Particular (scenes from) games you'd be embarrassed to show to others?

Probably anything in a JRPG. Most are chringe worthy affairs.
Like many, the FFX HA HA HA scene immediately sprung to mind when I saw the thread title. I think that's the all time crowning achievement in embarassing gaming. Random others:
- The whose-boobs-are-bigger scene in FFX-2. Heck, a lot of FFX-2 in general.
- Most if not all of the overacting in Heavenly Sword. Especially Whiptail. And Kai. And Flying Fox. Ok, everyone except Nariko.

The older I get, the more I fear getting caught in front of the telly grinning stupidly at pixel bosoms.
In Mass Effect, I was already dreading the romance scene.
It's interesting that watching a movie or tv-series with explicit scenes doesn't make me feel embarrassed, but games usually manage to treat romance in a puerile fashion.
To give credit to Mass Effect, when Liarra finally walked into my Shepard's cabin, the whole sequence was well designed.

Oh man, definitely We Love Katamari. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a level where you were rolling up cities and crap, but I was caught on the level where you roll up flowers, and that really quaint French sounding song is playing. My Mom just looked at me like "What the hell is this..." :lol
I'll have to second Soul Calibur IV.
My roommate's girlfriend is over ALL the time, and she's stupid about even mature uses of sex in the media (turns her nose up at me when I watch Nip/Tuck, like I'm a pervert or something).
If I play SCIV when it's released... hell, I wouldn't even blame her. :lol

That's a good choice. How about all the redone scenes in Twin Snakes while we're at it?
Except the hallway scene. Good lord, the hallway scene.

I kind of felt embarrassed playing Crysis when my dad was watching. It was running at a really bad frame rate at the time, and I kept saying "It doesn't always run this bad...it's just....it's just bad right now". I don't think he really cared but I felt I had to justify why I was playing a pretty looking slideshow.
I remember a cousin and his mate at my house once and I was playing Rayman 2 for the first time as they just sat behind me watching. For some reason the cut scenes were pretty embarrassing (and unskipable). Maybe it was the voice work that did it.
I also remember the first time I plaved Dead or Alive 2, and my sister was in the room. The moment Tina first showed up on screen, I remember her saying "oh my god!" in disgust. :lol

Grand Theft Auto series, I want people to think I have some semblance of taste...
j/k (since I know some of the mods love the series) but I am not really embarassed to show games to others, the people who I show games to usually enjoy games and can get over stuff like shitty voice acting or corny one liners or overly large breasted female characters.

I think a long time ago, I used to get excited at nice CG movies from games like the FF series and wanted to show friends + families.
Their generally apathetic attitude made me realize now that showing people your games is a pretty embarrassing act in itself.
Unless of course, you made it.

I played Gals Panic S on a projector at a video game convention this weekend and was pretty embarrassed when I got 100%. But I did a head turn to make sure no kids were looking, so I felt fine.
Plus, I was drunk.

Otacon's confession about his affair with his step-mother or whoever it was. I remember discretely skipping it when someone was watching me play through the game.

I remember trying to get 100% with all girls,in an arcade machine, with some of my friends...few years ago,of course. (we were young,...testosterone.....lol)
It was embarrassing....,but fucking funny at the same time,each time we completed a stage another nerdy teen kid joined to the other kids looking at the scenes....

Most of my friends are gamers, and the ones that aren't are used to it by now, as is my family, so generally I don't worry too much about this stuff.
The only time I do is when I'm bringing a woman home, and frankly when I know I'm having a girl over I stuff my gaming stuff into a closet like it's a dead hooker.

My mom had psychic powers when it came to video games and bad timing when I was growing up; any SLIIIIIIGHTLY risque scene she'd blunder into my room for some little thing, like her blundering in on Tekken 2's intro when I fired it up for the first time and seeing the Nina part. I'm assuming she assumed it was some nebulous sex game she heard about on some talk show by her reaction. *shrug*
It extended to RPGs, too. I could never beat an RPG and sit thru the end credits in peace. I didn't see an ending in its entirety till I was out on my own 6 years ago. :lol
