WTF was that?

[UltimateZ]

In Far Cry 2 I remember watching one of the guard guys walk over to some rocks and what appeared to be him.. Jerkin' His McGerkin... I'm not sure if I was just seeing it completely wrong, but I shot him anyway and moved on with a very confused look on my face.

How about the guy in FC2 that's stuck underneath a rock with only the top of his skull sticking out of the top. He could still shoot me, even though I couldn't shoot him.

Also: the glitches in Assassin's Creed 1.

Yeah, who could forget the "Masturbating Guards" glitch? (It's on Youtube, pretty hilarious to watch)

One WTF moment for me was in Fallout 3. Apparently there's a trap in a trainyard where if you grab a teddy bear from a super-mutant camp, the game spawns a Super-Mutant Behemoth to fight you. I had no idea this would happen, and the Behemoth was still far away, so it looked a lot smaller from that distance too, I was wrong. Didn't help that it was my first time fighting a Behemoth and I had no idea what to do.

Also, in the first Uncharted, when

Spoiler

you first see a mutant-thing jumping about in the distance. Shit was NOT cash

In one of the old medal of honor games, when you where infiltrating the nazi 'valhalla' compound or something and the suits of armour started trying to kill me, seriously a WTF moment.

Everything Eternal Darkness does to mess with you.

You'll be going "WTF" every 5 seconds.

Amazing game. The corrupt save file (or whatever it was) was the greatest mindfuck in the history of gaming as far as I'm concerned.

Corrupt save files? Enlighten me...

Op, The last levels of MGS2 Was just pure mindfuck. I wore at the brink of shitting my pants at least 6 times.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with the game. In the game you had a "sanity meter". If you didn't perform "finishing moves" on monsters (and you only have a limited time to do so) you lose sanity. The less sane you are the more the game starts to fuck with you.

When you just lose a little sanity, maybe the walls will jiggle or something. Later they'll start to bleed, then maybe limbs and body parts start falling from them. Previously stationary statues and paintings will come alive and watch you. Other paintings will turn into demonic and disturbing versions of them.

Random stuff also happens too. For instance, the game will put a bug on the screen, so it looks like there's an insect on your TV. It will appear to switch off and is just a black screen with "VIDEO" on the top right. And my favorite is that the game just stops, has some official looking screen with a hex dump and says that your save data was corrupted and had to be erased.

You stand there like what?? Then it snaps back to the game and your character freaks out. Some other stuff it does is say you enter a hall, it's full of ammo! You collect it happily, but it turns out your guy just hallucinated and never actually entered the room. Or it tells you that the controller is unplugged, or your character slowly shrinks, or they rip off their head and recite hamlet.

It's an amazing game and like no one played it

If you're curious, look at this

the corrupt data is number 9.

Sounds fun, but i'd shit brick after 10 mins

Oh I just remember another one. In Super Mario RPG you have to prevent Booster, a strange dwarf man, from marrying Princess Peach. Upon breaking up the wedding, two chefs walk into the room with a giant wedding cake. For some reason I forgot, they attack. During the middle of the fight, the wedding cake comes to life and begins casting magic. You then have a boss fight with a wedding cake.

What the hell were they thinking?

Thingy being a Girl or Boy in Persona 4

I've never played it, but that discussion with another friend made me never want to EVER go near it ever

...Thingy? What? What "Thingy"? I played all of Persona 4 and recall no such "Thingy". I must know the secret of the Thingy! I commandeth thee to reveal the truth of the Thingy thou hast!

OT: When I had reached the final boss in Persona 3, it was 4:00 AM and I was in a dark room by myself. For those that don't know, Persona 3's final boss is Nyx, the manifestation of Death itself who is hyped up as an indestructible horror that will end all life upon its return. Just as Nyx began to appear, my power went out and I was in complete darkness. Mind fuck.

Also, the first time I saw Pyramid Head in Silent Hill 2. I just stopped moving for a moment and thought to myself "Oh shit".

KOTOR 2,

When talking to Atton Rand (in the mining complex at the start of the game), and asking him what he's doing there, he went on a tangent about how he was a last minute addition to the game.
(No idea what I did to trigger it, besides having a large number of previous characters...)

Fallout 3's Rock-it launcher. you get to shoot Teddy Bears!

I always shot Pre-War Money at them.

