7 Cutscenes Where You Forgot How to Hero

[@outsidextra]

Cutscenes give *usually* badass heroes a chance to kick back and make really dumb mistakes! Here are seven such instances. Can you think of any more? Shout in the comments if so, and enjoy!

[@patrickbrennan7438]

Outside Xtra Ratchet and clank 2: A game involving blowing enemies up with ridiculously over the top weapons (Including a rocket launcher capable of killing the final boss in 10 seconds). You get held at gunpoint by thugs......... Twice m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHfKYqKrn5JsjZo

[@maple3845]

How about the beginning of Dishonored? After taking out a bunch of assassins, Corvo just stands there silently while the Spymaster frames him for murder. Then, he does nothing to prevent getting bopped in the face by a guard.

[@JaxAntilles]

How about all those times that Joel was surprised in a Last of Us cutscene despite LITERALLY HAVING THE ABILITY TO HEAR PEOPLE THROUGH WALLS!

[@gregw01]

at the end of Frontline chapter in Metro 2033 Artyom got Knocked out and Beat up by TWO guards. after Killing Dozens of Enemies in the chapter all by Himself

[@PatrickLongblkwhtrbbt]

John Marston. Fort Mercer. And then his own damned barn. So much for home field advantage

[@mobiusfrost]

The opposite of this can also be annoying, where a hero is suddenly so badass in a cutscene that you're just, "why can't you do this during actual gameplay!?" Jack from Mass Effect two easily destroying giant supermechs is one example.

[@charimonfanboy]

Or a single asari shielding one of the biggest ships in the game with her biotics then causing a few missiles to rebound onto the original ship

First time I played Breath of the Wild: 'Oh wow, exiting this cave is amazing! The view from this cliff is just so good! Let's go down there and see what I can find.' Me five seconds later: 'Soo, fall damage is a thing in this game...'

[@ghoultooth]

Why has no one mentioned *fire camp* ?

[@mikeymike1792]

I'd like to bring up SO MANY Mass Effect cutscenes where Shepard, the best solider in the galaxy, forgets how to shoot straight: -Misses a scientist trying to destroy an asteroid so the reapers can arrive FROM 5 METRES. -Misses Kai Leng as he slowly runs away. -Sits calmly in a car that Leng is running around on top of. -Hides from a gunship that is identical to thousands he/she shot down.

[@fantasyfanperson]

Or if you're playing a biotic Shepard and they forget how to biotic in every cutscene even though the game keeps telling you they're a powerful biotic

[@NorielBenMiel]

I guess crossairs disappear in cutscenes

[@DerektheBard]

Every Assassin’s Creed game. There is always at least one fight per game where you are winning, then a cut scene interrupts where you suddenly stop attacking, the baddie gets the upper hand, and you lose the fight because the game says so.

[@biohazard724]

2 comes immediately to mind. A 23 year old fit enough to climb the outside of the Tower of Piza barehanded gets his ass handed to him by an obese 70 year old pope?

[@philippegauvin-vallee9371]

Black Flag. Usually only you and your (hired or rescued) crew swarm the deck of the ship you're boarding. But while I'm kicking ass above the main sail, a cutscene starts. I'm now back on the enemy ship deck next to my good friend Blackbeard. This guy was safely screaming from next to MY ship's wheel a split second ago. Now he is getting swarmed on the enemy deck and slashed in the back (and killed) by some opportunist. My character then stands there in shock and gets thrown into the sea by some brute.

Of all of these, the Twilight Princess one was the most annoying to me (mostly because it's the only one that I played through). I was EXCITED to fight those guys on the bridge. There wasn't enough straight up fights in Twilight Princess, which was a very puzzle-oriented game. I was looking forward to fighting all of those enemies like a badass. Then the bar-ber shop quartet shows up after being completely useless for most of the game and totally steal all of your kills. Then the game expects you to think "Oh, cool, I have backup!" but no. They don't show up again after that as far as I remember. They started as being useless, were only useful when you didn't want them, then returned to being useless right after. Thanks a lot, guys.

[@ImOblivious]

@@arekkrol9758 I'm with you on Jensen getting tossed at the start. That's out of his hands because he was not physically capable to handle that situation at the time. The panic room incident is very out of character, especially with the Jensen that I role played.

