Actions in Games That Made You Physically Uncomfortable.

[annoyinglizardvoice]

Playing as Imphy on 99 nights. She's the starting character and the one you need to use to get the hidden final boss, but she's the sort of arrogant racist halfwit that should be one of the early villains, not the main character.

 

[Eric Morales]

Dead Space 2- Eye poke machine, which is weird because most of the gore in that game doesn't carry much weight.

Spoiler: Dragon Age Origins/Awakening

-Killing Connor, not so much the act of killing a child, but the way his mother begs you not to kill him really got to me.
In Awakening, choosing to burn Amaranthine or leave your friends at the keep to die

Spoiler: Mass Effect1-3

-Leaving Ashley to die on Virmire
-The attack on the Normandy in ME2
-Seeing a woman (in my case Kelly Chambers) getting liquified in the Collector Base
-That teenage girl in the refugee camp who keeps asking if her parents have arrived yet.

Spoiler: Xenoblade Chronicles

Metal Face killing Fiora at the end of the Colony 9 attack main quest. I had to put the controller down and stop playing for a bit in order to stop my hands from shaking. She was a great character goddamn it!

 

[CleverCover]

ME2

Spoiler

Playing ME2, Zaeed's loyalty mission. Choosing the renegade option and leaving all those people to die, hearing their screams of terror and pain as they're being burned alive by the fire YOUR squadmate caused because he was an asshole and then at a certain point you hear an explosion...and then it just gets quiet...really really quiet.

Bioshock

Spoiler

Beating Andrew Ryan over the head with a golf club made me scream at the screen to "STOP YOU MORON. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? HE'S FUCKING UNARMED!" Didn't like that scene much.

Any game with romance...

I have trouble watching the sex scenes in games. I don't know why. I'm okay with regular porn. But I feel guilty watching two in-game characters go at it. I feel like an intruder watching them....

 

[Starik20X6]

I started to feel really bad while playing Shadow of the Colossus, thinking about how wrong it was to be picking fights with these majestic beasts who had no idea I even existed until I showed up one morning to kill them.

 

[Bvenged]

Yeah, I agree with your top spoiler, though not by as much as you've implied. More so of "what am I doing!!!!".

I gotta be honest, it's the sexual scenes in games. They always make me uncomfortable (not in that kind of way!).

Lets be honest, if I wanted to be aroused I'd use some other, more well known, methods such as having a good time with a girl (or in a more foreveralone.jpg method); but seeing sex or intense romance, or things of those calibre, in games is just an uncomfortable thing for me to watch.

Good relatable example here, it's as uncomfortable for me as watching the same kind of thing on TV with parents in the room, though that is not why I get uncomfortable as I game across the house to them and what goes on in the game is as justifiable as seeing it happen in a regular film.

Do I get uncomfortable in life experiences with these things? No. But for some reason in games, I do.

 

[Launcelot111]

As someone else mentioned, the final boss fight from Condemned is very brutal and makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable.

Also in Aliens Vs. Predator, the most recent one, the Xenomorphs have a finisher attack in which they grab someone from ehind and shove their tail upwards through them until it comes out of their mouth. That one always makes me feel unpleasant.
.

I'll grab someone from behind and shove my tail upwa... xD I'm childish, I know

EDIT: I think i have the wrong command for Spoiler tags, please help

Massive GEARS 3 spoiler beneath

{spoiler= Gears of War 3} Call me cheezy, but somehow the death of Dom had a little impact on me, even though i expected it, because people always sacrifise themselves at the end of a trilogy {/spoiler}

You're almost there with the spoilers, just use a [ instead of a {. It was written the other way because it would actually do the spoiler instead of showing the command if you just used the [. If I don't understand how to do something, I just use the quote feature and look at the commands someone else used, then just copy the format to use for my purposes.


OT: Aside from the many Fallout/Skyrim/Mass Effect examples shown which I agree with, I also always felt terrible killing the innocent little bunnies in Final Fantasy XII

 

[Risingblade]

For Dragon Age: Orgins, Killing Logain yourself. I couldn't bring myself to kill him in front of his daughter so I had Allistar do it

 

[Vault101]

while not an "action" per'se ...

in Mass effect 3 (endgame camp) you can hear a conversation where a medic is instructing a civilian over the radio in providing first aid for some guy who got his leg blown off

It was so painful to hear I actually had to get away...

