7 Videogame Vacations That Went Horribly Wrong

[@imp360]

The himmapan hotel in hitman. It boasts being a 5-star hotel with a beautiful view but it's staff is very rude. some bellhop bumped into me with nary a word of apology and then a waiter ( who, thinking back, kind of looked like the bellhop) grabbed and choked me from behind and when I came to I was naked in a wardrobe. never did get those clothes back.

[@marhawkman303]

Did you wake up to find yourself awkwardly laying on top of a waitress? Which was doubly awkward because I'm pretty sure i woke her up by trying to climb off her... badly. I slipped and tried to catch myself… yeah.. no prizes for gentlemanly conduct there.

Novelist and his young daughter are just visiting a town for a quiet getaway, ends up in a living nightmare where the fabric of reality is slowly crumbling away as monstrous animals and bugs begin appearing, all while the sky is either foggier than a morning after a heavy thunderstorm, or darker than the deepest ocean floors. Steambot Chronicles could also count, since the main character was basically visiting the game's location for a little R&R, only to end up having the ship he's on get blown up, winding up with amnesia, and targeted by numerous thugs and evil organization because they didn't bother to ID check the guy they were really after.

Or how about a nice fishing holiday like the start of Time Crisis 3? About twenty seconds fishing before you are sent guns blazing into combat? A cruise might be nice.

After doing everything else possible in the game Mass Effect 3, Shepard finally takes her/his shore leave before going to the illusive man’s base (do want Miranda at the party after all). Going out to a delicious dinner with Joker, Shepard ends up falling through the fish tank. No Medi-gel, low ammo and quite a walk through hostile enemies before finally finding a companion (your love interest if she/he’s a squad member, Samantha’s not) to help. You also get help from Wrex, if you didn’t kill him on Virmire or the Citadel (if you sabotage the cure) 🤣. And that’s just the first mission of shore leave

Camping is simply... the worst. I was forced to do it as a kid (my dad was a real outdoors-man type). However, it did save my life once. I was hiking with my brother-in-law on Pike's Peak (hiking with NO intention of camping); however, we were caught up in a blizzard that can suddenly pop up on the mountain (weather reports in the 80s were shit). Anyhoo... I told my brother and law to head for an area above us with a rock outcrop which would be our best chance for shelter and to look for twigs and branches on the way. Sure enough, we found the perfect little outcrop that had a giant slab of rock on top. It was nearly tall enough to stand in and was perfect for waiting out the storm. We built a fire (we both smoked at the time so we both had a lighter, otherwise we would have been fucked) and we found enough fallen wood to keep it going all night. And I wouldn't have known any of that shit without my dad having taught me. But still, camping sucks... I think I would have gleefully welcomed the odds of freezing to death that day had it meant I could have avoided all those "educational" camping trips as a kid. Other than this one which occurred around 1987, and which I was forced into without choice, I've only gone on one other camping trip (somewhere around 2005), and I immediately regretted it. I swore I would never go on another and, to date, I've held to that conviction. Edit to add: my dad also taught me how to make traps and snares, so if it ever comes down to it, I know how to eat a raccoon... ostensibly.
