Disturbing details in games

[Sable Gear]

If you poke around in the Metroid Prime games there's a lot of interesting creepy or sad bits to be found. Many of them are in Echoes, if you take the time to read the Keybearer lore or the log entries on the other Luminoth corpses lying around.

One of my favourite little disturbing segments in in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. If you do Vaermina's Daedric quest, you get to navigate the nightmare-scape of some necromancer she doesn't like. One room in the dungeon is just a vista that looks out on to a black void full of hung corpses; some mutilated, some on fire, just hanging around for your enjoyment.

Another is the good ol' Shadow Temple from Ocarina of Time. Not only are a number of the rooms pretty explicitly torture chambers, but some of the early rooms are walled and floored with...well...

Have to say, my favourite example of this sort of thing is in Fallout 3.

Somewhere in the maze-like ruins of the Capitol City is a relatively intact town house you can explore, complete with a still-functioning Mr. Handy housekeeper-robot which can be controlled from a nearby terminal. Just for the hell of it, I had the robot say goodnight to the family's kids. I followed it upstairs, where it entered a small room I had missed - and proceeded to read a strange and somewhat creepy poem to a little skeleton in a bunk bed.

Then, it cheerfully said 'Good night, now!' or something similar, and went back downstairs.

Speaking of Elder Scrolls:
The lighthouse basement in Oblivion...

1. Plays Dark Souls a bunch.
2. Drains the ruins of New Londo
3. Enters ruins of New Londo
4. Realizes is walking on A LITERAL MOUNTAIN OF WATERLOGGED CORPSES

And that's relatively lightweight stuff. Dark Souls gets morbidly dark at quite a few points - and in a lot of cases, you only realize it because you caught some seemingly inconsequential piece of fluff about the lore through some random item description. God damn that game is depressing.
And so very, very beautiful.

Has anyone mentioned any of the Legend of Zelda games yet? That series is DARK!

In Majora's Mask, every time you reverse time, you are condemning that present that you left to their doom, think about that, how many times do you have to reverse time in that game? Each time you do, a world is doomed to die. Skull Kid rips the life force from a deku that just so happened to be in the area just so he can play a sick joke on Link. Nothing you do in Majora's Mask really matters because you'll just reverse everything when you go back in time.

In A Link to The Past, in the start of the game, you are awakened by Zelda's voice (in your head) and Link's uncle leaves to go save her, now assuming Link's uncle is the only family he's ever known, Link finds his uncle dying in the depths of the castle and is then thrust upon with the duty to save the land of Hyrule. Also in the Link To The Past timeline, the Zoras some how became horribly mutated and are basically monsters where as once they were beautiful. Whomsoever travels into the golden land (Dark world or other world) where the Triforce is kept, will be changed forever and never return to see their families and loved ones again. An old man at the bar in the town talks of his son and how his son loved to play the flute, and says how he would love to hear his son's song one last time. You find his son in the dark world transformed into a fox and when you find his flute for him he asks you to play it for him one last time because he can feel himself slipping away, after you play it he is transformed again into a form of tree, never again to play his flute or see his father ever again. You go to his father and play HIM the flute and same thing, he will never see his son again, never be able to hug him or hear him play music. I'll end it for now with this, I'm going to say Link (in the series) is in his childhood years or teens, imagine what it must be like for him having to go through all that, imagine the nightmares he would have.

A particularly sad and creepy one in Arkham City is Harley's pregnancy test. Finding it before the HQR dlc and you can see the result is positive. After the DLC, however, the result changed. Which can either mean a false positive, a miscarriage or that she had an abortion.

Considering the ending of the main game, I would assume she aborted one way or another. I don't think she was far enough along to have miscarried based on her figure in the main game vs in the DLC.

People have talked about Pokemon on here so I'll throw in mine: I don't think anybody has mentioned Honedge which, according to the Pokedex (from Pokemon Y) "If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps its blue sash around the person's arm and drains their life energy completely"

In X, the entry is thus: "Apparently, this Pokemon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force."

Not the most disturbing entry but it just goes to show how much death happens in the background of Pokemon...and indeed how many Pokemon seem to be made from humans and/or children.

