History ButForMeItWasTuesday / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'', it's possible to have the ActionGirl Jill confront the BigBad [[TheCaligula Ashnard]] about the death of General [[spoiler:Shiraham, her father]]: who always struggled in the Daein army and died a rather dishonorable death, no thanks to Petrine. Ashnard's response? "I don't think we ever had a general by that name." Cue the only time in the whole game that Jill goes completely ballistic.

** A probable meta-example in the ''Metal Gear'' series: In the eyes of the players, the best and most defining moments for Solid Snake are the events of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', the Shadow Moses incident, and all of the consequences of it. In-universe, while very important and, thanks to Nastasha, the reason Solid Snake is a household name in the series (none of his operations with FOXHOUND in the MSX games were officially declassified), Shadow Moses is treated as a massive UnwittingPawn stepping stone for every [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]]'s and MagnificentBastard's checklist, a mere component to the greater plan. For Solid Snake, Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land are the most defining moments of his life.

* ''VideoGame/Injustice2'': As is with him in most DCU media, the Joker doesn't remember the names or keep a count of the countless victims he's killed, tormented or maimed throughout his career. Lampshaded in one of his intros with Cyborg.
-->'''Joker:''' And what's your beef?\\
'''Cyborg:''' {{You killed|MyFather}} [[ComicBook/TeenTitans people I loved.]]\\
'''Joker:''' Gonna have to be more specific.

* In the Scenario Campaign of ''Franchise/{{Tekken}} 6'', if Kazuya Mishima confronts Leo, they will tell him that he killed their mother.

** ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'': Abby's entire motivation for [[spoiler:killing Joel]] is because he killed her father ([[spoiler:Jerry, the head surgeon in charge of Ellie's operation who got a nasty case of scalpel during Joel's PapaWolf moment from the climax of the first game.]]) Abby spent four years training hard to become a strong, ruthless killer. Then she [[spoiler:bumps into Joel in a chance encounter (after he ''saved her life'' no less) and blows his leg out with a shotgun blast.]] When he demands to know who she is and why she wants him dead, she smirks and dryly says "Guess", like a typical action protagonist... [[spoiler:[[FaceDeathWithDignity and Joel just scowls and tells her to finish whatever speech she had planned and get her vengeance overwith, because it is clear he hasn't the foggiest inkling of who she is, and why would he? He's killed hundreds, maybe ''thousands'' of people over two decades since the Outbreak.]] You can practically read how disappointed and almost offended she feels in her face.

* In ''VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove'', when Gemini finally catches Ranmaru, the villain that killed her mentor and demands her revenge, Nobunga's [[TheDragon right hand man]] doesn't remember it.

* In ''VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove'', when Gemini finally catches the villain that killed her mentor and demands her revenge, said villain says "You'll have to forgive me. I've killed far too many to keep count."
