The Gaming "WTF?" moments thread

So, this thread for for talking about those gaming moments where you just can't help but to say "WTF!?", either out of anger or surprise. Share, vent, do whatever!

I can't think of much more WTF than Drakengard. As in, the entirety of the game itself. But, I think this (spoiler filled, watch at your own risk) cutscene can sum it up pretty well:



D:

This will be an interesting topic! I would say for me it was when playing Star Trek Elite Force II. I found a hidden door and was excited about getting some supplies and when I jumped over some crates in a small room I looked upon a courious looking tube, so I jumped onto it. It took me in Super Mario world for a short mini game. My mind was blown, up to that point the game was all the way serious and then they hit you with that WTF bomb. Weirdest easter egg evar!

Hmm.. Garry's Mod comes to mind... Not sure if I really need to explain myself.

Only one from recent memory is from Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. Spoilers only for the surprise event; no actual plot or game related spoilers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0r8w5T9U38

Most of mine were the "had to be there" kind of things and I don't record very often. Though I did record one that I thought was a really weird coincidence. When I played Crysis, I replayed the first level a lot just to goof around and while driving down the road, back through an area I had already cleared, an empty truck just starts rolling down the hill into the path in front of me. I was too busy going "wut?" to avoid it and ran right into the thing, blowing up on impact. I reloaded the save and went to investigate how this happened. I went up to the spot where the truck came from and it was still there at the top of the hill, with a rifle wedged under the tire. Apparently during the fight when I cleared that camp, a truck started to roll down the hill but got stopped on a gun. Later, as I drove through, the gun had came unstuck at the exact moment I happened to be driving through.

Here's the video of it (there is no audio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYld0lKiFuY

Ha! I remember watching my roommate playing Fragile Dreams when that happened.

We were joking about it the whole time too, since if you notice he's slowly inching closer... but yeah, didn't actually expect it to happen. We were all like ":O". Also, now my roommate won't play the game with anyone around... we probably joked about it too much :p

Baroque. Like all of it.

That's a pretty good one. The whole last 15 minutes were pretty much a big WTF for me. Especially the star child. Ugh.

Spoiler alert!! :O I've heard lots of people complain about ME3's ending so I'm playing it now to see the ending. Going to stay out of this thread for fear of more spoilers.

So, um, please put blatantly spoiler things in tags please, or at least give a warning. I'm with Grahamtams in that I haven't really played ME3 yet, so I'm a little sad that bit got ruined :(

If it makes you feel better, he can survive. He could die or survive in ME2 as well.

I have had a few of those moments, some of them just unexpected, like the singing yoda's in The Bard's Tale on PS2, I know they aren't Yoda's but close to as I could get. Bard's Tale actually contained a few more shocker moments then serious WTF moments.

Tsugunai: Atonement I had a few of them too, but mostly in actually having to posses a dog.

Another one was in Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2, me and a friend were playing co-op on expert, when we went up against Mordoc SeLanmere with them playing as Allessia Faithhammer and me as Borador Goldhand I hit him once and he was dead, easiest win we ever had against him in expert, we have faced off with Mordoc in expert probably thirty plus times with various characters, never before and never since has that happened again, we even tried to Mimic what happened before and no go. Mordoc usually kills us at least once in awhile. My friend hates letting their character die perhaps why they are have half a meter towards the first so called unobtainable level, and they are terrible at dodging certain attacks from Mordoc so we often have plenty of reloads.

The first time I played Morrowind on Xbox I nearly jumped out of my seat when Tarhiel fell on my head while I was trying to pick up a book just laying on a path. Some of the other Elder Scrolls games had better WTF moments but I can't recall many of them off hand. I know there are a few references to other games, and real historic events that I caught and thought abot how obscure the reference was that many would never catch it.

GTA games, I've had a few car rollovers that went beyond unique or insane jumps and got no score for it, but were surprising in the fact my character should have died but didn't and the car just kept on going too.

In Diablo 2, on numerous occasions I've just been walking along and died with no enemy presence for what seemed like absolutely no reason. Of course I was like WTF! I know there was a reason but I just never saw one, and it irked me.

I wish I had some better ones than these but I'm just a little brain dead this morning after having been really really sick the last week, and even being away from games I think I've played about 1 hour of games in the last week.

i need to appologise i did not know there was a spoiler button so i will remove my old post imidiatly sorry for the inconviniance

ff7 crisis core(zack fair death)[SPOILER][/SPOILER]

D'aw, it wasn't too big of a deal. :3 The spoiler tags didn't really work this time, though. xD

In relation to the current comment... Didn't find that surprising because, well... you already knew about it in FF7. As much as it sucked, and it was sad, it was always looming. :p

In Silent Hill 3, the mannequin.

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just try to speak in very general terms:
