Okay... There is a lot of moments and some of them I enjoyed, but these that I'm going to list are just plain uncomfortable. Hello Wondering Traveler, and welcome to Community Writing Challenge entry!
The Jester Lovers
If you ever played Dragon's Dogma, you know that the game had a romance interest. Almost like Mass Effect's connection with the characters, but more of a mystery prize. The game had you mingle and befriend the character's in the game. The more you talked and agreed with the character you liked the most would become your intimate lover. But this game, like all games, had a glitch.
The glitch that made people cringe, cry, and throw their controllers at the screen. Though the variety of characters there was Feste the Jester and he was the weirdest little thing. No one really liked him, because of his small, but creepy face! What the glitch did was the love on his character would rise as you were talking to someone else. So, when you found out your character was in love with a creepy Jester, you were both disgusted and angry. It was a weird moment for everyone.
The Killer Golden Chicken
Everyone knew of the giant, golden, fire-breathing chicken, right? Well back in 2012, me and my friend didn't know about such a thing in Gears of War 3. Once me and my friends found the triggers to find the chicken. Once we found the trigger pipes, we thought it was part of the main mission or a secret mission, so we tried to find them all.
Once the very last one was found, a small little chicken came out of it. I just look at it and not know why it was here. Me and my friend started to think it would lead to some hidden stash of guns and ammunition, but it just kept walking in circles.
My friend started to insist on shooting it, but I knew that this had something more to this small easter egg. I tried to tell him not to shoot it, but he did so before I could tell him completely. And once he did, we were both scared for our lives. Let's just say, the bullets flew faster than the sporadic camera we had.
The Dead Ragdoll
Many know of the infamous ragdoll glitches, but I never seen that glitch on multiple players I killed in one match. It was when I got The Master Chief Collection for the first time, and this was going to be my first Slayer match in that game (Go figure, huh?).When the search ended the screen froze with an ear piercing sound. The game out into a poorly rendered map and all player models were stuck in T-Frame with their guns showing the only liveliness of a player.
It was was... Very odd... But I wanted to see what hilarious thing might come next! I was so wrong. When I killed a player, they would go into that weird sporadic movement and just stay stuck in the ground. Once I got to my 10th kill, all the corpses started to follow me and chase me as I played in the match. I wish I could have recorded it because it was just both hilarious and just creepy to begin with! I know that nothing is going to top this experience like this in years.
Romantic, But Awkward
When I played Mass Effect, my dad tend to watch the game with me. I didn't mind him doing so, I played until I had no reason to. The best part was that my dad loved the conversations in the game. He says it's like the Game of Thrones, you need to gossip about it!
Well, while my dad was out shopping, I took a liking to Garrus in the game and I wanted... My character to... You know? Romanticize! Since my dad went to go get groceries, I felt safe enough to do so. I did everything to get to the point I wanted. I took every root and every option for the love to happen. Then, my dad opens the front door and says, "I got Pepsi!"
I was shivering in fear for what might come next. "Ooh! You playing that one game?" he said as I started to stare a the screen. The options to romance weren't complete so he had to sit there, watching me try to have Shep kiss Garrus.
Once i finished the two characters leaned close to show for a passionate kiss, the option flashed I quickly pressed it before my dad could see it. As they did so, I look at my dad and see the "WHAT!?" expression on his face. "Something you wanna tell me, Buddy" is what he tells me as my face began to glow red.
I told what I wanted to happen with the two characters and lied for effects of what might happen if Garrus became Shep's boyfriend. He just said "Okay," got up and drank a beer he hid in the fridge.
I hope you enjoyed this small list of the weirdest things I met in gaming. What was the weirdest thing you met in gam-WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE!!?
Well, as usual..
