Portal and Portal 2.
GLaDOS’ constant mockery of your person, your ability to navigate tests, and general spite pretty much make both games. It all even manages to provide a lot of world-building without lore-dumping. 10/10, would get roasted again.
Having to grovel to lower the difficulty in God Hand.
Risk of Rain 2’s death messages crack me up.
That was definitely not your fault
That was absolutely your fault
Come back soon!
ur dead lol get rekt
And so on
In the original Warcraft games (not World Of Warcraft), repeatedly clicking units would initiate irritation voice lines.
Humans would say something like, “why do you keep touching me?”
An elf said something like, “you never touch other elves like that!”
I think all Blizzard games have that. IIRC WoW does too.
Sure does.
Zug zug
Dabu!
The best part was: this was even in the installer! When setting up your sound card, there was a test button. If it worked, you heard “your sound card works perfectly”. But if you kept pressing it, eventually it would say “enjoying yourself?” And if you kept going after that, in an angry voice, “it doesn’t get any better than this!”
Ah old Blizzard, when even the installers had character.
W-w, w-w, what do you want?
W-w, w-w, what do you want?
Why do you keep touching me?
Holy fucking shit, I totally forgot about this!
I award you, stranger! 🏅
Which was a parody of this!
Starcraft had some great lines like that too.
“Stop poking me!”
“What do I look like, an orc?”
“This is not Warcraft in space!”
“It’s much more sophisticated!”
What is this game called? 👀
It’s The Outer Worlds 2.
Is this the main menu that looks like a dialogue encounter, or is it a dialogue encounter in the game that suddenly acts like a main menu?
It’s the main menu. Pretty fun idea, but from what I’ve played of the actual game so far, it isn’t nearly as creative or meta unfortunately.
How does it compare to the first one? It was fun for a bit but quickly lost its charm for me.
I’m enjoying it a lot. It scratches that itch for a Bethesda RPG pretty much perfectly, with the added benefit of an Obsidian roleplaying focus.
I’m enjoying it. It feels like the game that Obsidian wanted the first one to be, but couldn’t quite get there, for whatever reason.
I’ve only gotten like 1.5 hours in so I can’t really say yet, but so far it feels similar to the first one with some improvements to stuff like gunplay.
Thanks! I’ll check it out!
The worst part is, in Super Mario 3D Land, at least, if you even see the invincible leaf, it locks you out of getting all the stars on your save file. The game doesn’t even have the courtesy to tell you.
Portal and Portal 2 are packed with passive aggressive remarks. One of my favorites:
Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I’m serious, that’s what it says: “A horrible person.” We weren’t even testing for that. Don’t let that horrible-person thing discourage you. It’s just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother’s decision to abandon you on a doorstep.
If you like sassy AI, take a look at ADA from satisfactory. She is insulting the player ins some way on every upgrade.
In Postal 2 when the Postal Dude says “Didn’t you just save?” if you savescum.
Is it save scum or saves cum?
Nothing precludes you from doing both tbh

You get the end credits but with a kazoo rendition.
Like, “well done dipshit, I guess this is the end”.
I thought I was being so clever making the connections of what I could do with that and it turns out I would actually have been

In Disco Elysium the game straight up called me out for apologising so much. It hit me so hard I stopped apologising as much irl. 10/10 game would be ashamed again.
Marathon (1994) has several call outs to the player when the AI giving you mission briefing calls the PC out for not caring and just wanting to shoot things. There’s a lot of meta commentary in that series.
Bards Tale. That game was full of shit actively taunting or tricking the player. Best ps2 game.
I would have swore there was a moment in Disco Elysium where a character makes fun of you for talking like you are trying to exhaust all the options in a dialog tree. But now I can’t find it. Anyone know?
That was during the dream sequence at the end, no? You can even correct the character saying that they’re not lists, but trees or something like that.
Don’t remember that dialogue, but the OP made me think of the Jamrock Shuffle (constantly running around town like a crazy person).
Yesss that was so good lol.
It’s possible I’m thinking of another game entirely on the other thing. Haha
Also a certain obsession with containers, if I recall correctly.
And at some point Kim mentions the detective’s surprising endurance (especially given his physical and mental state) which allows him to keep running tirelessly all over the place.
Spoilers about the later.
Turns out Harry was a gim teacher before being a cop, and still has some good health from that time, despite everything that he did to himself after.
I always talk to Hypnos in Hades when I die. he always talks shit about how you died and it makes me laugh.
I love the sass.
The sheer genius of both Hades games is that dying is absolutely one of the best parts, since the hub-world is full of fun things like this.
Hypnos: My list says you got killed by a
REDACTED. What’s that even mean?A few deaths later…
Hypnos:
REDACTEDgot you again, huh.There is nothing I want more than to romance Hypnos. He’s my favorite character in a game that’s filled to the brim with outstanding competitors.

I wished your attempt at spoilering had worked, as I didn’t know that and now I do. 😂
Damn. Looks like I really should stop being lazy and check out some mobile clients that weren’t abandoned like Sync. It’s even reformatting my manually typed spoiler tags to the wrong format after I submit.
its all good! things do happen sometimes. its no problem. just a bit funny.
