History HumiliationConga / Videogames

* ''VideoGame/MarioKart''. You think you've secured first? Cue Spiny Shell, Lightning, POW Block, Bob-Omb, and a Blooper for good measure. And, with your luck, this happened halfway through the last lap.

* ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' does have one of these, however temporary. [[spoiler:After being bested again, Dr. Wily begs Mega Man for mercy. Rather than do anything direct, Mega Man calls in Rush, who plays a video projection of the past nine times Wily got his ass handed to him. Seeing yourself grovel at the hero's feet nine times over at the same time is pretty embarrassing.]]

* 'VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'': [[UnstoppableRage Muton]] [[TheBerserker Berserkers,]] when wounded, will roar and charge straight at the soldier who shot it. Set it up just right, and brace yourself for major lulz as the Berserker runs all over the map getting shot over and over by your troops, who are probably wetting their Titan armor from their laughter.

** ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'': [[spoiler:Dahlia believes that being dead makes her beyond punishment by the living. But when Phoenix reveals that the target of her revenge, missing and presumed dead, is in fact the medium whose body she is currently inhabiting, he and Mia explain in detail how each of her crimes was a failure, and that she has doomed herself to the "ultimate punishment": spending all eternity as a miserable, pathetic loser. In hell.]]
** In the last case of the second game, ''Justice For All'', it is revealed that [[spoiler:the client is indirectly guilty of the murder, having hired a hitman to do it for him.]] After proving his guilt, the player (Phoenix) gets to decide the guilty man's fate. Have him declared "Guilty" where he will go to jail, or let him be "Not Guilty" where he will immediately be targeted by the hitman that he tried to use as a scapegoat. It's such a lose-lose situation for him that if you choose "Not Guilty," he'll beg and scream and confess to ''everything'' just to get the extra buffer of prison security between him and the hitman.
** Happens to the killer of Case 2 of ''Dual Destinies''. [[spoiler:Florent L'Belle, after his VillainousBreakdown leads to him losing his hair dye and make-up, is revealed as a haggard middle-aged man. He then answers a series of calls on his [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes cell-phone epaulets]], learning that his sponsors are leaving him, he's being fired as the mayor's aide, a vague project is being cancelled, and he is being sued for 100 million dollars for damaging the stratosphere with his products.]]

* In ''SuikodenV'': [[spoiler:Lord Barows suffers one of these when his schemes are revealed. After a particular battle, his secret allies from an enemy nation think he betrayed them; everyone in the party (and anyone in the world who cares to think about it) now knows he is a traitor and is secretly laughing at him as he stammers humiliatingly transparent congratulations. Then his son bursts in and demands that he use the missing MacGuffin whose theft helped spark the current war, revealing that his father was responsible. Then his daughter betrays him and helps the heroes recover the item, which instantly bonds to the hero despite ''two years'' of failed efforts to control it by Barows himself. Then everyone goes from laughing secretly at him to laughing openly at him; all his former allies, one by one, tell him how awful he is and abandon him; his daughter leaves to join the hero, telling her father she hopes she never sees him again; the hero's strategist gives one last parting shot... and then the last person in his manor, his GentleGiant ''storage-room guy'', runs out at the last minute to abandon him and join the heroes as well. Oh, and his end was really painful too: Sialeeds kills him, and as he is in his dying breath, she told him that with the patheticness of his son, his family is just about ready to plummet into destruction.]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaMan 9'' does have one of these, however temporary. [[spoiler:After being bested again, Dr. Wily begs Mega Man for mercy. Rather than do anything direct, Mega Man calls in Rush, who plays a video projection of the past nine times Wily got his ass handed to him. Seeing yourself grovel at the hero's feet nine times over at the same time is pretty embarrassing.]]

** Understandably, he goes into a HeroicBSOD after all this. Less understandably, he then [[spoiler:declares that HumansAreBastards and turns into a full-fledged BigBad]].

