This list could have been filled with just Yakuza 😂

Haa yes

[@mikespike2099]

Is it a coincidence that most of this WTF moments come from Japanese gaming studios?… I mean what I e learnt from playing these games is that many Japanese must have some serious psychological/ psychosexual issues!!!

[@metalshroomy3539]

That is so true, especially with some of the stuff from like a dragon….

Yall should make this a multi-part series. Clearly, one list wont be enough, so just do more.

Did you not listen to the first minute?

[@chi-zgamer7999]

Facts!!!

[@finalbreath15]

You have to admit, tekken character endings are amazing. I love how strange they are, and it really helps the weirdness of some of the character varieties. Not to mention I feel Mishima Industries or whatever the company is called really shouldn't be taken all that serious in the context of the story lol its all just madness.

[@shawziiz5031]

Well that just happen in character endings, which most of it is not canonical. Canon plot, oh yea Mishima Zaibatsu is no joke. You had to take that seriously. The characters ending just meant to be goofy that all, especially in Tekken Tag, the non-canon game

[@bowlofriskies6486]

When I saw yakuza I knew immediately what it was, having played the entire series

It happened in two games also in the series

[@iamaheretic7829]

Pretty much every Yakuza game can have an entry in this list tbh

[@BoomKuwanger]

The whole list could be made from moments of those games.

[@komododragosh]

Hard to pick which one though, cause there are soooo many WTF in yakuza games.

[@SPQRKlio]

That Origins one was so weird and confusing to me, since I hadn't played Final Fantasy, but I LOVED my weird mystical mount for crossing the desert. Always switched to a more normal animal in the cities, though 😆

[@itaybashan3757]

I know it’s not a common opinions, but ‘Origins’ is my favorite AC game, it got the perfect balance of RPG and traditional AC mechanics. After that the series went too RPGish

[@mtnman8783]

@@itaybashan3757 not my favorite but definitely better than odyssey and Valhalla

[@dark14life]

The Control music video actually does make sense. In that part of the story, Jesse has realized that the Oceanview Motel & Casino (where you see the music video) is actually just a part of her dreams, so she can control it. And, that's what her mind makes up. A crazy, whacky music video. Jesse even remarks afterwards that "Your mind is weird, Jesse." or something to that effect. So yeah, there's context. You just missed it.

[@dars5229]

Hmm. I'm not disagreeing, but I don't really get it. Like, we know other people have used the motel before Jesse. Enough for it to be implemented as a part of FBC security. It's not a product of her dreams, I thought, but something the Bureau has discovered and (mostly) figured out how to use. I thought the music video was, considering we see it after finding out Darling has travelled to a "different plane of existence," a hint that wherever he is, he's happy.

[@JodieMuramoto]

I also want to add...WE'RE THE THRESHHOLD KIDS...I thought those videos were way more WTF than Dr. Darling's music video.

[@dorabrooks76]

@@JodieMuramoto Oh, agreed. So, _sooo_ much agreed!!

[@YEETUSDAFEETUS]

Control is an amazing game. One of the best ps+ monthly games ever. The whole game blew me away with how much fun & crazy the game was. Some of the missions are the best missions I've ever done. The DLC's were great aswell. One of the most wtf moments ive played were them creepy baby parts in Max Payne.

[@gameranxTV]

👍🏼

[@roachmancam9012]

I agree those max payne missions disturbed me as a child

[@jefferyflood]

It's also on stadia. GeForce now and Xbox gamepass and probably has been since it was first released

[@DavidJamesTaddeucci]

Still think the weirdest thing in a game I ever saw was a side quest in Cyberpunk 2077 where you help a convicted murderer literally crucify himself. You take part in nailing him to a big crucifix while reciting prayers. Meanwhile there's cameras around in the game to record the whole event for one of those "brain dance" things. It's all really bizarre

[@yehm813]

Loved this game!! Don't get the hate. Worked great on my pc

[@aryabratsahoo7474]

It's as if something like that could happen irl.

