Title: "Jump in the Mass Grave!" WTF?!
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 16, 2012, 06:23:51 PM
I decided to pick up Homefront because it is dirt cheap now. I didn't expect much out of the game, but at $16 I thought it was worth a shot. So I've been playing it and without spoiling the game too much for anyone, let me just say at one point you come across a Mass Grave full of dead and rotting bodies of innocent civilians, and the game prompts you to press Square to "Jump in the Mass Grave" and I was like whoa!
I've been playing video games since the original Super Mario Bros. on the NES, and never once did I ever think a video game would ask me to jump into a mass grave. Its almost funny if you think about it, and it would be funny except mass graves are no laughing matter. But its just a really weird and crazy thing for a game to ask you to do.
So my question to you all is what crazy things have you ran into in a video game that you were prompted to do? Anything weird and crazy like jumping in a mass grave? Can you think of anything that tops this?

Conker's Bad Fur Day. They have this freshly hatched cute baby dinosaur in a diaper follow you around this area making all sorts of babytalk and clearly seeing you as its mother. You lead it to some platform and make it stay and then hit some switch and a heavy weight squashes and kills the baby in a gorey mess. You have to do this to proceed and Conker is quite nonchalant about it. The game is supposed to be a comedy and it feels like it is intended to be funny but it just made me feel uncomfortable. The gag is basically the shock factor of killing an innocent creature. I probably would have found it funny if it had some clever satirical context to it but it really just seems to be "see it's cute and innocent and you have to kill it! Isn't that FUNNY!!"

Modern Warfare 2 asked me to go with a bunch of terrorists shooting civilians, except if I shot any of the civilians I got an immediate game over.

I dug out a dude's eyes with a shard of glass in Manhunt and the director said "oh yeah that gets me hard." A WTF moment if ever there was one.

If it wasn't for the Mass Graves, the constant abuse of civilians, Homefront would have been completely forgettable as "Another Modern Warfare".
