End Cutscene MUST HOLD BLADDER

[Zeema]

It always seems to happen when im at the last cutscene of a game i really need to go to the toilet and you cant pause the cutscene. But you just want to know what happens and see the Climax to the end of a great game.

and then you rush to the toilet and think about the Climax on the toilet.

Have you ever held your bladder for a video game before? wether it be because of a end boss fight or a important part of the story have you done it?

This is EXACTLY why I always save the mug after I've drank up my coffee!

Just...one...more...turn...

I usually get bladder issues midway through an exiting level, holding it as long as possible so I can just finish this exiting bit (and several exiting bits after that)

Yeah, I can't count the number of times I've pissed my pants when I was younger, just because I wanted to see the scene through.

That was years ago though, I have a better control of my bladder now.

Many, many times. Though not usually at the end of the game.

When I used to play WoW, every raid night there'd be a boss where I'd be dancing about like a madman just willing the fight to be over asap. It has to be said that nothing keeps you on your toes quite like needing the loo.

Really had to go just as I completed MGS 2...missed half of the cutscene...who knew MGS games had long cutscenes...

Last boss in Persona4: "I'll just finish off this boss then go, that way I can watch the true ending without having to worry about it."
Kill boss.
"OH SHI- Auto-advance is still on!"

This actually happened the first time I got to the True ending. I was pretty pissed.(pun intended)

playing Final Fantasy.

Happens to me every time. I love the games that give you the option to pause

All the time, if I'm playing a good paced game I generally don't goto the bathroom until just before I goto sleep or until I have to leave the house/get food. Generally of the mind that if I do all the things that can int interrupt my gaming at the same time (food/bathroom/chores) then I don't have to worry about being interrupted for awhile.

I tried to read your post, but all I saw was "climax on the toilet."

 

[KarmaTheAlligator]

I usually forget about all body functions (save breathing, moving my fingers and using my head) when gaming, it's only when I stop that it hits me that I'm freezing, hungry, need to go to the toilet, and need sleep.

Hah! Same, I had to read it atleast 5 times before I could stop giggling and concentrate on the whole post

 

[Batfred]

Not quite, but I know what you mean. I always complete a Final Fantasy just a few minutes before I am meant to be leaving the house. Invariably, I will always be 20 minutes late!

 

[floppylobster]

I played Shadow of Colossus for many nights and I loved it. On the night I finally completed it there was a whole bunch of stuff going on outside and I had to go and check it out. I tried to keep watching but it just keep going and I couldn't stay. It really annoyed me because I loved the game but I never got to see the ending. I'll go back and play it again some day. Now that I think about it I could probably youtube it.

I don't get the bladder thing, but during plot-important moments i often have to deal with my mom shouting irritatingly and distractingly at me to pay attention/do my homework/ do something with my life.
Oh, worst part. Sometimes... The homework was already done.

 

[manythings]

I get it most days and just try to power through but if I know some actual plot is going to happen I'll sacrifice immersion to take a piss. I don't want to be distracted when the story is unfolding.

The last cut-scene/credits of Killzone 3, thank god I watched to the end of the credits or I wouldn't have seen... *spoilers imputed here to preserve story*

Let's just say... there will be a Killzone 4 and I would bet my house on it.

Happens to me all the damn time. As I usually also sit through the credits of a game I enjoyed, it is even worse.

Other variations on the theme of not being able to enjoy the end of a game:
- Someone calls during the end cutscene (happened to me two out of four times playing Mass Effect)
- My mother is at my door and has something of great importance to tell me