[@Coreisus]

I love how, Johnny at that point goes from his usual self to real somber. I think he even says Amen if I remember correctly. Like he was more invested in that than V was.

[@marcianoacuerda]

@@yehm813 I think because they rushed multi platform and multi generation versions. They wanted to have it for every platform and that flopped. Ps4-Xbone weren’t up to the task, heck I’m playing on a series X in performance mode and it dips under 60 sometimes and a bunch of physics bugs(mostly hilarious though 😂). The game itself it’s fun though, interesting premise, lots of guns, tech and fun missions!!

[@hallaloth3112]

My introduction to Yakuza was watching Like a Dragon while my fiance played it. . .and I absolutely loved it. Good storytelling and whacky side-stories that balanced into an incredible game. I mean to pick it up on an eventual sale for myself. For now, I have Yakuza 0 to tide me over which has been just as good.

[@HankChinaski27]

The flaming dogs falling from the sky moment in Oblivion is definitely up there for me. It is one of my all time favorite gaming mission.

[@kipzonderkop1994]

This could literally be a replay of most of the tekken 5 endings 😂

[@harrys6231]

I played yakuza like a dragon. And there is a quest were you are supposed to get baby formula for a desperate man. And you have to beat up some guys in diapers to get that. And the strangest thing is when you win you can call him to assist you in battle. Definatly a wtf moment for me.

The first mission in Breath of the Wild is "Defeat Ganon". "OK, thanks for the kite and sticks."

Yeah, that one reminded me of the part in FF7, OG or the remake, when you go to that Honeybee club, after Cloud dresses like a chick, so you can go before Don Corneo, and save Tifa! If you take the time, when you look into the peepholes, you can hear and see some weird s%#@, even President Shinra is in one of the rooms.

Just today I went to "terror island" in Tales of Berseria, and it turned out that it was actually the home island of the Normin Malakhim; not only *that* , but the whole island is a giant *cake* , with a chocolate river/waterfall; it's so *weird* in the usually fairly believable world of Tales of Berseria, that when the crew first arrives, even Velvet's like "What the Hell?" And the rest of the crew are weirded out by it. Trust me, it's a WTF moment.

[@dafff08]

@@dafff08 I wouldn't know about that, since Tales of Berseria is the *only* Tales game I've played, but if you say so.

[@hallaloth3112]

I feel like a lot of Tales Of games have moments like this, some stretching them further than others. The Isle of Katz in Symphonia is completely skippable and though it's visually not that whacky. . . you suddenly have a hometown for all the Katz you see across the game

[@Abhijitsinh_z]

One of the moments was in Assassin's creed 3, the cutscene where Haytham recruits Charles Lee into the order and says "May the Father of understanding guide us..." concluding they were templars the whole time in the prologue campaign.

I could watch WTF moments in games weekly and never tire of them.

[@Poisonjam7]

Dr. Darling was the best part of Control to me. I forgot the actor’s name, but my god, he absolutely went above and beyond with his performance. Finding the videos was one of the main things keeping me going. Threshold Kids was great too. Almost just as good as the Darling presentations, but more disturbingly creepy.

[@Fotzfrosch]

The Actors Name ist Matthew Porretta. Fun fact: he's also the voice actor for the original Alan Wake ;)

[@wabisabi7755]

He's very sexy too. Especially the part where he takes off his shirt. Damn, total DILF moment right there.

Was having a rough day, Falcon's reaction to the chocobo/camel hybrid definitely improved it. 😉

[@Ori_Kohav]

A few more mentions: 1. The fight with Flowey in Undertale. What’s this high-resolution mutated plant doing in an 8-bit game? 2. Revenge of Shinobi, an old-school game about ninjas, has a fight with… Spiderman??? and in low enough health, he becomes… Batman????? 3. Crysis Warhead has an anti piracy measure that makes your gun shoot chickens (I’m a bit disappointed that there wasn’t any clucking) 4. In Crash Bandicoot 4, N Tropy falls in love with… a female version of himself????? 5. In Crash Twinsanity, you slide into an adult club managed by Cortex. “are those real?” “mother???”

