Never Live It Down/Video Games: Difference between revisions

Line 52:

** Only because we're all confused as to whether or not we were ever actually made his bitches.

** Best described in [http://archive.gamespy.com/articles/june03/dumbestmoments/index.shtml a 2003 Gamespy article detailing the 25 dumbest moments in video game history] (a list in which Ion Storm [[Rule of Three|appears three times]]):

{{quote| ''"John Romero is a talented guy who has contributed to and designed [[Doom (series)|some really]] [[Quake (series)|cool games]], but Daikatana is such a colossal Mount Everest of failure that it tends to overshadow just about everything else."''}}

* In-story of ''[[Mercenaries]] 2'', your merc will be known throughout Venezuela as "the merc that Solano shot in the ass".

* Francis has this in ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' during the Crash Course campaign. Ever since Zoey shot the (infected) helicopter pilot that saved them from No Mercy hospital and they wound up crashing, Francis will take every moment he can get to remind Zoey of what she did.

Line 71:

** ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' forever cursed Shadow with a reputation as an amnesiac constantly [[Wangst|Wangsting]] about being uncertain of his true identity, even though he almost immediately got [[Shadow the Hedgehog|his own game]] which resolved all that.

*** Shadow even had a decidedly ''un-angsty'' line, giving off a riff Sonic would've been proud of. ''To Sonic himself''.

** On a related case to Sonic, Dimps. This development studio made some nice [[Sonic Advance Trilogy|2D]] [[Sonic Rush Series|platformers]] for the series, and [[Street Fighter IV|some other well-received games.]] But the only thing they'll ever be remembered for is "[[Ruined FOREVER|ruining]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog 4|Sonic 4]]".

* Zelda is known for being kidnapped constantly, and apparently every game is based on this concept. This is not the case. Admittedly, Zelda has been rescued in several games, she is often depicted as being able to take care of herself. The most famous Zelda game is arguably ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'', and you actually discover late in the game that {{spoiler|she was the kick-awesome ninja dude that has been fighting evil and bossing you around for half the game.}} Zelda HAS been kidnapped, enchanted, turned to stone and whatnot for half of the game, but the other half was spent kicking butt.
