in ''Old Wounds'', Zhanna's response to having to cut off her own hand to escape is to comment that her thumb doesn't hurt anymore, which makes Soldier proud. Later on, when Heavy - her brother - sees her hand is missing, he simply nods at her explanation... and then notices she's wearing a necklace made of ears, which is the Soldier equivalent of an engagement ring, [[SkewedPriorities and then Heavy starts freaking out.]]
* In the BonusStage of ''VideoGame/TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight'', Mokou's reaction to being ''repeatedly killed and resurrected'' is "Ow, it hurts!". Thank you Mokou, we never would have known otherwise. This is hinted to be due to doing the same thing with Kaguya nearly every single day for ''several centuries'', which would certainly build one's tolerance for pain.
* Most people (including the player character) in ''VideoGame/TheTownWithNoName'' are simply annoyed by getting shot in the chest. They still fall over and die, however.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', the LargeHam Papyrus delivers one if he's [[ISurrenderSuckers betrayed]] and decapitated:
-->'''Papyrus:''' Alas, poor Papyrus! ''[Papyrus' body disintegrates]'' Well, at least I still have my head! ''[{{Beat}}] [Papyrus' head disintegrates]''
* In ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'', a certain character fails to realize that he has been fatally impaled on a fence spike after falling off a balcony, thinking he has only hurt his leg. [[spoiler:It's Ben.]]
* In ''VideoGame/WelcomeToBummertown'', Mayor Agnes has some kind of programming update seizure wherein she completely glitches out and her eyeballs turn glowing white. She claims she had an "itchy ear."

* Cultists in the original ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' have the tendency to announce "Oh! My spleen!" after being slammed by a Space Marine (as in, 7 feet of equal parts cybernetics, genetic engineering, and extreme prejudice, with power armor overlaying the whole mix) hard enough to land a good thirty feet away.
* In ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'', Ellie gets her [[EyeScream Eyeball gouged out with a screwdriver]] by Stross, [[SanitySlippage who has completely lost his marbles]]. Seconds later, Stross confronts Isaac, holding up the screwdriver with the eye still in it... Ellie then clubs him with a length of metal pipe, glares at Isaac, and tells him "You owe me an eye, you bastard!".
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'':
** Dante is {{impaled|WithExtremePrejudice}} with a sword (sometimes his own, sometimes not) on a regular basis, nearly OncePerEpisode. He barely flinches. In fact, he barely reacts to any damage '''at all'''. An example of this happens during one of the first cutscenes in ''VideoGame/{{Devil May Cry 3|DantesAwakening}}'' where several {{Mooks}} slash and skewer Dante with [[SinisterScythe scythes]]. Some of the scythe blades break off and are stuck in his body... yet he shrugs it off as he casually walks over to his jukebox to turn on some music! During his stroll, he picks up a slice of pizza and ''pulls a blade out of his chest without even flinching!'' [[ThemeMusicPowerUp He turns the music on]] and proceeds to slaughter the mooks effortlessly, at times even using the broken-off scythe blades sticking out of his arms to parry their attacks.
** Then there's Nico's reaction to Nero [[AnArmAndALeg getting his arm ripped off]] in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', where she asks him what happened in a tone that sounded like he backed the van through the garage door.
---> '''Nico:''' I leave you alone for two minutes! What the hell happened!?
* In ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', dwarves tend not to notice that they've caught on fire. This can be troublesome, as fire will eventually kill them, and they can easily spread it as they go about their business. When they ''do'' notice, very often this will take the form of them deciding they're a little tired and need a lie-down... on their [[HilarityEnsues flammable wooden bed...]] Or that they're awfully thirsty and would like a drink... from the [[StuffBlowingUp booze stockpile]].[[note]]Alcohol stopped blowing up years of updates ago, but it's so iconic of the game that many people haven't realized, or just [[FanonDiscontinuity ignore it]]. Also, a ‼dwarf‼ can still cause your entire booze stockpile to ''boil away'', which, in a fortress full of [[TheAlcoholic alcoholics]], is almost as bad.[[/note]]
* In ''VideoGame/FarCryPrimal'', Urki, the [[HalfWittedHillbilly Southern-accented ditzy]] caveman who protagonist Takkar TheBeastmaster has carried out a FetchQuest for, has had an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome when Takkar next visits his tent to find him standing over one of the [[BarbarianTribe Udam]] who broke into his tent and attacked. When Urki walks towards Takkar to proudly boast of beating the Udam to death with a BoulderBludgeon, [[StraightMan Takkar]] points out that the Udam [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stuck a spear in Urki before he died]]. Urki's only response to that? "Dang!" And then after Takkar [[WorstAid pulls the spear out]], Urki is more concerned about Takkar going on ''another'' FetchQuest than sewing up his stomach wound. Granted, he's somehow healed again by the time Takkar reunites with him, but still...
