Oh hey look another dude telling me I'm over-reacting to seeing fellow women dressed up like space strippers, especially in a game where the men are generally 90%+ covered up and experience no ridiculous pervy anime situations or ass/bust shots. It's totally unfair and completely unbalanced; the design choices are damned obvious in their intention.
But by all means, tell me how we're being hyperbolic because I really want to know what the other lot isn't seeing.

Oh hey, the title thread is: Cringiest cutscene you have ever seen in a videogame.

Didn't realize this was about: "Xenoblade Chroncles 2 and it's offensive character designs", didn't we have like 30 or so of those threads back in December, 2017?

Cut it off. The very next part of my post shows the most cringe cutscenes i've seen in a game and trust me, Pyra's blushy crushy doesn't hold a candle to the... Things... They did with Ms. Arrow and Princia Ramode in F-Zero GX. It's great that you have a well-formed opinion to critizice Xenoblade 2 with actual arguments, I won't argue with that. But let's not go around and use threads as an excuse to push your narrative against this game.

I've said I like the game numerous times (check my posts, a bunch of my latest ones talk about the gameplay — I love this series, I HATE this aspect of tits and ass on a fairly substantial portion of designs), I even said I like the designs besides their unfortunate "need" to show off the girls in compromising outfits.

I post screenshots of what IS cringey and yeah the designs tie a lot into it when it's not obviously taking advantage of certain angled shots for 'better views', views which are NEVER used for male characters.

Maybe people keep bringing this game up for a reason...hmmm...HMMMM I wonder. Maybe it's because others really really don't like it either.

The game is out, and we're just working with what we got, and hyperbole has little to do with it and what we got was shameless and transparent with how it regards the female form. Even the cooler cutscenes end up distracting you because Pyra's tits are the size of her head, and almost every part of her outfit utilizes shapes and camera angles to accentuate her ass-ets.

I think k the problem is it is so embarrassingly creepy and filled with cringe that it's hard to even enjoy the game. Especially if you're constantly looking over your shoulder hoping no one walks in while you're playing.
I mean I would take that as opinion rather than fact. Honestly I feel it happened infrequently enough that I never once worried about looking over my shoulder, thats just my stance on it. Really most of the game actually was themed very well

I nominate Dante's "Shakespearean" cutscene in Devil May Cry 4. Of all Dante's cheesy scenes in 4 (most of which I adore), this has got to be Dante's lowest point in the series. The dialogue, Reuben Langdon's voice acting, the fireworks in the background, just everything about this scene was terrible and made me feel genuine cringe, it has aged like rotten cheese now that I'm rewatching it again.



Crossing fingers I never see anything like this in DMC5.



What's yours?

Your kidding right?

I absolutely loved how dante matches/makes fun of Agnus' craziness with his own dose of cheesiness!

My vote would go to the opening of DmC and when Mundus and Lilith is...uh....doin it

Are you even reading what I am posting?

I will NOT argue about the character designs of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The reason why I consider this apporach of XC2 as hyperbole is because of people getting into this thread to post things from the game that are nowhere near as bad as actual terrible cutscenes (Like the F-Zero GX ones, seriously go look at those!). Then go off from then and literally go off-topic to talk about the rest is the aspects of the game that people don't like I.E: Character designs.

I get it you don't like those aspects, you're free to criticize them, but seriously do it in a thread about that kind of stuff, getting XC2 into this thread is kind of reaching.

The cutscene at the start of Gambit matches in Destiny 2 is awful. I can't stand that character and voice actor either. His lines are swiss cheese.

Bro wtf I just went and watched that...ugh...."blushy crushy" scene. It's cringe. It's cringe as all fuck. The dialogue. The shit voice acting. The stupid music in the background. The questionable subject matter. It's cringe. It is all wrapped up in a pulsating, creepy, cringe induced package that is just so bad.

