I WAS JOKING moments Pages 1 2 NEXT | |
Well, when I first played through Mass Effect, when you have Anderson help you free the Normandy, when he stormed into Udina's office, I yelled at the TV "Yeah, punch him in the face!" and he did, to which I responded "Oh my god, he actually punched him in the face!" | |
I usually know what to expect. It rarely happens. | |
Crusader Kings 2 - I was joking with a friend about how you can get a king with terrible traits that utterly ruins your realm when your vassals decide they hate his guts. Next day, along comes my Craven Homosexual Retarded Heretic prince, taking the throne of Russia. The ensuing wave of rebellion was... well, it wasn't boring, I'll tell you that... | |
^^ This. Also the other cutscene where he headbuts a Turian C-Sec officer into unconsiousness. And then he becomes the Human Counciler 6 hours later. That was fun. | |
Mine aren't so much "I was only joking!" but more like "Well, I fucking called that one." Normally happens when the game introduces some new form of BS during a boss fight or something. "Money says that it's going to start breaking away the platforms that I have to stand on." or something like that leading inevitably to me saying, as I mentioned, "Well, I fucking called that one." | |
You mean you weren't whooping and cheering that he'd just punched Ambassador Udina in the face? Guess I was the only one. | |
Wait thats possible? Wow . OT: i got nothing , i never scream anything but swears at my tv . | |
yeah i was playing tf2 before this christmas and said to my friends: wouldnt it be funny if valve released a santa hat for the classes? needless to say my jaw dropped at the next update. Now for immediate things i was playing Red dead redemptuion undead nightmare..i was riding along the country side and mused to myself: wouldnt it be funny if i encountered the horses of the apocalypse without any trouble aboud 5 minutes later i had broken war i think...went to the next area...broke the next one...then the next one... and then im just crusiing and i find the last one... needless to say i was shocked stupid i found them so easily when its supposed to be rarer than that. | |
Let's see, I was playing Xenogears. And there's this cutscene where Cherenkov is being verbally beaten by his wife who thinks he's a disgusting monster and what not. Anyway, I said outloud: "10 bucks he kills her." And right then, the cutscene has a fade out of him walking up to her and a fade in of her body lying on the ground. Woot. | |
Total War. Medieval II. "Oh sure, Milan, attack me, and call France to help you. Why not. And naturally Spain have to jump in too. Whats next, Denmark?" *Next turn* "Denmark? What the fu... ARE YOU SERIOUS???" I am sure you will be glad to hear that I CRUSHED THEM ALL!!! YES EUROPE, BOW BEFORE YOUR ENGLISH AND HUNGARIAN OVERLORDS!!! | |
I was playing Terraria the other day and was fighting The Wall of Flesh and was doing really well. As his health dropped lower and lower, I said to myself that "it would suck if I would die just before I could strike the killing blow". About a minute of running and firing like a moron later I finally get it down to two digits of health (He starts with 8000). One more shot is all that is needed to finish this abomination. Guess what happens... | |
well... it might sound childish but I was playing Runescape, making baked potatoes, and I thought to myself "getting cheese takes forever... they should just make a milk churner". Sure enough in the next week's update, completely unannounced in the monthly update news, they released churners. I was quite chuffed. | |
Likewise. There was a time however when I was playing Silent Hill: Homecoming when an enemy was chasing me down before I leaped over a desk into another room and said, "Can't get me now, stupid ass" than the enemy promptly stepped over the desk and beat the crap out of me. | |
Every renegade action in Mass Effect, ever. | |
Wait... he headbutts a turian? Damn... I need to choose that option my next playthrough. Anyways, talking about Udina, Ive said since the first game I would love to shut that asshole up... yes, you knoiw where im going with this. One of the things that is convincing me to buy the game... | |
Medieval Total War 1 You can't marry the princess to her brother.... Oh dear what have I done D:.... | |
Yup, that's what happens. Also, I kinda felt bad about the Udina thing. I hate his guts, but I don't think he's all that bad of a guy. Still hate him though. | |
Im sorry, are we talking about the same Udina? As I see it, a number of wrongs by Bioware were undone in my eyes when they allowed me to do that... | |
I had a lot of moments like that in the Persona series. I play a lot of games like I'm in my own episode of MST3K, and often make fun of the game because...I have nothing else to do. There's one scene from Persona 3 where one of the characters is the son of a doctor, and likes to try and help diagnose people. He's talking to one of your female party members and as I joke I said aloud "Take off your shirt and say 'ahhhh'." and then about two lines of dialogue later...he said that almost verbatim. I've had quite a few of those moments in both Persona 3 and 4 | |
Yeah, but in my opinion he was doing so for all the right reasons. He was DEAD wrong, and as I said I hate the guy, but I can sympathize with him. | |
Mine are more out of anger at particularly hard bossfights or sections. Usually it's along the lines of, "Oh, I bet he'll be able to one-shot me for some reason!" or "And I bet I'll have to do this section another 20 bloody times!" | |
Yeah... I geuss I can see your point... but its quite argueable that deciding to side with Cerberus, whether or not it was for a good cuase, was just a bad decision period. Course, as I already had an idea of what they were trying to do, and I knew how it would have turned out, I am a little biased. | |
