WTF moments in gaming

[NotAPie]

L4D2 Chargers.

Death charges from roof tops, into water, or down elevator shafts. It happened to me yesterday actually. I was playing as a charger, and had the perfect set up. No lag was to be found that day and it was glorious. I charge Francis, I hit him, but he doesn't go over with me. The charger, literally, pushes Francis directly to the right, instead of forward to his death. He rolled right off me even though I was directly in front of him, as if I were slippery. Must be all the infected goo.*raspberry* That was one of my more recent w.t.f moments.

I once kicked ass as a Charger on Hard Rain. A guy ran out of the safe spot at the start and I was able to spawn due to this. I charged Nick and took him right into the water, instakilling him.

I remember getting 1 instakill and having two hang off the edge.
However it was like this:
Only you know...It was Ellis that was left standing up.

OP: Assassin's Creed, the leap of faith...I mean sure from a height of ten feet maybe you don't break your neck, but most of those buildings were a good fifty seventy feet up, you'd totally die jumping into a cart of hay...I still loved that freaking game though.

This is PROBABLY no excuse... but Altair's line may have powers because they're descended from a human-[godlikepeople] hybrid. I don't remember where I heard this or if its bunk, but wikipedia CANT be wrong!! So thats where eagle vision(and extraordinary strength?) comes from. Maybe...

Well it better be because of that, if he is just this regular guy with weird eyes then really WTF. Wikipedia CAN NOT FAIL! haha, well I guess it would make sense, since the whole you know ending scene of AC2, but during AC how were we supposed to know? haha

Apparently it's mentioned in the black edition manual, or so says the AC Wiki.

Well that explains even more, I didn't have enough cash to buy the black edition. I'll look into that later. Thanks

Nice. I love death-charges. My friend and I set one up in the new map, 'The Sacrifice'. It nearly always works. And it's easy to explain before they run out of the safe-area if my friend and I, don't get the required infected at random. Need a smoker, and of course your charger. It's in the very beginning,and we've had quite a few nerd-rages afterwords.It's after the exploding barrels.

There is a car round the corner that's slammed through the railing and is precariously hanging off the side. There is an open area there, and you get the smoker to stand by the car. The rest of the infected separate the survivors as much as possible, and one of them runs ahead (they nearly always do), smoke him, and drag him over to the edge of the open area (that's the tricky part, because if he sees the smoker too early. He/she will kill you, and you've messed up.) The charger jumps off the roof, takes quick aim at he struggling survivor, and slams the survivor over and into the water. ^_^ Ta-da!

I'm sure everyone and their mother knew that one already, though. lol Just one of my favorite instant-kill spots. Because unless you are against a pro-run group, it works nearly every-time. The only other thing that can mess it up, it's not getting a charger or smoker in the beginning.

All Resident Evil games. You can blow up several zombies in one shot with a grenade launcher. But you can't break down a wooden door.

I know I may have been ninja'd already, but Condemned is ridiculous with this.

"You're telling me that I can pry open this door with a crowbar, but a giant goddamn sledge-hammer won't break through the wood?! What? I don't--WHAT!? GGGWWWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!" *goes mad from the revelation*

A dragon crashed down at me in Baldursgate, therefor killing it self.

What? Where does this happen?

In Fallout 3 I was doing an Unarmed-only run, and was fighting a couple of Enclave soldiers in the big tank thing in the Broken Steel DLC. So I went to town on both of them with my Power Fist, side-stepping left and right while mashing the trigger, and when they were on low health I went into VATS. Having targeted a soldier who happened to be standing in front of his crouching comrade I threw a punch that went through the first guy's head and exploded the arms of the second.

By then I assumed my character was a god.

 

[shadowflare]

Playing UFC undisputed 2010; in one match when I initiated the clench the fighters began to be pulled apart slowly by their feet while still trying to hold onto one another. It looked like they were being sucked into black holes on opposite sides of the screen. Once they had been pulled far enough that they were no longer touching, but still reaching out to each other with all of their might, they began to shake, convulse, twist, and flop around in grotesque, impossible positions.

Fallout 3's ending.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

My biggest WTF moment in gaming is when I discovered that at least 5 hours of Xenogears involved people sitting in a chair followed by a boss battle, only to go back to the chair.

That might've been one of the most boring segments of any RPG I've ever played.

Fable 2.

Using my mighty magic, sword and, blunderbuss, I am able to slay scores of Balverines, Bandits and, Hobbes...but I can't kill any children, chicken or, my dog! What the hell!? At least my good lady wife can give me children...well...child. *Sigh* I wanted to start a family-band like The Osmonds but, how many 3-people bands ever made it big!? Don't answer that...

Dead Rising

Spoiler: If you haven't beaten the game yet

How come that one bite turns Frank but the untold millions before did nothing?

Cuz. Frank didn't have his OJ with him then.

First time I encountered the penis monster in Silent Hill 3. And when you get the super yelling power in Condemned 2.

By the way, since there's been a lot of talk of MGS2, it reminded me of the fact that during the naked Raiden section where the game demands that you shut it off, my friend actually turned off his console...

 

[Mr Scott]

A little of topic, I was spared a WTF? moment when playing the MGS games. I'd played Three first so when I'd swapped from Solid to Raiden I took it in stride, figuring changing characters is far for the course (which it is wor MGS.)

Spoiler

"I must destroy Revan!"
"No, PC you are Revan"
And then KOTOR was a very well-written game.

Legion taking on Harbinger and the Collectors by himself and winning.

HOMMV - I love that game but it is more commong to find ridiculous spelling mistakes than actual words. I'm not talking about a couple of little things, I mean the subtitles look like someone has slammed their face on the keyboard repeatedly.

The spawning glitch in AC2. A hundred archers spawned on a rooftop (nearly crashing my PC) and then fell off into the river and onto the street - all dying hilariously.

The Havok physics in Oblivion. Especially when using a Staff of Storms on the sheep outside Skingrad. Hit them just right and they are catapulted several hundred metres away with ridiculous ragdolling.

Tavion from Jedi Academy (in the multiplayer maps). She just LOVES running off those cliffs.

 

[The Stonker]

A dragon crashed down at me in Baldursgate, therefor killing it self.

What? Where does this happen?

It was a bug in my game.
Well it actually happend in the beginning when I got out of the dungeon and I was like WTF D:

 

[badgersprite]

I just remembered one. I was having fun playing True Crime: Streets of LA, when, suddenly, I found myself in a lava pit fighting a dragon demon made of smoke and molten rock.

...oO...

What in God's name?

I don't think I have ever been so baffled by a game's sudden and inexplicable departure from reality. Seriously. There was literally no build up to this and no warning within the context of that game to tell me I would suddenly be switching from a hybrid of COPS and GTA to fighting the great Balrogs of Middle Earth. I...I don't even...
