man... what the fuck.

post out of place stuff on video games that ruin your gaming sessions!

 

[semiconscious]

the opening screen. instantly reminds me i'm not really in an apocalyptic, post nuke boston, but am simply sitting on my ass at home playing some stupid damn video game. completely demolishes my immersion (same thing for the save menu. i mean, how can i be 'saving' if i'm really there?)...

Some games circumvent this by turning the save menu into a journal or something similar.

An auto-save-only playthrough might also be unique to try depending on prioritizing immersion over gameplay mechanics and convenience.

Was this really in the middle of the level?

I suppose I should add this to the list of awful changes in the Remastered version.

The witness and wanted system in rdr2 .

Its not that bad , its servicable . But its so out of place in an otherwise perfect immersion games .

 

[lh032]

Wokeness, inclusion and diversity

 

[laynelane]

Microtransactions being purchasable at workbenches in Dead Space 3. Not unexpected for EA, but it was a real eye-rolling moment for me.

 

[Dacvak]

Is this from TLoU2? I honestly don’t remember this part.

 

[kizito]

In Alan Wake 2 when Saga suddenly says that she won't let another white male dictate her life. I was like WTF

[StreetsofBeige]

It's actually not out of place. If anything it should be expected. But still, you wouldnt think it would be in the game............ Kingpin game gave this beauty.

[fart town usa]

Nintendo constantly trying to talk you out of playing their games. Lol.

Not sure if they still do that but I remember it with various games on the Wii.

 

[fatmarco]

When Assassin's Creed Valhalla got to the invasion of England and there wasn't even an intimation that your characters were the villains of the story. I basically quit the game right there.

It's fine to play as Vikings but at least try not to make the invaded people the villains of the story. It's utterly idiotic, and in any other context you'd be laughed out the room as a racist, revisionist moron.

Games that recognise you're the bad guy when you're the bad guy are far better than those whose developers are too deluded to realise you aren't.

yeah it's those tape things you collect

 

[Dancer_BV]

yeah it's those tape things you collect

My mind must have done an excellent job at blocking those out when I did try the Remastered version, since for whatever reason I don't remember that at all.

Sorry you were smacked with that .mp4 file in the middle of an otherwise excellent game.

I think it's actually a good thing.

This is exactly how media was before wokeness took over.

Writing should be 100% unfiltered for these kinds of games.

Many people in real life have racist tendencies, so it's only normal that authentic characters have them too.

 

[Jesb]

Most things in games is out of place. Like who do I have to thank for conveniently leaving these bullets for me all over the place.

Hopefully not Geoff Keighley

 

[existensmaximum]

How was that out of place? It makes perfect sense to the plot and their history as characters.

 

[existensmaximum]

Skeletons or animals leaving loot other than fur, meat, claws etc. Especially money.

Literally looks like gay sex Mano-on-Mano.

Yeah there was a mind clash for me with that game. I never got over it and basically quit the game because of it. Worst quest was when I was supposed to light the houses on fire in a village and the village people were running and screaming. They tried to make it seem like there were some heroic ambition to free a country, it’s like some Pootin revisionary thinking. I didn’t quit right there but my interest in the story was about 1/10. Looked up the ending on Youtube instead. Just no thanks.

Modders will hopefully fix that in the PC version and make Abby hot, at that point I’ll be a whole different scene

Well he is a YouTube Streamer. Being fake is part of his persona like the rest of them lol

I mean... story wise

Spoiler: Story

it's when Saga becomes anti-saga and is in the dark place and having a mental break down, basically the bad guy version of saga. She also blames basically everyone and everything in this moment.

I remember seeing this prior to playing the game and its really an out of context screen grab.

 

[StueyDuck]

He's too stupid to be that fake. The guy barely strings together a full coherent sentence most of the time.

I'm surprised he has such a following to be honest, it's like simple jack the stream.

 

[Vblad88]

Most out of place ? That must be additional censorship prompt placed after interactive body desecration piece in “Martha is dead”… don’t understand that to this day

 

[SCB3]

For me its Yakuza/Like a Dragon series

I know they're loved but the over the top silliness does not go with the super serious story thats going on, if they were left to just be side quests, thats no issue, go for it, the problem is when they intergrate it into the main quest, for example the last game had close to 5 hours of silly side quests that you HAD to do to progress the story (Dondoko Island and the Sujimon stuff)

Judgement and especially Lost Judgement handled this so so much better

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

• Tutorials
• Long (narrated) cutscenes that transport some explicit plot/story bit
• QTE

Get that shit out of my face. Go make some films if you feel artsy

 

[NightmareFarm]

Slow Walking or anything adjacent(like slowly sliding through tight gaps)

 

[nemiroff]

Political propaganda loading / screens / messaging. Call of Duty loves that stuff.

 

[GymWolf]

From her face i can tell that his dick wasn't out of place.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I never play games with director's commentary or stuff like that, I'm just focused on the game, not how it was made. I can agree they should've added that movie clip to one of Bioshock's menus instead of randomly dropping it in the world.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

First thing I thought of was this. It was just so ham fisted in and didn't need to be there. Fucking weird.

Obnoxious achievement pop ups while playing.

These guys are taking on a private military group.

Funniest thread in a while. Gotta love the inevitable retards who say "uhm actually it was a good thing"

Joel got fucked with a golf club, so it wasn't that surprising really.

But it was one of the key scenes that got memed to death

Spider-Man 2 side missions. Political preaching always pulls me out games.

 

[AJUMP23]

I actually think this is amazing.

That Wolfenstein game where the pregnant woman rips her clothes off and shoots a Nazi whilst covered in blood.