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'', there is a support conversation between Kieran and Rhys, who notices that Kieran has ''an axe lodged in his head.''
--->'''Kieran:''' Hey, Rhys! Nice day, isn't it.\\
'''Rhys:''' Oh, hello, Kier... Yaaaa! What happened to you!?\\
'''Kieran:''' Huh? What is it?\\
'''Rhys:''' Th-there's blood gushing down the side of your head!\\
'''Kieran:''' Hm? Why, so there is... Isn't that odd?\\
'''Rhys:''' Odd? Please, hold still! Just stay there! Let me get my heal staff.\\
'''Kieran:''' Heal staff? Bah! I'm fine. A scratch like this will heal itself! You should have seen the time I fought the Giant Scorpions of...
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', [[BloodKnight Henry]] [[FeelNoPain barely seems to notice]] when he's injured in battle. [[TheOjou Maribelle]] once finds him bleeding all over and almost freaks out, but he laughs it off.
** Also in ''Awakening'', at one point, Gregor is completely indifferent to an injury that, according to Olivia, left his bone exposed. As Olivia is patching him up, he calmly recounts an occasion where he [[AnArmAndALeg lost a leg]] and just sewed it back on.
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', the local IronButtmonkey Arthur is so used to getting lots of AmusingInjuries that he's seen talking about them as if they were just scratches.
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', at the end of the Blue Lions route, the defeated main antagonist throws a dagger at Dimitri, hitting him in the shoulder. After impaling his attacker on his spear, Dimitri simply pulls the dagger out, throws it away, and leaves with [[PlayerCharacter Byleth]], more affected emotionally by the fact that [[spoiler:Edelgard]] didn't take his offer of mercy.
* In ''VideoGame/ForHonor'', during the third mission of the Knights storyline, Apollyon is stabbed in the stomach with a massive knife by a Peacekeeper. She completely ignores the knife in her gut for the rest of the fight, and only nonchalantly pulls it free when the battle is over. Later on, when the warmonger hero was released, she would get a signature at the end of a match which called back to this scene, where she would casually pull a knife out of her side and toss it away.
* In ''VideoGame/HellgateLondon'', [[spoiler:the ending involves Murmur revealing his purpose in the storyline, and thanking you for your help.]] During the whole speech, however, he is literally torn apart with gaping graphic wounds.
* Xefros in ''VideoGame/{{Hiveswap}}'' spends quite a while idly chatting over IRC while being crushed nearly to death, including nonchalant references to passing out from blood loss. When Joey tells him to try not to move and to apply pressure to the bleeding, he tells her, in apparent seriousness, that this will be easy, since the rubble is both holding him immobile ''and'' applying plenty of pressure!
* At the end of ''VideoGame/HuntDownTheFreeman'', Mitchell chases down [[spoiler:Adam, who turns out to be the one who "fucked up (Mitchell's) face"]] and shoots him in the ankle with a revolver, fires four more shots into his abdomen, then finishes him off with a headshot. Thanks to the poor voice acting, [[spoiler:Adam]] merely groans in what sounds like mild discomfort at best.
* In ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', a survivor's response to friendly fire is usually just an irate "Quit shooting me!" scolding at most. The most fitting reactions, however, are the ones where a survivor can still quip a deadpan and sarcastic remark at the person's shooting abilities ''immediately after just getting shot''.
-->'''Nick:''' ''[after being shot point-blank with a shotgun]'' [[SarcasmMode Well thank you for ventilating my suit!]]
* While he does flinch, Crow from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel II'' claims that he was fine and that [[spoiler:the impalement ''to his heart'']] was just nothing more than a scratch. [[spoiler:He dies later but still manages to talk with Class VII, Sara, and Vita for a few more minutes before he passes away.]]