It's more than arguable, it's pretty much fact. Cerberus is bad news - and in my opinion, a decision is good or bad regardless of how it turns out. Siding with Cerberus could have turned out well, but even if that was the case it still would have been a bad decision. For example, in "Slumdog Millionaire" I think it was a terrible decision to guess the final question at random (even though it won him lots of money) instead of just walking away (and guaranteeing slightly less money) because if he guessed wrong he would have lost all of the money he had gained.[1] Sense-making? [1] technically more complicated that this, but works for illustration. Essentially, it wasn't a terrible idea because the character truly didn't care about the money - he cared about the girl, and he just got her. | |
That second part is assuming Ive seen Slumdog Millionaire (which I havent). But I do of course see the sense in it, there is no complaint that siding with Cerberus is a bad move, but without knowing what we know, a person in Udina position, with his homeworld in flames, and being with alien counterpart that do nothing to help, it can get frustrating. So siding with th... OH MY GOD! AM I ACTUALLY DEFENDING UDINA!? Also, Captcha: am i happy? [1] technically more complicated that this, but works for illustration. Essentially, it wasn't a terrible idea because the character truly didn't care about the money - he cared about the girl, and he just got her. | |
Yes. Yes you are. And that mean's you're growing as a person. ;) Seriously though, it is a good thing to be able to look at a morally grey situation and actually see it as a grey thing. I understand what Udina did - he did the wrong thing in almost every possible way, and he's a pompous jerk besides, but I understand why he did what he did. | |
Ehh... I honestly prefer grey over straight black and white. Always more fun to argue morals when there isnt a clear right and wrong. | |
Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I was fighting against the first boss, naturally just going around the pillars and shooting when I could while he threw grenades at me. I was getting annoyed with the random grenade throwing and said "How about you kill yourself with one of those" and he kills himself with the grenades. Driver: San Francisco When you are driving and Jericho is throwing cars at you, (awesome level btw) I shout at the screen "You know, I wanna throw cars too". The mission right after that, I'm throwing cars at Jericho :D | |
I meant that it is good to be able to recognize when a situation isn't black and white, like the situation with Udina was. What he did was horrifically wrong (black), but he didn't intend the bad things and had good intentions and good reasons (white). In this case, they end up mixing together to make a very dark grey. It's even better to be able to recognize the gray in a person's situation even as you want to light the guy on fire and beat him with sticks. | |
Well this one is kind of obvious, but when I was playing through the legend of zelda: Phantom Hourglass I was thinkin "So she gets kidnapped over and over, wouldn't it be nice of something just stopped the kidnap cycle and straight up wtfpwn't her..." Then spirit tracks came out and I stood, mouth agape and said, "Guys... I was joking!" | |
I could say a lot of ones from my favorite two games right now, but no one would know what I'm talking about...Why do my favorite games have to be so obscure all of a sudden, dammit? | |
This one might be a lil different but bare with me. While playing Old Republic, i was in a low level zone doing something and someone was asking for help. Eventually i stated 'sure i'll help, i'm bored' but i was told i was too late and the group was full. So i proceeded to act all but hurt and tell them it was their loss i would of been a big help because im such hich level blah blah blah. I assumed it was pretty obvious i was just joking around but i then proceeded to get replies from nearly every single person in the area tell me to get over it and stop being so butthurt. | |
The whole thing with Udina in ME3. He was waaaaaay too nice to me in the beginning, so I sort of called him betraying me or the Council in some fashion. He couldn't have gone from "Damn, I was hoping you were still dead" to "Oh, hello Shepard. How are you?" in a few months. Granted, I was hoping to be proved wrong. When I shot him, first thought was, "Damn, now who can I get to be the Human Councilor? I'm not taking that job." | |
I was watching my friend play Battlefield and left to get a drink when as I walked in I randomly said mortar incoming, and as soon as I said that he got hit right in the head with a mortar. Needless to say I wasn't allowed to predict things while he was playing anymore. | |
Playing Amensia Dark Descent. *hears creaking noises and mutant cow mmos* Keep in mind it was daylight outside and I live with other people who are wondering atm wether or not I'm still sane because of that. >_< | |

Have you ever had a moment while playing a video game when you found yourself yelling "I WAS JOKING!" at the screen? Moments where you say something bizarre only for the game to end up having said bizarre element? I had one not too long ago while playing Dark Souls. I was fighting the Iron Golem, I think it was my 4th or 5th try. I was at half health and all out of potions while the giant still had a fair chunk of health left. He was doing that off balance thing on the edge of the tower and remembering how I had died in previous fights by falling off, I remarked "it sure would be nice if HE fell off." Then I hit him...and he did. That was a very pleasant surprise.
What about you?