* Oddly enough, Grolla Seyfarth in ''{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' has to go through a Conga as well, giving her side-game a DownerBeginning. Despite being of a BadassFamily who's wielded an AncestralWeapon for generations, she gets humiliated by [[spoiler:the MagnificentBastard Iris]], who first shows off her badass power by attacking and heavily injuring her with a sphere attack and then pulls off a WoundedGazelleGambit, making it look like she's an innocent girl being threatened when Sichte walks in, causing her to order Grolla to lower her weapon. But knowing that doing as Sichte ordered could end up causing her own life to be forfeit, Grolla ends up retreating as a result of the humiliation. Tough luck, descendant of Seyfarth!

* [[spoiler:Adachi]] in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''. [[spoiler:When you finally catch up to him, he finally explains himself and his justification... which leads to the entire cast pointing out that he's nothing more than a child in a man's body who can't deal with his own failures and blames other people for his own shortcomings to the point of self-loathing. There's no fear of him anymore, they just want to take him in and get the pest out of their hair. After being beaten by a group of high schoolers, including the cousin of a girl that he tricked someone else into trying to kill, he just ends up becoming a puppet for a greater entity and finds out that he was ultimately just a pawn. By the end, he's broken and admits to everything he did in a more believable way than the actual truth, finally accepting what a terrible human being he is for the first time ever.]]
* In TwistedMetal: Head On, Calypso ends up having to grant a wish to Sweet Tooth, who he insults as usual. It is at this point that Sweet Tooth starts to think; why is he doing all the dirty work for nothing but a wish that will just bite him in the ass anyways? [[spoiler:Why not be the guy calling the shots, with the hot women around him on a throne and a squad of armed guards, all while tricking people into mass slaughter for kicks?]] So, he decides that his wish is to [[spoiler:'Take Calypso's place', which Calypso has no choice but to grant because of the way his power works. He ends up in Sweet Tooth's body and the now-in-charge Needles Kane tells his guards to gun the guy down.]] Granted, you had the ending with Minion in Twisted Metal 2 where [[spoiler:he was dragged to Hell]], but this particular case just screams twisted irony.

* Melodia from BatenKaitos also qualifies. [[spoiler:Her plan to resurrect the dead god and become the ruler of the new world fails when the heroes defeat it. Then, her grandfather tells her that she has been manipulated by the said god all along as part of its EvilPlan. She doesn't take this very well and fuses with the dead god. However, when the dead god is finally destroyed, she ends up getting rescued by the hero. While she is not present in the ending, it's implied that she is suffering due to the massive amount of guilt over almost causing the end of the world.]]

* ''AsurasWrath'': [[spoiler:Near the last leg of the final battle, Chakravartin the Creator sports his own Sanskrit lettered ActionCommands. But after getting hit repeatedly by Asura's barrage, he physically staggers and the action commands start to fail. Asura is just casually pummeling him and countering his attempts to fight back at this point, giving a rather epic and angry [[WorldOfCardboardSpeech speech]] how he's not going to take any more shit from anyone that calls himself a god and/or [[PapaWolf makes his daughter cry]]. So he takes quite a beating before finally dying.]]

* In the ''Redemption'' mod for ''BaldursGate'' ''Throne of Baal'', [[spoiler:Jon Irenicus]] goes through one as part of his redemption. Forced to live through the pain of all of his victims in an instant, he is left in the body of a teenager with a fresh soul and nearly all of his magic forgotten and lost. His epilogue isn't any gentler on him: he suffers insomnia, gets sold into slavery, and realizes that he can never go back to his homeland even after being given his second chance -- he has changed too much. On a more hopeful note, he becomes a better and gentler person, reluctant to use his magic to hurt anyone ever again.

