* It's rather amazing how many people will quote one line from ''[[Silent Hill 3]]'': "Monsters? They looked like monsters to you?" Check this wiki's [[Fridge Horror]] page for the usual reaction. What they leave out is the follow-up: "...kidding! Just kidding." In the context of the series, the monsters of Silent Hill really ''are'' monsters. Although, arguably, it'd just be like Konami to not be kidding.

* In ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4'', Nero's special Devil Bringer move against {{spoiler|Sanctus}}: brutally pummeling an old man in the gut with his giant demonic arm, ''repeatedly.'' If you know what that old man was up to it's a bit less unheroic to be doing that, but it's still hard to watch.

* Due to foreign [[MMOs]] sometimes having been through [[Blind Idiot Translation]], we get some weird terms that most bystanders would be freaked out by. Namely in [[RF Online]], you could get someone saying something like "I'm killing hobos for money!". Hobo is actually a type of enemy that is good farming material for lower levels.

* The way [[Persona 3|Evokers]] (handgun-shaped devices needed for summoning Personas) are used - by putting it to your head and pulling the trigger - can be disturbing even to those who know that they don't shoot bullets. This is especially jarring during the opening cutscene (when you aren't supposed to know about it yet), where one of the characters seemingly tries to kill herself. Strangely enough, a lot of people find Evokers one of the [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|coolest things in the franchise]].

* Not only is ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' about an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] trying to destroy the the ''multi-verse'', an entire chapter of the story is dedicated to the heroes' murder and their descent into the underworld. It's actually presented in a humorous tone, and the characters actually make it to heaven before continuing on with their quest.
