Gaming Screw Ups You Loved

[Skiff_Manchester]

No this is not about terrible games that you have enjoyed. I'm talking about complete mess ups you have done while playing a game and thought they were spectacular or hilarious. My two examples both come from Resident Evil games.(Note: there will probably be some mild spoilers thrown in here from boss fights)

Resident Evil 4
I was showing my brother and a friend of mine that you could should fish in the lake where the first boss resides. I had just saved so I figured I could waste some ammo then just load my last save again. Having run out of rifle ammo I moved on to the dock and started picking away at the fish with my pistol when the giant salamander of the lake lept out of the water, smashed the dock and ate my stupid ass. It scared the crap out of all 3 of us.

Resident Evil 5
While fighting Jill and Wesker I had my friend distract Jill while I lead Wesker away down a corridor. I set up at the end of the corridor and aimed a rocket launcher down it as Wesker rounded the corner and came into view. Right as I fired my buddy tells me "Ummm...I don't see Jill any more." and right then Wesker side steps my rocket and Jill appears, catching said rocket with her face. Game Over. Awesome!

(Apologies if this topic has been done before, I sure didn't see it)

i had a somewhat thing happen like that in gears of war

on the train level at the end, the berserker is on the train with you, while i snuck past fast my friend lured it around and he did a roll onto my platform and i hit the button and we go "lolll bad troll, bye troll" and right as we say that it turns around going "HRUUUUUURRRR!" and the train does its explosion thing while we laugh away at the dumb berserker, but some fucking how, the thing does one last rampage and glitch flies back onto our platform and me and my friend scream "OH SHITTTT!" and do a side roll to barely dodge the thing and with the goofy cameras at the time the berserkers face was taking up a good 3/4 the screen super pissed off at us calling it a troll, we end up having to do the blow up tank part to get it off the fucking train.

in the end it was a damn good laugh but the possibility of that happening did not seem like it would happen.

I was attempting to show a friend how base-jump in Saint's Row 2. I got into my jet and flew to the highest point in the game. I jumped out and clipped the wing of my plane, sending me plummeting thousands of feet to my death.

I was playing multiplayer with a friend in the original Farcry. I was gunning him down in a hovercraft. He was really low on health so I decided to jump out a finish the job myself. So I jumped out of my vehicle and was promptly run down by my own hovercraft.

The time my friends and I were doing a dungeon in Guild Wars. We had gotten to a door, but forgot to get the key. It was late, and I was determined, so I auto-ran against the door for about 5 minutes while they went off to get the key.

And then I glitched through it and went to the next area with everyone.

Drove over a hill in Halo...straight into the barrel of a scorpion tank...

That did not end well. But it was hilarious.

I was playing Saints 2 with a friend, and we were doing Insurance Fraud. To speed things up, I grabbed a chopper and flew down to where he was waiting, at the challenge start. I landed as carefully as I could so we could fly the chopper to our destination and jump out of it for MASSIVE DAMAGE! So I landed it, hopped out and it just flew up into the air and flipped into the water with a really loud splash. We both just burst out laughing, it was so unexpected and weird.

A friend of mine were sitting at my computer playing Max Payne 2 in turns,a few years back.

So he got to a part where he died and then it was my turn to play. So I walk up to the door, that Max kicks in when you interact with it. So I say cockily to him "This is how you do it!". So Max kicks in the door and before Ive taken half a step through it im covered in a hail of bullets and die instantly at the end of my cocky comment. My friend laughed mockingly at me for half'n'hour after that.

T'was good fun for both of us because it was a funny situation.