* Zaeed Massani of ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fame survived being ''shot in the head''. He put it down to his own inherent badassitude. Granted, he's on a team with Garrus Vakarian (who survived taking a fighter jet's missile to the face) and Commander Shepard (who, by the time of conversation, has just bounced back from ''being dead for two years''), so maybe a mere bullet doesn't ''deserve'' that much of a reaction.
* In ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'', [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe King chops Proto Man in half]]. His reaction? "It's just a scratch..." Justified in that he's a robot and has a shiny new pair of legs by the end of the game, but his reaction is still eyebrow-raisingly blasé.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** During the events of ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 4|GunsOfThePatriots}}'', resident DepravedBisexual Vamp gets shot in the head while on the phone. He then pirouettes on the spot throwing his phone into the air, catches it, finishes the conversation and hangs up, gives some orders to his troops, then finally says that he'll "be taking a nap" before collapsing. It should be noted that Vamp has a crazy powerful HealingFactor.
** In the first mission of ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', Raiden meets Jetstream Sam, who then proceeds to trounce him in a HopelessBossFight. During a cutscene after all your health runs out, Raiden gets [[EyeScream his left eye slashed out]] shortly before [[AnArmAndALeg losing an arm]]. His reaction? An irritated "[[OhNoNotAgain Shit! Not again!]]" Justified in that he has {{Nanomachines}} coursing through his body that prevent him from feeling pain. And because he's a cyborg.
** There are a lot of underreactions in ''Rising'', with bosses often talking about anything other than the fact that they've just been cut to shreds, and {{Mooks}} reacting to leg slices with almost funny lines.
--->'''Enemy:''' My legs! You fuck!\\
'''Enemy:''' I'll still kick your ass!
* In ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'', when the player takes a lot of damage, [[MissionControl Jody]] seems more annoyed (in a "You scratched the paint on my car!" sense) than worried about the fact that her boss, [[PresidentAction the President of the United States]], is about to die.
* Seems to be something of an odd recurring trend with the games of Creator/NetherrealmStudios. Both the later ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' games (starting with ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 MK9]]'') and ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'' feature super moves that explicitly show characters with broken bones or destroyed organs -- but given the balancing issues inherent to adding an injury system, apparently having your spine snapped in half is no object to doing seven backflips [[CriticalExistenceFailure (until the health bar runs out, anyway).]] In the case of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', one of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]'s intro animations sees him pull a knife that was stabbed into his jugular with the wound even staying there.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'':
** Upon being brutally sliced in half, {{Mooks}} will sometimes scream "My [[InherentlyFunnyWords spleen]]!" Another possible line is "I don't feel shit."
** The 51st ranked assassin from [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle the second game]] reacts to being decapitated by waiting silently for several minutes before giving a speech.
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' it's stated that [[SuperMode Mega]] Glalie's transformation breaks its jaw and forces it open, although it doesn't cause it any pain. Instead it's more annoyed that it can't eat properly while transformed.
* ''VideoGame/QuakeIV'': An overheard radio conversion (paraphrased)
-->''[Marine requests medical evac]''\\
'''Radio operator:''' Who is this? I can't get a read on your ID chip.\\
'''Marine:''' My chip was damaged.\\
'''Radio operator:''' What? those chips are implanted near your heart.\\
'''Marine:''' I know, I'm looking at it.
* The Baker clan from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7'' possess a HealingFactor that allows them a few moments of this; when patriarch Jack hacks his son Lucas's forearm off with a kitchen knife for [[DisproportionateRetribution throwing his food at the dinner table]], the latter's reaction is to whine "dammit, old man, [[OhNoNotAgain not again!]]", and a post-it note in the family's kitchen written by Jack reads "Where's my mower?!?" with, in smaller script, "Has anyone seen my leg?" in the corner.
* Agro, the horse from ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', could be counted. If she's hit with an exploding arrow, falls from a low cliff (which could permanently cripple a real horse), or gets shot by Basaran, the most she'll do is limp for a while -- and she'll even stop early if you jump on her back.
* Yuri Hyuga in the first ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' game had his arm sliced off by a minion. He doesn't flinch, instead he crushed the imp with his remaining hand, and just ''reattaches his own arm''.
