So awkward, that it's genius!

in #gaming6 years ago

A good laugh, everyone likes one - you, me, that hot girl who works in the bar down the road that you are afraid to talk to and many many more. Even better, when the subject of the "good laugh" is not you! This is exactly why you are now reading this - knowing that video games are actually made to entertain you, they can even better do that unintentionally.

Similar to the creepy "eyeball" people from Assassins Creed Unity, I am going to bring up some glitches and bugs that I and most likely some of you remember from quite well-known (and not-so) games. Some of them are weird and awkward and some are just straight up goofy as hell (and hell is really goofy?!?!?!?). If you know any cool glitches or bugs, it would be awesome if you could let us know about them in the comment section!

Mannequin mom - Mafia II

While your mom might be creepy, playing as Vito Scaletta you quite often pay visits to your dear old mom Scaletta to find out how she's doing. Except on the Mac version (surely the best place for gaming) your dear old mom turns into a horrifying skinless mannequin-monster thing, completely stripped of all that makes her human.

Headless CJ - GTA:SA

So kids, the 2004 GTA:SA had a local CO-OP mode and if "Player 2" was to pick up a katana and like an afro samurai would decapitate the host player - this would end the session. Makes sense, right?
That's not the end however, as no matter how tattooed, buffed or well dressed your CJ was - blood would be forever spurting from his stumpy neck and if you saved the game that way, there's no going back! That didn't stop you from eating a hot dog though.

 

Manimals - Red Dead Redemption

I wish that this was done intentionally, that would be simply a stroke of genius. Animals with human faces, humans that act like animals and most satisfying - animals that act like humans. As comic as it may seem, creepy AF once you give it a second thought. Here's a coyote wielding a gun. P.S. Sorry for the poor screenie quality - really hard to find these.

Slender Watson - Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis

Now I will just not believe that this is intended, however if it is - that makes is so awkward, that it actually becomes genius! In "Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis" in order to nail the whole "Sherlock+Watson forever" thing (but in a totally heterosexual way), as you move around - Watson will stick close by. But instead of adding some movement animation, as soon as he is out of your line of sight, the creepy son of a "B" will just teleport to a new location.

"Alan please add details" - Hitman: Blood Money

Now I wouldn't have seen this if it wasn't for a couple friends who told me about it, but a mistake that spawned a meme is definitely worth to mention. If you pick up a kitchen crate full of lobsters, the description reads "Alan please add details". They've played it off quite well to be fair - in the HD remake this was referenced by the same description reading "Any details yet, Alan?"
