Hilarious decisions to make in games
- Thread starter TI92
- Start date
Undertale is so hard to talk about because basically every single detail in the game is a spoiler that, if you know about them beforehand, will compromise the integrity of your playthrough. Obviously almost any game is better if you go in blind, but the sheer volume of surprises and subversions in Undertale means you can't talk about it at all without ruining it for somebody else.
This is the Fan's Burden and it is profound.
FNV is full of them
Assuming the position to Fisto

"ROBOT! LET ME PAST!"

Imagine a game series you like, and then imagine it being gutted of nearly everything you liked about it on top of completely changing genres.
Hilarious!From 999:
(I have no idea what I'm looking at here.)
It's a funyarinpa, obviously. How could you not know? Apologize to the funyarinpa.
In 999, you examine this picture on the wall, and one of the other characters asks what you think it is. There are a number of legitimate responses, but you can also pick "funyarinpa," a made-up thing. Your character will defend his choice despite it being nonsensical, loudly asserting that the other characters are simply ignorant and are insulting the greatness of the funyarinpa.
I remember one from the first Knights of the Old Republic, on Xbox. At some point when exploring a location I ran into someone hiding in a vertical locker, the kind found in schools or gyms. Dude was hiding in there for some reason. (It's been ages since I played.) Most of the dialogue trees ended with talking him out of the locker, or failing to do so. But if you were just the right kind of asshole, you ended with the option to "Insert Lightsaber" into the locker. Dialogue ends and you ignite the saber and kill him through the locker door while he screams.
It was utterly hilarious.

I think for "funny" ones, the best is when Mettaton asks you who you think Alphys has a crush on, there are no wrong answers and all answers are a varying degrees of funny.
(Joke) Ending K in Nier: Automata
If an android eats a mackerel, they die. Still tastes good tho...
I lost a small but not insignificant bit of playtime because of this. Automata has the best worst endings.
"I might... get wet". Replaying that scene is even funnier once you've finished the game.
Akane was messing around with Junpei. She already knew what he was thinking of and was simply playing dumb.
FFXIV: Some kids ask you how you became a strong adventurer, and one of the dialog options is just to tell them about your gear seller NPC.
In Persona 5, there's a time when someone is asking you to say something witty as a comeback, and "Something witty" is a dialog option.
Actually, the P5 MC has a lot of smartass remarks as dialog options.

In GTA San Andreas you have a positive or negative response for what people say to you. Usually a pedrestrian/ NPC which in this case if most of the time female would ask "Don't you use deodorant?" and if you reply positively CJ says "Yeah, my cologne is tight" or "I've just takin' up washing G"
In one of the Harvest Moon games, you can keep saying no to inheriting the farm at the start of the game; if you say No enough times you just go to the amusement park instead.
I considered the game beaten at that point.
Just my two cents, but to me SPM and Color Splash are both excellent titles, although neither is a traditional RPG with leveling. SPM is more about exploring and some mild adventure-style gameplay. It has crackling dialogue and a very off-the-wall plot. The gameplay itself is mostly a slower version of a 2D Mario mixed with exploration and some neat gimmicks. It's a fun world to explore though and the game takes you some bizarre and interesting places with some very creative scenarios.
Color Splash goes harder into the adventure game aspect, which again makes for a very different experience than the original PM games, but it works well in the game in general. I found the plot and battles to be a lot of fun and I found the dialogue to be some of the best I've encountered in a game. Side quests in both games are great, too. The world map in Color Splash has to be one of the most satisfying select-a-level style world maps I've encountered in a long time. It's also just rich with fun and creative happenings involving Mario characters.
FWIW, I got the sense many in the Color Splash OT enjoyed it a great deal, and I've seen quite a bit of praise for SPM on TOOF.*
*TOOF = "this one other forum"
I hope Color Splash gets a Switch port, because I don't own a Wii U. Haven't played Sticker Star either, despite owning it for years.
Life Is Strange has an amusing response from Chloe in episode 3.
If you refuse to kiss her, she mocks you by stating that you totally kissed her and then rewound to pretend you didn't. Which is exactly what I did, just to see what would happen. She's hella smarter than me!
Here's a video of that conversation.

OP
OP
Sorry it came off that way - I wasn't meaning to ignore you at all - I know your feeling on the game and didn't want to exclude you from the discussion, so I was quoting you in case you wanted to rebut my response.
edit: Oh, I see now I didn't actually quote you. My mistake, I thought I had done so and meant to.

Honestly wouldn't recommend playing either of those Paper Marios. Color Splash puts some bandaids over some of the larger problems of Sticker Star and has moment-to-moment writing more in line with the series standard, but I still wouldn't recommend anyone subjects themselves to that game. The terrible battle system and a variety of other poor decisions make the game a real slog to get to. I couldn't even get myself to the second Paint Star.
Super Paper Mario is generally cool though. It is rough around the edges and takes a few gags way too far but is still generally a decent game.
On that note though, the cutscene before the chapter 3 boss in Super Paper Mario certainly qualifies for this thread. None of the dialog choices really affect anything, but it's a really funny scene regardless.
Persona 4's Option 3(I think?) is usually pretty ridiculous. The P4G anime pretty much went with all of those as canon, leading Yuu to be REALLY weird.
Yakuza 0's side stories are full of "wrong" choices that don't lead to a fail state. It's brilliant!
In The Witcher 1, an (innocent) witch will ask Geralt to protect her from raging mob accusing her for all the strange things happening in the village, and offered to sleep with him. Geralt can choose to sleep with her, then betrays the witch to the mob anyway.
Geralt in The Witcher 1 can be a real asshole.

Takedowns in Deus Ex are too much fun
In the most hilarious way possible.
He saved her life by punching the bullet back out of her head.
We can only hope with the younger generations taking more lead that the next Paper Mario gets the new Nintendo workover!
If you choose to not click the action button, this happens in Spider-Man:

Which game is this from? I see one thing hasn't changed from the old forums. Why do people never include the game title?
Yakuza 0 was choke full of hilarious dialogue options. I think the whole series just has a good sense of humor in general.
This is the thing about JRPGs. No matter your choice, you'll end up with the predefined outcome anyway. Maybe a different line or two, but that's it.
In the game OP's brought on, ELEX, if you choose a 'wrong' choice you might have to kill someone or get different rewards.
Mega Man Legends. You can make Mega Man be a real dick in those games.
In Baldur's Gate 1, one NPC with his "witty puns" makes you finally snap and gives you this option:
Dunno if literally hilarious, but in Chrono Trigger you can act like a total jerk at the beginning of the game (eat some old dude's lunch; kick a lost cat out of the screen instead of taking it to the little girl who's looking for it; try to steal and resell Marle's pendant, etc.). Since you've just started this game you think there will be no consequences for all this but then two chapters later you're actually put on trial and it all comes back to bite you in the ass.
It's Mega Man Legends, same game as the "Hippopotamus" choice earlier in the thread. It's a hilarious game, and Mega Man can be a real piece of work.
There's a situation early on in which an angry dog is barking at a girl; to resolve this, you can either talk to the dog and say "that's not nice", or you can kick the dog in the face.
