As much as I am a resi fan boy even I have to admit that the plots and holes in them, along with the massive leaps in logic the game makes from time to time, make me laugh a lot. Every company employee must have been incredibly smart, athletic and be willing to put up with a lot of tedious backtracking just to get to the lab in the morning.
That and the dialogue from the first game. Even in resi remake they have them! the master of unlocking speech was just painful.
Oh and every time a person who is hurt tries to speak in resi. *Oh* 'H-hi there *oh*. I tried to *oh* hold them off *cough, cough* but there were too many.' Painful but so very funny.

I have to agree with Yahtzee that Resident Evil has the most atrociously written dialogues.
"Since when Wesker? Since when have they been slipping you a pay check?"
I almost died laughing.
Number 4 was very cliché, and 5 looks the same. Very enjoyable though. Any game with Wesker in is instantly forgiven from me.
xD

Ace Combat 5.
Why are fighter pilots so hung on LOVE & PEEEEACE? Nagase is particularly bad about this but she's the love interest so I forgive her.

This is the best, though it contributed to the story... just like in The Matrix Revolutions when trinity if impaled by I don't even know how many spikes they have a ten minute conversation about love and etc etc... blah I think i'll write my near death text now so I can be quick and not bore anyone when my time comes.....samsprinkle said:
The entire Resident Evil storyline. Horrible dialogue, shitty voice acting, downright terrible plotline, Absurd Antagonists, generic set pieces, and absolutely no sense of pacing.
If I know the bit your talking about properly, you can kinda avoid that, but its a little bit of a bug, and I've only heard bout it, and can't remember how it affects the plot, but, if you get a good jump, you can actually jump onto the one next to the intended prisoner transport, thus being sent, again, if i remember right, to a point much further in the level... apologies if this proves mis-remembered, but I do remember a friend going on about it at great length!coldfrog said:
In Mass Effect you prove that the big bad guy is a traitor with a voice recording, which left me thinking "this is hundreds of years in the future where humanity is among many alien races that are at least as technologically advanced as they are and you're telling me that you didn't think that a voice recording could be digitaly engineered?"
In Super Mario: Sunshine baby bowser claims that he's Peach's son and peach didn't know whether it was true or not, which left me thinking "Oh come on! You have to remember giving birth to a ball of spikes or not!"

KotOR 2, I mean your actions influencing your companion's seemed perfectly reasonable to me. why would a saint travel with a bunch of a holes? But apparently that was a special force ability that your character had, or something like that, was a long time ago since I played it, I only remembered I was very disappointed.
I've got another Half-Life 2 one. The begining of episode 1. Its like Valve took a look at the End of Half-Life 2 and said "Oh shit...We've really buggered them both up, What the hell we going to do?!" The sent several years franticly going though hundreds of ideas on how to continue the story. Each time, it was rediculas. Finally, on the week before the games release, someone jokely said:
Valve Employ-I don't know...We could just have Vodigons turn up and...wave their arms or something.
Gabe-That could work
Valve Employ-I was joking, thats a terrible idea.
Gabe-Got anything better?
Valve Employ-...Dam it, I'll get started.

I almost have to excuse Resident Evil for this. I have played all of the Resis. I have always thought all the way from Resi 1 that the plot was intended to be tongue in cheek. You can still be survival/action horror and be funny.buy teh haloz said:
Some examples:
"Steve?" Code Veronica
"Barry? Where's Barry?" RE1
"Maybe when we get back, you can put in some overtime?" RE4
I can't help but to think that this type of cheese is intentional unintentional comedy.
We could come up with a whole thread just naming Resi examples!
Gears of War 2. Uhh, the whole damn plot was pretty dumb.
But specifically, when you finally find the Queen and she sends that thing at you and runs away. You tell Cole and Baird to go after the Queen, and after you fight the thing, you run outside of a door, ask where the Queen is, and they tell you that she escaped on a reaver. It was like they didn't even try to stop her, because reavers aren't that hard to kill. But yeah, the single boss fight in the game for nothing.

In call of duty WaW, sgt. reznov has an injured hand that won't let him aim, yet he can jump out of buildings, shoot the smg with perfect aim, and pull burning logs off you with no problems.