Star Wars KOTOR - during the first fight with Malak, in which, depending on your build, you're either effortlessly kicking his ass or just putting up a good fight, so, after finally dropping the main baddie's health low and almost finishing him off, your hero is tornado'ed in the air where he's helplessly swirling as one of your companions has to sacrifice themselves to save the useless cutscene-you.

[@brentage5000]

Sig Mar I'll also add the one where you have Shepard and three squad members versus Kai Leng on the Citadel and yet because Thane has to die for some reason, it can only be ninja vs ninja instead of ninja vs ninja and SPECTRE and two others

[@Acebender]

Another good one. Shep does literally nothing while Thane dies.

[@Myomer104]

Or, later, when Leng jumps on top of the police cruiser you're given. Instead of, say, flying close to one of the overpasses and scraping the bastard off, Shepard leans out of the car to shoot him with the starter pistol (presumably taken from under the car's dashboard), allowing Leng to stab the car's engine and knock you out of the air. ...In fact, I think we can summarize this as "Whenever Kai Leng shows up before the final battle in Mass Effect 3."

Ciri destroys his staff and ends the local frost, although she then has to teleport away.

[@loporina]

You know, in the new Tomb Raider games, Lara would have survived being thrown into a wall by a T-Rex with maybe a sore leg. Seriously, the amount of stuff Lara has survived. In the prologue to Rise of the Tomb Raider, she uses her pick ax to save herself from falling to her death 3 times. A move, each time, that would at least dislocate the shoulder of a normal person. Then there's the fall through the trees in both games which would result in many a broken rib. She somehow survived the rolling of a jeep with just a concussion that goes away as soon as you start to parkour around...can we just do a "The times that prove Lara Croft is immortal"?

Heh. Imagine a game where you actually did get injured from unreasonable grabs. That would be bloody hilarious. Game: "Nope! No more climbing for you, the entire game!

[@loporina]

I mean, that was, basically the old Tomb Raider games. Sure, she could make impossible jumps, but if you fell from a couple stories, you'd die. Unless it was into water. The new Tomb Raider, it's like Lara is a main character in a Fast & Furious movie or something.

[@Torthrodhel]

No I mean it should be way worse than that, and it shouldn't kill you so you get to try again - it should overwrite your save game and force you to carry on injured. :P I mean... falling into water from high enough up can kill you too. More of this please, games. Don't go so easy on us!

Endless Ocean: Blue World often tasks you with finding rare animals, lost treasures, easy-to-miss switches and animals so small you can only see them when they're inches away from your face. In short, you are encouraged to always be aware of your surroundings. Then, at night in Ciseros Straight, your player character is sneaked up upon. . . By a basking shark. A gigantic, slow-moving, completely harmless basking shark that you, the legendary diver who rediscovered a long lost castle and all the treasures within, somehow did not see until it swam a few inches in front of your face.

[@jaketheberge1970]

Idk if it counts but in the Dragonball Z Budokai games during the story mode no matter how badly you seem to defeat your enemy once a cut scene starts if the story says you didnt really win then too bad, time to wait for Goku. Like if you play as Krillin and and manage to defeat nappa without taking a single punch once the cut scene starts he's all like "Oh no this guys too strong. HELP ME GOKU SENPAI!"

[@LucianCanad]

Saint Seiya fighting games have those too. For some reason, you're required to beat two rounds against your opponent, even though "facing someone above your level and getting your ass kicked until the power of determination/friendship/loyalty/etc gives you a boost to surpass them" is kind of the story's whole shtick.

[@marhawkman303]

Ah, yes, it's a fight the game's story says you're supposed to lose, and if you WIN it has no choice but to pretend you lost.

[@Cloud575501]

Smackdown vs Raw 08, career mode. Dominate on your first wrestling match, then cut scene shows you rolling out of the ring hurt and your opponent, whos ass you just handled, is dandy and mocks you

[@sheolcodemonkey4027]

Woah woah woah, we're just going to forget about that moment in Fable II where you just stand there and let Lucien shoot you with only your soon-to-be-dead dog's body for protection, then once your beloved pet is dead you just continue to stand there and let him unload a round into your chest, all the while I'm there holding the controller thinking "Why can't I just drink a health potion or dodge or pull out my own gun/sword or blast him full of magic or anything at all?" ... I'm not bitter

Samus in Metroid Other M springs to mind when she sees Ridley and has a panic attack, even though canonically she's beaten him about three times at this point

[@lessermike8786]

Driven me crazy for years, that one!

