History OhCrap / VIDEOGAMES

** [[spoiler: [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Ghetsis]]]] in ''Black''/''White'' expresses his eagerness to see the look on your face when you've lost all hope. Unfortunately, you can neither wish him likewise nor get a good look at ''his'' face when you stomp his fancy hax dragon into so much paste on the floor, [[spoiler: along with his plot to TakeOverTheWorld]].

** In a GameStop ad for ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros1'', the bunny, an {{Expy}} of Mario, takes advantage of his power-up, for a short while. Then it wears off and the bunny freaks out.

* ''Oh Shit!'' for the {{UsefulNotes/MSX}}, one of the laziest ''VideoGame/PacMan'' ripoffs ever made, had a digitized voice saying the game's title whenever the player lost a life.

** ''Everyone Kratos meets and kills.'' Hell, [{SociopathicHero that's everyone Kratos meets]].

** ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'': Up until now, Baldur has been able to effectively NoSell most of what Kratos and Atreus can throw at him due to his invulnerability and HealingFactor. But by the climax of the game, [[spoiler:he's been ReducedToBadass courtesy of getting a mistletoe arrow stabbed in his hand, though he's no less of a threat]]. But when he manages to get the father-son duo in a two-handed lock, he takes his time monologuing instead of killing them. Cue Kratos activating his Spartan Rage and effortlessly breaking out of the hold and chucking the smug god like a football:

** [[spoiler:Ganondorf]] does this in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' right after he realizes that [[spoiler:the Triforce of Power, which had saved him the first time he had been impaled isn't working anymore]]. As well as when [[spoiler: he dies when he sees a maskless Zant (probably as a near-death hallucination), who kills him by]] ''[[spoiler:snapping his own friggin' neck!]]''
** Link gets one in the same game when he finishes off Morpheel, gets warped to Lanayru Spring, turns around, and...[[spoiler:walks right into Zant]]. Right after that, Midna gets one right before [[spoiler: getting hit with a blast of light from Lanayru]].
** Link has quite a few of these moments in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''. The first of them is when he is about to be literally catapulted to the interior of Forsaken Fortress. The second is when he retrieves his sword in said fortress but then he gets trapped in a small battle arena where he has to fight a Bokoblin. The third is when Ganondorf tells him that the Master Sword lost its power.
** Even the [[FeatheredFiend Helmaroc King]] has one. During the beginning of the game, Tetra's crew catapults multiple boulders at him from their ship as he flies away, because he kidnapped Tetra. After several misses, the King looks back at the ship, causing his [[JawDrop beak to open wide]], because he realizes that a boulder is about to smack him in the face. ''[[ThatsGottaHurt It does]]''.
** Tatl has one in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask''. After defeating the Skull Kid, she starts going on about how much of an idiot he was. An offscreen voice agrees with her, and she emphatically continues, thinking it's the Skull Kid coming to his senses, until she realizes it's ''Majora's Mask'' -- the thing she basically thought was just an ''accessory'' -- that is speaking. She may be a glowing ball of light, but you just ''know'' that if she had a visible face, it would have a major Oh Crap expression.
** Even Link has one in ''Majora's Mask'' once the Gibdo Man makes an appearance.
** Before the final boss in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', Link watches the King of Evil he seemingly killed transform into a gigantic monster called Ganon, which then proceeds to knock the only weapon capable of killing it out of Link's hands to land outside the ring of fire surrounding the battlefield. In addition, this moment is one of maybe three times that Link's facial expression changes from that determined frown.
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'', Link has a ''priceless'' reaction when, in the midst of his skydive down to the surface, he realizes that [[spoiler:Groose is diving after him - without anything to use as a parachute]].

** ''Everyone Kratos meets and kills.'' Hell, that's everyone Kratos meets.

-->'''Baldur:''' What? NO!

*** [[spoiler:Hades is the second-hardest [[BonusBoss optional boss]] in the game. However, Ozma, the hardest, can be fought and defeated before you even meet Hades. Do so, and Hades has one of these moments right before the battle begins.]]

* In ''VideoGame/Rockman4MinusInfinity'', [[BonusBoss Shadow Man's]] reaction in Wily Stage 4 when his smoke bomb (that he used to cover his escape every other time) fails to go off. To rub salt into the wound, it then ''does'' go off moments after he explodes.

-->'''J.J.''': '''''JARED! CALL MY DOCTOR AND DOUBLE ALL MY PRESCRIPTIONS!!!'''''

** In a similar vein, in ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan'', Spidey is chasing after the Rhino. When he first comes across the trail of destruction, he knows that fighting the Rhino is going to suck ("Ooooh, this hurts already."). When he meets the Rhino, who in this continuity is a 15-foot tall robotic armor-tank?