Weirdest thing I saw that I can currently remember was either a wastelander randomly exploding in fallout 3 (You're supposed to find him dead but he spawned right outside a building as I exited) or the intelligent super mutant that wasn't fawkes. Wtf moment would be the exploding wastelander of course.

I was playing Assassin's Creed 2 yesterday, and every once in a while as you roam the cities you'll come across thieves or highwaymen or something (the game never really explained, but the first one I saw stole 150 florins from me), and you're supposed to chase them down and tackle them (NOT stab them in the face, I learned that after killing at least 4). So after chasing them for a few seconds they start to climb buildings and push people, as they're always scared to death of you (probably because I stabbed 4 of em in the face).
Anyways, as I'm chasing one of these guys across the rooftops of florence, a guard notices us and joins in the chase. As we continue our rooftop pursuit, more guards join. I tackled the dude and took his coins. Now every time you get one of these robbers, the screen looks at him as he begs for forgiveness. As i'm waiting for the guards to come attack me, i'm watching him beg. He's in the middle of "please spare me--" when the guard runs right past me and stabs him in the face. He falls off of the edge of one rooftop, and into a kind of lowered area between 2 raised rooftops. So I decide to watch. The guard who hit him and two others jump down in there and circle him, as 5 or more guards surround the little square depression. They all ignored me, and he ignored them. He tried to climb the sides to escape but they stabbed him and he fell back down. Then the 3 guys in there with him stabbed, beat and kicked him until he died. For about a second afterward, we all just kinda stood there as the guards wiped the blood off thier weapons. Then they noticed me and I ran off.
My little brother was watching, and the two of us were busting up laughing. Apparently, NO ONE is allowed on the rooftops, with petty thieves taking precedence over hardened assassins.
This happens EVERY time the thief runs past a guard. So next time you chase one down, stick around afterward for a great WTF moment

Besides Kotor's reveal, another favourite WTF moment of mine, is falling into that room in Bioshock with all the photographs and Would You Kindly written on the wall...

I think a few things in Viva Pinata can be considered somewhat "random". There was one breed of Pinata you could only get by catching another Pinata on fire then quickly putting it out. Then there was another one you could only get by feeding a Pinata a poisonous berry, and then just before it got sick, to whack it with your shovel.

And then all the shopkeepers were just bizarre.

Assassin's Creed 2. Somehow, I ended up getting disarmed by a guard and I didn't notice for almost half an hour; by the time I did, I had no f***ing idea where it happened.

What's that? "Big deal, I got disarmed"? Let's see you say that when it was the Sword of Altair. Yeah, I lost the game's best weapon to a guard. I started to panic, and I went back to the blacksmith near the Villa to see if I could buy it back. No dice.

Fortunately, it somehow ended back up in the Villa's armory.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Not sure if glitches is count, but this one really confused me.

Now idea how that happened. I had just grabbed Rochelle with my tongue when suddenly some invisible charger grabbed her.

 

[Rassan]

In Fallout 3 I freed the slaves then suddenly one of them started killing everyone else.

Knights Of The Old Republic.....

revan is the player!!

Gasp.

I think that one has pretty much lost the gasp effect by now.

OT: Pretty much any black guy in an Eastern (as in Asian) game. Seriously, there so out of place. Drebin in MGS4, it seemed like they included him just so Kojima could say that they had a black guy in the Metal Gear Series. Also in the FF series, it looks like 13 will have some black guy with an afro, he already seems out of place and I haven't even played the game yet. And Barret from FF7 was out of place.

GTA4. After watching the "threesome" part of the lap dance in the strip club, one of the two strippers teleported above the ceiling, fell, and died in front of Niko.

It was hilarious.

And the first time I saw Kuja in Final Fantasy: Dissidia (I never played FF9), and I thought Sephiroth was fruity!

Kuja isn't nicknamed the Shakespearean Transvestite for no reason!

Assassin's Creed 2. Somehow, I ended up getting disarmed by a guard and I didn't notice for almost half an hour; by the time I did, I had no f***ing idea where it happened.

That's because it's magic and refuses to be in the hands of a guard!

I was playing halo 3 with a friend, at the part where the Flood is invading the city at night. I distinctly remember walking along this ledge area and seeing a few flood zombies come leaping over the cliff and hang 20 feet up in the air before jumping down to rip my face off. I later looked over the edge and saw that it was a bottomless pit. It's times like that that make you wonder how exactly you're winning.
