Words or phrases in games that make you cringe or at least go "Ugh."

[Sonofadiddly]

Every time someone uses the word "darkness" in a Kingdom Hearts game, I die a little inside. So I'm not sure why I keep playing them.

oscar mike,stay frosty, ramirez do everything, hooah!

 

[DemonicVixen]

"To Be Continued..."
ARRRGH!!!

NOOOO! why did you say that. Even reading that makes me curl inside. Honestly, games or films or even books that do this keep me awake at night wanting to know what happens even if i have already seen/read/played the sequals.

Whoever created that sentance (and thought it was funny to throw it at the end of exciting plots) ought to die slowly in the same way that that sentance tortures me.

When the enemy yells something to the effect of, "I'm Out of Ammo!". Oh, okay, thanks for the update, I'll be coming over to kill you now.

"Thou" "For Sooth" and any of that generic old English shit, I can't stand it!

This is what put me off Fable 2, Dragon Age and various other fantasy games, they just can never make it sound right, so it comes off as being very annoying and smug!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you've never played Dragon Age, or you'd know they don't use any old English words or phrases in that.

I have never played Dragon Age, but I was told that it was so "by the book" that I thought it would have that type of dialogue in it.

 

[Mr Companion]

For me, it's the words 'heart' and 'darkness' in Kingdom Hearts. Ugh, even saying the title makes me just...

Also, the name Yevon in Final Fantasy X. It's almost the same as with the name God in real life for me. For those of you who don't know, Yevon is, I think, supposed to be a god in Final Fantasy X.

How about you, which words in which games make you go "Ugh" or cringe (correct me if cringe is spelled wrong)?

Edit: Yes, phrases do count too.

I agree with the that about kingdom hearts. I like the game right up until the point where its like "Oh no my heart isen't strong enough to fight all this darkness!"
One of your internal organs is unable to prevent an absence of light? The smeg are you talking about?

 

[MMMowman]

"Press start to play" and when the AI say something idiotic like "Stop shooting at me" and "Take Cover!!"

 

[The_80s_Guy]

Here's an example - [KoToR] You just used force choke in a conversation...

"I'll be going now."

"Reload Dr Freeman!" No, really? I'm holding the bloody piece, I'll decide when I load it!

"Hey, Listen!" ... 'nuff said

"Keep still, I gotta heal you!" No, you don't. We're 4 yards from the safehouse, I'll heal up when we don't have to worry about a FREAKIN HOARD!

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

'It's-a me! Mario!"

I was not expecting such a shout out in Assassin's Creed 2.

I did not want one either.


Whatever the hell Fawkes said when I told him him to get the funk into the purifier instead of me, pre-Broken Steel.

 

[Signa]

When the Siren in Borderlands sees some mundane loot and declares "I've never seen anything like this!"

 

[DarthHamster]

"Press start to play"

Why is that even in there? I haven't seen a single game in which you were actually required to press start (i.e., A or X would do it...) to start the game.

"Think you can beat me?" just pisses me off massively. No, I don't think I can beat you. This game was made purely so that it could end halfway to the end, and credits will roll after you kick my brains out of my skull.

 

[Jaranja]

*after generic villain takes a beating* *racked coughing* "Heh, you think (this is the end/ you can beat me/ you've won)?!" *reveal true form*. Seriously, why didn't you just start off in your true form? dick.

Because this way he has 2 lives.
Also, he's a villain; he doesn't want to make anything convenient.

Killing Floor did it better:

"I'm trying to heal you, not shag you!"
"It's boomstick time!"
"LOTSA MONEYYYYY"

 

[Arachon]

Super Mario 64 required you to press start

 

[MR T3D]

"I'll be going now."

but that's BADASSS
chocking a guy to death, and then saying, "well, I'm off, have a nice couple of seconds dying from lack of oxygen. "

They still do accents.
I can easily understand how this type of VO isn't for everyone.

 

[SUPA FRANKY]

" You were almost a Jill Sandwhich"

I WIN!

 

[SeanTheSheep]

For me it's "We'll go and look this way, you check up ahead" or anything along those lines. Ugh.
They never find anything that way, and what do you find?
A million and one enemies!
Better than having to do an escort mission though.

EDIT: Oh, and also:
Louis:"Reloading"
Zoe:"Cover me, I'm reloading"
Bill: "Reloadin'"
Francis: "RELOADING!!!"

For me, it's the words 'heart' and 'darkness' in Kingdom Hearts. Ugh, even saying the title makes me just...

Everything about Kingdom hearts is disgustingly cringe worthy, those games make me want to stab my own eyes out with a pencil.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you've never played Dragon Age, or you'd know they don't use any old English words or phrases in that.

The dwarves however all had American accents, which really pissed me off. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SCOTTISH DAMNIT, for a game that adheres so strongly to fantasy norm why the bloody hell did they pull that one off.