** The game has Luke's reaction to [[spoiler: first, the fact he [[NiceJobBreakingItHero inadvertently helped]] the BigBad (his ParentalSubstitute) destroy an entire city, kicking off his evil plan.]] He does it again when TheReveal kicks in [[spoiler: that's he's the [[CloningBlues replica]] of the real Luke.]] Cue HeroicBSOD.

->"[[SymbolSwearing @!#?@!]]"
-->--'''VideoGame/QBert''', when caught by an enemy.

* Even the enemy robots of ''VideoGame/{{Berzerk}}'' fear Evil Otto, as they herald his arrival by shouting "[[AC:Intruder alert! Intruder alert!]]" And for good reason: Evil Otto will destroy anything other than a wall he bounces into, even if that something is a robot.

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':

-->'''Ragna''': Hey! Not you too?! And what's with those eyes? They're... heart-shaped...?!

--> ''TACTICAL NUKE, INCOMING!!!''

-->'''Goon''': "Uh, sir?"
-->'''Dr. Aron''': "What?"
-->'''Goon''': "You, uh, said you wanted to transmit this, uh... live."
-->''beat''
-->'''Dr. Aeon''': "AAAAAGH! Turn it off, TURN IT OFF!"

* In ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'', SmugSnake [[spoiler:Azuma]] assumes that he is a MagnificentBastard, and nonchalantly shrugs off a threat. Much to his shock, however, the one ''making'' the threat then proves he wasn't joking, causing [[spoiler:Azuma]] to almost piss his pants and inadvertently blurt out that [[spoiler:Naoya was ''supposed'' to make the [=COMPs=] incapable of harming 'ranking tamers', rendering them useless against the Shomonkai. Only... Naoya didn't.]] Ass-kicking follows.
** In ''[[UpdatedRerelease Devil Survivor Overclocked]]'', we have these gems from [[TheLancer Atsuro]] and [[TheCaptain Izuna]] in Naoya's 8th Day Scenario, after [[PhysicalGod Metatron]] appears before the heroes, rip shit ''pissed''.
---> '''Atsuro:''' ''Whoa... He... He's HUGE!''
---> '''Izuna:''' ''I've seen angels before but, but that thing's just... it's another order of MAGNITUDE!''

* In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'':

-->'''Sarah Lyons''': Take cover! ''BEHEMOTH!!!''

-->'''Benny:''' The cleaners will knock twice. Make sure they're thorough.
-->'''The Courier''': Yeah, it's a real mess up here - four bodies.
-->'''Benny:''' What the ''fuck''?

--->'''Courier:''' ''"I see. Yes Man, please throw General Oliver from the Dam."''
--->'''Oliver:''' ''"What the hell? No, get away from me, you goddamn TV on wheels!"''

-->'''Klein:''' A... FIGHT? I... I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A FIGHT. WHAT... UH, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT DO I... ''AIIGGHGHH!'' COLLEAGUES! THINK TANK! ALERT! ALERT! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!

---> '''Unfortunate Yuke Ground Unit''': '''HELP US, IT'S ''[[TheDreaded THE RAZGRIZ!]]'''''

---> ''' ''Very'' Unfortunate Yuke Ground Unit''': '''''GET OUTTA THERE, YOU'RE GONNA GET FRIED!'''''

-->''You're not gonna believe this, Jean-Louis! '''All''' of them have ribbon insignias!''

-->'''Vath''': (after his sword and amulet are destroyed) No. NO! You fool! You have no idea what you've done!\\

--->'''Cloud''': [''upon discovering the impaled body of a giant Zolom''] "''Did Sephiroth...do this?''"

* [[spoiler:[[MagnificentBastard Iris]]]] gets one in ''[[{{VideoGame/Rosenkreuzstilette}} Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert]]'' when she realizes that [[LadyOfWar Grolla]] has overheard her plans to [[spoiler:have RKS fight against the [[UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire Holy Empire]] ForTheEvulz]].

-->'''Johnny''': So... who won ''that'' shouting contest?

** "Doctor Freeeeeemannn..."

** You're leisurely driving past the White Forest Inn, when suddenly your cat smashes into a Combine forcefield. "It's a trap!"

-->'''MIRT:''' Looks like that was the last one! ''[beat]'' ...Wait a minute.

* That's one of the possible reactions of a Combine sniper in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', after you toss a grenade in his hideout. Also, in Episode 2, you have to defend a room with four entrance tunnels, each has 3 warning lights that go off when antlions are coming through a tunnel to attack, indicating the amount by the number of lights. For most of the fight, you have to move your two auto-turrets and the two rebels assisting you to a new tunnel to defend. Then your Vortigaunt allies arrive and ''on all four tunnels all three lights light up''. The music of the scene turns it into one of the greatest moments in the whole game series.

** The discovery of Delta Halo in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}''. The look (and reaction) of Johnson says it all.

-->'''Arbiter:''' What is it? More Brutes?\\
