Cruel gaming ironies

[smokeraven]

Hey everybody, i'm just curious here about what ironies that other gamers have run into in video games

Mine has to be in Final Fantasy 13 and is about the character Hope, throughout the game, he does nothing but whine and complain, so speaking for myself, I don't want to use him, but unfortunately he's the best mage character in the game so I HAVE to use him, *sigh* so that's mine

In Tales of Vesperia, Rita Mordio is made out to be a famed genius mage. Yet, when it comes to solving a simple riddle ( Whats round, bright, and in the sky) she scratches her head in confusion... pretty sad really.

I dunno, I never thought he was that good. I always preferred Vanille.

You're very mature

The title of Duke Nuke'em: Forever was incredibly ironic.

With all the hype about Fable (2), it ends up being grounded in reality.

"Realism" secretly just means everything is played straight and serious, with no fun, humour or love at all. Plus, anyone who knows anything about the subject matter will tell you that it's so far from reality they haven't got a word for it apart from Shi-*Beep!*

Just Cause 2 for the PC

I was relieved to have heard it only comes in one DVD. Finally i thought, a game that i can max out graphically with my modest laptop. Suddenly after installing and booting it up, it bumfucks my GPU at the lowest settings...

I need a new rig...

Sheogorath is 'the Prince of Madness' or whatever. In reality he's quite calm.

This wins the topic, if you ask me.

You know... I really have to agree with that one.

That in some boss battles, They have just enough time before they die to tell their life stories, explain their motivations and give you advice before becoming relatable by explaining how shit their life was. Ironic considering most other times a bullet to the brain kills people.

(I'm looking at you Metal Gear Solid.)
