Same with NMH2. Every half hour of play time ended with a ten minute Sylvia monologue with the camera switching between different shots of her chest.

If they would have translated that line properly I might have actually respected her a little more.
That makes me sad.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Is it really tri-Ace or Square Enix who are responsible for awkward cutscenes? I mean Resonance of Faith was by tri-Ace but it wasn't awkward nor cringeworthy (although silly on purpose) and it was published by Sega.

Sex scenes in The Witcher 2.
Every scene with the cole train in any Gears game and anytime Gears tries to emotional.
Any romance crap in a Bioware game, except those involving Morrgian in Dragon Age 1.
Meryl and Johnny Pirates Rip-off marriage proposal in MGS4.
The entirety of any Tales of Game.

I couldn't deal with Kingdom Hearts to the point of turning the television off during cutscenes. Never completed the game.

The fact that the Metal Gear Mk III is flailing around, like Otacon is really controlling it to do that, gets me into a laughing fit each and every single time.
The first time I saw this scene was with a friend and we couldn't stop laughing for the next 20 minutes.
Just about any cutscene or monologue from Metroid: Other M. There's a lot to choose from, but even the very beginning of the game, with Samus zoned out on some sort of space dentist chair, is genuinely painful. "I had been reliving the tragic moments of my recent past." Tell me about it.

Hard to believe it took so long hahahaha
I heard there are quite a few embarassing scenes in Gears 3 as well, but I don't have that much money to waste right now.
Edit:
This as well.
At first I thought it was a joke, but then it got serious and BioWare fans made a lot of fuss because there was no ''sex scene'' in the game featuring both.

What little I seen of Star Ocean 4, I don`t know how anyone can beat that in the awkward meter. Wow.

Skip to 8minutes
Spoilers if you care. (you shouldnt)
If this scene was not in the game, it would have been SO much better. The entire story and Samus's character turned to complete shit at this moment.

Haha this wins. Goddamn SOIV. It's like the ultimate unintentional comedy goldmine of videogames.

I'm not sure why I feel so strongly about this, but there's a scene towards the end of Silent Hill 4 that is bar none the most awkward and poorly-paced scene in the series
: the part where you finally meet
The scene seems to go on about twice as long as it should, which is weird in a series that had, until that point, always done a great job pacing and directing its cutscenes. I also felt the music playing during the scene was a weird, unfitting piece, which is REALLY odd given Yamaoka's genius.
Yeah. Most of MGS2, really.
(up until that point lolololo)
the ghost of Joseph Schreiber.
Yeah. Most of MGS2, really.
uuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh that one was bad

That's supposed to be a pretty good game otherwise, right?
But that was supposed to be awkward and pervy.

I was streaming when I got to this part and my friend over skype couldn't believe what he was seeing/hearing. I highlighted the part, titling it "This game should never have been made"

When I saw that scene I threw my controller down and I asked myself "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?"
also , any scene with Groose in Skyward Sword. Such a horrible character.

Dear god, I could watch it for 10 seconds before I shut the window.
OP didn't say it had to be unintentional.

Also, Deus Ex HR.
Those supposedly good dialog are ruined by the boring Jensen's voice and the... well... weird NPC actions as if they have ants in their pants.

Pretty much any of David Cage's "direction" for scenes in Heavy Rain.
- "Oh let's have Madison in sexually provocative situations all the time" You can pretty much imagine Cage masturbating furiously as he "playtested" these sections.
- The game trying to convince us that 10 year old kids actually act like they're 5
- The terrible scenes with the "kids" late in the game
- Horrible acting all over the place, pretty much constantly
- The most moronic "police work" ever seen, we're talking Simpsons-type bad, except the Simpsons are meant to be comedic
- "Oh hey dad I'm just gonna run in the middle of traffic and noooooooooo"
... honestly pretty much scene in this game is cringeworthy

Metal Gear Solid 4. I'd dare not narrow it down to a single scene.
My god that is terrible. I couldn't help but laugh at that sad face thumbs down. What age-bracket is stuff like this supposed to be targeting?

I see Other M has been mentioned. Any scene with Samus' dreary monologues would qualify, but I found this to be one of the worst:

Perfect for a series filled with mystery and cryptic appeal.

Yeah, that crap was really corny. Timm handled those two characters poorly, turning them into caricatures basically.
Oh god I can't hold the laughter in,people at work starting to think am crazy.