* Some of the deaths of [[SpaceQuest Roger Wilco]] involve him getting (even posthumously) humiliated, such as the [[AuthorAvatar Two Guys from Andromeda]] barging in to show a replay of him purposefully inhaling acidic gas, or an alien couple mistaking Roger's pod disintegrating in the atmosphere for a shooting star, and having a discussion that concludes that "there is no intelligent life in space".
* ''SuikodenIV'' has Snowe suffer through a conga that lasts almost the entire game. The start of the game paints him as a daddy's boy and a DirtyCoward that only got to where he is by nepotism. In time, he sells out his own countrymen to avoid having to fight, and tries acting like a "[[MinorInjuryOverreaction wound]]" on his arm kept him from helping anyone in an ensuing battle. In truth, he just turned tail and fled. He manages to get away, but runs into the PlayerCharacter several more times throughout the game. Each time Snowe is encountered, he's become more of a JerkAss and more increasingly pathetic as it becomes clear that the player is helping ''far'' more than Snowe is. The player does have the option to [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential kill Snowe]] a few of those times, but letting him live seems more like CruelMercy. But, if the player keeps letting Snowe go, then by the end of the game, he's eaten a huge slice of HumblePie and finally sees the error of his ways. Having him in the player's party also unlocks a GameBreaker double team move with Snowe and the player, so it might be worth sparing his sorry hide just for that.

** ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'': [[spoiler: Dahlia believes that being dead makes her beyond punishment by the living. But when Phoenix reveals that the target of her revenge, missing and presumed dead, is in fact the medium whose body she is currently inhabiting, he and Mia explain in detail how each of her crimes was a failure, and that she has doomed herself to the "ultimate punishment": spending all eternity as a miserable, pathetic loser. In hell.]]

It's such a lose-lose situation that if you choose "Not Guilty," he'll beg and scream and confess to ''everything'' just to get the extra buffer of prison security between him and the hitman.
** Happens to the killer of Case 2 of ''Dual Destinies''. [[spoiler: Florent L'Belle, after his VillainousBreakdown leads to him losing his hair dye and make-up, is revealed as a haggard middle-aged man. He then answers a series of calls on his [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes cell-phone epaulets]], learning that his sponsors are leaving him, he's being fired as the mayor's aide, a vague project is being cancelled, and he is being sued for 100 million dollars for damaging the stratosphere with his products.]]

After particular battle, his secret allies from an enemy nation think he betrayed them; everyone in the party (and anyone in the world who cares to think about it) now knows he is a traitor and is secretly laughing at him as he stammers humiliatingly transparent congratulations.

Oh, and his end was really painful too: Sialeeds kills him, and as he is in his dying breath, she told him that with the patheticness of his son, his family is just about ready to plummet into destruction]]

** [[spoiler:Princess gets kidnapped, Oersted goes off to save the princess, fails, gets tricked into killing the king, goes back to confront the evil demon and try to save the princess again, finds out that Straybow orchestrated the whole thing cause he wanted to humiliate Oersted, Oersted kicks his ass, princess more or less walks in, declares her love for Straybow, and then kills herself.]]
*** Oh, and we forgot that he also [[spoiler: watches the great hero of the land die, helpless to assist him, and than, he witnesses the heroes right hand assistant die right next to him as well, by the end, everyone who said they believed in him dies.]] Let's just say, [[UnstoppableRage he doesn't take it well...]]

