Actions in Games That Made You Physically Uncomfortable.

[Fishyash]

At first seeing this thread, I thought you meant physical actions that made you uncomfortable. For example, I found it uncomfortable doing the Shoryuken motion on the right side of the screen on Street Fighter.

Oh well, here is mine anyways.

Spoiler: Mass Effect 2 character Spoilers

I accidentally defended Jack when she was having an argument with Miranda. I actually felt pretty bad about it, since Miranda didn't like me anymore. I didn't want to play the game for nearly a month since then.

Also in regards to the spoiler tags.

Please can't you just put the game that you are spoiling in before someone has to click the spoiler? For example just cover what you're spoiling on the cover of the spoiler tag, or if you don't know how, just cover what you're spoiling before you put it in the spoiler tag. Because either you're pretty much spoiling it anyways by people wanting to see your post, or people who are even likely to have finished the game won't want to read your post in worries of spoilers.

It's even worse that some of these posts spoil the game in the first sentence within the spoiler tags, with no warning beforehand. You might as well have not put the spoiler tags in at all...

Lots of morality discussion in here, but I can say with authority that the one thing that makes me feel genuinely PHYSICALLY uncomfortable in games is "heights". I'm acrophobic, so if your game has me clinging to a little ledge or performing acrobatics at some absurd height my palms become instantly sweaty and my testicles try to climb back up inside my body.

I actually had to stop playing Mirror's Edge pretty early on, I just couldn't take it.

Here's a good test to see if you, too, are afraid of heights!

Choosing between Tali and Legion, and by extension the Free Geth and the Quarians, when I had insufficent charm points to bring them together. Its even more gutting because now I know both ways, I lose Legion, another friend to add to the list. And not being able to really stick two fingers up at the Reapers in any meaningful way didn't help >.<

I am not ashamed to say, there were a few scenes in ME3 that really brought me to tears, and no other game has ever done that.

yeahh, i genuinely cried when

Spoiler: ME3 spoiler, nothing to do with the ending though

i had to let mordin sacrifice himself. i mean, that's just not cool. that along with thanes sacrifice was pretty saddening, especially the end scene with his son.

the andrew ryan incident in bioshock also did unnerve me a fair bit.

Dead Space 2, needle in eye, ngggh. At least until you screw up and then it's funny again.

 

[beniki]

Alien vs. Predator, playing through the alien campaign.

After you finish the face hugger segment, you run around as the worm, and "Must find fresh meat to grow. Small mammals are good."

Basically just a lot of platfroming and killing the odd insect... until you hear a cat mewing. And an icy pit slowly formed in my stomach. There was a cat in a box, meowerling pathetically. It was not a happy cat. And the game wants you to... eat it.

Long story short, I still haven't finished that game.

Capthcha: out of sorts

Darn right.

 

[Irridium]

The constant decapitations in the Darkness 2. Ripping people in half, sodomizing them with demon-tentacle arms... just really bothers me.

Couldn't beat the game because of it. Or even really play it.

Spoiler: Skyrim Daedra Quest

A daedric quest starting in Markarth has you lure a priest into a dungeon and to a shrine, where he is killed. You then eat him, along with a group of other cannibals, all of them making fun of the whole thing, one hinting at eating her husband ("My husband recently passed, very sad. He had such wonderful... taste."), another at serving human(oid) flesh to the customers at his inn.

You even get a ring that gives you a stat buff whenever you eat someone.

And that's why I hated the uproar about the "killable children" mod.

Shooting the humanitarian lawyer in GTA IV. For a game that prided itself on choice and freedom and for a story about a guy who's trying to put his bad life behind him, this just took me out of the game. They could have done so much if they'd given us the option to walk away.

That made me feel bad.

Damn you Francis McReary!

OT:

Spoiler

when your dog gets shot at the end of Fable 2

or maybe

Spoiler

Watching your Dad die in Fallout 3 and then being kidnapped by the very guy he tried to stop! Why!

 

[lemby117]

Well you might want to say spoilers in the title. But the game I want to say it about a year old so if you haven't played it yet you are not going to. Killing Zeke at the end of Infamous 2 evil ending was Uncomfortable to say the least.

Reported for spoiling. Regardless of age you don't fucking spoil a game like that, it just makes you look like a prick.

OT: Strogg conversion in Quake 4.

DOOD WTF MAN I WAS NEARLY AT THAT PART AND U SPOILED IT FOR ME ASSHOLE! REPORTED ;-p

OT: Watching videos of people sabotaging the genophage and killing Wrex made me feel ill could never do that to him

Yeah that was pretty messed up. Didn't know what I was getting into.

OT: In Mass Effect 2, I had to force myself on a Renegade playthrough to let the people in the oil refinery during Zaeed's mission die. And I reloaded twice because I felt so bad about it. Hearing their screams and the explosions... I felt like a terrible person.

 

[Sacman]

Leaving my brother in Deus Ex... I mean the worst part is that I thought it was the only option I had... and later playthroughs I actually helped him escape...<.<

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Metal Gear Solid 3:

Spoiler

Killing off Big Boss is sad enough once you find out what a tragic character she is. Forcing the PLAYER TO PULL THE TRIGGER is just too fucking much. That scene emotionally crippled me for a while afterwards.

You could have just asked politely instead of being a douche about that but ok.

Also I spelled politely wrong the first time.

And you could have been polite and used spoiler tags, but you didn't.

Please go back and put all the spoilers in your quotes in spoiler tags. It's only a decent thing to do.

OT: The ending bit of Myst IV. I was sure of what the correct thing to do was, but holy crow, if I was WRONG, then I would have <spoiler=Myst IV spoilers>accidentally sucked a little girl out of her own body.

 

[Legion]

And you could have been polite and used spoiler tags, but you didn't.

Yeah but I didn't' think there was anything wrong with that like I said it's been out for a while I thought anyone who cared played it already and I was wrong I guess. You know calling someone a prick is a rude thing to do.

Regardless of that that's no excuse. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

I don't agree with the aggression, but I agree with Hobbit's point. I didn't play Mass Effect or Bioshock for over a year since they came out and so was extremely lucky not have them spoilered for me. I'd have been pissed off if they were though.

People also need to mention what game the spoilers are from too. [Spoiler: Click to View] helps nobody.

Spoiler: Skyrim A taste of Death quest

I felt bad about eating the guy, but my character was collecting Daedric artefacts (to stop people abusing them) and needed it. She then killed all of the cannibals

 

[DustyDrB]

Well...the latest TF2 patch broke the game for me, making it so laggy that I began to feel nauseous.

 

[Pfheonix]

The Molag Bal quest in Skyrim.

Anyone who enjoyed doing that quest is a sick fuck.

Then I'm a sick fuck. I was a lil bit tense from the atmosphere, but it was entertaining. My favorite has got to be random back stabs on villagers though. Awesome times...

 

[JasonKaotic]

I'll throw another vote towards Heavy Rain. The way the whole scene was presented made it that much more horrible. Along with the game's Butterfly trial, too. And choosing the 'bad' option for the Shark trial. Fuck you, Heavy Rain. Why do you have to be so well done?

Also, does not flaming players that kill you after you make a crapload of progress in Dark Souls count?

 

[Thetwistedendgame]

Shadow of the Colossus. All of it. Every single goddamned enemy. Not to mention letting the horse fall into a ravine.
