That is all... well, not really, but there just isnt enough time for me to list everything that caused me to fall over in my chair while playing this game.

So I've just finished playing Assassin's Creed 2 for the first time and have managed to wake up everyone in the building with uncontrollable laughter! It's so awesomely, unashamedly batshit crazy!

So, which games have made you laugh out loud with their total disregard for any type of logic in favour of good old-fashioned insanity? Now that I've finished the game I need a nice long list of mad titles to keep me happy.

And hey, what the hell, throw in some that have made you laugh because they're just plain bad.
Easy. My answer is God Hand.

It's a brawler, and one of those games that is awash with unashamed insanity and offensiveness and complete lack of logic. And it is glorious.

Gene controls like no other action game hero I've ever played. He's lightning fast, extremely skilled, and can fight endlessly. But rather than remain humble with his martial arts mastery. He's more like a cocky overgrown boy who is more than happy to beat the snot out of anyone who threatens him, and he fights and controls that way too. Kicking people in the balls, snarkily chuckles when he dodges enemies or hurts them horribly, uses impractical flashy and embarrassing moves, inexplicably summoning baseball bats to smash his enemies into the orbit Team-Rocket style.

The amount of damage and punishment you can unleash on your enemies is downright hilarious. As shown below.


This is what happens when you let Shinji Mikami go nuts.


Honorable mention:

Oddworld

Anyone who has played these games already knows. I'll let the vids below illustrate how they fit into this category. But I will say this:

You can drink a soda which turns your farts into explosives, you can then possess your explosive fart cloud, and fly it into your enemies, and blow them up. With your mind controlled exploding fart cloud.


Farts ever being a source of trouble, the following video shows what happens when you fart in the presence of someone that is in a bad mood.

If I were choosing a game that was TRYING to be funny, it would be Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
*high fives* I was starting to think I'm the only one who remembers that game! The cutscenes were just plain awesome.

Being able to throw grenades inside vehicles on hidden and dangerous...turning to my mates in multiplayer and asking 'whats that on the dashboard?' while they frantically try to get out and survive...they didn't :)

The last third of Indigo Prophecy went so bat-shit crazy, I had to laugh. The first two-thirds of it was amazing, but the ending was so stupid, all you can do is laugh it off, I guess.
This.

When the twist happens, it's like "You got to be fucking kidding me!"

Thirded. Loved it up until about halfway through when it just descended into utter madness at a speed previously unheard of.

Before I write what I want to write, I really must ask three questions

WanderingFool said:
Three words...


That is all... well, not really, but there just isnt enough time for me to list everything that caused me to fall over in my chair while playing this game.
1. What the fuck?
2. Which fucking game is that?
3. Why the bloody hell don't more games have shark guns? I'd totally play more shoters if I could, like, throw bears or something. This is by far the best weapon I've seen outside the Worms series.

Anyway, back on track

(Well expect for the fist fight... that was stupid and a cop out since they couldn't kill the guy due to his not dieing until later in history)
I'm totally with him. The boxing match was a bit stupid, but the ending after wasn't, really. AC1 totally mentioned "the predecessors" or "the ones that came before" or whatever they called them there. Not to mention the whole MacGuffin thing in AC1 and 2 should have clued you in. It's not at all insane. AC:B even gives more of a context there.

I can't recall the name of the game but it also had weapons like "Black hole in a box" and another gun that flipped the world upside down so everyone fell into the sky.

Oh, actually the video description says - it's Armed and Dangerous.

We totally need more games like this. Why would anyone play modern shooters when you have this game?

Armed and dangerous was unbelievable. I had so much fun using stuff like the hypnosis grenade, plus the cut scenes were ridiculous. ^^

While I have no problem shooting a M4 or AK-47 in most shooters, we really do need more games like Armed and Dangerous.

I'll go with Borderlands 2. Not because it's bad, but because it has crazy humor.

That 'double rainbow' easter egg with Handsome Jack was fucking hilarious.

Looks pretty insane. Also looks like a PS2 title. It took me until Melinda Megamelons to realize that this game doesn't take itself very seriously.
I watched a friend play Way of the Samurai 3, with no prior knowledge; one of the first conversations we came across involving telling a guy that we pooed in a bush.

I want to play this now.

Bulletstorm was pretty damn funny both from the writing and from wondering if the ridiculous level of parody was intentional. Plus, it made playing Gears Of War 3 with a straight face impossible. Borderlands 2 has had some great moments as well, particularly Handsome Jack. It does get a bit too serious further in, though.

Oh I'm with you - there was certainly some fairly heavy foreshadowing, I just liked how it all sounds mad out of context. The things that made me laugh were a) when Desmond says 'What the fuck!' and b) the fact the credits start rolling immediately after that statement. The fact that they embraced how mad it all is when you think about it objectively was just the cherry on top of an awesome, stabby cake. There are no words to describe how much I enjoyed Assassin's Creed 2 :)

Classics such as Big Rigs, Superman 64 and Action 52 never fail to make me at least smile. Thats actually something very few games made me do, so they are quite far from the worst games ever IMO.
