I think the bit in Amnesia: Dark Descent where Daniel gets to the torture rooms. Especially the one where the girl got her shoulders snapped in half. I shuddered and felt a little sadistic for even playing the game at that moment xD

Prince of Persia (2008)'s ending.
that game pisses me off. I've never felt so betrayed by a game character before in my life.
the whole game you are collecting these light orbs to save this magic tree that is used to seal evil so it can never escape. The girl partner is connected by some curse thing related to the tree, so once you save the tree the girl dies, so the prince kills the tree, saves the girl and release this horrible evil onto the world. The End.

Mostly because it is heavily influenced by David Lynchs "Twin Peaks". They probably saw that old show and thought, "Hey, let's make this even WEIRDER!"mikey7339 said:
Morrowind, playing a Total Conversion. At this point I had gotten into the habit of simply clicking through everything and not paying any attention to what people said. After the screen faded in and out of black, I found that I had slept with a Prostitute and contracted an STI. Needless to say, from then on I always read what people said to me quite thoroughly.
And then there is every single time I play Red Dead Redemption with my Friends. I have the nickname of 'Kenny' on it for my numerous deaths. One time me and a friend were standing at the bottom of a cliff playing Highwaymen, we wait for a carriage, then we'd shot the riders and take it. A Bear fell from above us, killed me instantly, and ignored my friend, before walking off. This happened a second time with a Cougar.

On topic - Prince of Persia (2009) when you let all the evil you just spent the game sealing loose again... because the hot girl willingly died to do so
Prototype - discovering the virus outbreak is all your fault and that Alex Mercer is already dead

No, no. You and I are in agreement there. The whole time the scene was playing out, I waited for Jackie to shake The Darkness off, pull a gun, and get all Big Damn Hero on that greasy pig for daring to lay a hand on my Jenny. I waited in vain.
One more reason this game pulls the love interest off better than Fable, specifically Fable 2. The key to a good narrative? Show, don't tell. Lucien telling me he killed my family has little to no effect on me, especially considering how unsubtle the game was about telling me how much I loved them earlier. "HEY REMEMBER THAT FAMILY THAT YOU LOVE SO MUCH BECAUSE WE TOLD YOU SO? WELL THIS GUY KILLED THEM! BETCHA FEEL REAL SAD NOW DON'T YOU?" No, Fable, I don't, and the only reason I'm picking the save the family option is to get my dog back, because he at least found buried treasure. There are always more whores in the ocean for my female! character to marry.
Jenny, on the other hand? I was almost nauseous when that gun went off, and hearing the fear in The Darkness's voice when Jackie turns the gun that killed Jenny on himself was deeply satisfying for all the wrong reasons. Oh yeah, and when the time came to murder that fat fuck at the end of the game? I let him squirm a bit. Waited until he had that gun in his hand before I put a round in his skull, right where he put one in Jenny's. Payback's a *****, ain't it? And in the end, I wanted that goodbye to last forever. Hearing Jackie begging Jenny not to go, like a little kid, was heartbreaking. Jackie, this vicious murderer with a 300-plus body count, and he's begging.
Not bad for a five-dollar game.

Vanquish. The first time an ARGUS robot transformed. I'd killed a giant 4 legged tank, I turned away to leave through the door I knew would unlock. After about 30 secs nothing happened so I turned back around and the tank had turned into a robot that was channeling Megatron. Shocked but it was awesome.
Also in the same game another ARGUS turned up, killed it started to leave. Suddenly died from a sudden final blast from this things chest. There was no way I could have predicted.
That's all I can think of for now.

My love of Twin Peaks is probably why I didn't find DP that weird... after a while. Sinner's Sandwich scene is still brilliant. I still need to finish it, actually - shame the gameplay is such a drag.Kl4pp5tuhl said:
The ending of Assassin's Creed 2. Brohood probably would have been too if I hadnt already been expecting some weird shit to go down.
I also had a what the hell moment a long time ago when I played Paper Mario Thousand year door. It was the first time I played a game with a fourth wall break and it was hilarious after i realized what had happened.

You want to know what's more fucked up?Fayathon said:
Apparently, Nier is the sequel to fifth ending of Drakengard. WTF.
On the other note: I'm glad people still remember that game. The entire plot was wtf but still pretty fun to play as a badass dragon. Sigh, I always hoped for Drakengard 3.
I can one up you. When you kill someone then he becomes some combination of Stretch Armstrong and Slenderman, turning black and stretching across the sky. I'm pretty sure it made my game crash at least once. I think it was in Mercs 2.Ddgafd said:
Also, when no one chops down any wood for you in Dwarf Fortress because they apparently refuse to travel outside of their burrow boundries.