[@TheOneTrueEfrate]

What is this other m you speak of? I Know of no such thing.

[@ashleyholston1058]

It actually makes a lot more sense if you understand the backstory... Samus has PTSD from Ridley wiping out her space colony right in front of her... She thought she was done with him after killing him for the third time (like you said) and blowing up the planet his body was on for good measure. Imagine how you would feel if the enemy that had haunted your nightmares for years, who you thought you had finally fully disposed of, suddenly reappears right in front of you... That's what happened in that game... which I think would have been a lot better if Nintendo had let Team Ninja do the "story" as well as the gameplay. Also, in terms of panic attack, she actually recovered fairly quickly considering how those things usually go.

[@Canadamus_Prime]

You can attempt to justify it all you want, but it's still stupid. Besides EVERYTHING was wrong with her character in that game.

[@azuredragoon2054]

Uh, no, not true. Other M was considered her prequel game, as in before she was a lone bounty hunter. So, by timeline, she should not have ever beaten Ridley once.

In rise of the tomb raider when dead eye crack shot Lara misses the headshot on Ana, and barely grazing her arm, before falling into the Greek fire storage

[@Torthrodhel]

Not to mention right at the end just after you dispose of Constantine, entire place crumbling around you so time is of the essence, there's Ana with a tiny squad nearly in posession of the magic rock of doom, all backs turned nobody sees you, clear line of sight... and you walk in and TALK to her instead? That was baffling!

what about every single cutscene in the new Lara Croft trilogy? She keeps on just getting seriously harmed! I know square-enix wants to make her look tough but that's over the top.

[@blondbraid7986]

Exactly, it's like the devs thought that dark and gritty = have the hero go through ten Eli Roth movies worth of torture porn in the cutscenes and then go full Rambo in the gameplay. And yet they thought dual wielding guns was too unrealistic for the reboot.

In Borderlands 2, I always found it aggravating how in Control Core Angel you just stand there and let Handsome Jack abduct Lilith rather than shoot them with one of the game's bazillion guns.

[@michaelmorton5698]

Expanding on this, you see something TELEPORTING in behind Roland and you can't even knock him out of the way, taking the bullets meant for him as Handsome Jack opens fire. Gearbox wasted a great opportunity for a boss fight where the Vault Hunters are not defeated but forced to escape via Lilith teleporting them out--after Roland is taken down by Jack shooting him in the chest instead of in the back.

Where is the borderlands 2 cutscene where Jack teleports in behind Roland? There's no way a badass vault hunter just stands there and doesn't do anything

[@stripeybag6977]

I feel like Far Cry 5 is far worse considering your character is constantly kidnapped even while in a helicopter or fighting a bear in the woods.

[@stripeybag6977]

I realize now what makes it worse is that they always contact you to tell you they are coming to kidnap you. Plus whichever gun for hire you have apparently does jack shit to help you.

[@iamaronman]

i feel like ubi missed a great opportunity for gameplay with that. I got excited thinking i could just avoid the hunters having fun in the process. But no, you end up just getting nicked and passing out or running out some timer and doing it anyways, it just got boring and every time they let me know the hunters were coming i would just get up and get a drink or snack or something.

In Borderlands 2, the very heavily armed player character(s) just stand there like a log when Handsome Jack shoots Roland in the back. There is more than enough time to make Jack look like swiss cheese like you've done without hesitation to every other enemy up to this point. Apparently Jack's monologue is too important to interrupt though

I have an extra one. On the second to last mission in Halo Reach when 6 is watching all those zealots climb on the gun to attack Emile he totally gets distracted by just a little bit of gunfire from the Phantoms turret. I would have kept shooting the zealots. A few lasers coming at me hardly damaging my Shields wouldn't make me have to put my arm in front of my face preventing me to shoot!
