when it comes to breaking the fourth
wall videogames can often be the most
creative meant for you are you talking
about there’s no one else here
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
fourth wall breaks in videogames
til blizzard and make a great action
figure
unlike film and TV because video games
require interaction breaking the fourth
wall can be a bit more creative
sometimes reaching outside the screen
itself we’re picking these based on a
combination of creativity and how it
connects to the gameplay wait wait wait
is that how the script goes number ten
ready for a shower Tomb Raider 2 so in
the final mission
all of a sudden bandits break into your
house to steal the dagger you just
obtained so after defeating them all
Lara decides to get ready for a shower
before she sees you
gently sink you soon enough fun fact
this scene is in reference to an elusive
nude coat that didn’t exist in the first
game with core design teasing the eager
fans wanting to see Lara in the buff
number nine
reset the danger room x-men Genesis
version taking place in the stage Mojo
crunch no relation to us here but after
defeating the boss of the level the game
instructs you to restart the computer
but there’s no switch in the level that
allows you to do this so what do you
have to do you have to restart your
Genesis but here’s the catch it has to
be a soft reset meaning if you hold the
reset button down too long you’ll end up
restarting your game and losing your
progress not the brightest decision
number eight pretty much non-existent
the Stanley parable a successful indie
delight this game has its narrator try
to tell the player what to do but if the
player ignores the narrator’s commands
he starts to take out his frustration on
the fourth wall do you see there’s
nothing here I haven’t even finished
building this section of the map because
you were never supposed to be here in
the first place eventually becoming so
fed up that he’ll load up minecraft and
then portal yes I don’t even know what
this game is but I loved it hang on I
thought we put this higher why is it
only at number eight eight eight wait is
that what that button does nothing to
pretend I didn’t know what’s going on
here number seven also pretty much
non-existent Kid Icarus Uprising this
game has a habit of constantly breaking
the fourth wall thanks to its quirky
dialogue and it happens right from the
start but before we get started there’s
something I’ve been meaning to ask you
and what’s that
who is this Icarus character this game
is named after can I meet him um
actually no this one is loaded with
instances of fourth wall breaks from
complaining about its own game mechanics
yes I can’t just run past all the
enemies darn you balanced gameplay too
even referencing another game universe
altogether
you know tomatoes looking over our
little metro
right there mind you the brakes do get a
bit repetitive after a while but it
still works hard for its spot at number
seven yeah but this place is so huge we
even a loading screen back number six
calling the developer hotline monkey
island too lechuck’s revenge remember
kids if you’re under 18 ask your parents
before calling the monkey island series
is also renowned for its fourth wall
breaks even going so far as to try a
joke that confused players so badly they
thought the game was broken known as the
infamous stump joke but the second
game’s most memorable moment comes when
guy brush is lost in the woods on dinky
island and decides to call the help
hotline from the developer LucasArts
Lucasfilm games headline Chester
speaking you remember that failed stump
joke we mentioned you can even ask them
about that who thought up that dumb
stump joke I am tired of hearing about
that damn stump do you have any idea how
many calls I get a day about that don’t
ask me about it again number five the
game’s locked up Conker’s Bad Fur Day
the n64 is last hit game ends with a
final battle against a xenomorph from
aliens and just as the battle hits its
climax um hello if there are any
software engineers that can hear me
guess that hide something in alright
yeah hello yes what you’re looking at
here is the game’s protagonist conker
blackmailing the games software
engineers into giving him a matrix like
arsenal oh yeah that could do it
huh the black and you thought game
reviewers were harsh about bugs it
freezes
Oh bro comer I think God what are you
doing
get up number four all about Deadpool
Deadpool yes you can’t have a list about
the best fourth wall breaks without
mentioning the Merc with a mouth maybe
we shouldn’t have written the proposal
in crayon from constantly chatting to
his narrator having a cellphone call
with his voice actor and rewriting his
own script Deadpool is painfully aware
of the fourth wall at all times see once
again our explosive personality wins the
day high-five
Oh high-fives where voices in our head
the reason why Deadpool is at number one
is because his antics in this game get
really old quickly and become less and
less creative as it wears on rag too
darn near killed him number three the
hallucinatory middle stick Batman Arkham
Asylum
Batman’s talk to Emma says scarecrow
really knows how to mess with someone’s
mind and in the first Arkham game he
really pushes the boundaries of crazy
making the player think the game has
crashed and restarted
but this time Batman and the Joker’s
roles have been reversed the crazy dream
ends up with Joker shooting Batman
pushing a fake game over let’s start the
party with a black
oh you were supposed to use the middle
stick you mean on an n64 controller
number two Psycho Mantis Metal Gear
Solid metal gear solid as a whole is
once again a franchise that frequently
breaks the fourth wall you see the disc
label – ah no huh
oh wait we’re on PlayStation 3 but the
most iconic breaking moment comes from
Psycho Mantis in the first game in this
scene the guy will read your memory card
and tell you what games you’ve been
playing you seem to like imagine
yourself at don’t you and also
demonstrates his psychic abilities by
making your controller vibrate Racha
khana oh and the kicker to defeat him
you have to unplug your controller and
plug it in to the second player port
before we get to the top spot let’s take
a look at some honorable mentions
wait wait this isn’t right I mean we did
this already
for the end of the world spell press
control uh delete I have been chosen by
the big metal hand in the sky the rest
is up to you this meant what we’s
desmond number one sanity effects
eternal darkness sanity’s requiem
believe it or not the most creative use
of breaking the fourth wall we’ve seen
hasn’t come from any humor but rather
from psychological horror
throughout the game if your sanity bar
runs too low
the game starts to distort reality
making you think you’re sitting on your
remote and turning the volume making you
think you accidentally deleted your save
files and even bringing up the infamous
blue screen of death sheer creativity
alone easily earns this game the top
spot there are times when insanity days
hold and nothing seems right do you
agree with our list wonder pink I guess
not well for more shattering top 10s
published every day be sure to stop
pushing that 8th button eight eight and
