7 Ridiculous Ways You Screwed With Cutscenes

Sure, cutscenes are important and yes, you should probably pay attention to them, but sometimes the temptation to mess around mid-cutscene is too great, whether that means running in circles, fiddling with a teleporter, or zooming the camera up somebody's nose. Consider seven ways we amused ourselves in cutscenes and subscribe for a list like this one every Thursday.

In Deadly Premonition, there is a hidden hygiene mechanic. If you don't occasionally go back to your hotel room and switch/clean your suit, main character Francis York Morgan starts attracting flies. You are unlikely to notice this until one of the major cutscenes where York gives a speech to the whole community, which I remember none of because I was transfixed by the flies zooming around York like some sort of disgusting model of the solar system.

In the Bayonetta 1 port on Nintendo Switch, if you have Bayonetta wear her Samus cosplay, you can press down on the D-Pad to shift her visor up and down. Once I realized you could do that in cutscenes I ruined any tension their could be by constantly shifting the visor throughout the entire scene lol.

Smooth like a rat pup. My friend and I must have died laughing over that for at least an hour during those long pause moments in dialogue, where everyone's just kinda awkwardly shifting around silently.

In Red Dead Redemption 2 [beware: spoilers], I found out by accident that during the mission in which John proposes to Abigail, if you take out your revolver, if glitches John to keep it in his hand at all times, including throughout cutscenes. John holding doors for Abigail and waving her through, helping her onto the row boat, and proposing to her, are turned from romantic wholesome gestures into unnerving scenes of John forcing Abigail to endure the date at gunpoint 😅

[@mediarare2386]

Small addition to the third example. In Red Dead Online my friends and I had a lot of fun with lassos. Including catching me during a cutscene and dragging my flailing butt out of the building while the NPC keeps talking.

[@deadtotheworld22]

A generally underrated feature for the end of the first AC game is that in the final point before the final confrontation in the Masyaf garden, you can still dick around in Al Mualim's study with full camera control, the only issue being that they put an invisible wall at the front of the desk. This means that with a bare minimum of wiggling the sticks, you can press Altair up against it, move the camera around, and congratulations, you've discovered the move of 'mime in a glass box' over 900 years before the birth of Marcel Marceau....

[@greywardengaming5148]

During Dragon Age: Origins, I like to take equipment from party members that will either die or dissappear during the next cut scene. While this is mostly to sell their stuff, it's great during the Joining. If you take Sir Jory's clothes he's in underwear and pulls a sword out of nowhere

[@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968]

I do this in any RPG I know a companion will die or will not be a companion for long. I know Ser Jory only wears leather armour but money is hard to come by in DA:O and I need to buy backpacks which are 7 gold each.

@Pulse Fel well I mean, he doesn't start the cutscene with it. It just appears on his back when Duncan approaches him lol

[@CharterForGaming]

I always did this too xD

[@rcicci]

My headcanon for that particular scene is that Duncan knew Ser Jory didn't have what it took to be a Grey Warden, so he told him "everyone needs to be naked for The Joining" as a little rib

[@poxrael]

My personal favorite is in breathe of the wild where the game cutscenes show link reacting stoicly in whatever ridiculous outfit you put him in. Nothing takes the seriousness out of the king Rhome reveal like a half naked link with a constantly twitching skeleton hand on his back. I finished the game and got the cathartic thrill of Zelda reuniting with Majora's masked luchador skeleton boyfriend.😂😂😂 Good times!

[@feathersflight]

In Dragon Age Origins, if you want to keep the other Warden candidates' gear, you have to strip them before starting the Joining. That means that during that intense, meaningful cutscene, they both die in their underpants. I'm not sure it's worth the money you get from selling their gear.

[@Darcnhife]

It was a ritual where you drink blood from a goblet. Something about that in near nude also seems... sensible to me for some reason... The solution is to take your clothes off as well. Then it's just normal blood-ingesting ritual.

I love in Fallout 4 you can bring enemies with you and then start a conversation, while not technically a cutscene it is funny to watch the chaos unfold in the background while having a calm conversation.

[@FredCDobbs-rd5wi]

In the original Mass Effect 2, the Arrival DLC concludes with a cutscene of Commander Shepard talking to Admiral Hackett. If you were playing as the female version of Shepard and equipped the cocktail dress from the Stealing Memories DLC as Shepard's default outfit while aboard the spaceship Normandy, the conversation between Shepard and Hackett would have her sitting in a decidedly unladylike manner, one that would allow the admiral to see right up her dress. It was pretty funny given the serious nature of the conversation. Alas, the developers spotted this and in the Legendary Edition forced Shepard to wear a different, more formal outfit in the scene.

