Your biggest "WTF!?!" of gaming.

Mine would have to be at the end of Earthbound, Giygas, that guy, just... ugh...

What an original thread. I totally didn't see an exactly alike thread yesterday /sarcasm

When at the end if you choose to side with the prince and open up the Ankaran sarcophagus... And instead of it containing the sleeping Antediluvian super-vampire the game has been hyping for the past 10 hours, it's filled to the brim with explosives set to detonate in a few seconds.

And then you remember words given to you during the first 15 minutes of gameplay by a half-insane (but oddly insightful) young woman when you ask her for life-saving advice: "Don't Open It!"

And the next shot is about your tutorial mentor, a free-thinking 'bugger-you-all-I'm-doing-things-my-way' kind of vampire, laughing with a fresh cigar in his mouth as he watches the gigantic explosion from the outskirts of the city....

You just can't help but laugh with him, it's something so in-character, something you so should have seen coming and yet had no idea of. That made me replay the game twice with different characters, just to see how hilarious the other endings would be.

Mine would probably when an ogre picked me up and beat me to death when I was winning in a one on one fight in Dragon Age: Origins.

All of Earthbound is just one giant "wtf".

And because I'm a lazy bastard, I'm just going to copy my post from the other thread on this subject.

In Super Mario RPG you have to prevent Booster, a strange dwarf man, from marrying Princess Peach. Upon breaking up the wedding, two chefs walk into the room with a giant wedding cake. For some reason I forgot, they attack. During the middle of the fight, the wedding cake comes to life and begins casting magic. You then have a boss fight with a wedding cake.

What the hell were they thinking?

the qui-jin ending was not so hilarious.

Played it through with a malkavian yet? gives you hint on who the cab driver is.

That's my WTF! moment.

 

[Bambi Puce]

FF8, the ending, and only the ending. The rest is a generic malaise of hate. Seriously, if you were to ever just give up and not fight the final boss, the rest of the game's plot goes 'Poof', "Meryl died, oops."

By the way, Raspberry Torte (SMRPG) and the chefs attack because, hey, ve made zees cake, and now zere vill be no wedding? Encreable!

Yeah, the quei-jin ending was just dasdardly and frankly quite expected.

And yeah, love the Malks. Always fun to converse with the TV-commentator... And even with my first playtrough as a Tremere, I knew the cab-driver was someone too much 'in the know'. But yeah, the Malk hint was pretty brain-scrambling.

dont forget that street sign downtown he's a great conversationalist.

Less of a hint and more a blinding statement i should say considering your only 3 dialogue options are to scream in terror.

I beat the game ages ago as both a Brujah and a Tremere, and I just started a new game a few days ago as a Malkavian. Fun, that. ^^
I think I already figured out the cab driver's identity on my 2nd time beating the game, and was that ever a WTF moment for me.

your only 3 dialogue options with him in the end with a malkavian are to scream in terror, that should cement your theory.

Yes, it does indeed. Tee hee hee.

I wonder if (back when this game was released) any bible thumpers got their panties in a bunch over this...

 

[SirusTheMadDJ]

A few from recently.

AC2. The ending....

Spoiler

with the glowing woman even had Desmond, who has now lived through the major points of two previous lives, being born, stabbed, and a load of weird crap up to this point, WTFing like a goodun. Also the glyph sequences are pretty mind blowing too. Haven't got all of them yet, but considering one actually has someone on fire screaming at you and of course the elephant....So Yeah.

Bioshock.

Spoiler

Would you kindly feed me my putter. A MAAAAAAAAAAAN CHOOOOSES etc

Oblivion.

Shivering Isles has too many to mention, but what else would you explain from the realm of madness...

Spoiler

Not including having to murder the duke or duchess to replace them, Sheogorath being the leader of the Greymarch, and of course the woman you meet when you re-create the Gatekeeper...S&M has NOTHING on this crazy ***** d=)

Then the Dark Brotherhood quests, especially nearing the end. And M'aiq The Liar. (Spelling mistake. It is quarter to two <_<)

Finally to comment on the Jade Empire WTF

Spoiler

Granted I was aware of the Master's Face-Heel turn near the end, but the amount of warnings you get about it at the start should of prepared you for it. Also considered that you're specifically asked NOT to question ANYTHING you're told, despite you noticing he isn't right. But then again, I do know about it, so it's probably me picking up on it

 

[FalloutJack]

You know what? I have a good one.

Let us harken back to the olden days of Gameboy when it was just a friggin' Gameboy and not colored or advanced. On one day, I accidentally discovered - entirely on my own - the Underworld. It was at this point that I thought "Cool! I did something weird to my game! Let's explore this fucked up land...". But it was also a WTF moment in of the fact that my game was trippy. This was a time before I knew that games could really glitch like this. It was awesome.