Trust me, you heard the pleasant part if it's just about the guy needing first aid... what happens afterwards made even me sad, .'

jesus christ..I'll take your word for it...but that game just doesnt let up

 

[PinkiePyro]

many of the Daedric Quests in skyrim I cant help but feel like they are leading to somethin akin to the relese of H.p. lovecraftian monster


back in dragon age one the quest to gain the elves help

Spoiler

I felt really bad about clobbering them after i learned their story

 

[Sack of Cheese]

Spoiler: Dark souls

I accidentally killed Quelaag's sister in Dark souls.

I thought she was an illusive wall so I gave her two pokes with my halberd. I ended up googling it up because I thought something was off (I mean, when does wall give humanity?). She turned out to be such a sweet girl too :'(

It was eating me up for that whole playthrough.

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

For the longest time I believed Silent Hill to be the most atmospheric horror tile out there, but than I bought Rule Of Rose. It's probably the most unnerving unsettling experiences I've ever had with anything outside my nightmares. The characters and the world they inhabit looks off, feels off, and sounds off. Everything about the game feels as if something more sinister and vile is behind it, even after it "wraps up". I don't know how to properly explain it, because this isn't a game featuring grotesque monstrosities or even a particularly strong threat (Although you are as weak as a wet napkin).

 

[SajuukKhar]

For some reason killing the Colossi in Shadow of the colossus made me sad, most likely due to the music.

I almost couldn't kill some of the later ones because i felt bad for them.

 

[Fr]anc[is]

This isn't really a spoiler since it's early and obvious, but the first time I killed Dog in DA:O really hit me in the gut. My first guy was a human noble so I was stuck with him and appreciated that he didn't ***** at me when I did evil stuff. Then with my next guy I automatically did the evil thing and it was really depressing. All the times afterwards were much easier since I rarely use him and he constantly barks through all the camp conversations.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

Say what you will but...The airport scene in MW2.

It was just completely unnecessary and a blatant attempt at causing controvery. There's really no good reason to have it there. No, I'm not "forced" to shoot anyone but I am unable to stop it, which is just as bad.

Apart from that, the Duke Nukem "hive" scene. Made me almost physically sick. Those abortion jokes, the suggested rape...The robotic response Duke has when the twins buy it in that disgusting manner. Makes my spine tingle whenever I think about it. The moment that level was over I immediately turned off the game and repackaged it, demanding a full refund.

 

[bullet_sandw1ch]

Well you might want to say spoilers in the title. But the game I want to say it about a year old so if you haven't played it yet you are not going to. Killing Zeke at the end of Infamous 2 evil ending was Uncomfortable to say the least.

Reported for spoiling. Regardless of age you don't fucking spoil a game like that, it just makes you look like a prick.

OT: Strogg conversion in Quake 4.

but, you just spoiled quake 4. you are a hypocrite, sir.

 

[Saltarius]

After I finished Trouble on the Homefront in Fallout 3, I kinda was pissed at thee conclusion and smashed one guys head in on the way out. I sorta just stopped for a second once I had left and just...thought about the innocence lost, y'know?

 

[ChaplainOrion]

Watching Prototype in general, I didn't like the mass slaughter of innocent people in that game, put me out of my comfort zone there.

 

[bullet_sandw1ch]

uh, this is a little different, but my situation is not uncomfortable in the "oh, that must've hurt" way, but like the sexually tense way.
P.s, this is from catherine

Spoiler

when she is toying with vincent, hinting at some hardcore shit he did to her last night, and when she practically rapes him.

the whole game, i was like, " why dont i have two hot girls fighting over me?"

and no, im not some creep that fantasizes about video game characters.

 

[tobi the good boy]

The Molag Bal quest in Skyrim.

Anyone who enjoyed doing that quest is a sick fuck.

The person you were killing was a practitioner of another daedric lord, who's just as evil as Molag Bal, heck Boethiah made you kill all of her followers for shits and giggles.