12:10 It would be insanely hilarious if Valve had in fact programmed a miniscule chance of the teleport working, thus cutting off a third of the game just for shits and giggles. In that case, Gordon would've been greeted by the cast on the other side, taught how to use Gravity Gun by also successfully transported Alyx, and then the same attack would've started that necessitated Ravenholme excursion, but in the dawn, not nighttime. Just imagine the confusion of that handful of people who would've experienced successful teleportation in their play-throughs.

[@maisaranki6236]

In Sly 2: Band of Thieves, while playing as Sly, if you jump above a job waypoint and press Triangle to ground slam onto it, Sly's hat will be floating above his head during the job's introductory Binocucom call. I used to chuckle at it all the time as a kid!

[@jtpotts617]

One of my favorites was in the original Sapienza level for Hitman. If you manipulated an NPC to be standing in the middle of the road leading out of town, then used the car getaway, you would run them over in the cutscene.

[@christophernixon2919]

Ah man, don't know how none of the crazy stuff in Fallout 4 were talked about. Getting mini-nuked in a cut scene is hilarious.

In Dragon Age Origins, the mage route takes you to the Fade (a kind of spirit world) at the very start. The boss managed to get me on fire right before I killed it, after which my character returned to the real world for a long cut scene, somehow still on fire.

The cutscenes in Stardew Valley multiplayer are pretty similar to Dead Island in that players not involved in your cut scene can still totally photobomb it.

"Played as an NPC: Talking to Yourself." A number of games allow you to play as NPC's or don NPC skins. If cutscenes with the npc as whom you're playing render in engine, then you can end up with some funny results. For instance, there's the infamous Mary Jane cheat code from the video game adaptation of Tobey Maguire's first Spider-Man movie. The Marvel: Ultimate Alliance series also does this a lot with New Game +. Finally, there are the hoops the first Viewtiful Joe jumped through with the Sylvia, Alistair, and Blue playthrough modes.

Using an enemy randomizer in Dark Souls 1 is still by far my favourite way of messing with the cutscenes, because whenever there's a cutscene that features enemies (except for the Centipede Demon I think), it actually uses the model of whatever is replacing the enemies normally present there, and it's a 50/50 shot between the funniest thing you've seen in a while and a mess of polygons obscuring half of the screen.

[@TheOneWhoSucks388]

Also in Goldeneye, it was possible to slightly tilt the cartridge in the slot and it would make the models ragdoll and spin wildly. Probably not good for the game or console, absolutely good for livening up the awkward Bond and Natalya make out scene during the end credits.

One of my favorites one is in Sleeping Dogs, where if you finished the Year of the Snake DLC, you got a SWAT uniform you could wear...even in a new game, so you could be in an early cutscene where a major NPC is talking about a snitch in the crime gang...while you're wearing a LITERAL COP UNIFORM.

Perfect Dark does the same thing as Goldeneye though generally everything and not just the player character was invincible. Still amusing in the villa level not opening the door completely and throwing loads of knives into Carrington, then loading the cutscene. ‘Sir are you injured?’. While filled with knives, being blown up by mines and bleeding everywhere ‘No Joanna, I’m okay”. As for Goldeneye my favourite is placing an explosive in just the right place in archives so when Bond and Natalya run out and pose arms folded, the explosive going off in the background kills Natalya while posing.

[@azuredragoon2054]

I gotta throw out Phantasy Star Online 2 as an honorable mention here. While it is an Action MMORPG, it has one of the most detailed and robust character creators and there's a ton of accessories, large and small, that you can add. And that last bit is occasionally a problem. This tends to be an issue with wings, but other accessories at larger sizes and certain placement can also get in the way. The Camera will end up in a position where an accessory will block the view, causing you to see... mostly part of an accessory instead of the intended scene.

[@DirgeTV]

Some of The Bond scenes just absolutely look badass with the explosives. Favorite one for me is where he's captured, the way the music plays as everyone dies while he just crosses his arms is just menacing. Its Agent 47 levels of badassery. And the the scene with Desmond being attacked while the cutscene plays out in Assassin's Creed has no reason for being this hilarious or cool.

[@meamya9598]

I remember i was playing AC Unity and I had gotten to the scene where Arno takes off his hood to prove to Elise he is not just an assassin, but her friend/lover.

