That image sums up so many things wrong with the gaming industry right now.

I understand the point but what's do different from watching hours of cutscenes like in any other games? This is basically a cutscene in which there's just a button-requirement to proceed. I mean it's nothing new, FF7 had hours of cutscenes with you clicking X and cycling conversations. Here you click X and pay respect.

(CoD is a shit btw).

SMH right now

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Ugh the circlejerk in this thread is sickening. I forgot how ridiculous people act when it's cool to hate on something, I bet 9 out of 10 people in this thread haven't even seen the scene and I'm not sure why there was a thread created about it and even more ridiculous is that it's now at 9 pages?

I am the biggest CoD hater since Blops1 and even I am enjoying AW.

I've read this entire topic. I have no idea how something as completely unremarkable as a quick time event in a video game could be as blown out of proportion as it has in this thread.

This isn't remotely funny.

You're right.

Editing the post that got you a humiliating tag because the post's original content was soulless garbage that was thankfully immortalized by multiple posters who quoted you, now that's funny.

What an event?
We hardcore 100%
Making it stick, Neogaf proudly presents
The real deal, how does it feel?

Yank the chain off of your neck
Demand the respect

It would be even better if you could pay respects by donating a dollar to some veteran organization from your credit card. Less DLC, more respects.

 

[Gambit 1138]

This is more embarrassing than that COD ghosts video last year where they hyped up fish moving away from you and the dog being able to move his jaw

 

[beelzebozo]

respects pay smoother on xbone

F.

That's code for giving you my respect.

 

[Yager]

F.K. in the coffin

Bahahahaha. I love you.

 

[SMOK3Y]

Dude, that screenshot is compressed to hell and back. And it's probably from the PS4 version, which means it's either a Facebook or Twitter image.

Visuals are pretty damn good from what I've seen/read/heard.

Edit: Oh, there is a key prompt; I'm dumb

PS4 don't have an F?

 

[texhnolyze]

So you can get promoted after paying respects?
I guess I should've just get into the military.

 

[Infernoabyss]

LMAOOO IM CRYING

 

[Randam]

Your friend wrote you an email with the pic?
In my whole life I never send a private email.

 

[Alienous]

Holy shit.

 

[Readingaid]

I dont get it, i played through this sectionlast night and maybe its me but i dont think its funny or sad or anything really. You lot played Watch Dogs right? You can decimate a graveyard anf vault over gravestones. Sleeping dogs? Go nuts and do kung fu kicks if u want. But here you simply pay respects and somehow its newsworthy. Boggling.

Why would I have to play the game to laugh at some shitty throw away scene?

 

[Alienous]

PS4 don't have an F?

What? How the fuck am I meant to Pay Respects then?

 

[SalvaPot]

This thread is amazing.

 

[Tunahead]

I can't in good conscience endorse this image, as it ignores the basic premise of the scene, which is that Dante failed to be the one to fill her dark soul with light. As such, the QTE there should be some impossibly fast fifty button sequence, or maybe one where it asks you to do something simple yet obviously impossible, like rotate the third analogue stick, or press L4.

 

[Graphics Horse]

What? How the fuck am I meant to Pay Respects then?

You have to draw the letter f on the touch pad

Conan's reaction to this at 3 minutes 57 seconds is hilarious.

[DocSeuss]

Because it's not throwaway, it's actually the game's turning point, the incident where the protagonist meets up with Spacey Robot Dad and becomes his new robot son.

Honestly, I don't know how they could have done this better. I would like to see how someone could do this properly in a game, but the only thing that comes up is the heartrendingly melancholic motorcycle moment at the end of Thirty Flights of Loving.

What? How the fuck am I meant to Pay Respects then?

I think this is further proof that Sony is a terrible corporation. Don't even give you proper means to respect the dead. How horrible.

I am more surprised by the love that golf grass gets. Damn. That grass is like green everywhere.

Are you talking about the generic green astroturf people placed around coffins to cover the dirt or the nature of Arlington National Cemetery?

 

[daniels]

Sooo edgy
Ever since the stupid no russian mission cod is like this one annoying stupid friend in school that tries waaaayyyy to hard to act cool but he isnt fooling anyone with his charade.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Bless you Dawg.

Okay that got me lololol

 

[Instro]

I feel like the scene would be better if someone popped out of the casket and killed the player character.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Wait...that was what the post originally said? It's been edited since then...

 

[Chmpocalypse]

I trust this scene has Kinect support.

Achievement for real tears

Second secret achievement if you rend your garments

that would be so fucking stealth it would hurt my lungs

Yes, you can find quotes of it in the thread along with further awful posts.

this thread isn't even really about AW anymore

 

[mandiller]

This is the PS4 version. When I first played through it it made me crack up so I took a tv pic.

 

[Ape]

You aren't joking...

Wow, I just read that thread since it was only 2 pages and goddamn

 

[SpyGuy239]

SO MUCH WIN.

In German it's even more hilarious:

 

[securitypigeon]

Am I the only one who isn't particularly bothered by this??

 

[ElyrionX]

I can't be the only one who does not see what the big deal is.

 

[eot]

Even better.

What, is the Guile theme actually in Ace Combat? haha

You guys have bright futures as game designers, don't let the haters get you down.

 

[WordsintheWater]

It's not a big deal, but why is it in there? When I played it I chuckled, said it was useless and then did it. There's just no reason for it.

 

[GenericUser]

In German it's even more hilarious:

Only one step away from a kondolations minigame.

Swipe the touchpad to wipe tears off, press both sticks simultaneously to blow nose.

 

[Ian]

Haha! This is amazing!

Press G to cry eagle tears and pledge allegiance to the flag.

Is it appropriate for all US citizens to use "Press F to vote" today on Facebook?

 

[Auto-Reply]

In German it's even more hilarious:

Press X to gondolieri!

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I agree its silly, but we've seen stuff like this a thousand times before. I don't understand what makes this so remarkable.