[@RaymondChia_Silaqui]

The Yakuza one, the family head ccomes back as a summon in the latest one... Should have added that as a honorable mention.

[@spont24]

The Saint's Row 4 entire intro sequence should have been on here. The whole riding a nuke to "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Areosmith, disarming it mid flight, and landing in the White House so now you're the president. That was just an amazing WTF moment.

[@echsIncognito]

I really feel like the out of nowhere rhythm game dance off at the honeybee inn in FF7 remake deserves a spot in this list. I think my jaw was on the floor while simultaneously crying with laughter during that whole sequence.

There was that bit in Silent Hill 2 with the radio quiz show in the elevator. It's never explained, and I'm not sure there's any lore reason for it despite James acknowledging it's happening to him. So it's canon unlike the Dog Ending, but just plain weird and unexplained.

One of the most weird or maybe more disturbing moments I had in gaming was in Scarlett Nexus, the last bond mission with Gemma and Yuito. I think it's mainly because I did not except the game's story to be so dark. Like, I mean, human brains play a major role here

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

One of my more recent WTF moments was in Kingdom Hearts 3. When Sora and just about All of his friends and allies, get one shot waxed by Terra-Xehanort. And it happens in a cutscene, you have absolutely no control. Likewise there's another cutscene earlier on when Riku gets his Keyblade from KH2 - Way to Dawn, destroyed which was supposed to be a manifestation of his heart shaped much like the Soul Eater from the first game and Chain of Memories. So how the hell it could Break apart from being destroyed by those tornado swarm Heartless. And I'll still never get where the hell he got the New Keyblade - Braveheart, in the 3rd official title. Not to mention how weird and dumb it is that Xion who is more or less not supposed to exist anymore, is a Keyblade wielding Nobody formed from Kairi and Sora when their hearts were joined and then separated in KH1. If anything she should've had her own sort of abnormal looking Keyblade much like Ventus' from KH: BBS, with the reverse head design. But if nothing else I think her's was basically supposed to be Oblivion that Roxas was duel wielding along with Oathkeeper yet Nomura never clarified if it was. And that's not going into why Kairi is still using that flower Keyblade she got from Riku in his Ansem (Heartless) form - Destiny's Embrace. The whole point about the Keyblades was that they were supposed to be manifested by the wielder to indicate the design based on their heart and personality. Like Terra's being large for strength and Aqua's for looking sleek and elegant or Eraquis' for seeming simple but having an underlying strength similar to a Katana to it much like his design seeming reminiscent of an old Samurai. That's like if I had a reputation for being a sort of Tech geek but the Keyblade that I would generate just looked like a flaming horned skull just because I like some of the music from Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal instead of coming out more like the Photon Debugger from Space Paranoids or the Dual Disc from the Grid. And then for something that my heart (plot manifested power weapon) creates and hides at my command to get broken, makes even less sense since technically if you put it back in yourself it should come back out good as new. It's not like the sword needs to be assembled by some great Keyblade blacksmith.

True Crime Streets of L.A surprised me back in the day with the introduction of supernatural elements almost in the end of the story.. you are a Cop in a GTA like game.. and then you are dealing with undead, demons and a dragon! That was great for me at the time becuz It was so unexpected.. I also remember fondly of GTA VC Stories with the zombie mission, I was an early teen and didn't knew english at the time so I believed It was zombies for real.. also the mission with the robot was quite exotic. I could also mention Saints Row 2.. with that "immortal" rasta boss.

[@UltramasterBDJ]

Oh hey!! I _just_ posted a comment about that! I'm not the only one who remembers! :D "True" Crime indeed. XD It just... it just came _completely_ out of nowhere!