* In ''VideoGame/RoadRunnersDeathValleyRally'', Wile E.'s signature traps (including the batsuit, explosives in model airplanes, and catapults) repeatedly backfire on him throughout the game. At the end of every "boss level," though, he really gets it, yet he [[WhatAnIdiot keeps shooing away the fat lady who would end it all by singing]]. Culminated in the final level, when the Road Runner destroys the Coyote's HumongousMecha. [[spoiler: Since said battle occurred on the moon, you're treated to the usual "Coyote plummets towards the ground" shot... except he's plummeting towards Earth from orbit. On the way down, he holds up a sign requesting that the game end before he hits. It doesn't. Instead, he lands neck deep in the ground, scant feet from the finish line to the titular race. Then, a truck runs over him, dislodging its cargo of [[MadeOfExplodium exploding planes and robots]]. Which naturally all converge on him and explode. The Road Runner then runs up, gives the raspberry, and crosses the finish line. Then, the fat lady is heard singing... and a ShadowOfImpendingDoom appears over the Coyote. It ends much as you'd expect.]]
* In ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'', Link gets this by being trapped in the [[GameBreaker Great Fairy's Bottle]], is used as a projectile, and has to dodge attacks for her to defend. [[GoodBadBugs It gets worse with the Weapon Swap Glitch]], being used by [[MadeOfEvil Ganondorf]], [[ForTheLulz Zant]], and/or [[{{Yandere}} Cia]]
* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'', Sequences 5 through 9 are one long spree of failures for [[spoiler:Cesare Borgia]]: first Ezio [[spoiler: murders Cesare's money-man who was his main source of funds, then he deprives Cesare of his French allies and (optionally) his Leonardo da Vinci-designed war machines, kills Cesare's lieutenants and wrests control of Rome away from Cesare, ''all'' right under his nose. Cesare then gets a stern talking-to -- and attempted poisoning -- from his daddy who'd withheld financial support for him and didn't even tell him about the death of his French general, though Rodrigo's attempt at a last solution [[HoistByHisOwnPetard fatally backfires]]. Cesare's own sister Lucrezia betrays the location of the Apple of Eden to Ezio, who reaches it first despite Cesare's head start, and then wields it to escape from the Vaticano District, incapacitating quite a few Borgia troops along the way. Several surviving Cardinals put their support behind "Della Rovere" (actually Giuliano della Rovere) for the Papacy after telling Cesare that his family's money is "tainted," even though Cesare had paid for their appointments. After several skirmishes in Roman streets are all lost by Cesare's men, in the final battle for Rome the Assassins openly take to the streets and literally force him outside one of the city gates. Even then Cesare still believes that his army is returning to retake Rome, led by his hitman... but instead, a general forced into his service arrests Cesare at the new Pope's order -- complete with a charge of incest -- and Cesare is dragged away by Papal Guards who he might have previously commanded. It would be a year or more before he escaped, breaking several bones in the process, and Ezio would finally catch up to him while Cesare was making a last desperate grab at a comeback -- not command''ing'', but command''ed'' by a relative.]]

** Discordia was unmasked and revealed to be a fake Chaos Lord controlled by the real Chaos Lord, Kimberly, who eventually had the Chaos EarWorm in the form of a Chaotic song sung to her by Drakath that got stuck in her head beaten out of her returning her to normal and [[DefeatMeansFriendship causing her to join the heroes' cause]]

** But probably the grandest Conga to date has to go to Noxus at the end of the Shadowfall War. [[spoiler:After Vordred is called away by Sally just as he and Noxus are about to finish the heroes off with Gravelyn's own undead army, which Noxus himself first created for her father Sepulchure, Noxus gets knocked right off the Shadowscythe throne by Chuckles, the skeletal minion who was killed by Drakath on his first appearance and is now nothing more than a skull. Chuckles was unaffected by the spell that turned all of Gravelyn's army against her because Noxus didn't create him -- he was Gravelyn's first undead minion. Chuckles frees Gravelyn, who wastes no time in taking back control of her army and allowing the heroes through to defeat Noxus. After Noxus is defeated, he gets blasted one in the face by Gravelyn herself when he taunts you on how he cannot be killed. As the Hero and Gravelyn talk about Vordred and the upcoming Arc Attack event, the Hero smacks Noxus down each time he tries to rise again, until Gravelyn gets the idea to give Chuckles a promotion -- by swapping his skull with that of Noxus, giving him a new body! Gravelyn promptly delivers a ShoutOut to Hamlet with Noxus' skull, before planning to have it made into a new weapon for her...by Cysero]]. Tough break, bonehead!
* In the ''Redemption'' mod for ''BaldursGate'' ''Throne of Baal'', [[spoiler:Jon Irenicus]] goes through one as part of his redemption. Forced to live through the pain of all of his victims in an instant, he is left in the body of a teenager with a fresh soul and nearly all of his magic forgotten and lost. His epilogue isn't any gentler on him: he suffers insomnia, gets sold into slavery and realizes that he can never go back to his homeland even after being given his second chance -- he has changed too much. On a more hopeful note, he becomes a better and gentler person, reluctant to use his magic to hurt anyone ever again.

* ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'': In a five-part final boss fight, K. Rool is not only beaten he's outright humbled. Highlights include Diddy Kong dropping arena lights onto his head, Tiny Kong shooting him in the foot with arrows ''sixteen times'', and Chunky Kong growing to K. Rool's size and punching him into next week. After it's all said and done, Funky Kong shoots K. Rool in the ass with a rocket launcher, blasting him to the lair of a giant minion he betrayed, who pummels him even more. That'll teach him to try to blow up DK Isles!
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' can be seen as one for [[spoiler: Harbinger, as he goes to great lengths to kill [[PlayerCharacter Commander Shepard]], then hires the Shadow Broker to make sure s/he's dead, the Broker fails to get Shepard's body and Shepard is [[CameBackStrong rebuilt, tougher and better.]] Then goes on a SuicideMission, which Shepard survives, killing Harbinger's most useful minions as well as a potential ace up the sleeve(The human reaper). After which, Shepard kills the now Reaper allied Shadow Broker, replacing him with a good friend. Then when some of Harbingers indoctrinated humans capture Shepard and stop him/her from destroying the Mass Relay the Reapers would use to easily travel all over the galaxy, Shepard escapes, [[OneManArmy kills everyone in his/her]] [[CurbStompBattle way in the entire base]] and destroys the aforementioned Mass Relay. It culminates when Harbinger uses a hologram to talk with Shepard which he says.]]

* ''AsurasWrath'': [[spoiler: Near the last leg of the final battle, Chakravartin the Creator sports his own Sanskrit lettered ActionCommands. But after getting hit repeatedly by Asura's barrage, he physically staggers and the action commands start to fail. Asura is just casually pummeling him and countering his attempts to fight back at this point, giving a rather epic and angry [[WorldOfCardboardSpeech speech]] how he's not going to take anymore shit from anyone that calls himself a god and/or [[PapaWolf makes his daughter cry]].

* [=GLaDOS=] in ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' goes through a series of this, although [[LaserGuidedKarma she probably deserved it]] after trying so damn hard to kill you in the first game and the second game. After being destroyed by Chell previously, [=GLaDOS=], after being revived, tells Chell how she had to endure reliving her death over and over again for years (implied to be hundreds or even ''thousands'' of years) because of her black box quick save feature. After [=GLaDOS=] decides to try and kill Chell again, she discovers that Chell replaced the turrets with crappy ones and disabled the neurotoxins, making [=GLaDOS=] helpless. After that, Chell forces a process that swaps [=GLaDOS=] and Wheatley's bodies, to which Wheatley [[spoiler: stuffs [=GLaDOS=] in a potato and after that, she gets partially eaten by a bird.]]

* Thanks to some VideoGameCrueltyPotential, you can put [[Disney.PeterPan Captain Hook]] through one in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''. Not only is the player required to beat him up, after Peter had poked him in the rear with his dagger, but you can amuse yourself more by making Captain Hook jump off the ship (or throw him off!), causing him to yell "[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes YOU'LL NOT GET ME OTHER HAND!]]", or light him on fire with Fira. Then after he is beaten, the crocodile starts chasing after him. And if you carry a lot of status-inducing spells in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', you can make Captain Hook's day absolutely ''miserable'' - He's only immune to ''one'' status effect. Suddenly, his status as That One Boss in Chain of Memories makes sense - he wants revenge for the torment you likely put him through.

** ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Trials and Tribulations'': [[spoiler: Dahlia believes that being dead makes her beyond punishment by the living. But when Phoenix reveals that the target of her revenge, missing and presumed dead, is in fact the medium whose body she is currently inhabiting, he and Mia explain in detail how each of her crimes was a failure, and that she has doomed herself to the "ultimate punishment": spending all eternity as a miserable, pathetic loser.

* VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown: [[UnstoppableRage Muton]] [[TheBerserker Berserkers,]] when wounded, will roar and charge straight at the soldier who shot it. Set it up just right, and brace yourself for major lulz as the Berserker runs all over the map getting shot over and over by your troops, who are probably wetting their Titan armor from their laughter.

