This is a perfect response because David Cage's skill as a game/movie maker is roughly equivalent to sports trash like SAS/Skip.

I mean it's the point, they're literally fake laughing. It's not supposed to be real lol
Pretty much any cutscene from any Japanese game from the past decade. Japanese developers sure love to hear that cringey dialogue and watch those unfunny scenes of the main character accidentally staring up the love interest's skirt. And how the cutscene camera always focus on the skirt when looking at a woman, no matter if she's talking or doing impressive martial arts, it's only the skirt that matters. More than anything they love to see those tiresome same damn tropes inserted in its stories in every game, over and over and over.
This game is a trainwreck. Who the fuck came up with this shit?
Absolutely hated MGSV for this.
This wins for me. Completely uncalled for.
No, it wasn't. It had some standard anime sci-fi tropes in the overall story but it did not have this garbage harem anime nonsense with "jokes" that were already played out in the early '80s. Rarely have I ever seen a series crater in quality the way Xenoblade has. Worst of all, XC2 sold well in comparison to the other two, because it was released on a successful system in its prime, not as a store exclusive at the end of the Wii's life or released on a system going down in flames, so this is probably what the series is going to be from now on. It's criminal. The fact that there are people defending this putrid horseshit in this thread is almost as embarrassing as XC2 itself.
I wish people who inexplicably defend that scene would stop thinking this is some kind of dramatic revelation or useful counterargument. Everyone who points out that scene as terrible knows this. Yes, it's the character fake laughing. It's terrible fake laughing. The whole scene is badly directed and badly acted, even when taken as what it's supposed to be. It's a bad, embarrassing scene from concept to execution and everything in between.
I think I'm going with a different kind of cringe than every one else here, but it's Norman Reedus peeling off his toenail in Death Stranding. Eeeeeee
I played this game so much growing up (was a edgy child), but always thought this intro was bizzare. Did shadow kill sonic or did sonic get killed by the guys shadow was fighting? Also why is the moon so large.
Guys, you can cringe as much as you want at that scene of the bed in XC2, but to say it is the CRIGIEST scene you ever saw in a video game?
You can find it distasteful, unfunny, cliche, cringe... But it's a exaggeration to say it's the cringiest scene you ever seen. Or this isn't he first game you ever played.

I've played many JRPG's, and XC 2 scene takes the top spot along with Star Ocean 4 in its entirety.
When you have low standards, I guess it isn't cringey.
Also, opinions how do they work?
Mass Effect 2 romance dialogue/scenes by 80 light years. Poor Yvonne Strakowski could've used gasoline to wash out her mouth after suffering the indignity of saying those lines.
Mass Effect 2 was 10 years ago and it still makes me wretch thinking about it. I think it set back video games 15 years lol

we'd have solved world hunger by now if people took issues as seriously as they take video games on the internet
Those physics, though...
And while we're at it, I'll post the fixed version:
You're right. However, XC2 is by far the most cringe inducing game I've ever played when taken as a whole. I dont usually care what games my wife sees me play, but I had to turn that shit can off when she came in the room. After 5-10 hours I couldn't take it anymore and stopped playing.
This shit, especially the unbelievably bad fecal jokes that go with him in Act 1.
To be fair, it was their first fully voiced game in addition to adapting to the Japanese dialogue movements. They simply weren't going to knock it out of the park the first time around.
It's all in good fun.
One of many. I was blown away just how cringey it got.
Exactly! One of my main issues with the game. Thankfully the Japanese VA was available as DLC. A lot of people seemed to like it, but I'm playing DQXI now and the contrast in VA direction is astronomical.

This completely caught me off guard the first time I saw it. Just straight up embarrassing.
The "shower" scene is just as bad.

This thread basicaly became "lol, japan". Ok, guys, people in another culture think different of you, big surprise. I'm sure that make fun of that will surely make them really welcome in bringing their games for this side. And people wonder why so many localizations efforts choose to simple cut content.
Lol, now this a good one. Specially around the 32:20 mark.

The internet... so this is what it's summit looks like. Truly we have reached the peak.
Omfg wow, that takes all the awfulness of a badly written, badly dubbed anime and just makes it even worse.
Also, can games please stop having characters who have random British (and sometimes American) regional accents? It's so contrived and weird. It's like the video game version of an Englishman and Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar...
As someone with a regional accent, it is nice to hear these in games, but not as arbitrary markers of difference between characters. I mean, they're basically used to make up for shit voice acting, so the characterisation is supposedly portrayed by the accent alone rather than any acting skill.
Well, looks like XC2's material is already covered lol. I have never played Star Ocean 4 myself but it's definitely nappy time, so damn bizarre and creepy. I thought it was mostly the localization but the japanese version isn't that different.
Very sad how Japan gets mocked for the creepy shit in their media. We should be more tolerant of it since apparently it's inherent to their culture and they just can't help it, right.
I would say I cringe more every time the Xeno2 hate shows up.
As for video games, anyone where there a US flag prominently displayed along with any kind of cheap patriotic crap going on... Cringe to 1,000,000%

Yeah, era is embarrassingly obsessed with hating it. Most if the people that liked it have moved on, but almost two years later the haters are still chugging away.
I don't think it's true is every case, but generally their accent depends on the titan they're from. Ardanian -> Scottish. Tornans have American accents. You can argue that it's dumb or ineffective or whatever, but it's not random.
Edit: Lora is the big hole in this theory though, lol.
It's actually sad, because the hate started since the day the game was ANNOUNCED. Down to calling out anyone that will not agree that the game would be delayed.
