After playing the Witcher 3, I found out that Igni was my go-to for signs. I was wondering what other games have awesome fire physics and people-burning. I swear I'm not a pyromaniac.
Sick Burns in video games
@asilentprotagonist: Yes! The Far Cry series, I think 2 handled it best, is great! I sort of wish they'd just unhinge it and make the fire spread until it was put out, even if that would make the game nigh unplayable.
Red Dead had some real great fire physics, for a little fire is used in that game. I loved hogtying enemies, or not enemies, and dragging them through campfires.
I'm also not a pyromaniac.
Oh... I was hoping that this was going to be more along the lines of this...

Eh. I'll go with Far Cry 2 due to my limited experience with games that have extravagant fire tech.
Spec Ops: The Line.
This made me laugh. With the title being 'sicks burns' and then you mentioning that game and how messed up that part of it is.
Strife, Blood and DeathDrome all had pretty great fire weaponry.
Oh, and the original Command & Conquer - NOD's flame thrower units (and GDI's air strike) could set fire to trees, and on the maps with several trees close to each other, the fire could spread and would damage nearby units and structures. Not effective enough to be used as part of a strategy, but it still was pretty rad.
Total Annihilation could also do that, but maps with trees were pretty rare.
@hatking: IIRC, Far Cry 2 initially had unhinged-ass fire physics, but during playtesting they realized that once you set something on fire it would spread through the whole world and take out the Big Bad, given enough time. Likely apocryphal, dunno if that's backed up anywhere, but it's a funny idea, at least.
This is also not what I wanted from this thread, but since I'm already here, I'll say Borderlands 2. When you light the midgets on fire, they scream "I smell deeeeeeeliciousssss!". Gets me every time.
"Go fuck your selfie." from Life is Strange.
...Oh, shit, wait, fire physics? Uhh....
@thebrainninja: I heard that too, but I wasn't sure if it was something I imagined. If it is true, then they should be ashamed of themselves!
Seeing the full video of when that Jordanian pilot was executed with fire has kind of killed a lot of the joy I used to find in fire. That said, Killzone 2 had a good one.
Count me among the people who wandered into this topic wanting to see awesome insults.
In terms of actual fire, I have nothing to contribute.
@quid_pro_bono: I think I prefer "Katie twerks for god!" but "Go fuck your selfie" is pretty good too.
Title made me think about the sick burn in the Witcher 2 prologue, where you find a dead assassin in Assassins Creed garb, that missed a haybale after jumping from a tower.
@clairvoyantvibrations You're right, Kate twerks for God is awesome too. That game is awesome. I have to play the 3rd episode asap.
