Games that break the 4th wall? (or mindf*ck moments if you wish)

Either you won something or you lost something. Or maybe it's something in between. I think she might have been Malkavian and you can never know what they mean. The rest of her predictions were pretty much spot on though.

Actually all clans with auspex can see glimpses of the future. She doesn't appear to have any real signs of madness, simply confusion other a power she doesn't quite understand.

Whilst entirely unrelated to the topic, I thought the best part of that game was when you are introduced to Hollywood's Baron as a Malkavian. He asks if you found it funny that you, a member of the Camarilla found it funny that you needed his, an Anarch's help, to find the Camarilla Nosferatu. You can just say "Hilarious" and keep laughing until the end of time, his face entirely unflinching throughout. Brilliant fun, had me in stiches.

In the PnP, yes, but not in the game. For example

Spoiler

Heather gets insights on her demise if you're a Malk, but not if you're, say, a Tremere with huge Auspex

I always just assumed she was a Malk thin-blood. Somewhat crazy but not crazy enough.

Also, I agree completely. Playing a Malkavian is fun through-out the game and everyone reacts hilariously to your lines. Like Jack at the beginning and Betram "Oh, shit. A Malkavian"

The Nosferatu gets some interesting lines or reactions. "Mind looking at my back? I want to know if my boil is still leaking."

..On topic:

Sacrifice. Clicking on your creatures reveals so many interesting lines

Druid: Level 4 druid seeks party for monster hunting! Will SoW for clarity!

Earthfling: You've got mud on your face... You big disgrace. I. Will. ROCK YOU.

that building in pokemon red, yellow and blue. where you can talk to the game designers. One of them says that he drew you or something like that and another one programmed it!

edit, woops, I didn't realize there was a second page with the same one on it.

"Lets show him why we call it Splatterhouse."
"Now, this is why we got that M rating"

Earthbound - Awesome 4th wall breaking ranging from characters addressing the player to them asking for your name (which you can input)

Batman AA (spoilers BTW) in one of the encounters with the Scarecrow, you repeat the whole opening sequence as the Joker and then when you die you get a game over screen and a continue but you return as if nothing happened.

First time that I saw that, I freaked out. I thought my Xbox was getting the RROD (again) and dove for it to turn it off. In retrospect I found my (over)reaction quite funny.

 

[Mouse One]

Yeah, came THIS close to restarting the computer in Batman AA.

Surprised no one has mentioned the end of Half Life 2.

Pretty much every third line in the No More Heroes games.

Batman: Arkham Asylum, scarecrow segment.

"Use the middle analog stick to dodge the bullet."

Took me a second playthrough to understand that. First time I was so sure I had failed, and triggered an alternate ending to the scenario.

 

[darth.pixie]

When did you get chasitised for cheating? D: I missed that part on my cheats playthrough.

Spoiler

Jack really gives it to you, too. It's awesome. But it's at the beginning of the game when you first talk to him.

Not sure if it's from the original game or patches since I only play with those. They're at the 6.9 one, I hear.

 

[FalloutJack]

I guess I'm the only one playing Destroy All Humans games. They do it all the time.

Another one from Arkham Asylum, if you get somewhere over 90% of all the riddles on the island, The Riddler accuses you of looking up the answers on the internet.

 

[blue spartan 11]

Destroy all humans: Path of the Furon. At some point in the game, Orthopox and Crypto start to have a discussion about the general video game audience while you are destroying a city in your saucer.

 

[Crimson King]

Silent Hill 3 has one of my all time favourite 4th wall breaks, which also doubles as a Silent Hill 2 reference.

Ratchet and Clank 2:
*Upon arriving on a new planet*
Ratchet: Darn! there goes the thief. We missed him again.
Clank: We always seem to be a bit late. Why is that?
*both look at screen for ten seconds*

Generally I dislike 4th wall breaking in games, but the Deadpool VS Magneto commentary in MvC3 is too good to not like.

 

[pyrosaw]

Scott Pilgrim books,
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 with Deadpool,
Jak and Daxter,
Saints Row 2 I think?