Ohh it's cringe alright, I won't argue that... But compared to some actual duds in the game industry, not even close. Maybe it's just recency bias, but XC2 is not even the worst insult in the JRPG genre.

BTW are Heart-to-hearts even considered "Cutscenes"?

Xenoblade 2 could have actually dignified designs for its women and it'd still be cringey because the issue there is the writing, the designs only maximize its issues.

Also threads like this always revolve around XC2 because XC2 is always relevant to them and happens to be popular, I don't get what you guys expect. Accept that a game you like has issues and move on.

Quiet is mentioned in every single thread similar to this and I've literally never seen an MG fan complain about it.

You make no sense whatsoever. Stop taking other people's disdain for a game you like as some kind of personal attack. Maybe the reason so many threads cropped up in Dec 2017 and why so many people are posting about it in this thread is because... it's actually that bad. Have some self-reflection.

Saying someone posting examples of XC2 in this thread is "pushing a narrative" says a lot.

Lmao, imagine a realistic shower scene where she spends a minutes cleaning her buttcrack and wiping soap from her eyes

lol alright "cleaning up" a shower sequence to avoid ass crack cleaning is probably a good choice then... xD
But I think what did it was literally having a bunch of dudes watching her...one LITERALLY whispering "Yeah she's a naughty girl; oh yeah" What. The. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllll
I mean on the other hand, how can I complain when the character seems to have been designed exactly for that kind of reaction.

I love XC2 including the "cringe" parts. Reminds me of all the romcoms/harem anime I used to watch. I can definitely see why some would cringe, but these all get a chuckle from me.

And some of the other examples in here are great, forgot many of these even happened lol, great thread!

Everything about Quiet is ridiculous, including the fact that it takes forever to unlock an actually decent outfit for her. You have to unlock silver and gold metallic skins for her first, like she is a fucking sports car or something.

I sure hope that's a "Nah" as in "Nah it's legit good."
After hours of being mocked, betrayed and terrorized by SHODAN and The Many and suffering from their insanely tough final battles, this was easily the most cathartic moment in SS2.
Can't wait to see how the soldier's interpreted in SS3.

What the shit is up with those Xenoblade Chronicles 2 cutscenes? Reaffirmed my decision to hold off on starting that game. LOL at the people defending it though. You guys need Jesus.

However, the most offensively bad cutscene was the Quiet one from MGSV for sure. Can't believe I had never seen that before. Truly mortifying stuff. Condolences to the people who had others walk in while that was playing. I'd rather be caught watching porn...

I'm very conflicted with this game. On one hand, XBC2 and the Torna DLC gave me some of my favorite emotional story moments in gaming. On the other hand, I can't wholeheartedly recommend the games to everyone, unlike my favorite JRPG games, the Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky trilogy, which have much better dialogue (the best I've seen in a JRPG), and lean much less heavily on anime tropes.
Agreed with both points, but I can't really recommend most JRPGs to everyone for one reason or another. Sora no Kiseki has the best writing in any JRPG I've ever played, and it's not even close, it's a shame that Sen no Kiseki went anime/fanservice tbh, even if the game is really good even though. I personally I'm not conflicted at all, I loved the game even with it's flaws (which is basically what I do with every game I love), and I'm more open to accept this kind of flaws than bad gameplay personally.

:D IS THIS THE PART WHERE YOU'RE TOTALLY GONNA START A THREAD ABOUT HOW CONCERNED YOU ABOUT VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE? :D

I think I will do exactly that later. Baffles my mind that most really young kids play that game and nobody kills that they kill eachother. I mean yes I played Counterstrike too, but I was a bit older. But I guess it's gun culture? Where as a game with 14 hours of cutscenes with not even 30 minutes of (yes it's obviously too much for many and I also don't some designs) stupid weeb fanservice gets complained about in every thread. Most Star Ocean 4 cutscenes are way more stupid in regards to cringyness. I understand that some people complain about XC2 for designs or bad performance, but it's really annoying when people act like this is the whole game. To each their own I guess.

dragon quest 11 is a cringe fest. Its like every 30 minutes you something cringy
It has a fair amount of cringe, but let's not go crazy there. The most cringey thing I remember from the game (I finished it 2 days ago) is Veronica's "easy peasy" victory line, it's awful. In fact Veronica was cringey most of the time. But aside from that (and some Sylvando lines or Toriyama's 10 year-old level sex jokes) I woulnd't say that the game is that cringey. Boring, yeah, it's as boring as an JRPG can get, but not that cringey.

