Let's see those massively oversized things. To start with this classic, the insanely huge cars on the bridge section of Batman Arkham Origins.
Let’s see the most over the top examples of items that are wrong scaled in games.

Playing doom 3 in vr a while back had this effect; everything in the world seemed much bigger than it should have been.

I think the Mario games should get a pass on this given that Mario can grow and shrink in game.
Good grief, I thought that was a photoshopped image - the blue car is even bigger.
It looks like it was only for that section of the bridge, though, cause every other car during the boss battle seems to be decently proportional. Still super weird to see.

Which is why it stands out so much for the most part the cars in game are fairly realistically proportioned compared to the characters. But on the bridge section they are gigantic.
Though like a lot of games, some of the doors are very oversized in some of the buildings.

Huge booths or tiny people? Because either way that's hilarious.
Dracula is like twice as tall as Simon, do you think he only has furniture that fits the guy who wants to kill him?
Yet another Castlevania scaling issue. This one from Haunted Castle.
my same thought when I red the title thread.Lords of Shadow 2: The Thread
I couldn't find a screenshot of it so I apologize in advance, but the one that always stuck with me was the front doors on houses near where Little Jacob lives in GTA 4. They were really small, only coming up to Nico's neck if you stood right by them.
If anyone fancies recreating this screenshot for me I'd be grateful :P

Did anyone say car-sized cones? Don't worry, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 (AKA Kaido Racer 2 in PAL regions AKA Kaido Battle 3 in Japan AKA goddamn just choose a name for all regions and stick with it)
That's what happens when you get sloppy about scaling models from the beginning, or if you realize that a model is too small for gameplay purposes. Like the batman cars could be that size because a normal sized car would've been not enough cover. Giant Doors could be that size because the "correct" scale would be a nightmare of clipping and at that point you're too late in the process so you just scale up the asset instead of making a new one.

But... Japan!
This is a marginally better picture, but that entire place was massively out of proportion. Shoulder-high sinks, mirrors and hand-dryers too high for anyone to use them, and hallways large enough for like fifteen people to walk abreast.
But... Japan!
That cop is in for a heart attack when Majima jumps at him.
at least this one is intentional, especially when you see him climb on the sink to turn the faucet on
in the new games, Eternatus is now the biggest Pokemon in the lore. But uhhh, dunno why they scale them down so much (left)
Pokemon S/M
I was going to post this... the game is cartoony so it's less maybe jarring than other games. But at the beginning, you can't help to wonder how poor luigi is supposed to sit on that without falling to his death.
Those realistic games are ridiculous though, especially those without a hint of humour - I can't believe those huge cars in batman.

Yeah, tiny Eternatus is silly as heck.
Yeah I know, Luigi is just very small apparently. It would be very fun to see the same thing in Batman : He's trying to open a giant car door, so he jumps up to reach the door handle. And the climbs the seat like a child.again, it's intentional, i mean look at this :
Most From Software games have the majority of enemies significantly bigger than you. I think it's mostly done so that they are easier to see behind your character because fighting human size enemies makes this definitely tougher.
I don't know why developers would do this in other games. Why not just make doors slightly taller and wider than the player hitbox so they still look fine? Or in that FFXV scene why not just have an extra row of seats/tables and scale everything down to the right size?

A lot of FPS suffer of the "eyes-in-the-chest syndrome", where your point of view is lower of what should be and everything seems higher than the normal. One of the exceptions is the OG Prey, that opens in a well proportioned washroom:
Now you're going to say me that Link is too little in MInish Cap...
Then why don't use another type of vehicle? A pickup, a van, a truck? This isn't SMB3 with the Giant World!

I legit can't fathom why they keep doing this. Not like GF is confined to the tiny 3DS screen anymore. The whole gimmick is giant Pokemon, you'd think they'd be able to keep some scale for regular battles.
Everything in Banjo-Tooie looks like the maps were scaled up 1.5x at some point during development and they just never bothered to check if that made sense.

The bathroom is okay - it's Mario and Luigi that are dwarves!
