What the-?

[JDLY]

It's simple (in my point of view) has there ever been a time in a game where something happens (weather you die or not). Or something/somebody is suddenly introduced half-way through that play a major role in the game.

In short has there ever been a moment leving you staring at your TV/computer screen saying "What the hell/heck/fuck or anything else of the sort.

At this moment I can only think of one but it's not that extreme.

In Army of Two I'm fighting people in a hanger on an aircraft carrier. I open the door to the nest hanger and find around thirty guys shooting at me. But that's not the "what the-" part. That comes when about five people start running straight at me as if suicide only to run right past me to shoot at my back.

To me that's a very poor excuse for a flank.

My brother and I were cooping in Gears (Insane). I was taking on a group of Locust and my brother was nowhere to be found. I was about to be chainsawed when the locust explodes. My brother rushes in and kills half of the enemies with just a chainsaw. I was like D:

On The Hidden mod for HL2 I was on the train yard map. No one had died yet. Boom! An explosion right next to me. Everyone was firing. The guy next to me explodes. 'He got pig sticked' someone yelled. I saw my allies drop one by one. Then I notice the Hidden coming straight for me. I press fire, it reloads. The Hidden tries to pig stick me and BOOM! The only other ally blasted him with a shotty.

Another time on Hidden I was standing next to a friend. 'Do you see him?' He asked. When I turn to look at him, SPLAT. Pig sticked. Then I got knifed. I had to watch on the security camera as the Hidden ate some of my body and them pinned it to the wall.

By the way. Pig stick = instant gib kill.

isnt this pretty much covered by the The most "oh... shit" moment in a game. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.55160] topic?

Well, not exactly, because this is for introductions of things into games, not necessarily abrupt difficulty or 'oh... shit' moments.
Like Magnusson [http://chriskc.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/magnusson.jpg].

Fairy Nuff, in that case my WTF moment has to be when ever you meet someone new in GTA4 and the offer to go out an kill someone with no real justification.

I think the most recent wtf moment for me was on halo 3 lone wolfs. i throw one stick nade, there was one guy below me and he got stuck on the head and died... on my screen it told me I got 3 sticky nade kills and the guy died 3 times. I was 'wtf just happened' all through that rest of the match. I've watched it back and no one can figure out what happened at all.

Oh and when i finished assassin creed i was like WTF?

 

[scarbunny]

Oh another one would be playing BF2 and it deciding that someone on the other side of the map had killed me, upping my death count and his points. Now this would have been ok. If I hadnt still been perfectly alive at the time.

 

[Zemalac]

The entire sci-fi plot thread in Assassin's Creed. What the hell were they trying to do there?

 

[Aginor27]

I recall a couple of moments in Tales of Symphonia where i was pretty dumbfounded, however so as to avoid spoilers i'll leave it at that.

That emo blond chick in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. She kinda appears every now and then, gives you key items, then disappears. Then you defeat her in the Pokemon League.
They did it right with Lance in Pokemon Silver. Then it makes sence that a kid could play a pivotal role in bringing down the Yakuza.

This girl just has this random, stalkerish feel to her. I mean, really. She talks about watching you, if I remember correctly.

Milla's Nightmare Chest in Psychonauts... that place gave me the chills.

 

[MirrorMonkey]

the ending to crysis made me go

What the hell/heck/fuck

that has got to be the lamest ending ever to be honest =/

 

[Llasnad]

I do so love the appearance of Magnusson in HL2 Ep2. No other game I can think of has ever made me stop, and go "Who the fuck is that? And why am I suppose to know who he is?"

 

[wewontdie11]

In Kane and Lynch where you have to go to some random jungle in the butt crack of nowhere. I thought that you were a hitman come armed robber! Nothing was mentioned up to that point saying that the group I was part of randomly staged military coups.

I would define "oh... shit" as in you are just about to die or some enemy just came out with a really big gun.

"What the-" seems to me as more of a confused state.

In 007 Goldeneye the enemies will attempt to dodge your bullets by casually bunny hoping 2 feet right or left, typically into the path of a grenade thrown by none other than...themselves.

I just love how in Half Life 2: Episode 2 Dr. Magnusson is brought into the game asif he had always been there.
