History YMMV / Fahrenheit

* MemeticMolester: Or, rather, Memetic Necrophiliac. Specifically, [[spoiler:Carla]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Tyler, despite the UnfortunateImplications below, is one of the few major characters that is generally well received by the fans. One of the reasons could be [[spoiler: he leaves the story near the end, before the really crazy stuff happens]].

* UnfortunateImplications: Detective Tyler Miles' personal soundtrack and sport of choice (for avoiding paying back loans) could be viewed as this.
** Also:
-->'''Book store owner:''' I was born in Brooklyn, man. I never been no further than Long Island. Hey, I'm more American than ''you'' are, man!
** Mental hospital patients are depicted as being literally ''exactly'' like zombies- down to having a ZombieGait. Its shockingly insensitive.
*** Let's not forget that their first instinct upon finding a woman in the dark is to (implied, at least) rape her to death...

* EsotericHappyEnding: The "good" ending... ([[spoiler:Carla and Lucas are having a half-undead child, despite barely knowing one another. The Orange Clan is still at large, they're just leaving humanity at large alone now for some reason. Lucas now has omnipotency, because... ?]])

* EsotericHappyEnding: The "good" ending... ([[spoiler:Carla and Lucas are having a half-undead child, despite barely knowing one another. The Orange Clan is still at large. Lucas has achieved some kind of omnipotency, and is also known to read an awful lot of Nietzche.]])

** You do not get any indication of how much you are allowed to ask at any point. Suddenly one of the people talking simply decides to end the conversation. Usually this is for no apparent reason, not because they get annoyed, tired, have to hurry elsewhere for another valid reason.

** You always get the information necessary to proceed in the plot the same way, so what you choose to ask about amounts to flavour text.

** Mental hospital patients are depicted as being literally 'exactly' like zombies- down to having a ZombieGait. Its shockingly insensitive.

* Narm: In the right mindset the last third of the game is ''absolutely hilarious''.

* FridgeLogic: [[spoiler:After Lucas is revived, his model is re-textured with a paler skin--you know, like a corpse--his breath doesn't fog anymore, and Carla mentions how cold his skin is. So apparently he's lost all body warmth, which suggests they just didn't bother getting his circulatory system back up to standard. Apparently, though, this doesn't affect his ability to knock her up. Completely aside from the InsaneTrollLogic of fixing a man's junk but not his heart, how does he get an erection without effective blood flow?]]

* FridgeLogic: [[spoiler:After Lucas is revived, his model is re-textured with a paler skin: you know, like a corpse. Also, his breath doesn't fog anymore -- implying either that he isn't breathing or that his body temperature is about as low as that of the outside air (or both) -- and Carla mentions (right before they have sex, no less) how cold his skin is. Apparently, though, this doesn't affect his ability to knock her up.]]

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Lucas being chased by [[spoiler: freakishly large, [[RedEyesTakeWarning red-eyed]] Jaguars in a dense jungle while haunting [[OminousLatinChanting Gregorian choirs]] swell in the background]]. If that doesn't unsettle you even a little you must be MadeOfIron.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The point when your previously serious crime mystery has [[spoiler: a Mayan Priest set a Jaguar on you in the jungle]] probably counts, although things continue to get weirder from there.

* EsotericHappyEnding: The aforementioned ending... ([[spoiler:Carla and Lucas are having a half-undead child, despite barely knowing one another. The Orange Clan is still at large. Lucas has achieved some kind of omnipotency, and is also known to read an awful lot of Nietzche.]])

-->'''Book store owner''': I was born in Brooklyn, man. I never been no further than Long Island. Hey, I'm more American than ''you'' are, man!
* VillainDecay: I defy anyone not to take [[spoiler: the Oracle]] less seriously after seeing them wearing [[spoiler: their ridiculous Mayan priest outfit.]]

* DisappointingLastLevel: A story, rather than gameplay-based example. There's a reason why [[ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] calls this phenomenon "Indigo Prophecy syndrome".

* XenSyndrome: A story, rather than gameplay-based example. There's a reason why [[ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] calls this phenomenon "Indigo Prophecy syndrome".

* XenSyndrome: There's a reason why [[ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] calls this phenomenon "Indigo Prophecy Syndrome".

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The game features an original score by Angelo Badalamenti, who scored the majority of DavidLynch's films. Not to mention, an impressive roster of cult classic funk/pop/jazz records.

* MsFanservice: Carla, aside from her being the secondary protagonist of the story, seems to exist mostly to provide fanservice, including a chapter starting with her in the shower, then spending a couple of minutes of gameplay guiding her around her apartment in her underwear. [[spoiler:And then there's the sex scene...]]
* NightmareFuel: Lucas being chased by [[spoiler: freakishly large, [[RedEyesTakeWarning red-eyed]] Jaguars in a dense jungle while haunting [[OminousLatinChanting Gregorian choirs]] swell in the background]]. If that doesn't unsettle you even a little you must be MadeOfIron.
* ScrappyLevel: I refuse to believe any human being likes either of the two stealth based missions in this game. Ugh.

* [[LoveItOrHateIt Love It Or Shove It]]: Either it's a brilliant display of storytelling, character development, and immersion aided by the ActionCommands, or it's an incoherent mess of pointless scenes with irritating action sequences.
** Unless it's a brilliant display of storytelling and character development, ruined by ActionCommands.