* In a heroic ([[spoiler:at the time, anyway]]) example, [[spoiler:Oersted]] of ''LiveALive'' gets put through one of these in his chapter, courtesy of [[spoiler:his childhood friend / UnknownRival Straybow]]. To explain the whole thing would make this entry waaaaaayyyy too long, so to summarize it:

** In the last case of the second game, ''Justice For All'', it is revealed that [[spoiler: the client is indirectly guilty of the murder, having hired a hitman to do it for him.]] After proving his guilt, the player (Phoenix) gets to decide the guilty man's fate. Have him declared "Guilty" where he will go to jail, or let him be "Not Guilty" where he will immediately be targeted by the hitman that he tried to use as a scapegoat. Truly a lose-lose situation for the guy.

[[spoiler:When you finally catch up to him, he finally explains himself and his justification...which leads to the entire cast pointing out that he's nothing more than a child in a man's body who can't deal with his own failures and blames other people for his own shortcomings to the point of self-loathing.

Not only is the player required to beat him up, after Peter had poked him in the rear with his dagger, but you can amuse yourself more by making Captain Hook jump off the ship (or throw him off!), causing him to yell "[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes YOU'LL NET GET ME OTHER HAND!]]", or light him on fire with Fira. (Bonus points if he puts his pants out over the water) Then after he is beaten, the crocodile starts chasing after him. And if you carry a lot of status-inducing spells in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', you can make Captain Hook's day absolutely ''miserable'' - He's only immune to ''one'' status effect!

* ''PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Trials and Tribulations'': [[spoiler: Dahlia believes that being dead makes her beyond punishment by the living. But when Phoenix reveals that the target of her revenge, missing and presumed dead, is in fact the medium whose body she is currently inhabiting, he and Mia explain in detail how each of her crimes was a failure, and that she has doomed herself to the "ultimate punishment": spending all eternity as a miserable, pathetic loser. In hell.]]
** In the last case of the second game, Justice For All, it is revealed that [[spoiler: the client is indirectly guilty of the murder, having hired a hitman to do it for him.]] After proving his guilt, the player (Phoenix) gets to decide the guilty man's fate. Have him declared "Guilty" where he will go to jail, or let him be "Not Guilty" where he will immediately be targeted by the hitman that he tried to use as a scapegoat. Truly a lose-lose situation for the [[strike:poor]] guy.

* ''MarioKart'' AND HOW. You think you've secured first? Cue Spiny Shell, Lightning, POW Block, Bob-Omb, and a Blooper for good measure. And, with your luck, this happened halfway through the last lap.

** Happens to the killer of Case 2 of ''Dual Destinies''. [[spoiler: L'Belle, after his VillainousBreakdown, answers a bunch of cellphone calls, learning that his sponsors are leaving him, being fired as the mayor's aide, a vague project is being cancelled, and he is being sued for 100 million dollars for damaging the stratosphere with his products.]]
* Some of the deaths of [[SpaceQuest Roger Wilco]] involve him getting (even posthumously) humiliated, such as the [[AuthorAvatar Two Guys from Andromeda]] barging in to show a replay of him purposefully inhaling acidic gas, or an alien couple casually looking at Roger's pod disintegrating in the air, and having a discussion that concludes that "there is no intelligent life in space".

* [=GLaDOS=] in ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' goes through a series of this, although [[LaserGuidedKarma she probably deserved it]] after trying so damn hard to kill you in the first game and the second game. After being destroyed by Chell previously, [=GLaDOS=], after being revived, tells Chell how she had to endure reliving her death over and over again for years (implied to be hundreds or even ''thousands'' of years) because of her quick save blackbox feature. After [=GLaDOS=] decides to try and kill Chell again, she discovers that Chell replaced the turrets with crappy ones and disabled the neurotoxins, making [=GLaDOS=] helpless. After that, Chell forces a process that swaps [=GLaDOS=] and Wheatly's bodies, to which Wheatly [[spoiler: stuffs [=GLaDOS=] in a potato and after that, she gets partially eaten by a bird.]]

* In the first ''{{Drakengard}}'' game, a ''really'' brutal Humiliation Conga is served to Manah in the first ending ([[BittersweetEnding the one with the least tragedy]], to be clear). [[spoiler:When the BigBad goes as far as to beg the AntiHero to kill her, or else she will... ''do something'', you know she has hit rock bottom.]]