An old man at the bar in the town talks of his son and how his son loved to play the flute, and says how he would love to hear his son's song one last time. You find his son in the dark world transformed into a fox and when you find his flute for him he asks you to play it for him one last time because he can feel himself slipping away, after you play it he is transformed again into a form of tree, never again to play his flute or see his father ever again.

Link's uncle survives -- you can see him standing with Link in the end cinematic outside their home.

The flute boy is also returned to human form and is seen playing the flute in the grove to his father and some wildlife.

As for the Zora; they're supposedly different kinds of Zora, the Zora in later games are the "sea Zora" (despite often being in lakes) but the ones in LTTP are river Zora.

I was playing Fallout 3 and wiped out an Enclave outpost. Upon checking the terminal I found that they had been enticing travellers with pure water. They then give them a test and if they fail this 'purity' test they were killed by someone with a flamer to 'save resources'. In the trailer behind are 2 charred corpses reaching for a bottle of water.

This is why Fallout 3 is my favourite game of all time. The little details.

P.S. Listen to the Super Mutants talking before you splatter their brains across a wall. They are actually very tragic. My favourite is one saying how he almost remembers who he was but, in a pained voice, states how it's just out of reach.

The ending of Mother 3! A large part of Mother 3 is already incredible sad but there are some disturbing parts at the end. Especially what happens to a certain character. I can't really go into anymore details without spoiling, so heads up. Play the game first.

Seriously, play the game first, it is that good.

Negative Man! He is a super weak enemy later in the game that barely attacks the player and says stuff like " "Life is but a moment, a meaningless grain of sand" and "I'm nothing but a worthless protoplasm".


or (actual spoiler coming up)

A character getting trapped in a super safe container for all eternity, that will keep them alive forever yet never let them leave. There are other disturbing parts after regarding the whole world but you either know what it is already or need to play it.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Games like Bioshock, when we're shown glimpses of the city's former glory through all the decay.

Also Spec Ops the Line. The whole game.

 

[Breccia]

Also from Skyrim, there's a point on the beach somewhere where you find a blanket, some bread, flowers, bottle of wine, an Amulet of Dibella...and a lot of bloodstains. No bodies, no survivors. That kinda got to me.

Skyrim's world is filled with more poison than New Jersey

Hey, don't be like that. I've been to Jersey plenty of times and I've nev...urgh...hek...*thud*

 

[Zen Bard]

Fable. Demon. Doors. Seriously half of them are filled with skeletons. Torture equipment, Or worse. But two that stand out are terry cotters cry and the one just before bloodstone. Where you walk in to a pretty snow screen with lamps and a house. All nice an quaint until you step in the house and thee whole place shifts to a run Down shack full of skeletons and discarded weapons. And the lamps at now cages filled with bodies. What the fuck?

Aaaah...that was "Winterlodge". Yeah, that was twisted and freaky enough for me to remember the name.

There are also torture implements and a headsman's chopping block upstairs.

Still gives me the willies...

I probably shouldn't post a pic of it. I can recall a few games where you fight a giant hideous boss monster with bare breasts. One happens to be American McGee's Alice. If you've seen Apocalypse Zero, then you can just imagine. But that's probably not the kind of disturbing detail you meant.

There's a popular fan theory that pictures on a wall in Portal 2 implicate that GlaDos crammed living people into companion cubes. There's also the one that Mario is a mass murderer because every brick he crushes used to be a living being.

Well, if you want to talk nudity as disturbing, PLEASE look no further than the final boss of Dante's Inferno. What bothered me most wasn't that Satan was so tall I came up to his knee, or that his sword was bigger than I was . . . it was that the whole fight he runs around naked with a suprisingly hi-def GIANT HARRY COCK swinging around between his legs, I mean really . . . it's not like it's shaded funny so it kind of looks like it has hair, no it has billowing fur all over it and it in no way looks like a bad resolution leg from shitty devs. No, it's a very unsettlingly clear hair covered dick that's about as big around as your character's chest. Just imagine if that's the case . . . what REALLY happens if Dante loses that fight? I mean he's in hell, so even if he does die his soul isn't exactly going to pop out of him and float away.

Also, yes, you're welcome for the nightmares.
