[@Logan9NightYT]

Batman arkham asylum was partly covered but another 4th wall break is when riddler acuses you of looking up things on the internet."that one was imposible to find Batman are you looking up my riddles online."

[@CaptainMarvelsSon]

I always loved "annoyed Sonic" from the original game when you stopped moving. He tapped his foot and look at you as if to say "wtf man! Let's go!"

My favourite 4th wall break is that line from Conker's Bad Fur Day. "I will be king, didn't you see the prologue" made me laugh.

[@NickJR528]

"What?"

[@SteffLoui88]

one of my all time favorite games, even have a tattoo of him on my arm

[@Goldtiger142003]

Absolutely nothing on this list even remotely compares to Psycho Mantis. That dude was one of a kind. Deadpool doesn't count since that's his entire thing, so when a serious game (well, "serious") suddenly whipped out a fight where you had to fight alongside yourself, that was impressive.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

"Raiden, turn the game console off right now! The mission is a failure! Cut the power right now! Don't worry it's a game. It's a game just like usual." "You'll ruin your eyes playing so close to the TV." "I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!"

[@brunotorres9669]

I'm sooo glad Earthbound is here. Besides the praying for us thing, there are a lot of other 4th wall breaks, like the tip moles telling about the screen flashes, the arcade punk telling you to go back there once you finished Earthbound (which is funny since you can't finish the game without getting through him), and a billboard in fourside telling about the meeting about Earthbound 2

[@sin_pyro]

The Arkham Asylum Scarecrow sequences were some of the best in gaming.

[@yamigekusu]

Conker's Bad Fur Day's ending has to be one of the most depressing endings I have experienced in gaming. Yeah, there's the interesting fourth-wall break, but damn... it hit me with an emotional gut punch I wasn't expecting :(

[@kapheene]

Exactly! Like in the end he had it all and yet had nothing. It could have been a perfect villain origin story

[@0DeathTheKid15]

My favorite 4th. wall break in gaming was actually not a scene at all but a part of the lore. I speak of a part of the Destiny 2 Lore. The Ahamkara, to REALLY oversimplified it, are dragons that even after death grant wishes but allways with a bad/evil twist, while whispering in your head driving you insane. A indication that one is in your mind and influences you is when they talk to you with a phrase like "O Warrior mine..." or " O Killer mine...." and so on. While reading some Lore about them they talk about wanting to be free and adress the player as "O Player mine..." Implying that they not only know that they are in a game but that they see the player and since you heard the "O Player mine..." Phrase are probably allready in your head.

[@actualchrisreid]

My favorite 4th wall breaks growing up were in Sly Cooper. Sly sarcastically making fun of the controls to Bentley in the first game.

[@andrewhaase1826]

Honorable Mentions: *Basically Non-Existent - Hyperdimension Neptunia Series -This game LOVES to reference other video games, and in the first game, there's even moment which goes "Should I just wait for more text boxes to appear?" *The Worst Twist In Video Game History - Star Ocean 3 -Yeah, it turns out the whole story is just a video game. This has been wrong in other media like Asgard's Wrath and Dragon Quest: Your Story (seriously, why would anyone think copying this was a good idea?). But this has been done right in other media, such as... *The Entire Game - The Simpsons Game -OK, THIS is the Star Ocean 3 plot twist done right! The Simpsons realize their life is a video game. And it was discovered as early as the second level!

[@mechajason]

I gotta be honest but when I was playing the Arkham Asylum game for the very first time I legitimately freaked out thinking that the game had broken and then I was like oh my God thank God

[@AllyOJustice]

What about Bravely Second? Several characters stare directly into the camera and either ask you for help, make fun of you or scold you for your actions.

[@billman__1010]

Don't discount the first game as well- same ideas, after all.

[@megadong2398]

[@CapeRides]

Psycho Mantis tormented my childhood...I can still hear that laugh hahaha I can't breathe!

[@loganstribling6441]

In resident evil 7, Lucas will let you know if your health meter is low during the barn fight with the fat molded.

[@sakurakitsunestar]

When it comes to things that should get a reboot/revive it's definitely eternal darkness on the top of my list

[@petermiller4953]

Absolutely what I've been saying too! That game was just too damn good! It's a crime, really, that they haven't brought it back! I mean, Shadowman was given the remaster it so badly needed, so why not Eternal Darkness?

[@ricardostormsurgesilva284]

The fourth wall break that stood out to me the most definitely had to belong to Splatoon 2's Octo expansion, mainly because agent. It looked at the camera and then smiles at you. The player that always gets me tearing up with joy sadness

[@whitedevilgaming9240]

My favorite 4th wall break is actually from Dragon Ball FighterZ with Whis at the end of the first story arc asks the player if they wanna learn more, and to play the other story arcs in order to learn more.

[@cadeevans4623]

He's not called Psycho Mantis for nothing.

[@psychomantis3981]

Excellent number 1 pick.

[@mikecabral2420]

One more recent one that I laughed at was in KH3. When Axel/Lea is going to be killed he snarks," do you know how many people back home I've got rooting for me." This works on two levels due to Axel's popularity since he was introduced in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories but also he was originally planned to be killed off in KH2 but due to his popularity they decided to keep him in the series. So he is basically saying I'm way too popular to be killed off.

[@VenniVenomous]

No original Sonic toe tapping!?! That was the first 4th time all break I ever saw in a video game! Classic!

[@marcusyates3044]

Mario VS Sonic! Spryo VS Crash! Resident Evil VS Dead Rising!

[@arctistarfox]

I have a small one from the Ratchet and Clank Reboot (2016). At one point in the game, our heroes are forced to follow a plumber character around through one of the levels. It’s very difficult to notice, but right before the plumber slides down a pipe and disappearing he says, “See you next Reboot!” (Or something to that effect) It’s not acknowledged in-game (Ratchet’s next line talks about the plumber sliding down the pipe), but it’s a neat little reference to the fact that the game is a reboot of the 2002 original.

[@RobbieLugos]

I’d love to see a fourth wall break where a movie or TV show has an unofficial “made for piracy version”, in which a character makes a joke about they’re in an individual scene from a KZbin video as opposed to being in the full movie or show.

[@DavidHussein13]

Maaan Conker don't get enough credit for how entertaining that game was

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

I like how in the Shantae series, Squid Baron is well aware that he is in a video game, but none of the characters know what he's talking about. Silent Hill Shattered Memories also gives you the ability to call a help line. The Konami representative says that since you're calling from Silent Hill, she can't help you.

Providence of Bravely Second does not play by the usual rules of a turn-based RPG. Take too long, and it will enter your commands for you. Then it drops all pretense of fairness and tries to make you delete your save data, though thankfully the party is able to stop it before they are all deleted.

My favourite fourth wall breaks are from the danganronpa series, specifically the second game. Monokuma beats up Usami and turns her into Monomi. Monomi then says “H-How…? Even the display (name tag) changed to Monomi!?” Monokuma says “only a total hack would wait until the end of the story to reveal a cliched twist like that!” Which is exactly what happened in the first game, with the same twist too. Right after, he says “Quick, someone get a plagiarist because I feel like I’ve heard this story before!” 💀💀 Monomi says at half time in class trials “everyone do your best! Don’t lose yourselves! And don’t forget to save regularly!” Those are all the ones I have screenshots of lol (I haven’t finished the game yet ;D)

I thought for sure Bravely Default would be on here. The plot involves parallel worlds and implies the real world is the "Realm of Gods".