[@JoshTigerheart]

Turok Evolution was... it was a game that happened. However, on the Juggernaut level there's a (very janky) cutscene towards the end with you meeting the big bad. But, if you want, you can make it even more hilarious by setting the flamethrower to napalm mode and filling the entry way of the cutscene room with fire. Cue the cut-scene starting, player character Tal'Set strolling in confidently, stepping into the flames, and then immediately running around screaming while on fire before finally dying roughly halfway into the scene. Said scene will continue unabated and won't actually impact the player's health.

[@SolaScientia]

Mike's "too sad about the world ending" in response to them not doing that in The Last US and how he delivered it made me giggle. Categorically not a cutscene that would have made it on the list at all, but I like how you have brief control of your character in the Age of Dark ending for Dark Souls 3. Players have the option to kill the Firekeeper as she's extinguishing the flame and take it for themselves.

Also in Goldeneye, using one of the 2-controller schemes lets you shoot during cutscenes, giving you another way to kill people during the end of a level.

I used to screw with cutscenes in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City by seeing if I could tell exactly where on the open world it would play out, then parking a car in the middle of it.

There are many ways to mess with cutscenes in Dead Rising 3. When you go to fight Dylan in the back room/movie studio in the adult shop he tries to get you to join in on the festivities to which Nick refuses. My favourite thing to do is to wear the S&M Outfit into this fight. Nothing is funnier than Nick saying "I'm not into this" when dressed head to toe in shiny black rubber.

For Goldeneye, when you leave the library, the cutscene when you exit shows Bond and Natalya running to the end of the alley and posing for the camera. If you set normal mines next to the windows in the library, and place a timed mine on the far right window, then wait a couple of seconds before exiting, the timed mine will detonate the others in sequence, and blow Natalya out of the frame.

The Overwatch Halloween event. When they villains make their entrances you can totally steal their thunder by jumping on emoting right in front of them

Funhaus had a great one with Ravens Cry where you can push a character before talking with another character and they'll start pushing the protagonist out of the cutscene conversation

Any good lego game. You have the option to add the funny glasses and mustache to all in game characters. Kept me laughing through many lego games.

Screwing with your customized character in street fighter 6 demo is hilarious especially if you maxed out everything

"Am I right? I am right." 😂 I love Jane. lmao

My sister and I played Halo 4 Spartan Ops and were careless with a rocket launcher near the end. It went into a cutscene and the rocket hit a marine, causing her to vanish. No deathsplosion, she just disappeared, softlocking the mission. We had to do it over.

The fact that Asura's Wrath isn't in this 'cutscenes destroyer' lineup is a crime!

Shoutout to Dragon Age Inquisition for putting in every cutscene whatever equipment the characters have for allowing me to make all the pretty people wear the ugliest mist abhorrent outifts ever

[@Wulfenburg]

oh damn, that's actually really cool you can change outfits mid cutscene, there's so many times i get into a cutscene wishing I was in something more fitting for the current situation.

In metal gear rising: revengeance, i never listen to monsoon explain memes or whatever because I'm always too focused on the guard to the right who plays with a stray kitten.

This video is hilariously awesome!

[@Nameless.Hermit]

I had a weird one in arkham knight: doing a penguin stash raid with nightwing I stood right in the corner of the room near the back to blow it up, and for some reason it doubled nightwing, I was then able to take control of one of them and talk to the other one as if it was batman lmao

This video was the one to fill my dark soul with LIGHT!!

[@TheFluffyDinoTTV]

Surprised you didn't include the Monsoon scene from Metal Gear Rising Revegeance. I love that in the middle of Monsoon's big speech on the power of memes, you can completely ignore him to watch a guard pet a cat.

[@NovumDoesObservation]

I love messing with cutscenes using whatever silly clothes I've acquired at that point. In BOTW, for example, using any of the monster masks, or the rubber armor, or just stripping down entirely so I'm greeting the long dead spectre of Revali in just some undies.

[@DefenderTerrarian]

A fun, though unfortunately undoable anymore, cutscene thing is in Borderlands 1. At the final fight against The Destroyer, it used to be that if you left the game right after entering the final area, and rejoining gives you control of your character back while the cutscene is going, so you can run around in the background while the suposed final boss monologues in the foreground.

Similar to Jedi Survivor, the Tales franchise of RPGs (Tales of Zestiria, Berseria, Arise etc,) use the in game models during most cutscenes. This means that whatever additional costume or accessories you have equipped will be reflected in those cutscenes. My go to is usually the fake moustache & monocle combo for everyone in the party! Bonus points to Andy for making Cal look like "Dirty" Dom Mysterio hehe