And as always, another Xc2-centered thread. I do more or less understand the complaints from the designs in the game, even more knowing that is a really great game and could been even better without them, but I do think that some people have a really limited memory if they really think that this is the cringiest game ever.

Holy shit, I was just joking about the Jesus thing. I was just trying to convey my exasperation at the game's ridiculously over-the-top animu ridiculousness in those cutscenes. You immediately jumping to the game's defense by talking about kids killing each other in Fortnite is by far cringier than all the videos posted here combined.

it's absolutely brilliant. Whole game is super dark and depressing and everything sucks and everyone is dead and it's just dread upon dread. Then you reach the end, and after all your character has gone through, after everything, all he gives her is a smug-ass "nah" as he blasts her into oblivion.

Sorry I get triggered when somebody pulls the good old jesus card. I don't why it's cringier to complain about young kids (under 12) killing eachother in a comic shooter and making that seem harmless? Gun culture is bad. I am from Germany so seeing underboob or boobs in general is far less worse for me than seeing kids eachother killing online, making eachother angry and getting addicted to loot. I guess we view that differently cause of cultural differences which is okay in my book. I don't exactly like all the designs in XC2 and I understand why some people complain about them, but the whole game is not as horrible and cringy as some people in here try to make it be.

Edit: I don't want to derail that further so let's stay at that and PM me if you wanna talk for real. I will open a thread later about violence and Fortnite.

No one in the Fortnite universe dies, it's a cartoony world where people have fun shooting at each other and dropping out of a bus from impossible heights with glee. Using guns that only vaguely resemble real life models. It's like saying that kids shouldn't be watching marvel movies or even cartoon films as they have the same level of violence tat Fortnite does. Arguably more so as death matters in those and is presented as an actual death instead of a "Whoopsie daisy back to the title screen you go"

I would love to see anybody defend Mass Effect 2's Miranda romance scenes. Please, I am actually begging you to explain how meaningful it was, true to life, how it touched you in some positive way or something. Anything.
I mean, I don't even remember them, they were unremarkable (and I pursued the Miranda path in ME2).

I just don't get how that means the game pushed video games back 15 years, it's terribly hyperbolic.

Number of sales is not the same as consumer satisfaction with the product they bought.
I've bought it thinking that it would be as good as xenoblade 1.
I was horribly mistaken, didn't like the game, but did cobtribute to the sales numbers.

You know one thing that ruins the original Xenoblade's cutscenes a bit? The High Entia emperor is voiced by the X-Factor announcer dood. Whenever he calls somebody's name (usually Melia's) you're expecting a sudden montage of clips interspersed with Simon Cowell's scathing comments...

The best part of that Quiet dancing in the rain cutscene is that it ends with her splashing water at Big Boss and him giggling.

Kojima is probably 12-18 months away from getting #metoo'd. I'm kind of surprised the level of flack he received for Quiet wasn't higher. And it was already pretty high to begin with, at least going by this industry's miserable standards for tasteful depictions of the female body.

David Cage's games have a good amount of those. The sex scene in Heavy Rain was pure cringe.
The "let's make another baby" dialogue while the main guy was mourning over his son's grave was... something else.

EDIT:
there was one in Heavy Rain at the end where the dad was standing over his son's grave, and the woman comes up to him and is like "I want you to give me a child"

just this whole thing is bad

Yep. That one.

Comic shooter, so yeah, it is not Call of Duty or Battlefield.