* Somewhat of a running joke in ''VideoGame/SilentHill4''. Richard Braintree's first meeting with Henry has him falling off of at least a thirty-foot drop, to which his reaction is "Ouch! Dammit!" before promptly getting up and pointing a gun at Henry. The Gum Heads show just as little reaction to falling out of the sky, and later, near the end of the game, it's done again, [[spoiler:this time with Richard as a ghost, and the only one that can't fly or float around]].
* Creator/MorganFreeman is a secret boss in ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'', and reacts to any and all forms of damage inflicted on him with a quiet "Ow."
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
** Quoth the Spy: "I appear to have burst into flames./I do believe I am on fire." This is made only more funny by the Spy's third reaction being the complete opposite, panicked like all the others ("Fire, ''fire'', '''fire'''!"). As he's running around burning to death, he'll mix them. "I do believe I'm on fire. ...[[DelayedReaction FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!!!]]"
** Likewise, most of the Heavy's reactions to fire are suitably loud, except one which is just him saying "Ooh!" as if he stubbed his toe or something.
** "You call that breaking my spine? You RED team ladies wouldn't know how to break a spine if- (crack) [[SubvertedTrope AAAAAAHHHHH MY SPINE!!!]]"
** Because of the way the game assigns vocal responses, players can die with varying levels of noisiness... but it's hard not to chuckle a little at the Demoman's quiet, hissed "Oh, that smarts!" [[LudicrousGibs even as he's being blown into a dozen bloody pieces by a rocket.]] Given that DeathIsCheap though, this is more comical than morbid.
** The Soldier could be considered a variation on the trope; since [[NoIndoorVoice he says pretty much everything in the same deranged bellow]], it's hard to tell when he's shouting because he's been hit and when he's shouting because that's just the noise he makes when things happen.
** Near the end of the "Meet the Medic" video, the Scout steps out after having undergone extensive heart surgery (including, as it is revealed, accidentally having a live pigeon inserted) and cheerfully announces to his allies, "You would not ''believe''... how much this hurts."
** With the addition of [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Pyrovision]], any time a player is hurt (or even killed) all voice responses are replaced with laughter.
** The [[AllThereinTheManual comic]] ''[[http://www.teamfortress.com/tf01_ring_of_fired/#f=65 Ring of Fired]]'' includes Pyro cutting off Soldier's hand, and Soldier complaining to Miss Pauling in the manner of a child tattling about a sibling. Miss Pauling's response is just as nonchalant. Soldier even thanks the (very perturbed) veterinarian for sewing his hand back on ''with the hand that was cut off''. Later in ''Old Wounds'' it comes up once more, after having been subjected to some excruciating [[TheToothHurts tooth torture]] that actually made him scream, and he's quite happily showing off the fix during recovery:
--->'''Soldier:''' See? Good as new!\\
''[hand flops loosely, as if boneless]''\\
'''Soldier:''' Normally that is excruciating. Luckily all my body's pain receptors are busy in my mouth right now.
** Similarly, in ''Old Wounds'', Zhanna's response to having to cut off her own hand to escape is to comment that her thumb doesn't hurt anymore, which makes Soldier proud. Later on, when Heavy - her brother - sees her hand is missing, he simply nods at her explanation... and then notices she's wearing a necklace made of ears, which is the Soldier equivalent of an engagement ring, [[SkewedPriorities and then Heavy starts freaking out.]]
* In the BonusStage of ''VideoGame/TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight'', Mokou's reaction to being ''repeatedly killed and resurrected'' is "Ow, it hurts!". Thank you Mokou, we never would have known otherwise. This is hinted to be due to doing the same thing with Kaguya nearly every single day for ''several centuries'', which would certainly build one's tolerance for pain.
* Most people (including the player character) in ''VideoGame/TheTownWithNoName'' are simply annoyed by getting shot in the chest. They still fall over and die, however.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', the LargeHam Papyrus delivers one if he's [[ISurrenderSuckers betrayed]] and decapitated:
-->'''Papyrus:''' Alas, poor Papyrus! ''[Papyrus' body disintegrates]'' Well, at least I still have my head! ''[{{Beat}}] [Papyrus' head disintegrates]''
* In ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'', a certain character fails to realize that he has been fatally impaled on a fence spike after falling off a balcony, thinking he has only hurt his leg. [[spoiler:It's Ben.]]
* In ''VideoGame/WelcomeToBummertown'', Mayor Agnes has some kind of programming update seizure wherein she completely glitches out and her eyeballs turn glowing white. She claims she had an "itchy ear."
