8 Embarrassing Game Overs We Caused By Being Dumb

There’s no shame in getting a game over from losing a tough battle, or failing to complete a puzzle in time. There is, however, a lot of shame in getting one of these embarrassing game overs, where we managed to lose the game through stupidity, ineptitude or on one memorable occasion, pissing off a powerful vampire.

[@Mandalor10]

Jumping into the acid pit at the courthouse in Batman: Arkham City. I don't know what I was expecting to happen. But now Batman is dead and it's all my fault.

[@Archemetics]

Oh thank God I'm not the only one who did this

[@zalybrainlessgenius503]

The acid at the courthouse is fine - Try accidentally falling into the acid in the steamill! The whole stage resets

[@TheOrnyx]

@@zalybrainlessgenius503 that happened to me when I accidentally jumped. You also have to sit for 20 seconds as batman slowly sinks into the acid

[@manman079]

Or jumping into the lava in that one level that I can't remember

[@kevinmcgrath8310]

Absolutely first thing I did after doing harvey in 😂

[@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.

[@nickspencerfishingrodd2383]

[@freakboy186]

Isn't there a section in another Tomb Raider game where Lara dies by getting turned into gold because you climbed onto the hand of Midas? Pretty sure the golden rule when it comes to Midas is don't touch the hand.

[@Deus31415]

Yeah TR1, and Anniversary

[@frozenfoxgames5300]

Good pun

[@undyingsoul3949]

Already in the first game.

[@kjpdavies]

Wasn't that in the level named 'Saint Frances Folly'

[@AsrielofRose]

Oh I remember that. XD I did that when I was a little girl

[@sesmeltz1965]

My favorite is still romancing Morinth in Mass Effect 2. By the time you have the chance, you already know she's an Ardat-Yakshi, a deadly psychic vampire who kills her mates. What did you think would happen?!

[@coldpsyker1354]

Prey. You can jump into the helicopter blades at the very beginning of the game, and get an achievement from it.

[@narcspector]

Yeah that was a fun one. It's also in the other OutsideXbox list with the exact same name as this one, but two years later lol

[@shadeslayer8631]

I mean that’s not dumb it’s smart since achievement

[@kevcraft9852]

I remember watching the video that showed this, forgetting about it, playing Prey, do it by accident trying to see if I can break the game, remembering about it, and then laughing at myself in shame

[@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.

[@tomwatson6560]

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.

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@diobrando9685 It’s generally good practice to just not mix alcohol and medication. One person’s luck is another person’s death

All I want in life is for Andy to follow Jane around all day, narrating everything she does in the voice of The Stanley Parable narrator.

[@grezledragon]

"I stand by my decision." "Which is why I'm subjecting you to the most serious punishment I can think of." 4:51 great transition

[@ayanhaider303]

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.

[@TheOriginalOgaTatsumi]

Psychronia The good old double R2 to reload the weapon faster :v

[@TheOriginalOgaTatsumi]

Ayan Haider And what about standing on the swamp's mud to see how much you can sink?

[@aetheralmidknight3168]

Being unaware that geralt can't fall more than six feet without dying

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

Or Spartans sipping a teaspoon of water

[@MysticTheDarkElf]

He can, you just need to roll to break the fall.

[@normanellis8204]

Mystic Scribbles Of course most people can survive such falls without rolling.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

I can survive that. Though it isn't a pleasuring experience.

[@minervanightingale7808]

I mean... at least he's not Link, who can jump off the Empire State building and either deal with a minor footache for a bit or roll and avoid all damage whatsoever.

[@crowsenpai5625]

8:50 I remember the last time a omniscient AI told me they were throwing a celebration with cake...didn’t go well then either. GLaD to see AIs are all the same.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

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!

[@chaseteel251]

What about eating a fish in Nier Automata after being told that androids can't digest fish?

[@elijahdowell7679]

well actually that's an ending, so that shouldn't be counted. but if you do it twice, then you're bad

[@lasrohapanjaitan2914]

All endings after E is all shameful end for our androids fella. Especially Ending W

[@AnhVu-yn8dn]

[@TheThegoldenspatula]

Not really a game over though, since you immediately pop up at the nearest revive station with Jack laughing at you

[@biohazard724]

NotQuiteEnglish reviving at the New-U station is functionally Borderlands' game over screen. Jack mocking you is what makes it a special event

[@TheThegoldenspatula]

biohazard724 Well I disagree because the game isn’t over, it just revives your character to carry on as if nothing happened. Borderlands, like every other game that uses an autosave or checkpoint system, doesn’t have a game over screen

[@Jessie_Helms]

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.

[@darkestknight9038]

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.

[@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.

[@conormartin3476]

What about in new Vegas in the Sierra madres vault, you are very clearly and specifically told never to open this one particular message on the terminal, if you open it the vault seals forever with you inside it.

[@narcspector]

Oh shit I forgot about that...or maybe I didn't know. I'm huge into New Vegas so I feel like I'd know this

[@eve5558]

I did that, and I ended up permanently breaking the DLC in that playthrough by using the TCL console command to escape. I don't have a save from before that, but I'll keep that in mind for future playthroughs.

[@bluebomber81]

Starting at about 1:37 I can't be the only one who thinks Lara's mouth seems to sync with Jane's speaking.

[@scorpix96]

Voluntarily walking off a cliff, to see if an invisible barrier will save you. Going from kid games to "regular" games was a tough time...

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

scorpiñator Those aren't exclusive to kids games.

[@3DMegadoodoo]

Quite the opposite experience if you were a kid in the 80s. But if you were, you're old now which is, unfortunately, worse than having had a tough time with video games at some point :( It's a lose-lose scenario!

Mass Effect 2 - Suicide Mission If you do all the wrong choices and don't do any of the extra missions you'll kill everyone including yourself on the suicide mission and Joker is the only one who'll survive. Not exactly a Game Over, but a Game Over for your character.

Of course not, but then again I was brought up to respect my "Elders" and if I learned anything from Anime, it doesn't pay to be on the wrong end of tentacles.

[@lnsflare1]

You don't get more old money than being a representative of the Golden Ones from the eras before time. If that's not "high society" enough for you, her "eyes" are just a pair of monacles held in place by the vacuum force produced by the infinite void of her true form which is housed within her questionably mortal shell.

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?

[@Aska2468]

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.

[@src248]

That was the first ending I got and therefor the true canonical ending. I don't think I even meant to, it was just "can I use my gun here?" pulls trigger. Instant cutscene of everyone dying. Oops?

[@normanellis8204]

It's more of an "I die free" sort of ending.

[@markbutcher7900]

What about the Fallout: New Vegas Dead Money death where the courier gets locked in the vault forever because you read the message that was meant for Vera

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.

[@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

There's a few of these in Super Paper Mario. You can refuse to save the world in the introduction, you can fall for Mimi pretending to be Merlee, or you can refuse to wear a space helmet in space. The first and third of these require quite a bit of persistence, though you're rewarded with some hilarious dialogue so it's not too bad.

[@ceciliaxx]

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.

[@terminidwithinternetaccess]

[@Bombom1300]

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.

[@malkilroy]

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.

@@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.
