Nothing in a game will ever be as unintentionally hilarious as this one Sonic Forces’ cutscene

Here is my non-Sonic contender after hours of deliberation. The ending to Limbo of the Lost:
It is impossible to say what the intention to this crack-cocaine fever dream was -NO context can explain this- but it will shower you with emotions in a way even Z-grade 90s FMV games can´t. Hideaki Anno, Lars von Trier and David Lynch eat your hearts out. 15 years of development (!!!) well spent I say.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the protagonist Benjamin Briggs is an actual 19th-century explorer and captain of the Mary Celeste.

Hell don't forget the game was pulled from shelves cause it stole assets from other games and just shoved them in there.
This is the perfect video game version of a mix between Return of the King's and Endgame's climax.
I don't understand how Sonic continues to have diehard fans. The franchise as a whole is just a shitshow most of the time. Like that cutscene honestly looks like a bad fanfiction creation, not something that was actually in a mainline Sonic game. At least Mania exists.
People still buy this crap despite that though. I'm assuming in a world without mania this would probably just slowly damage the Sonic brand (as younger gamers come in and have no attachment to the brand) until he did eventually become irrelevant. Although they used Sonic to chase trends it seems like the core formula (world building and story telling) for the modern games still caters to the worst of the fanbase.
I think what they did with mania shows that his classic form and game formula is simple, cute lovable and timeless, the modern at this point represents everything wrong with the series, they can't escape that.
I still want to pick this up someday. Hopefully someone has it for $10 or less on Black Friday.
A franchise that fills a niche will continue to exist regardless of quality unless there is competition
In the last 25 years, Spark the Electric Jester 2 is pretty much the only 3D "not Sonic" game on the market
Not worth shelving out money for it if they can't trust Sonic Team to make a good game that increases the popularity of their brand.
This feels a bit like screening a clip from The Room and going "did you SEE all the minor continuity mistakes they made between shots? boy this is laughable!"
I try not to say this often, but that was actual cringe.
A fucking war scene attempt in a sonic game. Hold me

Thank you for posting this. I'm not kidding when I say this might be my favorite Sonic cutscene of all time, and definitely among my favorite cutscenes in general. I hated Silver so much that it was just incredibly cathartic to watch Shadow smack his dumb ass to the ground like it was nothing.
Silver's not as bad as these days, but god, his debut couldn't have been more poorly handled. Kinda reminds me of Axl's introduction in Mega Man X7, actually, just even worse.
As for the topic itself, that's a really good one OP but I'm not sure anything can ever out-hilarious/out-cringe this "universally" "beloved" "gem":
