Cyberpunk 2077, you have to save two of the most incompetent cops that exist. For such a dark and depressing universe, whenever there are hints of humor those always get me.

I think whoever designed the ads in CP2077 deserves a special prize.

Baldur's Gate 3, quite often

Just yesterday, when I told the great wizard Lorroakan

Gris is an amazing game. Love the soundtrack too.

In Borderlands 4, there’s a side quest to cure someone of being a psycho. You need to get a handful of macguffins and plug them into this elaborate machine. There’s a lot of whirring and build-up, and then the machine essentially zaps the psycho and makes him explode. “He’s cured!” It got me, lol.

Or the side quest of the rocket that didn’t blow up and you do all of this grabbing parts, set up, fight Order forces and you finally get to launch the missile which developed a bond with humans but didn’t want to be a dud. They end up being fireworks instead of an actual missile.

Doki Doki Litrure Club. Ending spoilers

TitleThere is a big twist about Monica calling you by your actual name. The name you gave when setting up your computer. That’s how I realised I made a typo in my name. So this big impactful moment fell flat on its face

Me loves litrure too.

Saints Row (2022) had some of my flavour of silliness.

Weirdly - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Despite whole game’s emotional atmosphere being pretty heavy, I think it had very good humor moments in it, I actually laughed out loud few times. Maybe a part of it is that it took me by surprise but I appreciate wittiness of these lighter moments.

Great writing overall by the way.

Acts 1 and 2. 3 was sad.

bjoern_tantau, 23 dni temu

Plenty of jokes remaining in Act 3. Like Expedition 60.

Katana314, 23 dni temu

I still need to start this.

But I know the feel - games that expand their emotional range often get the best reactions because moving to an extreme of seriousness, sadness, or even humor, can shock the player.

I’m playing it right now.

!When Verso tries to recruit Monoco to go to old Lumière, Monoco is like “No thanks, after last time I made a promise to never follow you again”, to which Verso responds “There’ll be lots of fights…”, and Monoco is like “I’ll follow you anywhere!”. The delivery is a lot better obviously.!<

Monoco: It’s time do defeat her.

to Verso Please help me.

Exactly the scene that came to my mind when responding to this thread, delivery was perfect - especially that you don’t know the dynamic at that point yet. Didn’t play with french voice over but they did a stellar job with english one. They also must’ve had a lot of fun recording these scenes.

Small suggestion though - I’m not sure if I wouldn’t hide this behind a spoiler, you never know which detail might affect someone’s experience.

ISOmorph, 23 dni temu

Good suggestion

Another thing I loved about the game is how much of unapologetic nerds Lune and Gustave are.

biofaust, 23 dni temu

I really want to try it, also because I am studying French and it has full voice over. Problem is, I never managed to play JRPGs, so I am afraid I would be throwing money away.

You can play at low difficulty to make it less frustrating while still enjoying the beautiful story!

Dead Cells had one for me, in the boss fight against the Giant. Spoiler.

SpoilerThe giant is a very melancholic, dignified old servant who’s feeling betrayed and disappointed in the player (long story, happens before the game, you don’t remember it and you’re only just piecing together what happened). When he dies, he starts slowly sinking in lava with a very sad expression, with a speech about how “You were an example to us all”, lamenting about what happened, etc… And just before being completely immerged, with just his hand still reaching out of lava… “You…” “…are an ass!” And he flips you off. Perfect delivery.

We laughed a lot while playing RV there yet. But by myself, probably Disco Elysium.

Indiana Jones and the great circle: npc walking around on Gizeh and the clothes of one being in T-pose.

Oh, Bethesda.

ampersandrew, 23 dni temu

There were actually good, written gags in that game, too. Plus the general “Indy found himself in a place where needed to improvise and punch some Nazis” sort of gameplay that the game did so well. I can’t even recall a single bug from my playthrough.

Strider, 23 dni temu

Yeah that was nice. The whole game was nice albeit too much promise and left far behind by any uncharted (>1) which came long before.

That at a premium price is too little. (not saying anyone should share this highly subjective opinion!)

But that’s not the point I was teing to make. I literally laughed at that typical Bethesda T-pose.

ampersandrew, 23 dni temu

I was a big fan of Uncharted 2 and 3, but Uncharted 4 stopped giving me control of the action and started making it barely interactive or just a cut-scene, and I found The Great Circle to be an excellent counter to that, personally. Even if you saw a T-pose, it doesn’t seem right to call it a typical Bethesda thing. There’s a big difference between Bethesda, the developer of Elder Scrolls, and Machine Games, the developer of Wolfenstein and Indiana Jones; they don’t even use the same engine between them.

Yesterday when I played GTA Online with a friend cause the stuff the heist givers say is so absurd, I love it

MarcomachtKuchen, 23 dni temu do games w When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?

Really enjoyed the short demo of Steam page was really funny. It may sound weird but it’s a mixture of Stanley parable (also fucking amazing) and counter strike 1.6 culture.

Witcher 3, which I played like 3 months ago. There was this one goofy quest where you had to save a mage by getting a magic book with a weird name that you could abbreviate to GOG. You needed a spell from it to disable the mage’s tower defence and regulatory management system (something along those lines), or DRM for short.

Laughed at the humor in a game? High on life had some really good stuff in the opening hour.

Laughed at the situation in a game? My recent play through of the ever chaotic madness that is Far Cry 2.
