8 Embarrassing Game Overs We Caused By Being Dumb

[@DiscountOstrich]

Not that I've ever done it, because that would be pretty dumb, but how embarrassing would it be to die because you wanted to check if the game had fall damage?

[@hugofontes5708]

how else would you know, right?

[@minervanightingale7808]

It's safe to assume that if a games target audience is above the age of eight then yes, your character will take fall damage.

[@iamnobody7044]

Discount Ostrich " *Boots up the game* Hmmm... I wonder if... *Hop* *Crack* Heey! I broke my... whole body. So yeah! There is fall damage!" -Me. Always

[@ApMignonne]

Obilivion: Died while trying to level up my jump skill, because breaking your legs to the point where you just nearly die is the quickest way to do so. So many times.

[@KingFishOcean]

I wish Fahrenheit was on the list. There was a game over where you can take painkillers then drink alchohol which would result in the character dying.

[@Tdog267]

That happened to me lol

[@HP-ej3bo]

"and that's how my story ends"

[@diobrando9685]

depends on how many painkillers you take. I took middle strong one and drank some Vodka. Had a lot of fun that night. And I slept so hard that people put chewing gum in my nose and a Chickenwing in my mouth and I did not wake up. Good times.

Yeah The Phantom Pain one was incredibly embarrassing, but not nearly as much as when you take the Fake Death pill in Snake Eater, then forget to take the revival and then die for reals.

[@frodobaggins7710]

I completely forgot about the revival pill, which is why it took longer than it should've to get past the section with the Sorrow

[@WeirdowithaDjembeo]

When I first played MGS3, I didn't know about the Revival pill and never used the fake death pill. When I got to the Sorrow, it took me weeks to get through him.

[@psychronia]

Ayan Haider I actually used the Fake Death Pill to forcibly redo an area or reload my save when I was doing my No Alert run. Easily my most valuable item next to the tranq.

Morrowind. A guy drops out of the sky and dies. He has scrolls and a journal about wanting to fly. What can go wrong? Either "SPLAT!" or ending up in international waters. Somewhere, Azura is face-palming.

[@lordnul1708]

Fighting mud crabs with a bow and playing it like early final fantasy games where bows didn't need arrows to work and you just pissed off the entire starting town so nobody's gonna sell you anything.

[@Robidu1973]

The point is, you have three such scrolls. If you fire up one, take a leap, and before you crash onto the ground you fire up another one *with less than seven seconds until impact* on the clock, you are going to land safely.

[@persephoneunderground845]

​@Robidu1973 Yes! Those scrolls teach you how to think in Morrowind logic. If you just use them without thinking, you die. Figure out the timing or combine with a featherfall spell and they're epic. I usually hung onto them for use during the famous "travel across the map under a vow of silence" pilgrimage quest. If I wanted to mix things up from using the speed levitation blessing you could get from a nearby shrine for that instead. Get clever and the game rewards you. See also: Boots of Blinding Speed + a resist magic spell when equipping them. Anyway, you just reminded me how much I love that game!

It’s not exactly a game over, but in Fallout New Vegas you can ‘bother’ Caesar too much. After asking something 3 times when he has a headache he sicks his entire entourage on you; unless you’re super heavily armed, armored, and have a boatload of chems, you’re dead. Added bonus: your companions are waiting outside & it’s a hard skill check to get meds in, so you’re alone & have no healing.

[@darkestknight9038]

Justin Helms They take your weapons too, if you not high in sneak. And your medicine if you don't pass a speech check.

[@Jessie_Helms]

Darkest Knight yeah, so unless you head there with Boone and Rex with intent to kill you’re probably going to get spanked harder than Africa with The Rains.

Justin Helms Companions aren't even allowed in the tent if you annoy him. So your best option is to run unless you just get hammered and stunned early. Then You're fucked

[@gblakney1]

I actually found a little cheat that SOMEHOW worked when I took cover inside a wagon and just shot at them, all in relative safety, except one of them was right next to the wagon and scored a couple of hits while I was in the wagon, but I managed to kill the entire group from the safety of the wagon before jumping out and killing the one right next to it cuz I couldnt hit him from INSIDE the wagon...I also think we hit each other with Power Gauntlets at the same time and I BARELY survived with like barely 5 hp at the end while HIS corpse went flying in several pieces. XD it was so epic and yet so hilarious at the same time.

You don't get more old money than being a representative of the Golden Ones from the eras before time.

You guy's didn't cover the full story for "The Stanley Parable"! If you attempt to use "sv_cheats 1" a second time after you are sent to the serious room, you get sent there again. As a "reward", you get another stern lecture, an even *longer* sentence, and the Narrator even goes so far as to remove the table from the Serious Room. (I think you may be able to do a third time, but I can't recall if it's possible or what the consequences are...)

[@ceceliaacaba2739]

Dat-Mudkip I was thinking about that!

[@ninjapanda454]

I don't think that's the most embarrassing game over in the Stanley parable. The most embarrassing one is where you jump off that platform and fall to your death. You dont even think about the possible consequences, you just think "hey I wonder what would happen if i jumped off this thing." Then splat.

[@ceceliaacaba2739]

Ninja Panda no long Fall Boots for Stanley

[@Dat-Mudkip]

To be fair, that's the only way to get out of that scene...so you're kinda stuck with that choice. The "best" part about that whole ending is that the Narrator is pleading for Stanley to listen to reason, and the fall isn't even enough to kill Stanley; he has to jump off the ledge three separate times!

