Most video games come with very simple objectives that can be boiled down to do this, kill that, find who and go where etc. But once in awhile we find a gem.

Advanced Warfare had "Press F to pay respect"

Persona 5 have "Live an honest student life"

Afro Samurai 2 Kuma's Revenge have "Confront the guilt of knowing they died alone."

So what are some of your personal standouts?

 

[Varjet]

Protect Earth

 

[Antiwhippy]

Confront the reality that everyone you love is dead, and their memories are all you have - Afro samurai 2

 

[Triteon]

SR2: Spray shit on these homes to lower the property values.

 

[Shifty]

Wicked thread idea, and TW101 is a deserved first post. The one from Afro Samurai 2 has piqued my interest as well- is that game/series worth a playthrough?

HEAVY Dragon's Dogma spoilers, don't click if you haven't played to completion. You've been warned:

Spoiler

"Live as the Seneschal."
You basically become god and lose the ability to interact with the mortal world. Bit of a kicker for an open-world game.

 

[hans_castorp]

That horse quest from The Witcher 3 BaW.

Pure comedy

 

[DiipuSurotu]

 

[True Fire]

HITMAN the thread. Disguising yourself as a runway model is definitely one of the highlights.

 

[Cheat Code]

SHOOT ME IN THE FACE

 

[televator]

Press X to Jason/Shaun in Heavy Rain

Edit: Oh, you meant like a real quest/mission objective

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Final Fantasy X-2 Jack up LeBlanc's satisfaction meter up to 32 in 15 rounds

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Spoiler

Typing of the Dead: Overkill

 

[Village]

Final fantasy 14 where its telling you to rub oil on some old dudes body, like 4 times.

 

[Correctomundo]

Face McShooty.

Edit: Beaten like a shotgun to the face.

 

[Shifty]

SHOOT ME IN THE FACE

Damn, I knew BL2 had a good one.

THANKYOU

 

[cm osi]

there are so many of them in yakuza games

"deliver a hot pizza to a foreigner worker so she can keep working in japan"

 

[Tuffty]

Not exactly a mission objective but

Spoiler

Press X to time travel

in Titanfall 2

Afro Samurai 2 has some ridiculous mission objectives though. "Confront the reality that everyone you love is dead, and their memories are all you have"

 

[DoctorFling]

I remember a funny one from Arkham City

Spoiler

Stop the Joker from gaining immortality

I found it hilarious how goofy it was

 

[televator]

Saints Row 3&4

Ragdoll like crazy in traffic intersections to commit insurance fraud.

 

[skny]

Witcher 3 quest where you find the missing balls of a statue.

Edit: I realized OP is asking for a direct quote from the game so mine doesn't really work.

 

[SpaceWolf]

One does not simply not kiss your wife in Mordor.

 

[TheBowen]

Confront the reality that everyone you love is dead, and their memories are all you have - Afro samurai 2

Loved when the best friends played this game and they were in hysterics at this point

 

[sixteen-bit]

One does simply not kiss your wife in Mordor.

this was so hilarious

 

[singhr1]

 

[MGrant]

From Portal 2:

Just the achievement timing.

 

[zswordsman]

Claptrap's birthday party

Spoiler

when you have to take the pizza because no one came and he bought too much

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Damn, I knew BL2 had a good one.

THANKYOU

Yeah, it's a good one.

Isn't there one about The World's Largest Bullet in one of the DLCs for the game? General Knoxx maybe?

 

[mclem]

There's lots in WoW, but the first one that sprung to mind is this one from WoW:

 

[swit]

Robbing Fargoth in Morrowind.

 

[lucebuce12]

Not really an objective, more of a choice but Saints Row 4 had great ones. If you chose the left option, he/she punches him straight on the crotch.

 

[Correctomundo]

Yeah, it's a good one.

Isn't there one about The World's Largest Bullet in one of the DLCs for the game? General Knoxx maybe?

Yeah. You pay $8 million for a tour of the World's Largest Bullet. Pay the money and then nothing happens. You get an achievement, though, so yay. I guess.

 

[Gaspard]

Protect Earth

So hype

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Just to clarify guys, what I meant is objective titles.

(Looking back I guess the Advance Warfare one was doesn't count lol)

The Afro Samurai one is legit, another good one from Persona 5 that is not a spoiler is "Obidently return home" lol.

 

[Tizoc]

Apparently no one in this thread has played a yakuza game
In yakuza 0 you had a stealth side mission where u had to navigate around people in a back alley in order to buy a wrapped adult magazine from a vending machine for an 8 year old. If you qre spotted you must restart but it is a short trek to the machine
Kiryu literally does a fist pump when he succeeds

There is also the sidequest titled 'How to train your dominatrix'


Edit- ah u mean main game objectives
Ill try to remember some and post later

 

[Dantrist]

Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom
- Annoy Squidward

You just have to jump around him and/or break his stuff, and you get a golden spatula.

[Baron von Loathsome]

Protect Earth

First post wins again.

 

[Impetuous Imp]

BL2 also had one where you deliver a pizza (which you find out is skag piss & marshmallows or something like that) to what were essentially the teenage mutant ninja turtles.

 

[MattKeil]

Another good Persona 5 one was

Spoiler

"Prove your existence"

 

[R00bot]

I liked how the first proper quest you got in BoTW was "Destroy Ganon". Really set the tone for the game and left the player to decide how to go about it.

Spoiler

I know this isn't a funny one but I still think it was quite brilliant.

 

[itsbenoclock]

Saints Row IV - Kill Evil You

 

[SENPAIatLARGE]

 

[Dio]

Drakengard 3.

 

[marmoka]

Kill all fucking gods.

(Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse)

 

[McNum]

Since "PROTECT EARTH" is already here, I'll just add another from The Wonderful 101.

"Reason with Blue...

Spoiler

with your fists!

"

They could have used the generic "Triumph in Battle!" objective for that, which most other fights have, but I'm glad they didn't.
