Wow. Never visited there. I'm gonna have to check that town out.

Not really WTH, I guess, but I didn't see it coming in COD 4:

Going to echo the Eternal Darkness stuff. Lots of awesome moments and effects in that game.

I found the end of Braid to be mind blowing.

Most of the Dark Brotherhood stuff in Oblivion left me saying WTH!?!

No More Heroes left me saying WTF at approx. 2-3 minute intervals. (And I LOVED every minute of it! )

Shadow of the Colossus made me say WTH in a much more awestruck manner.

The Darkness


Dead Space's very last scene.

Similarly in Prey when you

Fallout 3, again not really a WTH moment, but kind of a 'wow' moment

Raul3

I still need to do that. I've been too good in that game already.

Groucho

How about the opera scene in Mystical Ninja 2 for the N64?

Noonan

The ending of Braid was the first thing that came to mind.

Also, one of the Duke Nukem games (almost positive it was 3D) during a boss fight when you actually rip off his head and shit down his neck. He even pulled out a newspaper and everything. That was classic.

In the original Tomb Raider,

The in GTA: San Andreas.

me.....finding myself attracted to a video game charcter in Final Fantasy 3... during the opera scene.

Another vote for Eternal Darkness ... and I'll add the "walk through a room as your limbs begin to randomly fall off."

Wow ... I had totally forgotten about Conker's Bad Fur Day. I loved that game. Almost makes me want to dig out my N64 and play it again.

Hokeyboy

Nothing, but nothing, is a total shock WTF moment as the one in GUITAR HERO: WORLD TOUR, during which .

Also, I kinda liked Metal Gear Solid 2, especially when

That game made me poop.

Raul3

OK, I'll bite, what's that "erase save game" thing in Eternal Darkness? I've never played the game. I don't even know anything about that game.

Eternal Darkness has insanity effects where things happen that emulate your character going insane.

Michael Corvin

The game has 'Sanity' effects that distort the world/screen around you:

--Aural hallucinations like voices, knocking, screams, footsteps
--Arms and limbs fall off and start bleeding, character dies, then instantly comes back and screams
--Alex saw herself dead in a bathtub full of blood in the mansion and screams REALLY loud.
--bleeding walls
--screen tilts back and forth
-- etc.

Then there are ones that are outside gameplay to mess with you. I believe one made it appear the volume on your tv was going down, complete with volume bar on screen.

The coup de grace though is the 'Save game' one. Xmiyux explained it pretty well.

Raul3

That sounds really good.
I just checked the Wikipedia page for the game and it seems it was critically acclaimed but didn't sell well. "One the most underrated games of the last generation" they said.
I guess it should play without issue in the Wii, right?
Checking ebay it seems the game is widely available.

Michael Corvin

D'oh! We shouldn't have spoiled it for you then. Very critically acclaimed. I wonder if Dennis Dyak and what's left of Silicon Knights will go back to a ED sequel since finishing the Too Human trilogy seems unlikely at this point. I know he voiced opinion about doing it at some point. IIRC, Nintendo holds the rights to the game though, so if there is a sequel, it'll be on a Nintendo platform.

dugan

The ending of Cosmic Fantasy 2 was a great WTH moment:

LosingMyMind

Killer7, the entire game is very strange. I've never played anything like it.

Pick up a copy and see for yourself. I can't imagine any other game topping it for bizarre-ness.

fujishig

Surprised nobody mentioned Vault 112 in Fallout 3. And the ending to FFX.

mhg83

I just remembered another WTH moment. MGS4:

mugwump

The problem with that quest was that it was so well done that I had a hard time getting back into the game proper afterwards.

DarthVong

Yep. I'd have to say quite a few of my WTH moments were from this entire series. Nemesis crashing through walls!