[@ninjapanda454]

Dat-Mudkip the fall I was talking about was from the moving platform. Theres no railing to prevent you from jumping off the first time you get on it so most people think huh i wonder if I can jump off this, they then walk off the edge half expecting there to be an invisible wall to stop you. The one you talking about if funny to, it's just that this one is one that you could completely miss, the only ones that get this game over are the ones that get this game over are the player that look at a two story drop of instant death and wonder "will I die if I jump off" and then jump

[@predator5775]

I remember my first time playing Disgaea when I lost to the boss at the very beginning of the game. Needless to say it made me feel stupid when all of a sudden the boss himself was surprised he won and gloated while the credits rolled.

Have you ever played a Sierra adventure game? Let me tell you, there's no game over more embarrassing than falling off of a staircase when you're literally one screen from completing the game. Curse you, King's Quest 2...

[@JStryker47]

That's how you can tell, in King's Quest 4, that Genesta is the good fairy. She's the only castle owner whose stairs have banisters.

[@Stratelier]

There are so many possible deaths in the old Sierra games it's impossible to pick any of them for this list. Get locked in a room with a descending ceiling without the one item that can rescue you (which, btw, was thirty screens and eight puzzles ago)? Too bad, that's 90s videogame design for ya! ... Well, actually, there IS one I can think of. In the escape pod in Space Quest 1, there is a middle button on the console that the game tells you is clearly labeled "DO NOT PUSH". Nonetheless, you CAN push the button ... only for the pod to crashland in a different Sierra game and kill you upon impact.

[@chrisninety1]

My favourite Sierra death was at the very beginning of Rise of the Dragon, whereby if you leave your apartment without having put your clothes on first, you get arrested for public indecency.

[@Phlebas]

Reminds me of mis-clicking while climbing the Cliffs of Logic in KQ6. I'm sensing a theme.

[@JStryker47]

Stratelier Actually, they did cover that Space Quest one in another video. And to be fair, if you went to the winged ones in KQ6 and already had all the items you needed, the game would let you know by having Alexander say "I am ready." when the king warns him about the dangers in the catacombs.

[@louckykoneko]

[@orionslaver432]

The 'hidden' fourth ending to Mass Effect 3 is one of my favourites. After three epic games spent fighting the Reapers and their indoctrinated minions, Shepard is given a choice - how to end the Reaper cycle, once and for all. The illustrious Commander's solution - "I'll use my gun!" It goes as well as you'd think.

[@timothymclean]

Hey, his gun worked on every other dangerous alien he'd encountered. Okay, sometimes he had access to much bigger guns, but you do what you can with what you get, you know?

You haven't finished the sentence. "I'll use my gun on this projection of a kid which has no physical body."

[@marhawkman303]

If the indoctrination theory is correct, the ending where you shoot the holographic kid is actually the closest thing the game has to a GOOd ending.

When I heard “Embarrassing Game Overs”, I thought there’d definitely be a Dark Souls entry. I’m specifically thinking of the original one, when you land on Firelink Shrine. The first NPC you meet is the Crestfallen Warrior, who tells you where to go and what to do. Unless you attack him. Then he goes batsh*t and starts attacking you. At that level, you probably haven’t got a chance, so you’ll probably die, to which he says “How embarrassing. You actually let me do that to you?” in the most smug voice imaginable. When you respawn... He’s right there, still batsh*t. And he’ll continue to be until you either kill him or run away. And if you kill him, he doesn’t respawn. Ever. I personally made this more humiliating, because I had bait him to the edge of a cliff, then fall off. At least he followed me. Now I’ve got 20+ deaths, no idea where to go, and humiliated for the rest of my life.

You know, of all the wrong turns people have made at the start of Dark Souls, that might be the most wrong one I've ever heard. But that certainly makes it a unique experience! I hope you still managed to figure out what to do next. It's a fun game once you find a way to go forward! Also @office chair, exactly how many first time players of Fromsoft-style games are going to be able to parry him consistently enough to whittle him down in their first 5 minutes of Lordran? My guess is, like, maybe 5 or 6 prodigies, but otherwise that's not really viable.

@@lordnul1708 that's really not how video games are made. Certainly not ones that big. He will have a broad creative vision, but so much of that work belongs to the artists, designers and programmers that actually created it.

[@lordnul1708]

@@DocRobotnik that's literally what "put it together and brought it to life" means. Miyazaki both wrote and directed it MAKING him the creator, but as you said it's the artist, voice actors and most importantly programmers that put the whole thing together and breathe life into it. Direct comparison: Dungeons & Dragons, especially the "default" setting of The Forgotten Realms a setting that makes BotW, Elder Scrolls and all of Soulsborne combined look like a half meter diameter kiddie pool by comparison). Gary Gygax created it (and later brought others into the creative fold to add to an already existing world), but it was the additional creative talents as well as the players that gave it life and Another direct comparison: Star Wars. George Lucas created it, the cast and crew brought it to life and pulled it all together. Across all forms of media, it's the same principle. If the writer and director are the same person, they're the creator no ifs ands or buts. The illustrators give visual representation, actors have the duty of portrayal OF the characters and lastly programmers to make sure everything works. And one more, William Shakespeare wrote and directed his plays, but the actors, costume designers and prop makers brought it to life.

The dumbest move to cause a Game Over in Dishonored is at the very first area, Dunwall Tower (prior to meeting with the queen and witnessing her assassination). As you scout around the area and notice High Overseer Campbell having his portrait painted, you will trigger a Game Over with the phrase, "You committed a capital offense," if you walk from Campbell to (and over) the area immediately to the painter's right side (possibly where he keeps his canvases). Upon doing this action, a piano sound will occur, Campbell will start to talk, blood drops will appear near the lower right side of the screen, and the Game Over Message will appear.
