Awkward Moments in Video Games *SPOILERS*

[Purple]

What were some of the moments you found awkward in video games?

Here are some of mine.

Laughing scene in FFX
Massaging mini game in FFX-2
Snake and Eva's tryst at the end of MGS3 (mainly because my parents were watching)

What are yours?

 

[Max Payne]

Everything involving the shitty Meryl and Johnny romance in MGS4.

Should I tag the thread title for spoilers btw, so no one can BAAAAAWWW about being spoiled?

 

[Ⓐaron]

Yeah, tag it.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

Henry's "What the hell...?" line being said so nonchalantly in SH4.
Otacon's random emo when he sees the woman he had sex with once. BAWWWWWWW from MGS4.
"LAVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITZ" from Legend of Dragoon.
Anything with Ruto in Ocarina of Time.

Tag away.

Ugh. The proposal scene was most awkward

 

[DNA]

Every moment when having lady friends watching you play DOA.

 

[Max Payne]

Tag away.

Ugh. The proposal scene was most awkward

The wedding at the end of the game outright disgusted me tbh.

And Meryl's shoulders and arms suddenly becoming massive when she took her uniform off.

I agree with Ninria too. The whole Naomi thing was poorly handled imo anyway though.

 

[DNA]

DEM ARMS.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

Also: The entire concept of the ending battle of MGS4. It's really awesome and amazing when you listen to the music and you're playing it. But in the end, you're just a pair of old men beating each other up, and that's just weird.

 

[Max Payne]

Not only that, but they shrug off punches like nothing. Ocelot is like 75 years old ffs.

I love the scene and think it's the best part of the game though.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

A majority of the plot of Shana being the Moon Child in Legend of Dragoon is handled awfully imo.
Lita and Klein's romance in Atelier Iris just seems to be thrown in for the lulz.
All of Folklore.

 

[Vendel]

What were some of the moments you found awkward in video games?

Romancing all three women at once in BG2.

Hello awkward conversations!

 

[Frostwave]

"LAVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITZ" from Legend of Dragoon.

Hey I thought that entire game was an awkward moment.

Not saying I didn't love every minute of it, 'course.

 

[Max Payne]

Barret date. Awkward as hell.

 

[Frostwave]

Star Ocean 2 had a lot of awkward moments. The dialogue, man. Hilarious.

What dude, when in a sulky, jealous mood asks "Is there no need for me?"

The sentiment is normal, but the phrasing. Claude is so hoity-toity.

 

[Purple]

Dante saying that cringe worthy line to Trish in DMC.

The one with filling something with light.

 

[Max Payne]

pfffffhahhahahahahahah.

 

[Alex]

Every time a video game tries to be funny.

Pfft. Anachronox was funny.


HUMOR MOTHER FUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT?

 

[Alex]

Never played it, I don't even have a TV

 

[Vendel]

Never played it, I don't even have a TV

I'm not sure what one has to do with the other. But alrighty then.

 

[Alex]

Because if I don't have a Tv then I'm not likely to have much other technology around am I? I didn't think that needed saying.

*ahem*

You are the one that brought up games trying to be funny. I mentioned one genuinely funny game. You made some comment about TV's.

What exactly did I miss?

 

[Alex]

*TVs, plural.

The part where you need a TV to play video games, kind of an important part there.

Ever hear of a computer? You know that thing you are probably using right now.

Well way back when people could play games on them. And some of them were funny. So I'm sorry if my antiquated mind could not connect the lack of a TV with the inability to play a game.

Forgiveness please.
