cringe-worthy moments in video games –
this house is dangerous
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’ll
be looking at times the scenes and video
games were just played embarrassing to
watch keep in mind that some of these
moments aren’t just bullet prints but
also spoilers I don’t know what would
have happened if you hadn’t come along
number ten random train sex Fahrenheit
aka Indigo Prophecy
we all knew that our two protagonists
would end up in some kind of
relationship sooner or later but boy was
this conclusion more force than Lucas’s
hallucination after discovering the
truth about the Oracle the indigo child
and how the majority of humanity is
going to be wiped out Carla and Lucas
reconcile and an abandoned train before
the final battle less than a minute
later they’re both declaring their love
with a scene that looks like something
out of a Harlequin romance novel
number nine paying respects called duty
advanced warfare and sorry Mitchell will
was one of our best what’s that one
thing that can take you right out of a
supposedly deeply emotional scene if you
guessed QuickTime events you’re right
after losing a friend during combat Jack
Mitchell attends their funeral where you
can imagine the atmosphere is rather
somber but and it all becomes a big joke
when the players are prompted to press a
specific button in order to show their
respect not only business break the
immersive nature of a narrative but it’s
so ludicrously funny that its new
surprised at the internet tourists a
shred
number eight iris is death Mega Man X or
iris iris Oh awful English dubbing we’ll
never get tired of you especially when
you keep giving us beautifully horrible
moments like this one okay that’s wrong
the combat characterization and overall
story makes this an impressive entry in
the franchise it just so happens that
zeros voice was dubbed so poorly then
what could have been a powerful death
scene has us ultimately bursting at the
gut while trying to cover our ears to be
fair iris doesn’t really get off
scot-free either with both of notches
voices making us wish she would just
bite the dust already yes I know but I
wanted to believe it number seven the
hella sweet dialogue fam life is strange
plus she’s a smartass like you we would
all be hella best friends forever Chloe
price is a badass tortured souls
immediately drew us in with her dry wit
punkish persona is very well-developed
romance slash friendship with max
Caulfield however her use of the word
hella got old very very fast hell I
guess the game eventually turns this
trope on its head when max alters time
but for a fair while pretty much
everything was Heller this hell of that
and hella everything in between
we love you Chloe but you need to come
up with a way less cringe inducing
phrase you’re too cool for that
it is hella cold out here Helen I hate
that word no from number 6
like Devil May Cry my mother risked her
life for me and now you too
santé such a beast that he can pretty
much get away with saying anything and
still be the epitome of awesome after
all there are very few half demons with
so much flag that they can brush off
getting impaled unfortunately there is a
limit to what we can look past with this
little monologue taking the cake
now I’m Hugh Patricia’s supposed death
Daunte born sir
and in a powerful burst of
uncharacteristic emotion in pain he
cries out how he should have been the
one to save her soul which concludes
with this now legendary pray want to
tell your Dark Soul with live
number five every spoken line resident
evil’ well I’m glad you’re alright don’t
go out alone yes but while it might have
helped pioneer the survival horror genre
the English voice acting in this game is
infamous for being so poor that it’s
nothing short of laughable with all of
the series and horrifying things going
down in often deal like the characters
are far too casual about the whole
situation
Chris toss it it would have been easy to
blame the terrible writing but clearly
the voice actors couldn’t have cared
less either an otherwise landmark game
the terrible dialogue has almost become
endearing almost that was close
thanks Barry don’t mention it what a
monster number four undersea musical
Kingdom Hearts – you thought the gummi
ships were weird
get a load of this yep this really is
happening so if you want to continue you
best learn to shake those fins to the
beat friend we can appreciate the
developers wanting to change things up a
bit
but with the fate of so many worlds on
the line including that of your love
interest you would have thought that
Sora wouldn’t care a bit more about you
know getting a move on than having a
duet with Ariel um
the whole thing feels really out of
place and exit quite hard to justify to
your friends why you think that Kingdom
Hearts is kind of clean number three
worst sex scenes ever right to health
retribution sex in video games has
actually come a long way over the years
sometimes it’s unnecessary
sometimes it’s crude other times it’s
masterfully woven into the story to
further character development and then
there’s this citation
aside from being a travesty of a game in
and of itself the sex scenes in ride to
hell are so poorly executed that it’s
more like watching two life-sized fully
clothed dolls rubbing against each other
with some cheesy music blaring in the
background of course there’s also the
fact that some of these sessions take
place moments after you’ve killed a
bunch of goons or have saved the ladies
themselves from being sexually assaulted
so yeah that’s just weird
[Music]
number two Titus’s laughs Final Fantasy
10 the distance weird next try laughing
out loud
we know the intention behind the scene
was to have a sweet interaction between
Tidus and Yuna we know the fans of the
series talked about it to death we know
that it’s an overused trope cemented for
the ages but come on there’s really no
escaping just how obnoxious this laugh
is right going on for way longer than it
should what we can do is just kind of
clench up as our protagonist lets loose
a laugh that was nothing short of
painful number one Elise
kisses sonic sonic the hedghog 2006 okay
not emerald gems of miracles please heed
my call as if this game wasn’t enough of
a crime with its insane amount of
glitches bugs perfect storytelling and
general lack of a reason to exist the
climax greeted us with something we
never ever wanted to see Sonic the
Hedgehog locking lips with a 17 year old
human princess what the hell
it had been awkwardly hinted at that’s a
relationship between these two was
getting uncomfortably close and then
this whole scene arrived and it feels
like selling out a fanfiction the bad
kind of fanfiction we all knew that the
franchise had been kind of in a tailspin
but really Sega really do you agree with
