Everyone has been there. Your playing a game, good or bad, and suddenly something happens and you just wonder "what the hell were the developers thinking?!". Personally, mine was when i was playing Metroid other M and they gave samus a voice.
Biggest "what were they thinking?!" moment in games?

Yeah, women shouldn't talk!
Obviously, I kid.
OT: Platforming sections in 3D, particularly in serious games. You're Alan Wake, you're fleeing for your life, you can't jump for crap and when you land you slide around. Suddenly, there's a platforming sequence in front of you and evil demon crows are coming to eat your eyeballs. This isn't scary or suspenseful; this is dumb.

Lol, it isnt always bad, just usually. The platforming in ninja gaiden sigma works fine.psivamp said:

Didn't the new Alone in the Dark game have a blink button? I've never played it, but it was mentioned in the past. If that is true, then I think that takes the thread.
The side quest "Who are you to judge?" in Red Dead Redemption. It makes me wonder what the programmers were thinking, but it is hilarious as well. For those who haven't played, lets just say it involves a lonely man whose lifelong love has been kidnapped. Needless to say, it gets... interesting.
Olivion - The whole hitting a team mate three times and having them turn on you, becomes much worse when npcs without the "block and hit A" do it to each other.
L4D2 - The Passing and what it did to Bill, I know why it happened, but there were other options that would have better benefitted the canon.
Fable 2 - The anticlimatic ending, I get it, but with the way 1 and the Lost Chapters ended I expected more.

Except for the intro scene, that actual was a sorta neat game mechanic. In the intro, you had to blink periodically or your screen would blur out (and there was an achievement for not blinking); but, later, it actually because part of the game mechanics. When you closed your eyes enemy weak spots would glow white and the effect would last for a few seconds after you opened them.mazzjammin22 said:
Alone in the Dark was pretty bad, but I got 100% completion on it and had some fun. Which is alot more than I can say for other bad games.

Oh lord...
On an unrelated note, is it me, or was the "California" side quest really depressing?
